Anime ATM 58 K-On! Movie

You might or might not be wondering how I rang in my eighteenth year of life. I did so by watching this movie. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen if I'm being honest, but it was a slow, easy, light-hearted way to start off my first moments as an adult: watching a show for middle aged men (well this is according to my friend anyways).

{What are spoilers with the whole K-On franchise anyways?}

So, this movie had no plot. It was actually just based around the fact that Yui, Ritsu, Mio, and Mugi were graduating soon and realized that they hadn't made a big impact as seniors in high school. Relatable. To remedy this they think they should give Azusa a gift to be determined when the inspiration strikes. And then they head off to London because the volleyball team was going on a graduation trip too to Hawaii. They don't speak great English for the most part, but apparently this isn't a problem because this lands them in a bunch of ridiculous scenarios like landing an accidental gig at a conveyor belt sushi store's grand opening. Or the fact that even in England they're eating Japanese food. Or they never had afternoon tea despite actually being Hokago Tea Time. But they made fun memories.

This really hit me in the feels because poor Azusa's gonna be alone next year and she's gonna either have to coerce Jun and Ui into the Light Music Club or she's gonna disband the club and just play with her senpais or she'll be the ultra senpai with a bunch of first year members. Who knows? But this movie wasn't so much about the future but more as a last hurrah for Hokago Tea Time. This was their last year and last time as high school girls altogether which made it bittersweet because me too. I was just there as a high school student ending that chapter of my life. Well, that's a lot of high school slice of life anime anyways right?

Overall, this movie has no real plot. There's not a whole lot to think about. It's full of fuwa fuwa times and good jams (see what I did there?). Watch it if you're a completionist with the K-On series or just if you want to see ridiculous shenanigans.

Okay, who drew this picture? It's almost horrifying.

AKA the catalyst for this whole movie #relatable

When they were all singing the song it was super cute so I had to add it in even though there's no audio clip to go along with it

They really just give all the L's to Yui

When you leave your whole fate up to a turtle

Who is she imitating??

Gotta love that London aesthetic
