About a boy with no real goals, developing a big dream.
For Bakuman it's manga, Beck it's music.
They may seem like completely different dreams, but both animes show the ups and downs of making it big in each respected craft, about starting small and eventually making it big time.
Both have about the same elements of romance, Beck is a lot more crude though (f + mf words - spoken in english however), and they both give you that giddy feeling when a conflict is overcome
Both anime have the same vibe and theme.
Rivalry, friendship, struggling, love, disbands.
Like Ryuuske for Koyuki, Takagi is the one, who pushed Mashiro to become mangaka.
No one knows them from beggining(Underground gigs and oneshots), but soon they both skyrocketed to the top of popularity (Greatful Sound and serialization on WSJ respectively).
In both anime they've reached their goal.
And art -- is just music, which you can see.
