I've only checked out the first 2 episodes. Based on what the story is supposed to be and what I saw, I thought the concept of a guy suffering through every day life and reliving his past as a rocker to save the universe was pretty lame. You have this guy suffering what seems to be a midlife crisis and holding on to the one thing that made him happy which was his "axe" (electric guitar). That's the main theme that I saw. Forget about the women from outer space or that he's called the "Messiah" (savior). All I see was a burned out washup of a man trying to live in the past. When you base an anime to this theme, expect a mechanical story to follow. For now, I'll leave it at Unevaluated until I finish this series.
Updated: March 31, 2006 I've finished the series and I have to say I gotta eat my words from the last review. I guess it was just the fact that a lot of the story actually develops along the way. At first it didn't stimulate me because I had a preconception that the anime was nothing more that some illogical farce. I have to say that I'm glad I'm wrong. The story progresses as that middle aged "rocker" reunites with his old band mates and relive their past. From that point, even more problems occur, but in the meantime the comedy was keeping the story leveled. I also based my rating from the music. It just works in this series. I got hooked and wanted to see the entire thing again (well maybe except the first few episodes). Last updated Friday, March 31 2006. Created Thursday, March 09 2006. | ||||||||

Drama : Med Action : Low Comedy : Med SciFi : High Ecchi : Med Damn I've passed this video about 20 times because of the Cover. What IDIOTS designed the OP and the DVD Menu. This anime is very funny and is on scale with DNA or Battle Programmer Shirase. Oji is not too whiny and his family is a perfect little Slice of Life for an Aging rock star. The music is good and isn't too important or dominating in the anime. If you like Slice of Life Comedies, you'll probably enjoy this. Well except it has interstellar spaceships :) Edit : Finished this. This should be a buy except for the above issues. I loved it. Even the end when they bring out the high drama. Very nice. Damn People who designed the OP! Only 2 major issues. The Watanabe one (You will know if you watch this) and where in the heck did all those people come from in 30 mins. I liked his wife when her hair was all done up! Last updated Thursday, February 24 2005. Created Thursday, February 03 2005. | ||||||||
