K-on!

(L-R) Mio [bass, vocals], Ritsu [drums], Yui [guitar, vocals], Mugi [keyboard]

K-on! (anime)
Full of purity and innocence, it's a really fun and relaxing anime to watch. As a guitarist myself, it really gives me a joy and dream that I could have a club like that in my own school. Don't underestimate the music provided for this anime either, as it is actually very difficult to play in real life, especially Go! Go! Maniac!

K-on! Season 2
A new guitarist joins the Light Music Club as a new year brings the next class of juniors into the school. It resolves around mini adventures as they prepare for their final year of graduation. The ending is a sentimental happy ending and of course, we all want to know of their lives after graduation, right?

K-on! (manga)
The manga had a simple structure and is very fun to read. It continues how the four girls continues to spend their time together in University. It's a brilliant story and something all friendship groups wish to have.

My Overall Rate: 3/5

Masashi Kishimoto - Naruto


Naruto (anime)
As one of my first anime, I got into it fairly easily. At the beginning, it's a fun series to watch, but you soon learn that the entire series isn't just about different adventurous arcs, but a few large conspiracies. It's amazing just to watch the characters grow stronger and you end up being able to list your favourites.

Naruto Shippuuden
After the 3 year gap, there are lots to learn about the newly refreshed Naruto, and many tragedies join as things get serious. It all becomes a dire game of life and death for the young characters who are just growing up. It's a great anime to watch, though as you wait for one episode per week, you may become confused on the new characters and what is happening, especially if you are me who reads multiple manga at once.

Naruto (manga)
The art for this manga series may appear quite simple, but it is quite complex. Although sometimes it may become confusing, the background art is impressive. Like most of the other manga-turned-anime series, the manga is much better.

I highly recommend this manga series!!

My Overall Rate: 4.5/5
