beck on much

First it was Kelly Osbourne going to Japan, now it's Mongolian chop squad on muchmusic (a Canadian music channel).

A real classy move by much. The anime was a success in Japan. I'm not too sure how it will be received by Canadians. The plot takes a while to get going and there are many awkward pauses so it might be a real turn off for people who're used to watching music videos.

The dubbing is pretty good, they've even redone the songs with proper English. As with all dubs, there are problems though. The extras, as usual, are terribly not believable.

Chiba's voice is a little too low in my opinion and it doesn't flow as well in some of his songs.

Koyuki's main song in the anime, Face, sounds terrible. It won't fit in with the story. His vocals are supposed to be so great that when a famous band hears this song, they select him to rock with them. His vocals are rather scratchy like a kid at his age with no vocal training.

Hopefully Canadians will stick with it, because it's a great story.
