Ah, I was wating for this so much I just couldn't wait for Anime-Empire...so I downloaded the raw(Which turned out ok as the first episode is EXACTLY like the first chapter in every way). The band they chose for Beck is still semi-unknown as, oddly, the OP and ED are sung by two different bands. The one that did the OP, Beat Crusaders, is probably the band whom will sing all of Beck's songs as the OP shows the band singing along to it. The opening theme is enjoyable and I'll most likely download the OST when it comes out. The animation matches the unique one the manga used and, thankfully, Ryusuke's voice actor doesn't have a japanese accent while speaking english(About 1/8 of the manga is in english and the anime shouldn't be much differnet). I say this is good because his character is Japanese but was brought up in america so, like in the manga, shouldn't have a japanese accent speaking in english nor sound any less fluent in japanese than someone whom lives there all their life. All in all, a decent first episode. They'll probably manage to compact the 19+ volume manga into 26 episodes by shortening the Grateful Sound arc(Which lasts for several volumes in the manga). Anyways, once A-E subs this, I reccomend checking it out even if you dislike the music basis, just to give it a chance.
