Synopsis

Ren Nanahoshi has been chasing a certain thrill he once experienced at a live festival when he was a child. Now, as a first-year university student, he avoids making friends and practices singing by himself, hoping to find that adrenaline once more. A fateful encounter at a karaoke bar allows Nanahoshi to meet Yuuto Goryou and Wataru Matoba—both of whom are impressed by his voice. The two have been searching for band members, and they want Nanahoshi to be their vocalist.

Nanahoshi initially rejects their constant pestering but relents after attending their live show and performing alongside them. Joined by the carefree Rio Kikyou and passionate Banri Shiroishi, the five boys form "Argonavis" and set their sights on headlining the Destiny Rock Festival. As they begin to work together as a band, they come across the trials and tribulations that come with pursuing stardom.

I'm someone who is really generous in giving grades to anime that I have watched. For this anime:

Story: 9
Character: 9
Art: 8
Enjoyment: 9

I love musical-themed anime, so obviously I love this one as well. I love listening to bands plus the songs they used and their vocals, I love them all.

I would have rated this 10 if the ending was satisfactory, for me at least. It would have been better if they added few more episodes, like few other anime do, have like a summary or what will happen to them in the future.

First of all I need to tell that I'm a follower of the Argonavis franchise, so thats can make my opinion a little blursted about this anime. However there are some points where I need to focus on.

At the beginning, the story focuses on the origin of the main band, which was a good idea indeed, but the way they portrayed it was, in my opinion may I say that I found it a bit rushed? The same goes for when they made the songs, I feel it was more fast that I would like.

Another point it's that the way that's was shown the feeling ...

Mixed Feelings

First things first: I really don't know anything about bandori. Like, sure, it's big music franchise, but apart from that - literally nothing at all. Whatever could be gathered from any other source that exists out there... great, probably. For me though, there's only this anime.

It's unfortunate that if I have to sum it up in one word, that word is "unfortunate". I don't mind uncommon methods, like the CG we had here for pretty much the whole series: personally I'm used to it, and indeed considering the genre it just fits. Granted, at times it could have been better, there were moments where it ... felt awkward, but overall it was perfectly fine. The designs were also great: settings as well as the characters, and even the smaller details. The music, the songs are obviously great, with the energy and emotions one would expect, given what the franchise is. But great music and easy-on-the-eyes characters can only carry a series so far...

And that's where the negatives come in. The characters sure look great, but I struggled to discover much (if anything at all) in most of them beyond that. They just feel more like empty husks that have some basic "programming" to act out, a generic personality and/or issue or problem to move them forward, but it just doesn't feel organic. They aren't "bad" per se - if anything, they simply lack the complexity to be. I couldn't really sense many or strong connections - between them or between myself and any one of them. Sadly, the story is the same: weak, lukewarm, somewhat haphazard, a bit of a hodgepodge that doesn't really know which way to go, and eventually doesn't really go anywhere. A few huge coincidences change the flow, maybe the direction, but for the most part, that's just it: going with the flow. I'm usually one of those people who are really emotionally affected by the story they watch unfold, who can literally laugh and cry together with the characters and worry themselves to death over them. Here I could barely be bothered enough to care. Songs popping up out of nowhere that we never even hear mentioned being worked on, and that's just not the way to make anything believable - yet here it happens more often than not. And while those songs themselves aren't bad in any sense of he word, not seeing them being "born" makes them, makes the whole "story" hard to connect to. Then again, this and the coincidences aren't the only two things that can jolt you out of your suspension of disbelief: there are several more cartwheels and backflips in logic that honestly could have been handled better with little (if any) more effort.

You might as well go straight for Argonavis's or Gyroaxia's music on whatever music platform you prefer, that's most of the value here. The characters and the story are just too weak to be the source of much enjoyment; and while the visuals aren't bad, they aren't anything to write home about either. Not a glimpse of fanservice in sight anywhere, so you can't even look forward to that. It's just unfortunate, because as strong as the music is, this series could have been much better with a little more effort in writing and directing.
