Summary:

Sakamoto Ryouma and the other rockers rise up and change the world with rock 'n' roll for freedom and justice.
mmmmmm.... Was hoping for something cool.. Since I haven't really seen a bad ass rock related music anime since Beck. Although it's first episode I don't expect it to get any better.

Not a big fan of that. (show less)
