Well this one passes the OST rating with flying colors compared to the previous one's we've listened to! Wow. Yoshihiro Ike is a musical lord because damn...he got right to the point with these tracks and had us entranced.
He isn't a God compared to original creator, Osamu Tezuka, though. I think we spent just as much time talking about Tezuka and Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi) as we did the OST this time. There's just so much information and cool shit happening in this episode ya'll!
This remake of the 1969 anime is jam packed with action, emotional damage (queue meme), and beautiful music. This is something Garrett and Emily can most certainly agree on.
Please check this shit out...ESPECIALLY if you haven't seen it yet! Go watch it on Amazon Video and THEN come back to listen to our musical breakdown. Peace out y'all!
Final Rating: 6.25/7

Finishing out this series (so far) in style with season 2 of Fire Force. We want answers for a lot of things; all the way from how the artists for the OP/ED’s get their inspiration to why this OST was kind of a "goat noise." We were not mad at this OST but we heard the first one, and we want to know where that spark went from returning composer, Kenichiro Suehiro.
Aimer’s OP is by far our favorite from this season…why did season 1 get all the good themes!!?? More questions and less answers. We always tell you what we think but above else, we are grateful that the director switch up didn’t affect the integrity of the animation/script. We absolutely love Fire Force, especially because it ties into our very first episode, so when you have a storyline so cool, sound design that blows your ears right off of your head and then you have music that doesn’t hold it’s own, it can be a bit disappointing.
Garrett and Emily have differing opinions on this OST, while we agree it's lacking luster, Garrett says the overuse of modulation makes it boring while Emily says the dynamics and modified motif sprinkled into the OST makes up for it. But we came to a consensus. We don’t hate it. We just think some aspects could be better and we hope that with season 3 in production, they absolutely kill it overall. I’d like a 7/7 for that one please, Suehiro-kun!
We go over some personal shortcomings and achievements within our weekly ramblings but as we state in the episode, we are eternally grateful for your continued listening through this transitional period. Stay tuned for updates about scheduling and upcoming episodes! We strive to give you the best we have and sometimes that means tweaking the system. We love you all and hope your week is full of music, anime and good times!
Final rating: 4.5/7

We told you we wouldn't do it often and we haven't but this one is important, y'all. As we adjust to our new schedules and the things life just decides to pummel us with, we bring you an iconic song from Adventure Time (Emily fails epically in the episode so we'll cut to the chase here 😅).
Full of raw emotion and angst, I'm Just Your Problem represents the daily criticisms that we face on the daily and how we choose to respond to them. It evokes true passion from Marceline toward Princess Bubblegum but I think we can take something away from it IRL. Sometimes releasing our true feelings in the moment is best, but one thing to take away is that we all need that stress release, no matter the craft or method.
So, smoke something, paint your masterpiece, sing your heart out. It doesn't matter, but maybe while you're doing it, take a minute to hear our words. We don't have it all figured out yet either, but I hope you find solace in that!
If you haven't seen Adventure Time, have you been living under a rock? JK JK but seriously. Do that. And THEN listen to our analysis. This song pops up in Season 3, Episode 10, titled "What Was Missing." There will definitely be more analyzing of the AT but maybe next one will be....Steven Universe, anyone? Rebecca Sugar is literally the best so probably. 😂

Our most raw, unedited, "no fuggs given" episode so far. It was just one of those kinda weeks, ya know?
*WARNING* This episode contains quite a few SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen this awesome movie DO NOT LISTEN!
If you were fortunate enough to catch this movie in theaters then you already know just how BAD ASS of a production it was. Especially the music. This OST was sooo much better than the one for the series which really caught Garrett off guard because it was the exact same audio team!
They constantly kept us on the edge of our seats with this emotional musical roller coaster. No, roller coaster is a massive understatement. This was more like a scene out of a sci-fi movie where the protagonist exits hyperspace right into an asteroid field and they have to avoid dying while moving at breakneck speeds.
This OST was all over the place. And we don't mean from one piece to the next, we mean abrupt, "hard-left" changes in the middle of 1-2 minute pieces. Experimental, fundamental, dramatic, moving, and just down right fun, yet somehow they still maintained that level of mature restraint throughout each composition that screams professionalism.
But, for as much as we enjoyed analyzing this OST, it still was missing a couple elements that would have let it compete with the S tier, God tier, upper echelon of film scoring.
Grab them phones and let's listen!!

