I couldn't really decide the best place to put this. The thread is for the wedding of music and animation/film. Its a really interesting phenomena that happened from the mid 70s to the early 90s and still continues in japan. The US seems to have dabbled in it in the 80s and early 90s. There is something fascinating about a show's best music and animation being dumped into a 90 second intro or series climax.
It probably started in the 30s with Betty Boop.
It is also nice when real musicians pare animation with songs
I would post the intro for Nichijou, but everything on youtube is way less insane than whatever bootleg I used to have.
So you get this.
I fucking LOVE this song.
Interstella 5555 is still one of my favorite things ever...
Aniamtion?
Yes.
you know, I thought about ti more today, and perhaps music and film/video is the oldest type of animation/film?
Silent movies with music predate "talkies" by quite a bit
You've been, almost exclusively, posting bonged out musings for days now. What's going on?
when do I not post bonged out musings?Quote:

Couldn't find a decent quality version so this will have to do. The amazing thing about this opening is how little animation is actually in it, but how good it looks anyway.
And this one which is weird and wrong and disturbingly good-
speaking of weirdness.
Man, anime had some weird closing credits. Like Gungrave's run through the fields ending (yes, gungrave, where your undead cowboy kills mafia drugged out undead)
or whatever this was

Outside the first episode, Gungrave is about two friends who join the mob, with some zombies near the end. You should watch it, it's good.
