Tell them that K-ON! is an anime about the degradation of Japan. It’s a nihilistic depiction of a country with neither purpose nor moral direction. Both a brutal critique of male-centric capitalism as well as the hierarchical structure of Japanese society, the series has garnered a following among anarchist groups around the world. The plot of K-ON! focuses on a circle of four high school students named Yui, Ritsuko, Tsumugi and Mio. They form a band and start playing music. Later they are joined by one more member, Azusa, who effectively embodies the spirit of Japan. The core group subjects Azusa to both mental and physical harassment until their final graduation from the all-girl’s school of Sakuragaoka.

Both inside Sakuragaoka as well as outside on the streets there are no male characters. Men are never even mentioned, save for one or two exceptions during the whole two seasons, and the girls only exhibit sexual interest towards each other. Even though the writing in K-ON! places heavy emphasis on appreciating femininity, it does not subscribe to the ideological tenets of radical feminism. Eradicating all men from a fictional world is not a misandrist fantasy. If anything, K-ON! is communist.

Furthermore, the series establishes that the girls have real natural talent, which they spend every minute wasting. Snacking, chatting and loafing around replace a lion’s share of their practice time. They do this in order to retain the status quo of their group dynamic, a nod towards communist ideals of equality. The band members some times talk about how they should practice, but they rarely do.

One could argue K-On’s underlying message is the importance of friendship, but when you pay attention to how that friendship seems to come at the cost of everything else in the girls’ lives, you can tell the author had something completely else in mind. Friendship is their excuse for not seeking anything valuable in their lives, such as better grades, parental approval, teachers’ respect or sexual experiences. Family and morals are hollow concepts in K-ON. Japanese society places great importance to age and rank, but this authority is notably absent in the series; even the traditional authority figure, parents, are never shown.

K-On! is not a happy story, made most evident in how the band members systematically bully their freshman member, Azusa. They call her Azunyan to tentatively tease her, but calling names has historically been how individuals and even entire ethnic groups have been taught to internalize their low social status. The girls establish dominance over their kohai through means of consistent ironic sexual harassment, which the timid Azusa is verbally unequipped to combat. It is notable that these days the incorrect use of irony is one of the last bastions where sexual and racist stereotypes prevail. This is a subtle criticism of the freedom of speech, giving the series a fascist undertone.

K-ON! is a beautifully animated show and seemingly cutesy, but it offers a grim visage into the national psyche of a country in spiritual decline.

The only one with lesbian tendences seems to be Tsumugi, Ritsu mentioned she would first tell Mio about her eventual boyfriend.
