K-ON!

If there's one person I usually look too to find interesting anime before it ever leaves Japan, it's Jeff Lawson. Earlier this month in his blog Jeff mentioned a new TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) TV Anime series, K-ON! It's a series based on a manga series about a group of school girls who form a band in order to save their schools light music club. The twist is that none of the have any experience playing music instruments or reading sheet music.

It doesn't sound exciting, but the shows like this always find ways of grabbing your attention and becoming awesome shows. Be it the music, voice acting, writing, or just the art, Anime can take just about any idea and turn it into a thing of beauty. Or just milk it for money... *cough*Naruto*cough*

If, by some twist of fate, this anime series actually makes it to these shores, I'll have to remember to pick it up.
