I couldn't sit through K-ON! and thought it was awful and boring as hell, but BECK, I really dug. I kinda would like to see more music-orientated anime series. It's something that should be explored more often if you ask me.

Great piece! It's out of scope for this discussion really, but anyone who likes these kind of music anime might also like the live action film Linda Linda Linda.

Phew, her posture is just broken from the neck down. I especially love the feet position they went for since it looks like it requires her to dislocate one of them??

Beck is a pretty great show overall. Brina Palencia's singing is incredible, so much so that I wish Miho was the lead singer. Would've been more fun to watch. "Full Moon Sways" was on my favorite Youtube playlist for years.

I read the manga of NANA more than I watched the anime, but the music is awesome. Bonus: It got me to check out Eric Clapton's Layla(I didn't check out the live action films at all, though. What's the music like in those?)

Dunno. Do all well-endowed gals think that? Could be bedroom eyes. Laughing

Layla from Black Heaven? Very Happy

I wouldn't know, but I'd imagine having to stand around all day when they're that big, sticking them out in the air while people take endless pictures would probably kill your back after awhile. Very Happy

What do you even call that angle? An Up-Boob Shot? (A la an Up-Skirt shot)

I doubt anyone will believe this. I didn't believe myself at first. But a really great anime about forming a band and writing songs and getting signed and the troubles therein is Kaikan Phrase. Just stop watching it when the girl shows up halfway through, because at that point it becomes standard Mayu Shinju. But whoever did the anime spent the first 18 episodes without the heroine and it's pretty good, and so's the music. It does look pretty dated now though.

Yep, Beck is goddamn fantastic. In addition to how much reverence it has for music, it's one of the realest takes on what it's like being a teenager I've ever seen. It captures all the angst, hormones, and awkwardness from being 15 without feeling melodramatic or rose-tinted.

On a side note, if you've never seen it before, I would HIGHLY recommend sticking with the English dub. Mostly because the dub is fantastic and (in my opinion, at least) surpasses the original Japanese version. There's also the part that if you're gonna watch it in Japanese, you better have a high-tolerance of hilariously bad Engrish. Especially from characters like Maho and Ryusuke for whom English is supposed to be their first language.

Really? If someone offered you $10,000 per episode you would still refuse to watch it? That's hard corp.

As for healing anime, you should include Aria.


Quoting because fudge yea Aria.

Do I love K-On? Oh boy. I have just been in Kyoto, where I searched the last few locations from K-On that I missed the last time I visited Japan (Kyoto Animation is famous for using real-life locations in their shows). Yes, that's how much I love it, and it will probably be one of my favorites forever.
