Anime Beck

[Taken from Animenfo.com]

Tanaka Yukio, whose nickname was Koyuki, was an ordinary student who didn’t have special interests or specialties. One day, because he helped a strange dog named “BECK”, he got to know the dog’s master.

He used to think of a pop star “Kuniyoshi Chiemi” who came from Okinawa as the best artist ever. However, the shocking meeting with a charismatic band group, “Dying Bride”, something in his life began to change.

One thing that I like about this anime is the music...really good. And people who have their own bands, would enjoy this anime. Your typcial, music, comedy anime.

The art is decent, and on the opening scenes, the lipsynch of the song is surprisingly good. I advice you all to check this anime out!

Dying Bride... heh heh, vowel shifts strike again (Dying Breed is, of course, the real name! I've been reading the manga for this one a while now (up to volume 19, volume 20 is out in Japan!) Great manga with a message about sellout musicians, They're horrible!

Thoughts so far, I like the music of the series, and if the sample of DyBre's music is indicative of what we're going to hear from Beck themselves? Oh yeah, bring the Rock! This is another series that's got me holding a high standard. I'm really hoping for that message from the manga to come through.

I really loved Beck episode 01. "What the **** are you doing to my car?!" XDD! Also, Koyuki sort of looks like Shinji.

Both the openings and endings were great, and I love the animation! This is definitely on my watch list.

 

I really enjoyed reading the manga and I'm glad the anime turned out decent.
The opening is catchy and fun! X3
I approve! =D

 

I love the Dying Breed music, espesally the one that they played during the opening credits. I probably would have liked to see more interation with Koyuki and Maho, but i think we finally got the gerneral idea of how they were getting on.
The ending did seem a little quick, that something that could have probably been done better. All the lose ends just seemed to get themselves rapped up all of a suden in the end, which i don't think worked here.

 

Only watched a few eps of this. The animation is obviously the best quality, and well the music is not my taste, but you can tell its well done. I dont know how accurate it is but it seems to give a realy good impressian of the Nihon/Amerika culture in a big Japanese city. OK, I know its anime but its got a lot of realism in it I thought. very intresting if you are learning Japanese and u are interested in slang and casual speech, idioms etc. Character design is excellent too.

On the down side the attemts at doing American accents make my toes curl, but maybe its their way of getting their own back on all those bad American dubs. It realy wold have been excelent if they had got real Americans to play those parts - I mean its not as if there aren't plenty in Japan who can speak good enough Japanese to do it. Of course you can so not see the Japanese doing that.

One of the best recent terebi anime in my opinion, even tho not my personal favourite. This style of anime just gets better and better.

 

I have yet to watch the end of the anime. Waiting for the dub releases. Should be by the and of January.

The manga is good though. Thus far 11 volumes released soon.

I have read past that. It's really addicting.

 

Agreed. I am caught up to the scans.

It gets way good after London. Although it is slowly coming out which I should complain. I have already checked out the raws.

If you want to know where to get...*coughs* send me a PM.

I think I have watched 18 episodes of the Anime. Just need 6 more. Which is the last 2 dvds.

 

I need to check back on that beatles song.

Was it in the anime? I think I remember it but I forget where.
