While admitedly Gravitation is a good series, it's really only mediocre compared to its manga parent. The writers took a twelve-volume manga and smashed it down into a thirteen-episode anime series. The artwork is beautiful, the songs are great, the characters are just as engaging as in the original, but the problem is how much of the story has been cut from this masterpiece manga series.

Shuichi Shindou and his friend Hiro Nakano have just hit their big break and are an up-and-coming band (named Bad Luck) who are trying to finish their first album for their debut concert. While searching for ideas in the park Shuichi's song is blown away and he meets famed author Eiri Yuki, who insults his song, causing Shuichi to throw a fit and write an even better song just to show the writer (who at the time he doesn't know is famous) up.

It seems that the writers have traded story and art for music, but even that is rather lack-luster as in the thirteen episodes Bad Luck has only three songs features, and their rivals Nittle Grasper have perhaps one or two. Even still, the comedy and romance have stayed in tact and it's a nice anime to take a day to watch and perhaps get yourself in the mood to read the daunting twelve-volume manga that accompanies it.
