Reccomendation- BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad



Yukio, known by his friends as "Koyuki", is a regular 14-year-old Japanese boy who enters junior high school with two childhood acquaintances. One is a pervert, and ironically the other is a highly sought after female student.

Koyuki's boring life is changed when he saves an odd-looking dog, named Beck, from some kids. Beck's owner turns out to be an emerging rock musician, Ryûsuke Minami, who soon influences Koyuki to start playing the guitar, and even gives one to him.

The story focuses on the trials and tribulations of their rock band named BECK, and Koyuki's relationships with the members of the band, in particular Ryûsuke and his sister, Maho.



Now this anime, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (let's just call it BECK), inspired me to begin expressing myself through song and music.
During my time watching it, I got to learn the songs and even started singing along whenever the band would play a song. The music always got me up and dancing, singing and sometimes a scene would even have my crying.

The Theme song is HIT IN THE USA by The Beat Crusaders.

In this Anime, even the Animation itself is AMAZINGLY WELL DONE.
And I mean, really well done.
The details on the people, backgrounds, scenery... It's all very amazing.
During the series, the character Ryûsuke Minami gives Koyuki a guitar. The name and brand of the guitar escape me at the moment, however I clearly remember that the guitar looked exactly like the original one in real-life.

I would definitely recommend this anime to any and all music lovers.

For next time,

  1. I'd have to agree. Beck is my favourite anime too. I haven't seen it for a while. Can you only see it on the internet these days?
