Description : Graduation time is finally here, but the girls of the Sakuragaoka Girl's High Light Music Club aren't going to let the end of high school be the end of all they've built together. First though, they have to keep a promise to take a trip together, and like everything else they do, they're not doing it halfway. So it's time to hop on the bus - the double-decker bus that is - and go around the world as the band heads for the birthplace of the British Invasion: the United Kingdom! And on the way they're going to have to solve that one last big puzzle that's been vexing them: what to get for their underclassman rhythm guitarist Azusa, who will be taking over the club once they don their caps and gowns and leave Sakuragaoka for the last time. Get ready for a Magical Musical Tour as the whole gang takes in the sights and sounds of London and prepares for one last amazing encore in the climatic finale of K-ON! THE MOVIE! K-On! The Movie (2011) follows the second season of the popular shojo music series, bringing the tale of the Light Music Club to an apt finale. The school year is almost over, so outspoken Ritsu, shy Mio, adorable Mugi, and ditsy Yui are preparing to graduate. Soon, rehearsals, shopping sprees, and After School Tea Time will be memories. The girls decide to take a graduation trip to London, and insist that Azusa, the sanest member of the club, come with them, even though she's only a junior. Wherever Yui goes, confusion follows, and the challenge of a new language only adds to the problems. Fortunately, Azusa is there to sort things out. The quintet arrives at the wrong hotel, plays at an automated sushi bar in place of another band, and performs at an Anglo-Japanese festival in the park below the Millennium Wheel. Back in Japan, the four seniors express their affection and gratitude to Azusa in a special song. Sweet, but never saccharine, K-On! The Movie brings the adventures of Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Mugi, and Azusa to a nostalgic but upbeat conclusion that will please the adolescent girls who made the series an international hit.

Review : For fans of the series, a dream come true.
Alright, those of you looking for a self-contained anime film will be disappointed this was a project that was obviously made for fans of the series. It's pretty much an episode of the series expanded to an hour and forty-five mins. It contains in-jokes from the series and while there is a plot there's no major conflict. In fact, the opening few minutes makes a joke about the lack of real conflict in the film.

Now, if you are a fan of the series, this is a dream come true. The characters are all there, most side characters get enough screen time that you get to revisit just about everyone. The plot is partially about the London trip which was discussed in the season 2 OVA, but it's also about writing the song that they will sing to their underclassman as they graduate. It's sentimental, sweet and everything you've come to expect from the series. As a bonus, just about every song in the series is in it at some point.

The animation is beautiful, and expands upon...