It's the first episode of Season TWO, y'all!! We are back!
Yes, I know we went on a much longer hiatus than we originally anticipated, but hopefully you didn't curse us too much. Even if you did, we're just going to channel all that cursed energy into this episode! That's right, this week we are jamming out to Jujutsu Kaisen and serving up a saucy review of season 1's sonic sorcery.
There was a lot of audio to unpack from this Anime --2 OPs, 2 EDs, and over 2.5 hours of an OST-- and we listened to all of it. Quite honestly, this is one of our favorite new-gen Animes and although we had a ton of compliments, we had quite a few critiques as well. The audio team for this project is definitely a top tier, A-level team. The sonic realm that they built for a "cursed world" is a powerful domain that truly captures the audience in its expansion. Some of the musics they composed are genuine masterpieces. I don't know if it was a time constraint, the pressure from the studio to meet deadlines, or just a lack of focus on some very key moments of the show, but there were quite a few "dropped the ball" moments when listening to these songs in context. That ultimately lead to our final verdict when scoring this audio.
This season of the Anime Noise Podcast we have developed a new rating system for our anime reviews. Everything we review will be ranked on a 7★ [star] scale...if you don't understand why then you're too young to listen to this podcast lol
Strap on the cans, let's jam!

The LAST ANIME REVIEW of the first ever season of the ANIME NOISE PODCAST. This week we breakdown the music from a super gory, very philosophical sci-fi thriller called Parasyte: The Maxim. This ""Netflix original"" is based off the award winning 80's manga Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki. Rumors claim that the main character, Migi, could have been inspired by a real life medical condition called "Alien Hand Syndrome" where the sufferer has a hand that acts on its own without the person's control. Crazy, right?
Anyway, although we weren't huge fans of how OST 1 was used in context with the anime, OST 2 kicked ass and we had piles of notes about this score and the spectacularly challenging art of film scoring for anime.
It has been such a pleasure reviewing anime with you all for an ENTIRE YEAR! And although this is the last review, FEAR NOT my fellow weebs! We're going out with a bang and starting a brand new tradition... the ANIME NOISE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!
So strap on the cans, enjoy the sci-fi sounds of Parasyte, and tune in next week for the season finale of Anime Noise.

This week we dove REAL hard into the gory, Halloween vibes with this very bloody and freaky anime! The OST is nothing short of true horror although we don't think the OP and ED matched what everything else put down.
We apologize in advance for the lightning. However, with a little bit of tinkering on Garrett's end, we made it work. It's the least he could do after being so afraid of the lightning. :) Hehe
If you haven't seen Another yet, please give this anime some love this October because it is the perfect way to get into the season, as long as you don't mind a lot of bloody, gruesome, brutal deaths. Then come back around and listen to us break down the OST that was filled with rule-breaking goodness and the right kind of vibes to send shivers up your spine.
Let us know what you think!

Thank you all for requesting this one, especially @gabrielcolon22. I know we took our sweet time getting to it, but I'm glad we waited because...
This anime deserves ALL THE HYPE!! Not only does it open (and close the season finale) with one of the most iconic songs in anime history, the OST as a stand alone album took us completely by surprise and quite honestly has helped us in standardizing an actual grading scale for all the OSTs we've listened to so far. And it only took us 50 episodes to dial one in lol.
You will definitely want headphones for this episode. The sound design is impeccable!

