Synopsis

As luck would have it, on her first day at Holbein Entertainment Co., Miki Ishimoto is tasked with managing a brand new idol group! A recent college graduate, Ishimoto is eager to begin her career in the industry. However, her department's responsibility is...statues?!

The statues in question are the Sekkou Boys, or "The Rockies," a boy band comprised of four Greco-Roman sculptures: St. George, Mars, Hermes, and Medici. These four busts are new to the entertainment scene, and it is up to Miki to ensure the Rockies' prosperity in the idol world. But will they be a stone-cold success? Or will Miki's management prove to be a rocky start to stardom?

When it comes to Idol Anime, I usually gravitate towards shows that at least try to shake up the standard formula or try something different with the established genre. I think I have Sekkou Boys to thank for moulding me into that sort of person, having watched it many years ago and writing this review upon a rewatch.

Sekko Boys' main draw lies in its comedic value. The show is very consistently well written and the jokes revolving around the fact that the idols are actually sculptures do work perfectly well and simply can't work if the idols were regular people, all without being too over-reliant ...

I rarely write reviews so excuse me if this is slightly incoherent, and/or awkward.

Sekkou Boys was something I watched a while ago, I stumbled across it out of nowhere during my idol phase, and thought "Why the hell not?" It isn't perfect, and there's a lot I could say about why it's not. However, there's a certain charm to Sekkou Boys which I think is what makes it at enjoyable.

The episodes are short, the humour is pleasant. It's a pick-me-up show in all honesty, I would watch an episode or two after a long day and it was nice. Something I didn't have ...

Mixed Feelings
Okay, so this was a fine, short comedy. If you find the premise entertaining enough along with the same constant visual gags, for 12 around-eight minute long episodes, then this will be good for you.

STORY: 5 / 10
Kind of poor, it’s a simple comedy that’s mostly short, episodic stories following the same overarching plot line that’s pretty basic, but overall entertaining.

ART: 4 / 10
Not really that good, minus the actual statues themselves. Pretty basic and I didn’t find it very visually appealing other then the sight gags. Not really terrible, felt like super basic anime art, nothing terrible but not memorable either.

SOUND: 4 ...
