K-on is a good SOL anime but a poor music show

They drank more tea in this anime than they actually played music,
I believe there was more music in one episode of You lie in April, kids on the slope and Sound Euphonium than the entirety of K-on, so I'm wondering why this was marketed as a music anime rather than more of SOL antics type of show
Cause anyone who wants to watch this show for its music rather than it's SOL antics 9/10 of them are going to get disappointed.

Every CGDCT anime must have some sort of twist or theme it is centered about.
Yuru Camp has camping, Non Non Biyori has country setting, K-ON has music.

Yeah, I agree,
I also thought K on focusing music.

So for who expert K On is Anime music, they will be disappointed.
Just wrong expectation, K on is still great as Anime SOF+CGDCT.

So you want to tell me this is a truly good "music" anime
K-on is about 4 girls going through high school with their cute SOL antiques
what more is there to understand?

You can count on one hand the nos of times they performed in this anime
it had 40 episodes in total and like what three performances in all.

the fact that no one has voted for music says something as well 😂

Putting a 'both' option will defeat the purpose of finding out which one the fandom liked most

and I still gave both seasons of K-on a 7 so I didn't dislike the show

I don't think so. majority of the people liked both of the aspects rather than liking only one aspect. You're the minority of the people who came for just one aspect and got disappointed.

Yeah... I don't think your claim that this was marketed as a more pure music show than a CGDCT SOL type show really holds any water.

Your lie in april, beck and carol and tuesday is the music anime that i watch has musical performing or singing every 3 to 4 episodes. While K-on has more 7 or more episode every performance from what i remember. I think safe to say k-on is indeed music theme anime but if you are looking for anime where they introduce new music or performance every other episode you gonna be disappointed.

If we're talking about a more modern perspective it's an obvious CGDCT/SOL show at heart, but in 2009? I can't say that for certain.

I thought maybe the girls would practice more & make more songs, but I enjoyed the anime either way.

I thought this was a music anime. I was wrong. It was a show about lazy brats doing nothing but drink tea and never practice or put in hard work… and still succeed. Hated it with all my heart and soul.

I enjoyed it for the music, which is why I didn’t like the show. It was too much moe and too little music, and the progress was incredibly slow. I was expecting slice of life music show, but it was slice of life moe. Bocchi the rock is currently airing and that seems to have a good balance so far and is a bit funny, so I recommend checking it out.

Can’t vouch for season 2 or the movie but when I think music, I think of your lie in April.
