New To You ep236: Anime pt3

In our opener Keith expounds on his favorite museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You can get a membership to this beacon of culture in a desert of lots of other culture that is NYC. ___________ pt3: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga & Anime 1999-2008) John's pick this week, which he gets to after a rambling retelling of his path to discovering Anime, is the music/rock band anime & manga "Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad."  The Manga started in 1999 and finished in 2008, it was collected in 34 volumes. Unfortunately the US localization rights were released before the entire series was published in the states. The mangaka Harold Sakuishi was a fan of wrestling and baseball, both of which he did comics for and references in Beck. The animated series is pretty economical and relays the first third or so of the manga over 26 episodes. The Beat Crusaders provided most of the music, making this one of the better series about musicians and bands, with fun and poppy rock music. Fender released a series of guitars inspired by designs from the series, which themselves were inspired from actual guitar models. You can purchase the anime on Amazon, or stream it on Hulu.  ______________________ NEXT WEEK: We conclude our topic and our time with Teylor (but we need to get her back- to find out what Slipknot mask she'd have).
