good, but not good enough

Warning: Spoilers
Story: a story about bunch of Japanese teenager make their way to the top as a rock band. unfortunately for them, they make a wrong enemy in the music industries, which make their way narrow and steep. reality bites. talent alone is not enough.. persistence and perseverance are needed. they have to deal with many daily issues like money, school, love life, society acknowledgement, and even personality issue between band members, etc. only their deep passion in music could get them there.

thru the obstacle and challenge, better they become as a band, and take them a long way... even a gig in America!

a common story for a regular rock band :)

dislike :

1. the music don't live up to my expectation, mediocre... even quality of the vocalist is so-so (which described to have a very stunning voice). the rap music? argggh.. save me please... actually, the music is not bad.. i kinda like most of it. but (once again) just not good enough to live my expectation... as a very talented rock band. not ROCK'IN enough. ruins the magic of the manga, i think it's better if the manga is left alone without the anime :D

2. err yea, the English voice actor is VERY BAD.... so flat... there's no soul in it...

likes:

1. the story is about rock music in a real world, no magic/ hocus-pocus music skill. not your average robot/fighting/magic anime

2. have a true passion of the rock music

3. the author have a good music knowledge, to bring you a good experience of a regular band's life

but overall, i think it's a good anime, worth your time :)
