I started Black Heaven after watching that Code Monkey AMV from anime expo 2007.
It's so refreshing an adult main character. No school anime. No vampires, zombies or shinigamis. I became infatuated with this anime, I hope it won't let me down.

When she said Stairway to Heaven I didn't think she meant it literally, like there's a stairway behind the door. LOL

Needed more Led Zeppelin, but I'll look past that. We go from sci-fi space war to slice of life? Definitely more interesting than most anime I have watched lately.

So, so much to like. Having a middle aged protagonist is so refreshing and I really dug the soundtrack.

Did a good job of establishing the lead's middle-aged man angst. He looks like a drowsy mess all the time. I especially like the touch of his wife and son being asleep both when he leaves for work and when he returns. Poor guy isn't even getting to really live with the family that superseded his rockstar dreams.

I expect the slightly highlighted girl in the concert flashback was the wife, i.e. she was a fan of his, so I'm interested how she feels about his past in the present day. She was trying to throw away his guitar.

A happy family life is worth sacrificing your dreams for, yet this is far away from the reality we were shown here. It literally killed his soul, but an angel appeared and showed him heaven.

Pretty neat start overall.

Cue Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.

Lol he thought he was getting laid, but got something better.

Personally, I think it's a fail if you marry someone who would disrespect your passions like that. That not only shows that they don't understand you on a fundamental level but also that they're quite inconsiderate.

I'm not one for heavy metal music but this first episode OST/OP/ED still sounded good to my naive ears. I enjoyed the main character because he is refreshing since a lot of anime has a teenage protagonist and some elements of fantasy or sci-fi. They did a really good job painting the story of Ouji in one episode. I'm excited to see where this goes.
