Anime BGMs :: Non-Mio headphone test drive
I'm still learning to get the best out of my recently acquired ATH-ANC7. For starters, turning on noise cancelling for a fuller sound, regardless of background noise, bears out a common theme in the reviews. Also an excuse to post about the medley of favourite anime BGM tracks which I used for the headphone test drive as well as an aural pick-me-up. I have even less musical knowledge compared to dear sweet slothy Yui so corrections and level-ups will be much appreciated.
Ginme no Majo (Masanori Takumi | Claymore)
This background music track always reminds me Galatea's deliciously wicked musing as she walked off into the darkness of the forest towards the end of Ep 11. And also when Riful intervened against Jean's attempt coup de grace against Duff.
The dramatic drum beats right at the start are a great hook, thereafter the strings carried me to the embarking on a new adventure, announced by a triumphant brass section. The stirrings of mystery and conspiracy are heralded by piano keys against a background of bass notes and eerie synthetic animal-like calls. The various sounds come together, moving in and out, building into a crescendo that made such a great background to the above-mentioned scenes.
Fool Metal Zaku Fufufu in Nakano
On Day Two of the Tokyo expedition, this Zaku took it easy. Slept in to nurse my worn out leg servos and gyros, blogged yesterday's happenings before having lunch with an old university friend and only after that did I launch off towards Nakano Broadway via the Tozai line. Less photographs than yesterday because of the high staff to area ratio, making it much harder to get away with snapping close-up pictures of stuff and thus having a high risk of breaking the 11th Commandment.
February Loot
Aaah, sweet loot. Pride of place is the Lunamaria Hawke pencil board which Stripey mailed to me just in time for the Big Three-Oh. Thanks again, bro!
The rest, accumulated over a period of seven weeks, is the complete Noir DVD set. Am really enjoying the write-ups that accompany it and the sheer dedication of the production process helps to explain why this is one of my favourite classics. The only fly in the ointment was the cutting of that the scene where the little children were shown to be carrying arms in the Soldats village. While understandable, it really neutered the horror and absurdity of the whole idea of Soldats and their proto-Hobbesian conception of human nature. Watching this series a second time, Kirika's Letter was just dripping with raw desire and longing which Mireille obviously understood...
