About Gravitation TV

Here is what Gravitation TV (グラビテーション) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, music and romance anime by Studio DEEN and Ashi Productions (2000). The premise: All Shuichi ever dreamed about was following in the footsteps of his pop idol, Ryuichi Sakuma and the band Nittle Grasper. Together with his best companion Hiro, Shuichi's formed a band called Bad Luck and they've even managed to get signed to a major recording label!

Beyond that: Unfortunately, the studio deadlines are looming and Shuichi still hasn't finished the lyrics for any of the songs. What he needs is a little inspiration... but he's been running a little low in that department lately. While Hiro recommends finding a girlfriend, fate has other things in store for him...

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Tomokazu Seki as Shuuichi Shindou and Kazuhiko Inoue as Eiri Uesugi. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio DEEN and Ashi Productions, which means the visual identity of Gravitation TV follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on comedy, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Tomokazu Seki as Shuuichi Shindou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2000, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
