[...] has a strong Choro Club influence (you know, the band that worked on ARIA). In fact, zzeroparticle would tell you that a few of the musicians are actually from Choro [...]

There’s no denying I may be extending myself this season. But so far OST-wise, Ristorante’s is looking really good. Might be tied up with best OST of the Fall season along with Eden or FMA (Kajiura fans now have permission to rage).

I haven’t heard the music from half of these shows since I tend not to watch too much per season (leaves room for older stuff and all that), but I should probably check out the Ristorante Paradiso OST when it comes out. I doubt I’ll watch it but the music sounds like it could be a pleasant change of pace.

Yeah, Shangri-la probably wasn’t going to make the list due to time constraints. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though and I’ll give the soundtrack a listen once it gets released. I’ve been missing out on some music that’s similar to Last Exile as it stands.

Yeah, I’m not touching Queen’s Blade with a 10 foot pole. It’s not up my alley and I’m not even sure who’s scoring the soundtrack on that one, so I’m just going to wait to see if anyone reports/blogs about the music for that series (highly unlikely methinks).

@lelangir
Cross your fingers. We may just end up getting lucky and get a Ristorante OST that has extended versions of each BGM piece. If nothing else, please let each track be 2 minutes long on average.

Also, if there was an OST I wish K-ON! would mirror, it’d be Hidamari Sketch

Man the Ristorante Paradiso OST is some good stuff. The only thing I don’t like is how short the pieces are – all seemed pretty short, around a minute or under.

And yeah, the K-ON OST sucks big time. It’s some newbie composer I think. I would have enjoyed a Minami-ke-esque chamber ensemble with very light music, or even a Lucky Star-esque one with single instruments playing reealllllyyyy cheesy simple melodies.

Guin Saga does look promising, but like you, I think Sengoku Basara also looks to have some epic music.

So my picks would be Saki, Sengoku, Guin, and Eden for some good OSTs. Interestingly, I am also going to look at Queen’s Blade, I like the ED theme even if the anime sucks.
