Daily Obscure/Underrated Anime Recommendations Number Sixty-Four
Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope)
(Story: The series follows Kaoru Nishimi, an introverted high school student who discovers jazz music through his friendship with his delinquent classmate Sentarō Kawabuchi.)
(Genre: Coming-of-Age, Romance, Slice of Life, Drama)
(Released 2012, 12 episodes, PG-13)
(Notes: Surprised this one is as underrated as it is. It's real nice and cozy and the jazz is great. It's a nice one to chill out to despite some of the more dramatic moments. The characters are likeable as well. And yes, this is another MAPPA one. But Tezuka Productions also worked on it. Y'know , the same studio behind Dororo, Quintessential Quintuplets, and the classics Black Jack and Astro Boy. And more absolute bops as OP and ED songs?? Must be my birthday.)
