I really liked the slide show method of summing up the American tour. I liked this series a lot more than I expected to.

the story felt really rushed, think i would have liked it more if it had been stretched to 3 or 4 seasons. still a good series tho.

they never did settle the whole maho x tanaka thing for sure or explain why leon went to jail or why ryu didn't die.

yes, they should have settle the maho x tanaka thing D:
&leon was arrested for the murder of erika bildge, he made it look like she commit suicide, etc etc, did it for the money, etc etc.
glad about that, because it means that he probably cant touch Ryusuke or the band, hopefully :)

I liked the slideshow a lot, however the actual ending (with the Crocodile place) was a little lacking, I wished for some feel-good ending with all five members being shown. Another season would be welcome.

I found it a very enjoyable series. The animation in the first few episodes were somewhat horrid, but it got better and the story really drove through me.

I think the development between Maho and Koyuki was summed up well at Greatful Sound. She chose him over Yoshita, and everything from then on is supposedly a done deal.

Just finished this, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I agree that they could've / should've kept the series going over a number of seasons. The potential was definitely there.

Same here. After watching the first episode, I was a bit worried about this series, but it turned out to be pretty enjoyable overall.

At first it dragged quite a bit, but it ended pretty well. I also enjoyed the slide show style at the end. Def. was worth watching :)

Wooo Beck got famous.

The series was very good, but it did drag a bit in parts. I liked the way they showed the whole America tour through Koyuki and Maho looking at the photos.

Overall, worth watching despite occasional drag and sometimes bad art/animation

That was an extremely good series with amazing dubbing work. I normally like the subs more but man! Props to funimation.

Also, I thought the ending was just fine XP

Great anime. Loved the characters and music. I agree they definitely rushed the ending. I did not like the whole slide show thing. Left me wanting more. A second season would be nice.

I'm waiting for the second season to start. The manga series is incomplete without audio, especially since it's about music and performing live. There's only so much words can describe art...

It has a good ending. The series could have few more episodes cause the manga is really interesting, but it's OK to finish the anime like that.

How did they get Leon though?

It was like I was satisfied and not satisfied at the same time. Not satisfying simply because I just didn't want it to end and I think BECK so deserved another season. But satisfied because it was a beautiful ending nonetheless. I'm so happy that even though the plot was rushed, they made an ending was geniunly touching, unlike most rushed endings.

I really disagree with the second season demands, BECK`s a great show, I like the ending a lot because it really summed things up very nicely, and it was very suitable. ^^
Although it`s one of those shows you never want to end, I think a second season will have to be disappointing.

Of all the music anime, I'd have to say this is the best even having watched it two times. Personally I think there could of been a few more episodes to sum up their american tour, but those slid shows were pretty nice.

It's such a pity that the other arcs in the manga are just basically the copy of the same arc with the same drama... It's quite disappointing.

This was a nice series, it was fresh. Albeit it seemed a bit of cliche at first, it became orginal as it progressed. Nearer to the end, when they went live it became really good, that is when its true potential came out, then after that they split up, which I think they should have ended it there, as when he went and regrouped with them, that was cliche which kind of ruined the end. In addition the relationship between him and Maho was left slightly ambigious! Nevertheless the series was good overall.

I think Leon Sykes got caught because he was tricked by Ryuusuke, who told him on the phone that he'd meet up with him, but what he really did was show the evidence he got from Eddie to the police or something and wait with them until Leon arrived to meet him and bam they take him away.

And also, I think the Yukio x Maho thing was a done deal. In the end through the slideshow of photos, the voice was Yukio telling Maho all about the tour, so that sort of confirms that Maho and he are doing just fine together.

I never expected Beck to be such a good anime. You really can't judge an anime before you actually watch it.

Amazing series! I was skeptical at the beginning, but the more I watched it, the more I loved it! Great ending!

And I assume that Maho and Koyuki made up, because of the way they were talking to each other during the slideshow. Glad that worked out!

Well, the end was too fast and some questions still in the minds of everybody i think :
Why Leon was arrested?
What happened between Koyuki and Maho?
Was the american tour good?

I think that could have more episodes

But, after all it's a good anime. I liked and i'm going to miss it too

Yeah, me too. Firstly I just find it like normal, non-interesting anime for boys (very young boys), but it was just awesome.

Even if I can't stand accent ;P

The end is really good :)

This was a good anime..wasn't expecting it to be that good. WOW lol. So many animes fall short of a GOOD ending..Beck's was decent...


I think that it was pretty self-explanatory that Maho and Koyuki were together... after the events of the Greatful Sound Festival and the photo image slideshow at the end of this episode.

N Mr. Sykes got arrested for murder..so I guess Ryusuke did trick him or something.

I felt the ending was a little rushed and things were left unanswered.. i'm feeling quite unsatisfied, i hope for another season or at least a few OVAs but I suppose given how much time has gone by since Beck ended that is doubtful... :(

I like band and music so I started watching this two years ago but was not able to finish it because of the limited animation. Picked this series again and rewatched from the beginning. The limited animation I shy away before now seem okay with me. I'm glad I picked this up again. The OST sounds more wonderful after watching it. The ending wants me more of it. It's a great show and I hope there's more similar to this.

The ending was meh. Sigh, the last two anime series I have watched had so-so endings, NHK and Beck. Why must these animes with such high potential have such a shitty closing.

I wish the relationship with Maho was a bit more developed and maybe have them at one more huge live concert. Heck, I thought the last episode would be all of them reuniting in Japan and THEN heading to America with some contract deals or something. Sigh, ah well, 8/10, I guess.

Just got done finishing this series. It was really fun to watch all the way up to the last two episodes for me. I wished they had put a little bit more air time with Maho x Kyouki, but I understand why they didn't since this anime was more about that band. This is definitely my favorite anime that is based around music so far I gave it a 9/10 (Would have been 10/10 if the ending was done better).

1st series I've watched in awhile where I liked all the characters in it. No one was really annoying. I would like to see another season or OAV of this anime but seeing how this was made 5 years ago and there hasn't been anything yet I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up for now.

Great anime, but they should have stopped after episode 25, this one felt too rushed and I had a feeling the reunion thing was just to please the viewers who didn't like the split.

nope, I was gonna comment on this too! ^^
cuz The Pillows were actually playing at Grateful Sound also! it was Rookie Jet
also there was a pun
the band's name was HEROES which in romaji is HIIROZU
and written in katakana, all it would take is one maru (small circle)
to transform that into PIIROZU, Pillows
pretty cool

also I dont feel the ending was rushed. dunno why everyone's complaining
I cant imagine the show stretching on for seasons either
we got a peek into a slice of their life
left with the feeling that the journey has just begun
it's a good feeling to me. I dont mind being left with it.

I friggin' loved this! It inspires me, it made me cry, it amazed me...
I don't feel the ending was rushed either. We've seen Beck rising from the beginning and becoming bigger and stronger. I got really sad that they split up, but it felt so good that they came back together again. I think it would have been too much to have the entire American tour in another season or so, this was good.

Really enjoyed it, definitely going to rewatch it!
