EPISODE REVIEWS
A perfect introduction. Kaoru's lonely transfer student life shifts when he discovers Sentarō drumming to Moanin' in that basement. The moment jazz hits his classical ears, everything changes. Watanabe masterfully sets up a friendship built on rhythm and soul. Hooked instantly.
Sentaro's energy is strong and a bit intimidating at first. The jazz music stands out and drives the scene. It's worth checking out for the fresh setting and relatable characters.
The starting of Sentaro and Nishimi felt natural yet funny to watch. The jazz, I know it must be the starter of something even much bigger later on in this anime. I BET two of them will make such a great combo. Go go pianist x drummer bromace! 😎
