The Criterion Collection just added the K-ON movie to their catalogue, cementing it as a classic anime film for the ages. That said, they only have 5 anime titles in the collection, so we’ll take it with a grain of salt lol.
However, it’s a great excuse for us to revisit an iconic Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) anime from the early 2000’s!
So, does K-On hold up to current audience expectations? Or does its meandering, slice of life pacing made it harder for current audiences to enjoy?
Join us as we share our thoughts, dig into the series history and explain why the series ended despite its huge popularity.
Also, BIG apologies on the delayed recording and release - illnesses, travel for work and scheduling conflicts made this episode a real struggle to get out. Our next 2 releases may see delays due to Kyle travelling extensively for work over the next 6 weeks, but we’ll keep you in the loop!
