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


Naw man, I saw that as well.

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.

Awww its over now *sigh*. I really liked it but I think just having one extra episode to smooth a few things out would have been good.

Yeah, another season showing BECK in the top 5 of America and Japan would be good =)

Well, imo this anime was awesome, and now I'm little sad that it ended... =(

BECK is back! \o/ (both Becks XD)

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

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.

For those of you wanting more. Definitely read the manga. The Beck manga was the first manga I'd ever read and its really good and wraps up the story of Beck nicely.

I felt it was a great end to it all I honestly was surprised that beck started up again I just felt some parts dragged out but all in all i enjoyed it very much.

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!

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

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.

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.

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. :)
