Looking to dive into a classic music anime with heart, grit, and a whole lot of rock? Now’s your chance. BECK, the iconic coming-of-age anime about a teenage boy’s journey into the world of music, is now streaming for free on YouTube through May 11, 2025—courtesy of Kodansha’s official “Full☆Anime TV” channel.
What Is BECK?
Originally aired in 2004, BECK is a beloved music anime adapted from the manga by Harold Sakuishi. The story follows Yukio “Koyuki” Tanaka, a regular middle schooler with no clear goals or talents. Everything changes when he saves an odd-looking dog and meets Ryusuke, an enigmatic guitarist who introduces him to the power of rock music.
Through music, Koyuki finds confidence, forms unexpected friendships, and gradually becomes the vocalist of the band “BECK.” The series portrays the struggles of forming a band, clashing personalities, and the pursuit of dreams with a grounded, emotional tone. It’s widely regarded as a genre-defining work that continues to inspire fans of both anime and music alike.

To commemorate the release of Sakuishi’s new manga THE BAND, Kodansha is offering all 26 episodes of BECK for free streaming on YouTube. The anime is available from April 11 through May 11, 2025, on the official Full☆Anime TV channel.
