This is a 10 bit HEVC / x265 reencode of joseole99’s Dual Audio 17.3 gb release of BECK - Mongolian Chop Squad, with flac audio encoded down to AC3 to reduce file size. This is a great show and one of the few in which I outright recommend everyone to watch the dub. Since most of the musical content of the show has English lyrics, the Japanese voice acting is fairly cringy. Luckily, the dub does an amazing job of covering all the music excellently and the casting is a perfect fit for the characters. Because of all this, the “English” audio track is set to default, with “Signs/Song for Dub” also enabled by default. I also included a compilation album I found of the music of the show from the dub cast. Hope you enjoy this show!
Here are some comparison shots of my encode vs joseole99’s encode

Fourteen-year-old Yukio “Koyuki” Tanaka is a dispirited young boy with no goals in life. However, this all changes when Koyuki saves a strange-looking dog named Beck from being harassed by a group of local kids. The dog’s owner, 16-year-old Ryuusuke “Ray” Minami, is an emerging guitarist and the former member of a popular rock band.
After Koyuki meets Ray again in a diner, the older boy leads him to his former band’s meeting place and dazzles Koyuki with his amazing guitar skills. Slowly becoming interested in the glamour of western rock culture, Koyuki decides to start playing the guitar while helping Ray achieve his dream of leading the ultimate rock band. Together with Ray’s younger sister Maho and a few other members, the two boys launch their career into the world of rock by forming a band called BECK. Beck follows the group’s struggles and successes as they spread their fame across Japan.

The description says:
“Subtitles: Signs/Song for Dub; ASS styled subtitles; English; ASS styled subtitles”
Unfortunately there’s almost nothing “styled” in this release, or at least, based on the episode I checked. It’s just .srt subtitle masked as .ass. I’ve checked the .ass subtitle, and it uses a single style throughout the whole episode, which uses the Arial font, and it’s coloured white.
To be fair, this is not the fault of this release, as the subtitles were just taken from joseole99’s release. But I expected a bit more when I read “styled” in the description.
