Three broke delinquents with no drums, no skill, and nothing to lose decide they're going to be a band, and the movie spends 90 minutes proving they might actually be right. The animation moves like doodling in a notebook come alive, each frame a choice rather than a necessity, and the comedy lands in the spaces between dialogue where lesser movies would add nothing. Shintaro Sakamoto's performance pulls the whole thing into a register of deadpan sincerity that makes their impossible dream feel like the most natural thing in the world, and by the time the guitars hit, you understand why someone would animate an entire film alone just to nail this specific feeling of four friends on the edge of something stupid and perfect.

Three feared high school delinquents, bored with the pointless fights that used to give them a thrill, decide on a whim to start a rock band. Never mind that they have no skill, no money, and not even a complete drum set between them. Kenji takes up the bass, Oota the guitar, and Asakura the drums, and their first session goes far better than any of them expected. Their goals are simple: impress Aya, their only friend, steer clear of a rival gang, and above all, play. What unfolds is a lo-fi comedy about friendship and discovering music. The humor lands in awkward silences and deadpan reactions. The music builds from nothing into something that actually matters, heading toward the boys' first live performance. It's messy, funny, and genuinely heart-felt.
