Fall 2010's Anime Music Offerings – A Preview


This column makes its return after being on hiatus for so long!

It should also be noted that I really meant to write a Summer 2010 post, but I never got around to checking out many shows. Of the ones I did check out, Shiki proved to be very engaging because it nails the atmosphere right complete with Yasuharu Takanashi’s eerie vocal tracks. As for Occult Academy, that featured some pretty nifty piano work including some arrangements of classical pieces. Most of the composing for that show is done by Elements Garden, which has had their share of hits and misses, but so far, I’m digging the music. Ookami-san’s music was also supposed to be good (so says lelangir), but since I haven’t been following it, I can’t really comment. Yeah, I’ve been pretty detached from Summer 2010′s offerings. Maybe Fall can restore that spark.

With that in mind, here are my music-related thoughts for Fall 2010 with shows whose composers have caught my interest in some way, shape, or form. Obviously, using composers as a criteria for choosing which shows to watch is silly, but it might help knowing who is working on which shows to see just how much attention to pay to the music. More after the jump! Read More »
