The Blackberry Walk

K-on is perfect perfection. The quintessence of the quintessence. Moe is not an easy emotion to put into words. It is a complex yet simple. Fiery yet calming. Pure joy, yet, at the flick of a switch, can become emotional beyond belief. Moe is, in a sense, a vision of heaven, a look at the ordinary lives of perfect people. There may be mistakes characters make, character do develop as the show proceeds, but throughout the show, truly moe characters begin and end with their unique lustre. They are whole, complete, eternal, perfect. And such a divine image can move the heart of man. If moe is a glimpse at perfection, K-on is a glimpse at perfect perfection. It's hard to point to what K-on does differently to others in the genre. The same tried and tested techniques, same popular character archetypes. But it's perfect. K-on embodies the true form, the quintessence, of the genre. K-on gives you a vision of pure beauty, of timeless joy, to hold in your heart. K-on may be the closest moe has come to achieving God in art - it certainly is for me.
