Sakamichi no Apollon

It's an awesome anime. I actually came across Sakamichi no Apollon ( Kids on Slope ) by coincidence :) I was pestering my sister to watch this cus' the are seems interesting. Kept insisting her to watch and in the end she gave in. Wow, this anime is really awesome. Like VERY AWESOME. It's an anime about jazz music :D So wonderful. I'm not a real big fan nor I know well about jazz, but this anime makes me love jazz! All those jazz music introduced were phenomenal. They modified it a lil' bit but it was nice. Jazz actually lead to one's friendship and love. The jamming scene made me go high every time without fail. Here's a synopsis about Sakamichi no Apollon:

Until then, Kaoru was an honor roll student who tended to keep to himself, but meeting notorious bad boy Sentaro Kawabuchi starts to change him. Through his devil-may-care classmate, Kaoru learns the attractions of jazz and finds the first person he can call a “friend.” He also discovers how much fun it is to play music with a pal.

Other characters include Sentaro's kind childhood chum, Ritsuko, who is the daughter of a record shop owner; the mysterious upperclassman, Yurika; and Brother Jun, the much-admired leader among their peers.
