If the majority of the Federation had been in favor of the Titans behaviour and attitude they wouldn't have worried about Cha addressing the Federation Council for example. And the AEUG and Karaba would never have found the support from civilian subscriptions to enable them to oppose the Federation's elite special forces on relativily even terms. Gundam X is similar. There are all of 4 characters that want a war between Earth and the colonies and two of them get talked out of it. |

Watched all the way to the end, and i can't for the life of me remember a single memorable music score, even from some of the scenes i can remember (i.e. the fight between kira and what-is-best-friend-name, robot bird flying in space etc etc) Dunno what ears you have, but they certainly not the same as mine, as i can confidently say i was very underwhelmed by the soundtracks. Well, except for the ending theme song, seem to remember that, especially when that mobile armour pilot sacrifice himself for his lover-captain, then the credits came after that, sort of made me blink my eyes. as for "Ai Oboete Imasuka", after all these years, i can still bring up the memories of her singing on that transparent bridge, the explosions lighting her up, and the valkyries flashing and dying around her, as the song reach the chorus one on the many break though the stunned zentradi's, blows a hole in the mothership, the valkyrie flowing on the song itself, before reaching the big-head, pull out the bazooka and nails the bugger! god. that song will remain with me forever. Just the same as i can remember the chasing and quicken pace of the notes as gauld and dyson settle their rivalry amongst the test city, trading punches and tactics. it was beautiful. As for GiTS, well maybe because i'm a Shirow Masumune Fan and love GiTS, Appleseed, Tank Police etc etc. That i really like the OST from them? well maybe not Appleseed, the original nor the new ones. for some reason not really connecting to me on those remakes/adaptations. Cowboy Bebop was a good OST too, i think yoko kanno did great on that too, and i watched that on the same channel as Gundam Seed was on, so maybe that's why i never noticed it's OST? drowned out by a superior one.

Also, I think Toshihiko Sahashi isn't credited enough because he worked mostly with a lot of otherwise unimpressive manga ports and smaller works. Even shows like Gunslinger Girls was a relatively minor show compared to other shows in its time. A yet another great Toshihiko OST in that one. Quote:

While for Kanno, she's way more adaptable than anything else, and she carves up a niche of her own with her very distinctive melding of different styles and genres. While her brass work is IMHO inferior to Sahashi's, she's way more adaptable than he is when it comes to things like OP/ED/Insert song composing , which is precisely what a franchise like Macross needs, what with the singing already being a standard trademark of this franchise. And since this isn't a purely military series with all bugles and trumpets, we'll be needing much more of a balanced soundtrack to complement all types of scenes properly. And yes, Turn A Gundam OST FTW. Let's hear if Kanno can repeat that kind of performance in Frontier. |

Well can't say I'm the best at judging different series music. Though I played tough to really put something I heard a while ago into a comparison.
At least the thread has done a good thing. Thought at least I could check out Macross Plus to try and get a look at things. Obviously a ton of things that are out there to watch. Really is something to see how much music had a role to play in that one.

The lack of talk about Sahashi Toshihiko's Simoun score makes me sad, I'll rate OST 1 from Simoun as his best OST ever with Gundam SEED OST III being #2. If you liked his work on the SEED series than you should definately check out his Simoun score... Also while I really, really liked Yoko Kanno's TAG score I thought she did a better job with Brain Powered which imo is her best obscure work. *plays Power of Light*.

Sahashi Toshihiko for instance did an amazing job with the SEED scores but Yuki Kajiura had to handle every insert song as well as a fair portion of the ED themes. That's why Kanno is perfect for the job and so far she seems to be doing a great job, the two insert songs I really like and the BGM played from 19:30 onwards is just awesome. Kanno did a fantastic job in Macross Plus, musically and vocally as Gabrielle Robins, in addition to every insert song which she knocked out the park, stuff like Dogfight was just amazing, the way that track is layered and built up is just perfect.

I'm sure 4tran will be trying to get us a Macross sub forum Onizuka-GTO, heck I don't think he will have to try that hard since this thread is already over 1000 posts.... without a sub forum this thread will smash whatever record Kimikiss Pure Rogue sets for most posts in a single thread in this forum. I don't see anything else being more popular next season than Code Geass R2, Macross Frontier and Soul Eater.

Even the Mai Otome OVAs and Macross Plus, as great as they were, really didn't need to hinge on too many pieces compared to the typical 26-50 episode shows. I think the trend is definitely there when listening to the actual OSTs. The actual number of the tracks is obviously higher in 2 cour+ shows. Also in general experience, I think the actual themery of the music tends to be more ambitious, such as having remixes of the same theme to various effect and so forth. Quote:

If Kanno did the actual OST and Kajiura did the inserts/EDs, Frontier would be absolute gold from the music itself. i'm a few days late to the discussion, but Kanno's best OST was definitely Escaflowne. The few songs from Turn A i heard were good, but not as good in my ears as Escaflowne. As for Kajiura, her inserts for SEED speak volumes about her ability.

To full appreciate a soundtrack, i've always said that one has to hear it within the series first, before going onto solo listening. That way you're not just listening to the music, it's apart of you from your experience with that series. This works wonders with Turn A Gundam.
