Sakamichi no Apollon (2012)

I just finished “Kids on the Slope”, a one season, twelve episode anime set in 1967/68 in a high school setting. The story is tied together by Jazz, which the protagonists play in a record shop's basement in their spare time.

The story progresses nicely, has a good story arc and a very satisfying end. It captures the fabric of life without too much high school drama.

Given the comparatively short duration, it’s remarkable how it delivers a heart-warming story with quite a few ups and downs.

I enjoyed it tremendously.
