Boys Be…

I would say, is a great anime for guys like me. Its story is about how guys developed into mature men. How they have handled the stress of balancing school works with their love life, their childhood infatuations and also the challenges in growing up and urging testosterones. I can’t forget when I watched it on ANIMAX.. whoah! The first episode blew me off. The soundtrack was perfectly jived the drama and funny stuff in the story, especially when the quotes that were shown every episode. So Perfect. That was 8 years ago. Time flew so fast. And still, I get Goosebumps whenever I hear their soundtrack.
