Why does the Gundam Franchise have such an excellent track record

>>14210898
I'm not sure about the original, but I'd certainly agree that overall the OSTs for Gundam series are excellent. Zeta, V Gundam, G Gundam, Wing, Turn A, etc. all had great background music.

>>14210900
Soldiers of Sorrow is a favorite of mine. Hence the inclusion.

Sunrise is a big studio that can afford to hire well-known composers like Kanno.

>>14210911
But its music is even comparable to that in the film industry. Better than most soundtracks from visual media in general.
True, Sunrise is rich. I won't deny that.
But is that all there is too it?

>>14210922
I'd say it's at least a respectable part of it; Kanno is a film composer herself after all; her discography on Wiki lists several movies.

It has it's down points as well, specially 0080 and 0083

Tomino has good taste in music.

>>14212185
He does. He actually has an ear for music, and composed all the OPs and EDs for most of the shows he's directed.

G-Reco's OST is great. There is a good deal of atmospheric music that you'd expect from a top-notch RPG. And of course the fantastic ED which should've been the OP.

>>14212192
Turn A Turn is still one of my all-time favorite openings. Does he also direct the visuals of his openings, though?

My favorite from Zeta.

>>14212192
Adding to that anon, he specifically wrote the lyrics under a pseudonym. Plus his pupil Imagawa also has nice musical taste.

Seriously, Tomino Anime has God tier music.

YOU BELONG TO ME

>>14212192
I think he just wrote the lyrics, not composed.

>>14210898
>Why does the Gundam Franchise have such an excellent track record when it comes to music?

Because score is almost everything when it comes to setting a scene.

Sometimes you get fuckups like CCA though.

>>14212888
Or 0080. Usually though even the worst Gundam shows tend to have fantastic scores.

>>14212587
>>14212883
Ah, I see; thanks for the correction.

I'm glad he takes such an interest in these things, considering that most OPs and EDs are picked for some sort music artist promotion shit.

>>14212888
Beyond The Time is the only song I really like from CCA and it's horribly butchered when it plays during the credits

>>14212888
>>14213319

You people are insane.

CCA has incredible music. It has the best orchestral work in the franchise.

>>14213325
>It has the best orchestral work in the franchise.
That's Zeta.

>>14213340
That's Victory.

>>14213382
That's [My particular favorite Gundam and not yours].

>>14213390
No, really. Zeta and Victory have two of the best soundtracks in Gundam but Victory edges out Zeta.

>>14213340
>>14213404
I like zeta's but I feel it's definitely way better utilized in the show along with the scenes rather than something listened to alone, where it feels a little bland. Surprised nobody has mentioned G Gundam's OST. It's so varied and great.

If there is any reason as to why I want Gundam to become popular in the west, it's so I don't have to travel to Japan to go see the concerts.

I really like the F91 Music

Fuck you space disco is great.

Can't find "A New World" from Zeta on youtube. What gives?

It's literally maximum comfy: the music. I want to live in a town whose soundtrack is that song.

Seed may suck but you have to admit the soundtrack is pretty good

>>14218158
It definitely had a number of standout tracks (Justice and Freedom is one of my favorites) but overall, I think Sahashi did a better job with his Big O and FMP soundtracks than he did on SEED.
