And that is:
[LONG POST AHEAD IM SO SORRY SKIP IF YOU WANT]
The anime Given
Or the manga or both.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but I'M WAITING FOR THE SUPPOSED LAST EPISODE so here I go.
First off, I have claimed Sato Mafuyu
As my son. I want to see him be happy. I want to see him grow.
Now that we've established who my ultimate boi is, let's talk about what the heck this anime is all about. Not talking abt the story because hahaha spoiler lol.
IT IS AN ANIME ABOUT A BAND obv
As referenced by this picture, from background music to the actual music, if you like rock or just like listen to some awesome guitar then this is for you.
Dude with the long hair
NAKAYAMA HARUKI is their godsend bassist and leader. He's honestly really good. I CAN'T EVEN AND HIS LONG HAIR IS TO DIE FOR OMFG. I CAN'T WITH HIS LONG HAIR AND HIS LONG FINGER PLAYING THE BASS OKAY. He's a really kind person. I'm not even going to start about that else I cry. He's understanding and a he's--- **sobs really hard** gorgeous both inside and out. (This is a Trivia get over it not really a spoiler) He's also a grad student (god, I wish that was me had I earn enough money hays) studying film and I absolutely LOVE HIM. We must protecc but *sobs*
HOT DUDE WITH PIERCINGS
This is Kaji Akihiko
He's the MULTI-TALENTED DRUMMER of their band.
HE'S A FREAKING PRODIGY I CAN'T EVEN---
He can play the VIOLIN aside from the Drums. IT'S BEEN HINTED THAT IN THE MANGA THAT HE CAN PLAY OTHER INSTRUMENTS AS WELL And he's--A second year music major studying in Haruki's university. He's like the rough kinda Dad/big brother figure.
NEXT IS OMFG
UENOYAMA RITSUKA
I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS BOI. HE'S A GODAMN TALENTED GUITARIST, A FUCKINH PRODIGY AND HE'S SO FUCKING PURE I CRIE EVERYTIME
He's so pure. So so so so pure. He's kinda like a tsundere but a boyish ousama kinda version. You'll understand when you watch the anime or read the manga. Both are good.
He's goes to the same high school as my son but he's in a different class.
AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST MY SON
MY SAD SON whom I want to proteccc so much but I can't because *sobs*
He's their - I think he's their rhythm guitar and Uenoyama is their lead guitar obv, and THE BANDS FUCKING VOCALIST
The first time I watched the episode where he sang AND MIND YOU HE DIDN'T EVEN SING A SONG WITH LYRICS HE JUST STRAIGHT UP SANG 'LALALALA' I WAS FUCKING BLOWN AWAY
This beautiful person can project all his feelings into his voice. It's angelic, pretty and it sweeps you off your feet. It can make time stop and you just feel. He's still learning the ropes of playing the guitar but he's bound to be really good soon. He's got a fast grasp at music.
Akihiko called his voice, "screaming without actually screaming" I'm honestly screaming with him tbh.
He's just someone I'd want to put in a blanket roll and nurse until he's okay again.
He's so sad and empty and yet so alive I don't even know how that can be.
I love this anime so much. Oh and it's Shounen-Ai, it's boy's love through and through. It's so painfully wholesome.
Ah. I'm not going to put links for a sample of their songs here because I believe ya'll should check this out for yourselves
ANYWAY IM DONE FOR NOW I'M GONNA WATCH THE NEXT EP IT'S HERE OMFG--
