Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is an anime television series from TV Tokyo that originally aired from 2004 to 2005. It follows the story of a high school student named Koyuki, an average teenager who feels like he doesn't fit in anywhere. One day, he saves a strange dog named Beck from a group of delinquents and meets Ryusuke, the dog's owner.

Ryusuke, a talented guitarist and lead singer of a local rock band called Beck, inspires Koyuki to pursue his own musical talents. As Koyuki becomes more involved with the band, he finds a sense of belonging and purpose he's never experienced before. With Beck, he learns about the ups and downs of the music industry and the intense passion that drives musicians to create.

Throughout the series, Koyuki struggles to balance his school life with his newfound passion for music. He faces opposition from his family, who believe he should focus on his studies, as well as from his classmates who see him as a strange outsider. Meanwhile, Beck faces its own challenges, such as finding gigs and gaining recognition in the competitive world of Japanese rock music.

The show features a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique personalities and musical talents. From the quiet and reserved Taira, the bassist of the band, to the energetic and outspoken Chiba, the second guitarist, every member of Beck brings their own strengths and weaknesses to the group.

One of the most interesting aspects of the series is the incorporation of music into the storytelling. The series features a wide range of music, from classic rock covers to original songs created by the characters themselves. The music is an integral part of the show's narrative, and each song helps to move the story forward and reveal the characters' emotions and motivations.

The animation quality of Beck is impressive, particularly during the concert scenes, which are filled with energy and excitement. The characters are well-designed and easily recognizable, and the backgrounds beautifully capture the atmosphere of Japanese cities and countryside.

Overall, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is a must-watch for any music lover or anime fan. It's a coming-of-age story that explores the power of music to unite people and inspire greatness. With its memorable characters, catchy music, and engaging storytelling, it's no wonder that the series has gained a dedicated following since its release.

Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on October 6, 2004.
