Favourite Anime OST
Eledhrim:
Like Megaton in Fallout, or something...In the colour scheme at least. I think...I don't know.
I understand, anyhow.

For my overall favourite, I think I have to go with The Vision of Escaflowne's soundtrack. It managed to not just set the scenes well, but to impart a greater sense of the "epic" nature. There's many other soundtracks I dearly like, but Escaflowne's comes out on top.

What I meant to say was not that you need a decent soundtrack to enhance the anime experience (which is true btw), but rather that there are a lot of good standalone soundtracks that can be misused, misplaced, overused etc, and thus doesn't qualify as good anime soundtracks in my eyes. Take Ged Senki for example, wonderful score, and great to listen to, but terribly malplaced in the anime. I also like Saiunkoku Monogatari soundtrack, but I never even noticed it in the anime itself.
To mention more famous animes I could mention practically all BeeTrain animes where it is terribly overused despite being having great tunes, and the praised Kara no Kyoukai which I honestly find terribly overrated. What is misused, misplaced, overused etc is personal though, just like taste in general.

Whether or not I should have, I've never heard of The Vision of Escaflowne.
High fantasy adventure or something, yeah?
Which reminds me, I always hoped for more Epic Adventure anime shows. One long 'quest' to be told over the course of the story. I suppose of the ilk of Seirei no Moribito. I had hoped to find it in shows such as Gina Densetsu Weed but have yet to find another series long anime with only one focus.

Now I understand. My bad. But, whereas I haven't seen many of BeeTrain's Anime's I have watched .Hack//Sign. Personally, I found the soundtrack to that absolutely splendid! It complimented the series brilliantly! Quite hollow and detached often, but complimented the mood and themes of the Anime. Unless I'm talking absolute rubbish, of course.
