@Tony
Yup, they did end it a tad bit short, didn’t they? Still I do hope to see more of HTT’s vocal stuff and not the BGM. The BGM was just unbearable!

@James
The music you say? Which ones? Do keep in mind that this review touches upon the background music, which is utterly terrible in my book since it’s uninspiring tripe. But the vocal music like Fuwa Fuwa Time? Yeah, I dig that kind of stuff because it’s pretty enjoyable. Same goes for My Love is a Stapler.

K-ON is light and fluffy (like one of it’s songs lol), but somehow, I’ve gotten more mileage out of other anime in its general category like Hidamari Sketch, Sketchbook ~Full Colors~, and Working!!. If my guesses are correct, few people would consider these to be heavy shows since they’re so easygoing and nice to watch. I just think they’re better, and that K-ON doesn’t live up to those shows. That’s just me though.

I love the music in this show, to be honest I’m rather fond of this show. When I found K-on! I had just gone a spree of watching some very heavy shows(I.E. Eva, Gantz, Clannad After Story, yes, that’s heavy) so K-on! gave me some refreshment and put a little more perk in my step just because of its ability to be random and fun. The music the band makes along with the music in the show is very upbeat and very random, and very refreshing. I live in the U.S. all of our media here is very stale to say the least.

I’ll admit you have to be into these types of shows to like K-on! It’s one of those love it or hate it shows, the people more into the hardcore shows are probably going to be turned away from it while those who are fond of the fun easy going shows are going to like this a lot more.

I love this show!!! And the music is really great too, its like the icing on the cake, I hope they continue the anime, because it is too short cuz they didnt finish the anime in relation to the manga. I LOVE K-ON!

Well, don’t despair entirely. I thought that Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid’s soundtrack was really good, but it is Sahashi at the helm, so that’s to be expected.

Why do people seem to forget that KyoAni also touched the FMP series? :p

I watched an episode, and sort of gave up after that =/ Might give it a go again in the future, but I’m not digging the moe ><

The OST is very ordinary indeed, hmm just realized all the music I like from KyoAni shows are done by the Key composers…

@Karisu
Yeah, I’m also hoping this becomes nothing more than a side project. Still, when it comes to drumming up their fanbase in the area of moedom, KyoAni doesn’t have any close competitors.

Lelangir did say elsewhere that the composer is fairly new to the scene, but that still doesn’t excuse the poor quality of this album. Like Sorrow-kun said, it’s really all about the vocal songs (redundant?) and nothing else.

I can’t help but agree with everything you’ve said here.

I started off really liking the show, which did have a real charm at first, but it’s just meandered and gotten stale as it went on.

I’m honestly shocked and disappointed at KyoAni for really dropping the ball with this show on almost every level. This is far below par for them and feels purely like a filler series while they work on whatever project they’re really putting their efforts into.

Now, strictly as far as the music goes, there are maybe a small handful of tracks on the OST that are pleasant to listen too, however that’s the greatest compliment that can be given to them. Pleasant is nice, but that does not make them memorable or necessarily all that good.

Very disappointing music from a very disappointing show.

@Sorrow-kun
I’ll agree that Mario Galaxy was fantastic, but can we really say the same about any subsequent Nintendo soundtracks for the Wii? The only other decent soundtrack offering was Brawl, but that’s because they took a sample size of VGM composers and assigned them certain tracks. As it stands, I can’t think of any stellar Wii music aside from those two and maybe Opoona. Maybe I’m just not thinking hard enough.

And yeah, the insert songs are where it’s at. I think someone else posted that one should only watch the show for the musical performances. Everything else is just so subpar that it’s the only real bright spot. Songwriter Mio looks to be sticking to subjects that she’s familiar with. :3

The Nintendo comparison is an interesting one, but I’m not sure it’s apt anymore (Super Mario Galaxy’s soundtrack is just amazing). I haven’t listened the soundtrack itself, but the anime’s background music is certainly boring. In general there doesn’t seem to be much emphasis on a unique aesthetic, which is why it seems to fall down in a number of places when compared to something from the same genre, like Hidamari Sketch.

The insert songs are certainly a lot better, but the titles of the insert songs are even better again. “My Love is a Stapler”? That’s brilliant!
