It’s time again for my annual Halloween video! This time I took a page out of my first year’s Halloween fare, Hellsing, with a review of Hellsing Ultimate, the 10-episode more-accurate-to-the-manga adaptation of Kouta Hirano’s manga. It’s big, it’s loud, it’s kind of silly, but it’s oh so compelling, a monster mash with an operatic flair. So pour a bowl of mini Kit Kats, open a pumpkin beer, and let’s watch an OP mega-vampire fight Nazis! Hey, if you’re going to be a denizen of a undead horde, don’t also be a bigot!

Otaku Revolution’s Top 15 Anime Soundtracks: 15-11

#15 – The Big O (Tosihiko Sahashi)
Okay, so it’s first theme song is ripped from Queen’s Flash Gordon theme song and the second season’s theme music is the dark match version of the theme from Gerry Anderson’s UFO. Call those “homages”, damn it. It’s obvious that The Big O borrows from various sources, not the least of which being Batman: The Animated Series (which Sunrise animated some of). But let that be a testament to the variety you’ll find both in the show and its soundtrack. Want sultry, sexy sax? Want suspensful movie serial music invoking shades of Bernard Hermann? What about a track that’s an obvious rearrangement of “La Merseillaise”? And this hodgepodge doesn’t feel anything at all like a hodgepodge, with its judicious use throughout the 26 episode run of the program (which would have been longer if Mike Lazzo didn’t have a hard on for two particularly unfunny “comedians”). The show’s soundtrack might not give you what the title of the show promises, but you’ll be satisfied nonetheless.
Gentlemen.
How are you gentlemen?
Gentlemen, I like Pokémon.
Gentlemen, I like Pokémon.
Gentlemen, I love Pokémon.
I like Turtwig.
I liek Mudkips (who doesn’t?).
I like aggresive Pokémon.
I like defensive Pokémon.
In fields, on bicycle roads, in caves, on tundra, in desert, on sea, in sky, in mud, in abandoned power plants.
I like single battles, I like earning money. I like withdrawing, I like changing up. I like running away from wild Pokémon too strong for my newbies. I love every aspect of Pokémon, save for the cartoon past the first season, or the puzzle games.