This week we are reviewing High School of the Dead!! An absolutely perfect segue out of our extra ecchi escapades and into the horror filled happenings of Halloween!
This series is a roller coaster of ups and downs. From Takashi's tent in his pants constantly getting ruined by zombie attacks to the awesome OP and album of ED's, but a "D" grade soundtrack, AND we got to witness a super kick ass first season, but the story might be forever left unfinished due to Sato, the author of the manga, tragically passing away from heart disease.
Although there are rumors of a second season going back into production, we certainly aren't getting our hopes up, but Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets just re-recorded the OP so who knows?
Go dim the lights and crank the stereo. It's time to kick off spooky season in style!!

Our 4th installment of the Food, Fate, Fire and Fetish month!
We kinda flew through part 2 of Fate/Stay Night UBW. Not because it was bad or anything, actually it was pretty freaking incredible, ngl. We only had two tiny critiques which were hardly a big deal and probably just Garrett's nit-picky ass opinion. We also, got to talk about a new ani-band called Aimer! They are sooooo good and have an amazing vocalist. This OP actually landed in Oricon's top 5.
Go grab some quality cans and let's get to it!!
Oh and P.S....We can't wait to see you all at the Ecchi Expo this Saturday!

The anime series that inspired the Anime Noise Podcast!! We are doing the first season of Fire Force this week! This series should be known as the "gold standard" of sound fx in the anime industry. Seriously, people should study this in sound design school. It's unique, it's creative, it's world-building, and it's used to enhance the music in the OST!
The soundtrack was done very well and, although it only earned a B as a stand alone album, we realized just how versatile the composer can be and came to the conclusion that the sum of the anime's parts (music+sfx+story+animation) make this anime a top tier Shonen that surprisingly flew under the radar in popularity.
This baby also has some super heavy OP's and ED's that truly add to the adrenaline inducing thrill ride that is this series. So grab your headphones and let's get to dissecting!!

Yes I know, we started the original Fate/Stay Night cause we wanted to do that one first, but there were so many unanswered questions and important differences that we ended up jumping ship to hop aboard Unlimited Blade Works. And god damn are we happy we did!!
The animation is phenomenal, the music is so much better and it follows the manga a bit better in my opinion. At least character wise...granted, we haven't read the manga we've just read a lot about it.
In this episode, we break down our 3 favorite tracks from OST 1 and teach you a few industry tricks that play with your audio psychology. Tricks like ASMR and how to cause jump scares. Garrett was nervous about the composer change for this series, but they ended up killing it.
So grab your headphones and join us on our deep dive into the audio of Fate/Stay Night ~Unlimited Blade Works~ [S1].

It's here! It's finally here!! The first installment of our "Food, Fate, Fire, and Fetish" month!! On this episode we break down 2 whole OST's worth of music...not cause we wanted, but because we know you wanted it...also because that's what season 1 gave us and we rolled with it.
In this episode, we give you the intro you've always wanted, the breakdown of music that felt kind of stale but also rocks your face off. And then some tracks that really put you in the middle of a kitchen setting. It's awesome. We know. Garrett somehow incorporated an audio psychology lesson, so that may be worth your time. (lol) Regardless of anything, this was a fun episode to record and share with you especially on the culinary aspect from Emily being incorporated into the music as well. All around fun and we hope you enjoy it. There's more where this comes from in November!!! Gobble gobble, bitch.

This week we finish out the 3 disc masterpiece by Yuki Kajiura! We also discuss the musical group Kalafina, the genius behind the musical language "Kaijiuran," and the fact that there's a website dedicated to worshipping Yuki herself. Rightly, so! She's a freaking elegant beast of a musician.
Also, Garrett helps us all understand the process of film scoring a bit better, how to make a show more musical and Emily officially announces the upcoming ANP schedule all the way through October!
P.S. I really can't wait for next month! In honor of the Ecchi Expo here in Austin, TX, September will be "Food, Fate, Fire, and Fetish" month!!

We finally did it! We made it to the last arc of the Hunter x Hunter series and, man...what a relief it is to finish this project. No, not because it was bad, most of the music was pretty decent and very interesting, it was just such a royal pain in the ass to put into the same order as the anime.
So on that note, enjoy the final pieces of Yoshihisa Hirano's wonderful addition to the HxH anime series.

