Review of Detroit Metal City

This has to be one of the first series that actually made me crack myself laughing. The show has a lot of dark humor in it, if it's your thing give it a try, doesn't matter if you even don't like death metal. I think the site synopsis isn't very clear so I'll give it a shot. The story focuses on Souichi Negishi, a professional guitar player who after graduating from college I guess decides he wants to work on music, and his songs are all romantic pop, quite mellow innocent love music so he has this dream of having a bands like his heros fromFrance or Sweden, can't remember... Yeah, it never happens, instead he joins a death metal band as frontman singer/songwriter, why? He needed the money I guess, so he starts this project which has just signed a record deal named Detroit Metal City (DMC).

The story is quite simple, you could say episodic, Negishi lives this crazy rockstar life but he isn't very proud of it, also he hides his identity from fans and friends so at times it makes him lose it, we see a lot from his disgrace also trying to impress a girl who basically hates metal bands. The art/animation is very good, very decent.
The sound is one of the highlights, the music and the voices play an important role in DMC. The characters are nothing special, also there's no development but actually the story doesn't need it. As I wrote earlier, this show will make you crack laughing take my word. Overall, it's very good, short length, the only thing I need to warn is there are some adult subjects.
