Music, music, music. Both series have great music scores to keep you entertained, not to mention the underlining drama that eats away at each character. Even if you're not a fan of the drama, you'll probably end up enjoying the music in some sense~
Nana feels like the love-child of Beck and Honey & Clover. If you liked Nana, I'd suggest Beck if you liked the struggling band/musical aspects of Nana. And vice versa. =)
Both are good music series. Competition of two bands, romance, drama, and of course good music. Must see both
Prominently-themed in Indie rock music and relationship experiences through growing up.
All about the music baby.
Both anime have a theme of music, BECK is more of a music fans anime while NANA is more centered toward a shoujo audience . never the less both anime are amoung my favourite. Although I feel BECK is my favourite anime of all time NANA is the closest anime you will get related to rock music. (next to BECK that is)
Rock and Punk go hand by hand.
For boys - Beck. For girls - Nana.
Both are music series.about competition of two bands with romance and drama, a slice of life feel at times and good comedy and good music.
Nana and Beck tell us about the musical industry and everything concerning the creative process. We'll meet naive novices and tycoons of record labels, rookies and stars. Although in Nana the story is focused on love and relationships, it's also about the life of musicians, including live shows in small clubs, the recording process, promotion and music videos. If you want to know more about the musical industry you'll enjoy watching these series.
Music and life.
Both are great anime about a group of friends trying to make a rock band.
Slice of life, drama, and romance are the predominant elements of both series (Nana is more girl-oriented, though).
There is also the competition between 2 rival bands.
We see the characters growing up during the series, and struggling to make their dreams come true.
Also, both anime are by Mad House, and Takumi and Ryusuke are similar.
Both NANA & Beck are focused on music. NANA has female main characters and the serie centers around them. Also, they're already in their twenties. Beck on the other hand has young boys as main characters. Their both great to watch and have their own amount of music and drama.

an anime about a band. what can be better?
Both animes have some similar histories about music, a lot of musical references and of course a little band wanting to get bigger. There some other references but if i say it could be a spoiler so, watch it and make your conclusion. ^^
they are similar in terms of music
Both about soon-to-be musicians, Beck is a more serious take on it, while k-on is more comical about it.
School life and music of a band.
If you want a more serious anime than K-ON, Beck is definitely worth checking out if you haven't done so already.
It's about a music band but they do more serious music than K-ON's, with inspiration from the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.
Their soundtrack is also awesome which is also worth checking out.
At 26 episodes, Beck is something everyone must look at one time or another.
Both of these series focus around a band struggling to 'make it big'. BECK is the more mature of the two animes, while K-ON has all the comedy.

Both shows are centered around music. Drama isn't exactly similar in the two of them, but you'll probably end up enjoying the relationships developed between the characters. Koyuki could maybe be representative of Chiaki, as they're both struggling for a career in music.
Music + Anime you say? Then you definitely must watch these XD
their both revolve around music..
Nodame Cantabile is more of comedy based - so if you feel that the music presentations in it weren't enough, then watch this anime called Beck - a band that will rock your world with awesome music displays.
also a music anime series.
Both are GREAT anime about VERY NICE music, that's it :)
Enjoy, musicians and music fans =D

It seems to me that if a person liked the story of Kaikan Phrase, they'd like Beck too. They're both stories about mostly strangers coming together and working towards their dreams of being a famous rock band. They were very similiar but Beck was done better, I think.
Music from Λucifer (Lucifer). The first half of the anime is devoted to how the group forms and the many hardships they face in becoming a band. The second half of the anime picks up on the manga, following the romance of Aine and Sakuya. Good music.
In both anime amateur rock bands try to make it big in music industry, and plots mainly focus on the struggles of those who are involved.

Both are slice of life shows dealing with music. The main characters are kind of similar and they are also members of bands. There is more drama and romance in BECK, while D. M. C. has more comedy.
This anime is also about music, so if thats what you want, then see it, but besides the fact that they ar both about musicians, these anime havent got anything else in common.
DMC is about music? Beck is too!!!!
All who like electornic gutars and Rock must see it!!!

They have the same feel, animation, and general story line. While Beck seems to appeal more to the Male audience, Paradise Kiss seems to be more towards the Female aspect
They have a very similar direction, dialogues, & general feeling to them (in fact they're both produced by Mad House, and they have the same director, Osamu Kobayashi).
In both the protagonist wants to change his/her life, grow up, and mature.
Beck focuses on music and is male-oriented, while ParaKiss is a Josei series and revolves around fashion (but music is also present, thanks to Arashi).

Both are music titles with the classic drama, comedy and romance. On Beck though, the band plays a more important role on the story than in Gravitation.
If you liked Gravitation, you'll love Beck. They are similar in kind but Beck turns out being better in my opinion.
Both Music themed shows. Both have the lead with amazing talent. Both have the "Ultimate Band" they look up to and become friends with over time. VERY similar.

Even though one is about cycling and the other is about a rock band, there's a similarity in the personality and story development of the main characters -- quiet, unassuming guy finding a new niche and a group of friends through a new interest -- that might appeal to people who who liked the relationships more than the subject matter. Both Shinozaki (Over Drive) and Koyuki (Beck) end up having a natural aptitude that's brought out through the combined efforts of a charismatic brother and sister pair, etc, etc, etc. The shows really are similar in the general sense (not so much in art or subject matter, obviously).
The plots are totally different but they are both quite realistic stories of teams joining together and fighting to be their best. If you like the realistic style you'll enjoy watching both of these. And even learn a bit of stuff about music and bike riding that you didn't know before.

The main Character in both animes is clumsy and under confident. They both think that their not good at anything.

Beck has a strange dog, Tokyo Marble Chocolate has a strange mini donkey. Two strange animals trapped in otherwise realistic slice-of-life series.

Both have a similar soundtrack. 2 tracks from FLCL are also used within the final episode of Beck.

Both series are done by Madhouse, and are slice-of-life style stories about people trying to become famouse musicians. In Chance Pop Session the girls are trying to become pop idols(Obviously), while in Beck the band is trying to become a famouse band (Obviously). Both series are heavy on the drama, and are slow paced, but not boring. Also both series have high use of music, and good soundtracks(although Beck's is a lot better). Beck was made more for the males in mind, Chance Pop Session was made for the girls but neither are "extremely" girly/manly or anything. Also Beck has better animation (attention to detail, better style, better character designs), but Chance Pop Session isn't ugly or anything, but Madhosue could have done a lot better, esecially sense it;s only 13 episodes long :( . Nice character desings though, even if they are a little generic .Fans of one series probally would like the other.

They have the same mood: both slice of life anime about music and friendship, since in both there’s a group of friends who build up a band together.
Both also have some romance and comedy.
Also, both of the male protagonists are called Tanaka.

Both are slice of life, coming-of-age stories about young teenage males. They both involve drama and romance, though it is more of a main focus in "Ocean Waves". "BECK" focuses more on music.

Both anime have preety simmilar "From zero to hero" feel, and bullied, hard-working type main character.
Furthermore they were both made by Madhouse Studios, however Hajime no Ippo is way better animated, but yet Beck has better soundtrack.
Well, check by yourself and hope you like them.

Beck and Piano no Mori are both wonderful musical tales about love of music, perseverance, and self-belief.

Takemoto and Koyuki are both struggling to fulfill their artistic dreams while maturing and confronting the obstacles of life.
