has anyone else seen any of the anime Beck? Its about a group of kids who wanna start a rock band, with an awesome soundtrack.

I haven't seen it, but it looks awesome. =O I'll have to look into it sometime soon.

I wanna see it, badly! my comp is too slow to dowload any fansubs.-_- *caugh* can somebody help me out? *caugh*

beck?.........hhhhhhhmmmmm. it sound like its based from a true story.

There's a lot of English in the show, much of which is unintentionally hilarious.

I like it a lot, though.

nope

yeah, the english in it is pretty funny, i'm trying to get my hands on the manga after seeing up to ep 21, because its only a 26 ep series, apparently the manga has alot more stuff in it

Can anybody give us a rundown on content? Everybody's raving about Beck, and I'm curious if the content is going to keep me from liking this one?

Ok, theres actually very little in the way of bad content in the anime, though theres 1 (or 2) scene's with brief nudity (2 charachters go swimming naked in a pool), umm, though there is infrequent swearing, usually in english throught the anime, (which is a mixture of japanese and japanese-spoken english). Thats about all the negative content i can think of just now.

The anime itself has a great soundtrack, a good solid storyline, with charachters that you really get attached to, and who get alot of good story development. It was one of those animes that leave you sad when its over, because of the quality of the show.

Of what gender are the two people who swim naked? Is it intended to be sexual?

ive got the 1st few eps sitting around and wanting to be watched. its definately on my to-do list.

its the main male char & one of his love interests, so there is some chemistry between them in the scene, but they don't do anything, aside from talking and stuff. its more like a character relationship development thing (the scene is a pretty important turning point in the relationship between them), and its at night so its dark.

I've seen some of the anime and read a fair amount of the manga, and the music is actually better on paper. (the voice they hired for Koyuki's singing is kind of... less than would justify the reactions.)

hmm, i think Koyuki's singing voice is good, maybe not amazing, but good enough for what they describe it as, more or less

Tokyopop has gotton the original manga.

i heard about that, is that in the states? Because i don't think its out here in Scotland, so i may have to wait a while to get it, man after waching the series i wanna see what happens after...
