The REAL Banzai soundtrack Posted Fri Aug 31 00:15:04 BST 2001 by 'Sexually Pleased'

Here's a great idea for a small project for us. Channel 4 put together a big twatfest trendy Banzai soundtrack, but I bet we could come up with a compliation list for the really esoteric stuff that got mentioned on the show.

I could mention Voices by Yoko Kanno for one (the really beautiful vocal track from Macross Plus). They also featured the opening chords from Moonlight Legend, the theme tune to Sailor Moon. Sadly they used the American version, which replaces the lyric:

"Sorry if I'm not being subtle,
If we were in a dream I could say it,
And just before my feelings short-circuit,
I have to meet you right away"

...with...

"Fight evil by MOON light,
Winning love by DAY light,
Never running from a REAL fight,
She is the one-named-Sai-lor-Moon!"

Pardon me while I go and renounce my 15 years' anime fandom and kill myself.

ooh ooh, can we get an anime thread going? macross plus was on the sci-fi channel the other week, but i don't have sky, so i didn't see it, i understand it's good though.

i do have the new special edition of akira. it's very good, i know for a fact there are so many extras i won't bother going through all the storyboards and stuff.

I bought the DVD, and sadly the episodes are SO much more slow moving than the movie. I wish they'd bring the movie out on DVD.

Mahou Tsukaitai is a piece of comedy genius, even if it is Harry Potter meets the Carry On movies. Mind you, nothing wrong with either of those. You can also get all of Bastard! on one disk now, which is noteworthy for A) The stupidest master-villain deathtrap ever, and B) Having at least as much nudity for the female fans as for the male fans.

If you want to see a really, really, really good piece of anime comedy lately, go and download some Inu Yasha. It takes the usual Rumiko Takahashi formula of the hard-as-nails but immature hero and the mature heroine. However, this one is has characters and plot which are still developing properly and fast, after TWENTY EPISODES.

It's the first track on "Avant Hard" by Add N to X, although the name of the thing escapes me for now. It's a decent album, although it might have you chewing the furniture if your wackiness tolerance threshold is low.
