Beck 01


I think it's safe to say I had already fallen in love with this show by the end of the distinctly American, punkish opening sequence. Good music, excellent style. It's evident the production team did their homework.

The show definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, however. It's quirky, but pretty well grounded in reality. The direction feels more live action, but with distinct anime touches. It's hard to describe, really, but I like the way it works. It's something refreshing and new.

Madhouse is responsible for the production, so the show looks great, of course. It's perhaps not as impressive as some of the studio's previous work, but the style doesn't exactly lend itself to flashy animation. And things definitely sound good in the music department. But that's to be expected. The show's about a band, after all.

This looks to be a real gem.

The Beck-manga is good, haven't seen the anime yet.

This show looks promising from the first episode. Okay, I must say that the English isn't exactly 100% acccurate but more like a Japanese trying to squeeze out the best he can do, but aside from that fact, I just like this show, for the same reason I enjoyed Garden State.

I just loved the first episode of 'Beck'! It was awesome! I stayed up all night to read the manga up to 18th volume, and I hope the anime will be a very long series; long enough to explain all the details and all that good stuff ^_^ Awesome!

Hmm, I've never heard of this anime, it certainly looks good by just the images. Thanks for posting this up.
