Objectively that's what it's earned, and yet...? So, yeah, Beck five stars, what the hell? Why five stars? I guess there's two answers to that, the first is the answer based on potential to move the viewer emotionally, by that criteria it's pretty simple, Beck is great. By the second notion I'm judging by a complex mixing up of that potential, with style, shere enjoyment and a desire for more shows of this type. With that sort of evaluation it's far more difficult to be accurate and fair, even on sober reflection I have to give it 5 stars, because it moves me and I can appreciate its style and the pleasure it brings in equal measure. Here then is the question, if I do I love Beck? And hell yes I do, then... Why? In terms of basic plot, Beck is not particularly special: a seemingly ordinary kid, through a chance encounter, discovers that he has an extraordinary gift for music. He practises and practises and practises playing the guitar until he becomes good enough that he's invited to join his new friend's band. From there we're treated to all the elements of the hero's journey, humble beginnings, slow rise, troubles encountered and overcome, humiliations, potential break up, until the ultimate triumph. Indeed in Beck this journey is never fully finished, and yet, I still hold it in the highest esteem. I revere Beck this highly because in the ground it does cover it manages it as well if not better than anything else on the market of this type, and because the show functions as a love letter to rock music from the 1960s through to the current times. The Beatles, The Stones, The Chilli Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, they and another dozen like them are all here, if you have the wit to look. And I loved every second of it. The music itself is gorgeous. Gorgeous, extravagant, baroque and utterly entrancing. I honestly can't think of another series where I have adored the stages through which the protagonists go on their journey to the same degree as I do in this production. In this show there are little character moments, which are so grounded in real human behaviour that they feel totally natural. It gives the twelve or so hours of Beck the feeling of a high quality indie film, rather than your standard, slice of life anime. I could go on extolling Beck's virtues, but honesty compels me to have a look at the flip side. First, the animation is spotty at best and downright poor at worst. Secondly, both sub and dub have certain problems, in the sub the singing voice of Koyuki is subpar, where as in the dub, Maho, the female lead, has a great singing voice but her acting is not up to scratch. (While Brina Palencia manages the character's sassiness, she's poor at the more tender, romantic elements) There are several other places where this happens. Over all though, I vastly prefer the dub, which is not a usual occurrence. Finally and worst of all, the series just isn't finished. The extended epilogue of a final episode atempts to hide the huge swathes of material that the studio either didn't have the budget to cover and or felt were unnecessary. God's this is so disappointing. I wish all of it was here, I'd have adored seeing the details of their American tour, their Japanese tour, their cutting of a full scale album and their rise to global stardom. Yes it would have doubled the length of the series, but given how good it already is, you can only imagine the triumph that would have made it. However, that didn't happen. With all these flaws I still give Beck a five star rating, not because it's perfect and not because it is a unique product, but, rather, because it takes an old formulae and presents it to us in a manner which grips me, in my mind, heart and soul and squeezes till I had not one single drop of emotion left to spare. I love this series in a manner I can barely think of the words describe and definitely more than than almost any other anime, so I'll leave off writing this review with one of Beck's own song titles: watching the series is the absolute' finest and enjoyable 'Brainstorm' you could possibly imagine. Review: Love the DVD - If you like music, anime and watching the main person develop and learn who they are, then this is a fab series :D ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 281 Reviews | | Format | NTSC | | Genre | music_video_&_concert | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00704400067792 | | Language | English, Japanese | | Manufacturer | MONGOLIAN CHOP SQUAD: BOX SET | | Number of discs | 4 | | Runtime | 10 hours and 25 minutes | | UPC | 704400067792 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Anime - **Format:** Animated, Box set, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Contributor:** Brina Palencia, Christopher Bevins, Eric Vale, Greg Ayres - **Initial release date:** 2012-01-01 - **Language:** English, Japanese ## Images ![Mongolian Chop Squad: Box Set [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Xsn-SV9xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Show Made Brilliant by Its Love of Its Material *by J***G on 1 November 2014* In many ways I shouldn't give 'Beck' more than four stars.

This is not the first case of funimation screwing up something but it is the first case of them out and out changing the audio and subs and at a pivitol point in the anime. to this point I'm glad i held onto the fansubs I downloaded. I even bought the soundtrack to this anime which is something that never happens unless i really like something to warrant it which also contains the unchanged audio. http://bestanimes.tv/beck-episode-23/ go here to see the unaltered version of the song ## Frequently Bought Together - Mongolian Chop Squad - Box Set S.A.V.E. - Mushishi: Box Set S.A.V.E. - Shangri-La - Complete Series - S.A.V.E --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/775354678-mongolian-chop-squad-box-set-dvd-region-1-us-import](https://www.desertcart.is/products/775354678-mongolian-chop-squad-box-set-dvd-region-1-us-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
