BECK: The Movie

( Ranting spoilers. )

As a whole, I do feel that they did do the manga justice fairly well. It had the same feeling, undertones and up and down roller coaster feel of a small band just trying to make it big.

One thing I loved was the details. How they actually took the time to recreate certain -- especially tiny, seemingly insignificant ones -- details. Like things from Lucille (obviously important) to their wardrobe (they had your fave "LORITA" shirt, bluestraggler!). I'm also impressed at how all of the actors really did look like the characters. It didn't extend to only the main cast, the secondary characters hit the spot, too! My faves by far were Kiritani Kenta/Chiba (SO PERFECT) and Nakamura Aoi/Saku. X3 Sato/Koyuki was very adorably awkward though. D'aww. Kutsuna Shiori/Maho was hilarious! I laughed every time her voice would go up several octaves when angry. So violent~ Hahaha. Taira (Mukai Osamu) could've been hotter...Shorter hair...More buff? Idk. And of course, Ryuusuke. Oh Mizushima Hiro. You are HOT. Lol. This was the first time I heard him speak in English and wow, he's not bad at all! Though that minor lisp was cute, except kikinasai kept on laughing whenever he spoke so then I started laughing. XD;


AND THEIR EXPRESSIONS. LOL. I loved how they were so animated, but not to the point of being too horribly cheesy. Gaaah. ♥

All in all, it was awesome seeing one of my fave series come to life even if it had a few disappointments. It was so cool seeing them come together and actually look/act like a band on stage!

I really should go back and reread the entire manga now that it's done. I hope I can find it in its entirety online somewhere...