We're trying something a little different with this series and decided to pump out the review as we finish watching each part. Partially because we've discovered that there's 3 or 4 suggested ways to watch the Fate series and we wanted to chart a course for you.
We have nothing but praise for this phenomenal anime series! Oh and the OST? God tier, baby. Garrett even said, "of all the OST's we've done so far, this has become his favorite." There's some serious weight behind that statement. He's a bit of a critic and doesn't say stuff like that lightly.
So grab a pair of high quality headphones...read that again...don't disrespect this masterpiece with those nasty ass air pods, or skull candies, or beats. I swear music is the best it's ever been and yet you choose to listen to it with "McDonalds" level audio gear. Get your ish together.
P.S. If any of our listeners know how to rap or know someone that does, please rap over the song played in our intro. It's track number 8 on disc 1 of the OST.

A surprisingly entertaining anime with A BOMB of an OP, a great ED, and kind of a lack-luster OST. It honestly had a few awesome pieces, but most of it sounded pretty generic, monotonous and honestly they really over used the bandoneon. Either way, you should definitely watch the anime even though there probably won't be a season 2.
Just a heads up, we do spoil the manga ending at the end of the episode, but there is plenty of warning if you plan on reading it and want the surprise.
Oh yeah, here's a little message for Jorge: I told you, our mics are so good they can pick up a fly fart. Keep your ears peeled.

Season 2 has caused quite the controversy in the anime world, a pretty dumb controversy since the debate is only about which season was better. We can answer that right now for you, they're both great as fuck. Both seasons have aspects that are better than the other, but whatever category you're comparing them in, the differences are within a few points. The one thing that is inarguable: the OSTs are fucking FIRE! And Saitama actually sings the ender!
We had so much fun listening to this OST and we know you will, too! So grab your cans or your buds and let's get to the jams!!

This is a message to all the artists, musicians, and creators of any kind: JUST START.
Our first ever flash episode! We probably won't do it very often, but whenever we do an Anime Noise episode we want to bring you high quality, heavily researched, thoroughly analyzed breakdowns of the anime in question. And honestly, over the past week or two we had a little hangup and were in too much of a time crunch, so we decided to branch out of the anime realm to bring an important take away from another one of our favorite animated shows, Rick and Morty.
We also used this episode as an opportunity to introduce you to a brand new project that we have JUST STARTED. A project that has a lot of potential. An idea that we are very proud of. And a production that we are going to need some help with, from you, our listeners.
So go grab your headphones and be amazed by Garrett's impromptu beat boxing skills. Oh and if you haven't seen the show, go watch it!! You can stream it from Hulu or Amazon Prime and it's also on Adult Swim. This episode in particular is from season 2, episode 5 titled "Get Schwifty."

What a DOOZY of an episode! This week we had the pleasure to host our 2nd guest and 1st athlete to the show. The hard hitting, fumble causing, super talented line backer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the wholesomest family man on the planet, Joe Jones, helps us break down Part 1 of his favorite anime series!
"We had such a freaking blast on this episode!" Is what we'd like to say...but that would be the understatement of the year!! Seriously, shout out to Preston Hargrove for getting all of us acquainted we cannot thank you enough. Like Preston, Joe is a humble, down to mars human who is incredibly easy to talk to. And, although we did our best to stay on track, we inevitably let the conversations veer off into realms outside of anime.
We talked about everything from Joe's pie/sweets cravings, the size of Tom Brady's animal sacrifices, sports injuries, the dark easter eggs in kids' movies, and even Joe's love/hate relationship with timpani. Garrett even got double points for his analysis of the OPs and EDs.
Talking with Joe about music and anime truly solidified the idea that music is the only human language that transcends race, creed, religion and culture. Thank you so much for joining us, Joe. We look forward to listening to your upcoming podcast and can't wait to have you back for part 2!!
