I didn’t really know what to expect when I started watching this show. I had never seen a music themed anime before, and didn’t really have much motivation to try it out.

It's about this middle school kid named Koyuki, who finally connects with the world around him through music and what eventually becomes a band called Beck... blah, blah, blah.

Story-wise... it's a little kooky. I don't kno... read more
