definitely a 8 for the series. the ending made me feel empty. this is definitely a more mature anime where they leave it to your imagination.

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.
Agreed.

It was certainly too rushed - I don't think they even once showed Ryuusuke anywhere.

Great anime, but the ending detracts a point. Although 9/10's still good, lol.

I love the slideshow thing. It's great to see beck members together again. I like the series, though i did not really like it at first. I guess the series grew up on me.

I wonder if the manga also ends where the anime ends? I'd like to see more of Beck! I wonder if there is any hope for a season 2 of beck?? :S

I actually dropped this series before 'coz I couldn't stand the awkward "english" and the art (shoujo-fan here so I'm used to those perfect bishies <3 lol). But anyway, thank goodness I decided to watch it again. It was terrific! The music were eargasmic and I just totally adore Taira and Saku! <3

After watching the series twice over, it still has the ability to make me cry, that i shall not deny. there is so much drama and emotional stuff goin down in this anime that its unreal. Looking back on it the last episode was kind of rushed, but everything did come to a close in the end and i am glad that the band got back together in america and all that. Great series overall, can't wait to watch it again :D

Well all the good stuff has to have ending ain't it? I really liked this series really great and obviously what i most liked was the music. 9/10 for me and it still kinda bugs me how the whole Maho thing ended :l

Am I the only one who noticed that Taira was playing with The Pillows?

I liked the series even though it was slow at first.
How did they get Leon though?

You certainly weren't the only one! the moment I heard Last Dinosaur I screamed "NO FUCKING WAY!" then Taira showed up on stage :P was awesome though if a were Taira I wouldn't have quit i mean its The Pillows!
Anyway i'm glad Beck started again.

I enjoyed the series. The beginning was a little slow, but after that the storyline was good and I got hook. I also enjoyed the music. I also thought the ending was quick and I wished they tied some of the loose ends up. I was wondering where Beck (the dog) was going to show up again and I'm happy his back. Overall good series. I probably should check out the manga.

Very good series. Sure the ending was rushed but it was good nonetheless. I'm glad they were able to solve their problems and reform BECK.

I'll start reading the manga soon.

Glad to see they got the band back together. I thought the slide show was a neat way to handle the tour, but I would have preferred to have seen it in episodes. So much happened (Chiba's dream, Keith, Ryusuke's return, Leon Sykes, etc.) and it just gets glossed over.

Great series overall. The animation was...yeah. And the resolution with Maho...I was really hoping it would have been better last episode. Still, loved all the characters, except the ones you're supposed to hate, and then I really hated them, and the music was great.

9/10

Shoutouts to the Pillows! Really got excited to see Tiara play with them while playing one my favourite songs in Last Dinosaur.

Really enjoyed this anime from start to finish. I do agree the ending was a bit lacking but the picture slide show was a nice little touch.
Off to watch the live action movie

Hm, that was good stuff. Pillows moment was lol (so many other cameos I didn't get). The show would have gained from characters 3 years older, but I guess it's a target problem. Overall, a solid character design (Maho was especially win) and plot (damn, what was that doggy subplot?), but a few awkward animation moments, and weird ellipses. Too bad there isn't a second season (and they rushed the ending), I would watch that. Ma ii. :)

Ah, the series is finished.

This was an epic series imo and I marathoned it in two days. We need more titles like this and I enjoyed the music aspect of Beck. Maho and Kyouki's bonding and their love of music was moving. That photo montage in this episode was amusing to watch as well as the journey that the band went together.

It's glad to see them back also as well the final song at the end. This is a amazing series imo and one that I will remember for awhile.
Beck is a series that defines music and executing in a way that is mature.

It's entertaining without going explicit. It's emotional without being overdramatic. It's fun without being stupid. It's also has romance and drama without random loli/fan-service. No regrets watching this.

8/10. I'm considering a 9/10 at the moment also

Same here. Last couple episodes made me decide on an 8 rather than the 7 I was going to give it.

Good series overall. Laid it on a bit too thick with the bullying and Koyuki's weak personality when dealing with Maho.

Disappointed in the romantic side of this anime.
But, it was still great.
Not one minute of the whole series was ever boring.

So, after about 5 or 6 years since I first watched this, I have (for the first time for any anime) rewatched this and it is just as amazing as I remember it. I absolutely love this show...

First of all though, the animation is not as good as I remember it... animation has definitely come a long way since back then! Also, I didn't remember that the show had so many rushed moments (will be giving the manga a read to see if it missed anything).

I wish there was more on the relationship between Koyuki and Maho, especially more of Maho because she was cool.

Still. I love the music, the story, the characters, the coming of age of Koyuki, everything..

I just wish they still made more realistic shows like this...

Seriously one of my favorite anime. One of the most realistic slice of life animes out there. Compared to all the other crap thats made it really stands out.
I just wish they had continued it. The manga keeps going far beyond where the anime stops to when Koyuki is 19 (or even 20. Not sure). The soundtrack is amazing and even though the animation quality isnt that great the animators are able to work around the low budget they had.
Just wished the ending wasn't so rushed :/

Good thing they revived the band though they could have shown more of it. I demand a second season imagine a second season with madhouse current animation that would be awesome!!!

Ahh it was a good ride at first I really thought this anime was about a band in an RV in a road trip stopping by different places to perform well I guess I was wrong :P

This anime is really good I'll never forget it! so long.

I can just do a 360 on my comment last episode...

Can't say I like how they rushed this episode... they didn't even do a live for the final scene/ending. ;(

However, I will probably read the manga.... loved this series! Love the music too.

I posted this on 25, but deleted it because it should be here:
The manga covered 34 volumes, so the animation of course couldn't cover it all. Even before I read the manga I thought that the ending hinted that they were going to be huge: all the original members came back and they all shared the dream, this symbolized that they were going to be stars.

Glad to see your opinion changed, I totally agree with your comments, the music for this show was great. The way they depicted true "rock" verse the manufactured crap that passes for it was extremely well done.

Gosh this anime was weird. A slow - almost soul crushing first ten episodes, moving into a well placed 10 more episodes, then onto an insanely rushed finale. I don't even know how to feel about it.
