Following three high-school delinquents in their quest for musical glory despite having no skill, money, or even a full set of drums, On-Gaku: Our Sound is an Annie Award-nominated adaptation of Hiroyuki Ohashi's
On-Gaku manga that presents a highly original take on the beloved slacker comedy. The award-winning movie has its sights set on a possible Oscar-nom and with GKIDS and Shout! Factory release of the anime film on Blu-Ray+DVD and digital platforms, Anime News Network had the opportunity to interview director Kenji Iwaisawa about On-Gaku: Our Sound's unique, fully hand-drawn animation and the intricacies of translating a soundless music manga into an indie film.
