Synopsis

Ryouma Sakamoto wants everyone to know about his passion for rock 'n' roll, so he roams around town with his electric guitar willing to show anyone he encounters that he's just as skilled as the famous Shinsengumi stars they admire. Unfortunately, Japan doesn't allow anything other than that group's Heaven's Songs, for writing or performing different types of music is forbidden and can lead to harsh consequences.

Agitated by these strict rules and brainwashing, Ryouma does everything he can to show people that the music he loves will bring them the freedom they deserve. Along with his bandmates Shinsaku Takasugi and Kogoru Katsura, Ryouma works hard to find places for his rock 'n' roll group to perform. Refusing to back down until their music is accepted in Japan, the trio begin to realize that there's more to their passion than they had thought.

If you feel like watching something short with lots of handsome guys playing music and losing their tops, this is your anime. Fairly enjoyable overall though I wished they added more songs and character movements during their performances, it tends to get extremely boring when each episode shows them moving and singing to the same thing over and over.

The ending however got me a little confused, the American dude appearing? Was there going to be a Season 2? Or was ...

Bakumatsu Rock was a shot in the dark. A leap of faith. A risk-taker. Too bad they were all just, ultimately, a well-thought intention.

Bakumatsu Rock differs a bit from its peers within Bishounen realm, in the way that this particular anime series tries to blend historical element, action, music, fantasy, and fan service for females and cook it as one cohesive hotpot for the audience to enjoy. I personally had a good feeling that the scientists at Studio Deen had understood exactly the risk and the ridiculousness the story they tried to bring: re-telling the legends of real-life rebels and Shinsengumi as idols as they ...

Short/fast review

Do you like your logic in your anime? Well there are none in this one. Till about episode 8 with out picking small logic problems, you can still watch this anime using your brain. But wait till you reach point when everything starts happening at random. Then you need to turn of your brain and don't even try to understand what is going on, why and how. Even ignoring all music/magic rules (if there was any), everything else made no sense. Its like 10 people came in one room and tried to put everything they could think about plot and put it in ...
