K-On to this date still remains the only Kyoani adapted series that isn't Kadokawa or Key. So I guess I'm wondering how they decided to animate K-On...I had heard somewhere that Naoko Yamada and her team had to fight very hard for K-On to be greenlighted as otherwise Kyoani were going to animate another serious drama series after Clannad After Story, and Yamada thought it would be good to animate something more 'casual'(The first season of K-On did indeed had an kind of Indie look).
They didn't even want K-On! in the first place.

What Yamada and her crew fought for, however, was how they were going to adapt it (K-On! being a fanservice-y Seinen manga). Yamada wanted none of that, and suggested that they make it accessible to even children.
