While I do understand why viewers do not enjoy ALI PROJECT opening themes, I somehow find them addicting in portions of the SKG op melody. Naturally, the sound is filled with some random synth noises and eerie background effects reminding me a bit of Halloween if I were to repeat portions of the track in 5 second intervals…
But, I can’t deny that the main melody has an epic video game tone to it… grand, fun adventure awaits. I’m also rather fond of the opening shot with Akiha running with arms like wings, spring said melody, and it gives me a good feeling. That being noted, I’d likely not find the single very attractive if it was not the opening for SKG.
Other Streamed Thoughts @melative.
obtw: Cosplay Akiha cover! Pink much?

Just want to get the led out, but it’s not Zeppelin, it’s the pop-fusion sound of Shiina Ringo’s Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana (加爾基 精液 栗ノ花, 2003, lyrics).
I’ve been listening to this album recently, and find it extremely flush and variant in sound. We’re talking circus to the cabaret, roller-rink to the organ house. Musically, the album is mesmerizing, confusing, fluttering… like seeing a burning moth soaring in the sky with a single wing. It’s beautiful, glimmering with a great range of instruments, and dark+bewildering in just the right places.
as if it were candlelight…
…Intoxicating
Though it was released in 2003, I wanted to put a shout out on the album, because it is quite exceptional.
You can listen to the final climax
btw: Souretsu, the last track, would make a fantastic AMV, but I’m going to say I can’t decide on an epic enough anime to truly fulfill it.

le mellow_bunny posted a nice inquisition about wanting for good music in anime, which reminded me of some past AMV’s. Dunno why it rings with me, but the band A.F.I., who I don’t particularly listen to, was mixed with Crest of the Stars (Sekai no Monshou, one of my favorites, Lafiel <3<3), on a track Morningstar. Here’s the vid. I just find something sweet and cadent about it; reminiscent.
Sadly, I could not find a streaming copy of the other video, of which I was originally I was reminded. It was another song by A.F.I (Death of the Seasons), tuned to Evangelion. Sweet and actiony.
I’m not really an A.F.I. fan, but I enjoy these songs for their relations to the series. I find they fit quite well, and that makes them a little better in my eyes.

How about this…
El Mark
I think it’s “Fuck Ya” material.
Edit: I can’t believe I mini-marathoned 19 episodes of this in two short evenings, the brain is fried.

Desho?
Wow, I knew it when I finished Baccano! last night, but has a marathon ever given a fresh light to this world of anime? I was beginning to feel a bit static with the Autumn season habits. The series are awesome, but personally, my viewing habits, yuh. It’s like: Gundam 00, and Shana on Monday nights, Dragonaut on Fridays, Minami-ke on Thursdays, etc etc etc. Wait… that’s a schedule! Damn the schedule! This is probably a negative disposition to have, but schedules take my life away; I have trouble with them.
