Shuichi
Shindou wants to make a famous band. He works on his band, hoping to get
a chance in the public eye, with nothing on his mind but his fame and musical
ambitions. However, one fateful night when Shuichi is working on song lyrics,
his paper with his lyrics gets blown away from him, and a stranger picks
them up.
The man
is Yuki, a famous romance novelist who tells Shuichi that his writing skills
are grade school level. From that moment on, Shuichi is determined to find
Yuki and have him explain his rudeness... he just doesn't realize that
it was love at first sight for him. When Shuichi finally finds Yuki, it's
a journey of obstacles, frightening experiences and haunting pasts trying
to keep them apart. But, it's just the gravitation of fate and love that
always pulls these lovers back together everytime. |
Review:
This "review"show
be taken like grain of salt. For one thing I've only seen only episode
and number two, I'm am far and away from the target audience of this, being
a male who is not gay. The first thing that I noticed about his is
the use of live action in some backgrounds and establishing shots.
While interesting, I'm not too sure I'd like to see more of it.
I'm sorry, but this show has far too many infeminite men for my liking.
Ai Orikasa (who plays Quarte in Gundam Wing) plays Tohma Seguchi (bottom
center) who looks just like Quarte. I'd have to say my favorite character
is the manager Sakano (bottom right) who seems to act like he's SD even
though he isn't, like an escape fom Excel Saga or Digi Chart.
If you were to make a spin-off of this show I'd say Sakano, or hell just
make a DVD with everything Sakano does in the show and I'll he happy.
As for
the rest of the show, the behind the music part is somewhat interesting,
but I just can't get past the relationship part. The problem is not that
their gay, it's just I don't really care for these characters. Way
to infeminite for my taste in anime. Don't look for any updates to
this review. |
