K-On is a classic in the slice of life genre of anime. But instead – you wanna enjoy something lightweight, free of fan service, tropes or anything else you’d find inappropriate or over the top.Īnd of course – anime characters (girls) are about as cute as it gets… without being too “exaggerated” about it. It’s a light-hearted series that’s nice to watch when you don’t wanna get into anything serious or deep. What separates a show like Hanayamata is – it’s made by Madhouse, and there’s no fan service at all.īut none the less – the series is about a bunch of girls who get together in high school, and perform a Japanese dance called Yasekoi.

Hanayamata is one of those anime we call “cue girls doing cute things.” – similar to shows like Love Live.
