Sakamichi no Apollon Review

Sakamichi no Apollon (or Kids on the Slope) is about a boy named Kaoru and how he moved alone to a new city because of his fathers job. Kaoru is not really the social type and normally keeps to himself. He then meets Sentaro, who is the complete opposite of Kaoru. They become friends and Kaoru learns about the fun of playing jazz. He decides to play jazz music after hearing Sentaro play the drums. He discovers how much fun it is to play with Sentaro. 

There's also Ritsuko, who is the daughter of the man who runs a record store. She and Sentaro have been friends for a very long time. 

This anime is a romance, music, drama, as well as a slice of life. This show also really pulls at the heart strings. 

It had me really attached to the characters. It also had me cry during horrible situations and during the makeup of the horrible situation. 

After finishing this show I had the sudden urge to listen to a ton of jazz music. 

Overall this anime is really good. I would highly recommend watching this. 

I would rate this a 10/10. 

As of today Sakamichi no Apollon has one season with 12 episodes.
