Rock is a story of grief and hope, and this ONA proves it by following four completely different bands discovering what that means in real time. Pink Flag carries the weight of personal trauma into every song. Haru no Juujika screams like they're trying to outrun something. Bluebird plays like they're saying goodbye to a version of themselves that doesn't exist anymore. System of Romance makes you feel something you can't name. The music here isn't window dressing for a story about music, the music IS the story, and by episode four, you'll understand why each of these bands needed to exist exactly as they do.
