k-ON had a negative reputation at first, from people thinking it was just using moe as a crutch, like people thought it was ruining anime. But later opinions of anime have been very positive. As people realized that the director had not merely adapted source material, but improved on it, and did itself well, a generally fun show. You probably could guess what it is about more from the OP, as being about a high school light music club.
The show also has its fair share of good music, spread over its two seasons, and movie.

Yeah I figured it was about a high school girl band. The music sounds really cool maybe I'll check it out one day.
I just hope it doesn't have any weird pedophile characters hanging around the high school girls like the male teacher in Azumanga Daioh. That kind of crap is one of the reasons why I don't like most Japanese animation.

Sometimes the cutest thing can be the most evil, and terrifying.
I am really fond of this particular theme, because it goes through a sort of feeling of uneasiness, while starting to peel away at the freakiness that is Harime Nui.

I think there's actually a Japanese word for it but I forget what it is. It's when a girl or woman pretends to be cute, naive, and ditzy all the time and speaks in a silly childish voice to kind of hide the fact that she's very clever and evil.
Kind of like Yuri, the youngest of the Kinugawa Sisters in the game Way of the Samurai 4. She's a prime example of that Japanese archetype.
Edit: Where I live it's just called being "country sneaky" lol.

Now THAT is some evil cuteness! You have humbled me good sir.
In Sailor Moon the two "cutest" villains were Mimet and Sailior Iron Mouse.
Mimet was especially nasty. She ripped the brakes out of Eudial's car and caused her to crash off a cliff and die just so she could take over her job as leader of the Witches 5.
