Sakamichi no Apollon - Trailer

Trailer for the new anime TV series by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo).

Synopsis:
Nishimi Kaoru has moved from city to city and school to school because of his father's job. So the first day at his new school was just routine for him. Being intellectual and the new transfer student, he has always been seen as an outcast and all Kaoru had to do was bare it until the next time he moved. But things were slightly different this time. First, he started to get close to the class president, Mukae Ritsuko, and, secondly, unlikely as it seemed, grew closer to Kawabuchi Sentaro. Sentaro was infamous for getting into fights, skipping class and was an overall bad boy. Strangely enough, the three of them find common ground in music, namely jazz, and Kaoru finds himself actually enjoying the new town.

If the whole series was drum solos, I would still love it.

I like the name of this series, and I know what they mean by, "Kids on the Slope." Growing up, becoming yourself, reaching the peak of the slope and entering in to adulthood! I think it's beautiful, and knowing it's directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, and composed by Yoko Kanno makes it more beautiful! I think this is going to be an anime to remember... for a long, long time...

@StarrySkykes It's win win for everyone, I guess. lol But... Shinichiro + Yoko Kanno and Jazz = Insta-Win!

[cyshtoph]

@Misdreavius That's what I fear. Crap like Guilty Crown gets to be on noitaminA with 26 episodes while almost every other great show there, if not actually every, is getting only one season. Are those guys mental or what? -_-

I smell doujinshi.
