It’s graduation time for the members of Sakuragaoka Girl’s High School Light Music Club and Japan’s hottest all-girl teen pop group are about to mark the momentous occasion with their very own Magical Musical Tour in the form of a five-day trip to London, England. But, despite their excitement, the girls’ minds are slightly preoccupied with coming up with a suitable present for their underclassman rhythm guitarist, Azusa, who is destined to remain in school without them when they all leave for college. Naturally, once the gang arrives in Britain, chaos reigns during their stay as they embark on a whistle-stop tour of the capital, breathlessly taking in the sights from Camden to Earl’s Court, Westminster to the West End and Soho to the South Bank. The adventure also sees them unexpectedly unleashing their effervescent pop music upon an unsuspecting but highly appreciative British public!

It’s not hard to see why K-ON! has become one of the biggest anime franchises in recent years. It’s accessible, fun, cute, hugely entertaining and, animation-wise, oozes quality from every single frame. K-ON! The Movie is an irresistible slice of Japanese pop confectionery, full of likeable characters, comedic situations and catchy music presented in a truly impressive animation style. The London sequences, in particular, are visually outstanding in their attention to detail. It’s a must-see for animation fans.
