Do you think the Kikuchi score detracts from the Cell Games

Post by Nex Carnifex » Wed Jun 20, 2012 10:26 pm

Do you think it adds to the grim feel of the Cell Games or detracts? What would you prefer watching it in, the Yamamoto score or the Kikuchi score?

Obviously with the original soundtrack, i.e, Kenji Yamamto's music but Kikuchi's score in Cell is fitting because they BGMs they used were from Cell's arc.

After an awful lot of bad placements we get decent to great Kikuchi music on episodes 95-98, on episode 92 being one golden part of Kai and they screwed that moment with the random BGM they placed on it. To be honest, I just got into Kai Part 8 with episodes 95-98 the others were.. Watchable with Kikuchi's score. :?

Episode 96 has the best music placement of any episode of Kai.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Disagree. Episode 97 does of all, has more variety and better placements, not too much repetition of the regular BGMs usually heard. 97 > 98 > 96

I disagree to that. The episode has too many pieces of music on it and lacks silence. It almost feels like the Hindi dub of DBZ. I guess they just filled up every moment that had music in Z. You know, they re-edited the whole episode immediately after the earthquake occured, so they must have had no time to think of the amount of musical pieces.

I do.

It's also why they're the closest to best Kikuchi Kai placements.
