Manliness?! Pfft, get that out of the way! For an adorable show like K-On!, it's simply not needed. All I care about is to be turned into a euphoric blob and I have to say, it's nice to not be a human every once in a while...
Yep. So somehow, blob me is typing this right now. Don't mind the change though. I was fully prepared after becoming too affectionate with the show. After all, sweet besties are always a treat to watch. Whether that's having silly fun, eating yummy desserts together, or playing music. They laugh, I laugh. They smile, I smile. They laze around, I laze around. They're happy? I'm happy! Life doesn't always need dramatic events. I mean, have you had those rare moments when there were no panic and only relief? Like waking up thinking you're late for school or work but it was actually the holiday. Nice feeling isn't it, being able to relax? That same floaty sensation wraps itself around this pure slice-of-life. Really, nothing much went on in the story. But that is exactly why the enjoyment worked. Nothing much happen, so the girls' different but equally childlike personalities can glow against what should've been a dull setting. They are such a likable bunch with great bonds and similar love for music. It's no wonder why I can't count how many times my jaw tires out from laughing because of their interactions. No wonder why my heart tires out after getting bombarded with tons of cuteness. Huh, no wonder why I turned into a blob. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes.
But wait! I can't fully talk about cuteness without expressing the art. Yes, it is simple but blobby me liked it. Blobby me also thinks the simplicity helps in defining the cuteness even further as too much details can be masking. Let's see here, the ingredients. Chubby faces, big eyes, innocent expressions, adorable clothes. Ah, that's eyebleach right there! So sorry for any puppies and kittens and other cute animals out there. You guys are still great but this is a major competitor. My human self melted from all the warmth in the atmosphere. Even more with the animation. Dynamic and fluidity communicates with delightful consistency. Their reactive body mannerisms speak emotions when words are not needed. Oh, and hello deformations! Other than the fact they look like blob me, intended or not, I found that it emphasizes the comedic nature of the characters really well so smiles turned into giggles. And when they speak or chatter actually, you can describe the voice acting as endearing. Blissful pretty much every time. Not many background soundtracks but they didn't bog down the fluffiness. Being characters from their own music club, the couple of songs they play on their concerts are nice to listen to. Seeing them enjoying themselves up on the stage always brings a smile to my blobby face.
You know, watching a few episodes of K-On! at night in a soft bed with a fluffy blanket, I always slept feeling really happy. Blob or not, goofing around with an anime like this to distract you once in a while is really not a bad thing to conclude your day on a relaxing note.
