About K-On!
Yui Hirasawa joins the light music club at Sakuragaoka Girls' High School to keep it from disbanding, and the series follows Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Mugi, and later Azusa through practice sessions, school festivals, and graduation. Kyoto Animation produced 13 episodes that aired April to June 2009 and a 26-episode second season, K-On!!, that aired April to September 2010.
The 2011 film follows the girls to London during their final school days, so it plays best after season 2 even though its story slots in before graduation. Two short bonus episodes sit between the seasons and the film. The Ura-On! DVD shorts are three-minute extras and can be skipped.
Good to know
The film premiered December 3, 2011. Ura-On! (7 shorts, 2009) and Ura-On!! (9 shorts, 2010) are DVD bonus mini episodes and skippable. No new K-On! anime had been announced as of September 2026; the K-On! Shuffle manga follows a different school.
