From a beggining i would like to start with that the anime has a great story for a strongly music related genre, with great main character, other characters and a grim mood. This anime stands out of the crowd.
*****************Story******************
The story is quite simple and interesting, a main character who is pretty much bored with life finds his small interest "playing the guitar" from there he meets similiar people, and our main character must find himself from there, what he wants to do.
8/10
****************Characters***************
Every character is diffrent, there are ofcourse some bland characters that have a feeling are there for a ride and thats it, the other are deep with they're motive and feelings. The one thing i love that the characters rarely show they're deep thought to understand them sometimes you must be exited at what they are. Often, i felt that i understood every character, only later to find out more about them.
9/10
**************Sound*****************
Without the doubt one of the best reasons to watch this anime. Personally i'm not a fan of Rock, Metal, hiphop-rock (or how you call it) and acoutstic guitar songs. But this one doesn't really have HARD ROCK or Metal, it has a rock that every person will enjoy because how good the rythm is.
10/10
************Art & Animation*************
This is probably the weakest thing about this anime. How average looking this anime is and has unsuprising animation. But then i somewhat understood that this is the RIGHT tone for this anime, gloomy not only because budget was low (lol) and not because they are playing rock and often we see them at night but because how our life is. The same unique urban city colors that doesn't really impress us that much. This is a cool art if you think about it, it doesn't have that special anime wibe where cliche character talks about inspiration or motivation. It meant to be looked like a life, you rarely see people talk about these things and these people make our life more brighter. In this world we see main character fight against all that opose him (bullie, school, unsuccsess) and in this world he must stand up on his own and fight back without someone saying a word about it.
8/10 (i would put higher but this anime shows it's age)
***************Enjoyment******************
1/4 was kinda not interesting and but at the same time somewhat unique and i wanted to see more of that. At 2/4 it's probably the most interesting part is where all the formation happens, where you finally see main character do something. 3/4 Was beggining to be really boring and felt like im watching anothe cliche anime but thankfully i didn't dropped it. 4/4 Now in this apart where all the fun begins you finally see the barrier and what problems people have to face between each other and how main character has to get though it. And also the last 3 was FREAKINg best MUSIC became so goooooood and CHaracters finally felt like i knew them and this is probably most enjoyable part since these last 3 episodes you can acutally see what this band was acutally fighting for.
9/10
