It’s time go back to the swinging sixties as we join Kaoru and Sentaro in Kids on the Slope, but is it a worthwhile performance or does it slope down hill? Find out in our DVD Review of Kids on the Slope – The Complete Series.
Synopsis:
It’s the summer of 1966 and high school freshman Kaoru Nishimi is struggling to adjust to the latest of many moves in his young life, this time to his uncle’s home in the seaside town of Kyushu.

This time he’ll meet friends who will change his life forever, and he’ll discover a new passion, one that grabs his heart and rocks him to his very soul. It’s music. A beat. A whole new way of looking at life. It’s called jazz, and together with bad boy Sentaro and music store girl Ritsuko, they’re going to follow their muse to wherever their music takes them!
