Yukio Tanaka (Koyuki) was an ordinary student without any special interests or talents. However one day he saves a dog named BECK which in turn leads to him befriending its master. The owner of the dog Minami Ryusuke is a talented rock guitarist. The story is centralized around Koyuki’s romance and musical development. Koyuki learns to play the guitar and soon joins Ryusuke’s band BECK also known as the Mongolian Chop Squad. Though Koyuki’s guitar talents aren’t anything special he makes up for it with his vocal skills.
This may not be for everyone however I did certainly enjoy it. There aren’t many music genre anime serials out there but of those that are Beck is probably the best. If your an anime fan with some musical background you may appreciate this series and if your preferred instrument happens to be the guitar you will love the guitars featured within this series. If you ain’t a fan of musical instruments it doesn’t matter as by the end of the series you will probably want to take up the guitar lol. Also as a bonus you get hear English in this series. Yes actually English not gibberish or implied English. Beck features the real deal and especially in the first episodes where there are some American tourists who can’t stop saying F@#$.
) will always reminds me of the anime. Felt so real like it was a real experience .. BECK rocks!
