I think it's safe to say I had already fallen in love with this show by the end of the distinctly American, punkish opening sequence. Good music, excellent style. It's evident the production team did their homework.
The show definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, however. It's quirky, but pretty well grounded in reality. The direction feels more live action, but with distinct anime touches. It's hard to describe, really, but I like the way it works. It's something refreshing and new.
Madhouse is responsible for the production, so the show looks great, of course. It's perhaps not as impressive as some of the studio's previous work, but the style doesn't exactly lend itself to flashy animation. And things definitely sound good in the music department. But that's to be expected. The show's about a band, after all.
This looks to be a real gem.
