Ghost in the form of J-drama. A bit slow initially. Not bad writing but the execution is B-grade-ish.

Comedy of a shy guitarist who joins a band and struggles with anxiety. Absurd delivery. Lacks musician jokes but entertaining and relatable.

Lack of hockey action or any appreciation for it. Doesn’t work as a slice-of-life anime either. Lost opportunity.
