Kinda insane how they never made a real soundtrack album for VIRUS (1980). The cue that plays over the nuclear apocalypse finale is probably the most sonically violent and bone-chilling composition I've heard in any regular film depicting such a catastrophe:

"My childhood was so awesome. You kids have no idea what you missed" What they missed:

This american broadcast adds a spoken narration for the Stephen Vincent Benét poem, Watkins' original is silent:

Somehow never noticed this while watching the show years ago, but Orguss (1983) had its audio redone in stereo for LD. I suppose that could retroactively make it the oldest mecha TV anime with stereo audio...

They're really just giving out Code Geass to anyone now huh

Nothing too crazy but I made a Backloggd for game stuff: backloggd.com/u/ConeAnne/

TOP 10 REASONS WHY GUNDAM WOULD SUCK IF IT WAS MADE TODAY (WARNING!! Not for sensitive babies!!🤣🤣)

[North American Dubbing Facility No.426198-761] 😒😴UGGGHHH This show has orchestral music in it? I can’t believe we have to dub something soooo behind the times… Can’t you guys like do something about the music and like make it like 20% cooler or something?😴😒

It took like 5 hours but I think they're battery died because it stopped beeping while I was sleeping

I don't blame anime sound editors for wanting to this steal this sound though because this random 1960s UK stock recording really is The Greatest Explosion Sound Effect Of All Time

Btw if you like Ideon you should check out some Japanese disaster films, I would particularly recommend The Last War (1961), Japan Sinks (1973), Prophecies Of Nostradamus (1974) and Virus (1980).

Fun Fact If you watch all 13 episodes of Banner of The Stars (2000) beginning to end, four times, it unlocks a secret bonus episode 14. It consists of nothing but Admiral Spoor pegging Kufadis in the ass for 22 minutes until the ED. It’s only viewable on the old r2 DVD tho

Would love to do one of these for Arion (1986) cause that's my favorite Hisaishi but I remember the BD audio being kinda iffy so I'll probably just wait until someone does a LD or VHS hi-fi rip😭

Just occurred to me recently that the ED credits for Ideon #39 somehow seem to have been cut out of the official BD release by accident (the USA Maiden Japan BD also has this issue). The ED credits for #39 are intact on the older Japanese LD release. Footage source: x.com/bitter_ju326...

Interesting going back to Raideen (1975) and noticing how sparse the BGM usage can be at times, even in action scenes. Kinda epic tbh.

Hating the Hathaway anime cause you want them to use Mikimoto's work as the basis for the drawing style is funny cause Mikimoto himself said he made those illustrations without ever actually meeting with Tomino.

I know Gen-X oldheads love Mikimoto cause of Macross, and his output during the Macross-era was impressive for his age, but I must confess Mikimoto is a pretty low tier Yasuhiko-kei animator for me. I feel more of an attachment to Kawamoto, Osaka and Yoshida‘s work when it comes to Yasuhiko-kei guys

Some of you will be haters, but sometimes the porn is just

The weird music you hear in First Gundam during encounters with Lalah is a stock effect called “Bizarre 6” (most likely cooked up by SFX editor Akihiko Matsuda) It can only be found in full on “サウン道 アニメ・恐竜・SF編 VOL.2”, a CD collection of anime sound effects overseen by Katsumi Itou of Swara Pro

If you've only ever seen the Venus Wars movie and never read the manga, not gonna spoil it, but there are a lot of surprises that await you in it
