Gravitation

Young love and pop music are the themes of this yao-style anime series about a musician name Shuichi and his dreams of taking his band, Bad Luck, to the top of the Jpop charts. Suffering from writer’s block over lyrics for a new song, Shuichi takes his band mate Hiro’s advice and goes out looking for a girl to ease his tension. What he finds, though, is something he never bargained for, romance in the form of a famous novelist named Eiri Yuki. The story is  just unpredictable enough to keep you guessing what Shuichi will do next, but the endless repetition of Bad Luck’s hit song (at least through the first half dozen episodes) may drive you crazy.
