Why it is worth watching
I'd recommend it for its music, its concerts and how well it conveys how exciting and how uncomfortable it is to start your first band.

It's a good fit if you're looking for rock, adolescence, friendship and growth without idealizing the industry.
What sets it apart from other musical anime is the unglamorous nature of the path: Koyuki discovers his voice between clumsy rehearsals, jobs, small venues and a band that can break up before taking off.
