Will be good. *u*


Title: RAINBOW 二舎六房の七人, Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Historical
Airs: 04/06 24:59
Animation Studio: Madhouse
Summary from MangaUpdates:
Six minors (16 or 17 years) answering to the nicknames of Joe, Mario, Suppon, Baremoto, Biceps, and Cauliflower are put into a reformatory for offences such as aggravated assault, swindling, flight, etc. Their stay in hell begins immediately. Accomodated by a doctor pedophile, they are placed under the watch of a despotic and brutal crew. Cellmates with a certain Sakuragi (called Anchan), the tension rises between the band of buddies and their new "friend." A brawl breaks out, and our six prisoners are done rossés by the mysterious young man, thanks to his boxing talent.
The story will not only follow the lives of these seven characters surviving in their hellish environment, but also their disillusions due to the rejection by the outside world and by their close relations. This is about the extraodinary and invincible friendships between these young men.
Kenn's Comment: Haven't read the manga myself, but it won the 2006 Shogakukan manga award.  It's only got good reviews from what I'm reading, and Madhouse is behind the project. I'd have to say that Madhouse is one of the top animators, along with BONES and a few other groups. It's definitely not something children should be watching though, since MangaUpdates has the mature tag on it. Definitely looking forward to it.
