Well, if we are just going to talk about extraordinary scores for excellent shows, then I have to include Tsuneyoshi Saiti's
work on
Dennou Coil. He moves effortlessly across a diversity of musical styles and instrumentations to create appropriate backgrounds for an equally wide-ranging story.
I'll give an Honorable Mention to Honma Yusuke's
score for
Oh! Edo Rocket. For a story set in 1843 Edo where the people have TVs and the Internet, what better choice than the "big-band" sound of the late 1940s.
