I spoke too soon!

Well, I'm now hooked on a new anime that doesn't seem to be known by many called "Me!" errr.....I mean "BECK". *lol* Though it can't be about me cause I'm not a patch work dog. I saw one person on my flist talk about it and then I'm glad that wardove decided to cave in to it now. *snickers*

I'm hooked already by one eps and I can't stop laughing at the English they speak in this. The manga is pretty good too of what is released so far.

The animation design kinda reminds you of FLCL and the manga design is a mix of Mars, Kare Kano, and something else I can't quite place my finger on it.

The creator already has gained points in my book by having Ryuusuke Tanaka wearing a shirt that says Johnny Ramone and the ending credit pics kinda look like their own creative take on Kurt Cobain, RHCP, James Brown, and a few others I'm sure they are trying to blend in it. Once the kids finally form their band, I'm anxious to see how the singing/music is going to sound. The OP and ED songs for this are really good, they sing it in Engrish. In some clips, Ryu almost looks like a chick and though manga wise, the kid with the semi-fro and the facial hair (name is Chiba) almost looks like a young version of Chris Cornel from Soundgarden. Perhaps the creator to BECK is blending in some of their influences in music they like.

BECK is the patch-work dog that you can see on the front page to the Japanese site here.
