I’m surprised almost nobody was able to guess what my number one would be, above all once all the big hits (Oreimo, Yosuga no Sora, etc.,) had already appeared. Yes, my favorite anime of the year was none other than the longer, more awesome second season of Kyoani’s K-ON.

So what makes K-ON so great? I could speak about the characters. All of them are truly great people. They are kind, warm, dependable. In fact, the chemistry among Mio, Yui, Ritsu, Mugi and Azusa, but we can’t forget Ui, Jun, Nodoka or Sawako-sensei as well, was outstanding. It was such a pleasure to see their interactions, always full of friendship, lacking any malice. And since we got a 24-episode season, even Azusa and Mugi, for example, got to spend some time together, learning about their differences and about what they have in common, learning about each other, deepening their bonds.
