I finally finished watching Beck: The Mongolian Chop Squad is a slice of life anime about a timid 16 year old teen falling in love with playing the guitar and rock music. He quickly becomes obsessed with playing guitar and from early on in the series you can see Yukio, 16 year old main character, is a gifted guitarist. Getting praised and bullied for his progression in such a short time.
Outside of playing guitar, Yukio is a young teen trying to figure out his adolescence. He lacks a bit of confidence and is a genuine guy in a world where his classmates seek out personal vendettas against him for his talents. Extorting money, breaking his instruments, punching him in the face. Yukio goes through a lot and we haven’t even touched his love life. The only thing keeping him going, it looks like, is a new found musician friends
Yukio’s story is a righteous story. We’re the bad guys finally get their just due, where good music is above all, where the good guy wins. It is a story about fighting and sacrificing because you love what you do and nothing comes above your dreams.
