Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

Hello.
I'm quite obsessed with OSTs, of all kinds. Animes, video games, movies, musicals. I like to think I'm pretty knowledgeable about them too, and keep up with all the latest hot and special releases. Any like-minded people out there?

In memoriam: Malcolm Arnold

Was Malcolm Arnold related to David Arnold?

I love David's stuff; Stargate and Independence Day are still some of my favorite soundtracks. And I really wish 4 July fireworks coordinators would realize how patriotic the ID:4 OST is, considering they use stuff like 1812 all the time that's great and all but is really about Napoleon's army fleeing Moscow, but I digress.

I'm not as obsessed with OSTs as I once was, but I do love them and have a sizable collection, mostly from scifi movies. Some of my anime faves are Mushishi and Symphony Seed, which is Gundam Seed themes performed by the London Symphony. But Akira still takes the cake. Geinoh Yamashirogumi is god.

Aside: HeeroJF, your name sounds familiar. Do I know you from somewhere, say GWA? (Experimental=RedCancer)

Apparently, no, there's no relation between the two Arnolds. Yes, Stargate and ID4 was also among my favourites. But I think I like Godzilla and The Musketeer even more. For different reasons of course, but they're both so spectacular.

I *still* don't have Akira to this day!! I really should seek it out. And I don't have the Gundam Seed ones you mention, either. I just love Kou Ootani's work on GundamWing though (and Outlaw Star).

Wow, GWA? GundamW Addiction? Wow that was a long time ago! Let's see, what was your name on there? I was indeed very deeply involved with that community for a while. But I -think- cosplay.com is when I used the name "HeeroJF" for the first time.

I was RedCancer on GWA. I say was but I guess I still am, just haven't been there in several months. . . . Good times, though.

Did they ever come out with a Godzilla soundtrack that was just the score? I kept looking for that months after the movie came out but never had any luck. . . . Which reminds me I need to get ahold of Halo 2, vol 2. Halo 2 is another one I love to death. I think it goes nicely with Black Hawk Down.

The GW soundtrack is great. You can definitely see a progression from that to Seed, though. I have the feeling if they had been serious enough about Wing to do a symphonic suite it would have been godly. If you're interested in Akira, I can always make you a copy.

Oh yeah, and FLCL, at least the Pillows' contribution. Just about everything they do is so catchy, you can't stay in a bad mood if you're listening to the Pillows.

A big OST fan here! I will definitely agree with Experimental about Akira. It is Godly ^.^ I have lots of music from various animes and video games. A lot of it is instrumental, but I don't care it is just too sweet XD. Back when I was 16 I used to workout to Rhythm Emotion in my Heero out fit ^_~

I don't know if I'm a NUT or not...but I DO Like the OST from Bleach, particularly Gin Ichimaru's music and some of the songs that Ichigo did with Zangetsu.....~Sighs~ They have such smexy voices....and the songs sound rather cool too....(But for a while now I've been going through a Gackt craze type thingy...OO don't know how long it will last....)
