Ah see, I never read the manga to give me high expectations...but I've gotta wonder how an anime like this, with such a high audio component, works as well (or better) as a manga? Did you have to imagine the music or something? Also, they shows him (koyuki) progressing some, learning to write music and getting a louder voice and all...and wouldn't it be sorta weird if a shiver went down you spine every time you listened to a song?
Anyway, on topic, I forgot to mention that the first 25 eps of Hajime no Ippo have one of the best OP songs I've heard.

Oh and yeah, Yoko Kanno is sweet, I was just hatin. The Real Folk Blues was the first mp3 I ever downloaded

The Manga of course didn't involve singing usually at best you were given a song title and occasionally some lyrics however the actions are really shown through everyone's reactions. This left them with the ability to write the music for the anime.. Also not that the Beck chapters are VERY long often making them over 50 pages a chapter where as something like bleach or Naruto is around 20 pages. As a result each episode was about a chapter of the manga but even with that they were cutting some things. The worst caste being the end where they took the entire American tour and made it seemed more like a happy ending then the chaotic mess it really was.

I found at times when reading the manga you would get shivers however in the anime that was limited to Greatful sound for me atleast and I just didn't feel the storytellnig was captured quite as well as it was in Manga form..

All of that being said I do like Beck a lot and I did download the OST [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

gundam seed destiny, and some of the naruto themese ( like sadness and sorrow ( i just love piano solo's like that ( and the ignited piano in destiny) or strong and strike and raising fighting spirit), but i would say i like the gundam seed destiny alot more then the naruto themes

my favourite opening is from last exile, that song rocks; cloud age symphony, and the opening of wolf's rain is very catchy too. GITS:SAC 1&2 have great soundtracks, particularly like the tracks by gabriela robin. also really like one or two tracks off the first naruto soundtrack such as orochimaru theme, and the avenger theme.
