Kaikan Phrase (TV) Hot

Well, the anime is pretty good though it deviates from it's original plot and what I would call a "feel" of an anime. Basically in the begining, there's this kind of broken bad boy type which took up a hobby of being in a band. We see them struggle to stay as a band and then make it into the music industry and face his rich and powerful brother that despises him. Typical anime goodness till we hit the character development.

All of a sudden we see the typical cold main guy all of a sudden warm up to this high school girl without much develpment. I can take him picking up her poems and making them into lyrics and then suddenly being protective of her. She sort of make the band seem less 'close' as they all picked up different hobbies after they became famous. This happening AFTER they spend nearly 35 episodes trying to be close to one another...which make the ending seem pointless. Anyways I would rater the beginning a 5+ but the end a 2-3.

I feel a bit lenient so I'll give it a 4. First thing you should know : I am surprised to see this anime in a yaoi site. So beware : there is no such thing in this anime as far as I have watch (meaning until episode 36). For music lovers over there : its good to actually have a show on how its done. However the music is...not so good. I thought that PERHAPS if I kept listening to it I'd love it but...no. It just became bearable. For not so much music lovers, this an interesting anime for the idea more than for watching it develop through 40+ episodes. The manga seems more interesting in many aspects BUT this is mainly about a pretty naive heterosexual relationship (on top of the making of a japanese rock boys band) : the type where the guy ALWAYS arrives at the nick of the time to save the damsel from harm.
