Well, that was awful.
It's a dull episode anyway but that music was almost Faulconer levels of wall-to-wall placement.
Uchiyama's awful artwork tinted green didn't help either.
Very depressing.
I simply can't get over the logic behind putting fucking techno music in Goku's return scene. That's a touching moment Toei, you don't put techno music during a TOUCHING MOMENT!
FUNi dub's score was far better than that crap, Sumitomo. Seriously. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlK7a9-taOU

Pretty sure Goku coming back to life was supposed to be touching, Toei.

Re: Kai Episode 102 (27 April 2014)
Wow, completely forgot that this was on.
Gotta be honest guys, I've already lost interest in this...the music, the lower budget; it's all been a real turn off and I just feel like I can't be bothered with it anymore. I might tune in again when the fighting starts, just to see how they're done musically- hoping that some of my favourite pieces from BOG will turn up.
Interest will definitely be revived when FUNimation's dub rolls around, but for now, I'll only occasionally be watching an episode if anything notable comes up.

Something tells me it's gonna be futile to defend kai anymore, so I'll wait until I can watch the episode, but if Ajay is correct, I'm gonna hate this episode with a PASSION, Techno music when Goku comes back?....

Once again, here's an album of screenshots from the episode.
And also, here's a video of that the Goku/Goten reunion in all its 'glory' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WajinTxvRKI
Eurgh, it's so bad.
I couldn't find a clip of the Z version in Japanese for comparison but here's a clip from the Mexican (?) dub - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGAQnnMjJy8
Gets the tone across absolutely fine and demonstrates just how terribly they handled this scene in Kai.

Whoa, holy crap...I'm normally not near as harsh on music as a lot of you are I think, but...dear lord that's awful.AjayLikesGaming wrote:And also, here's a video of that the Goku/Goten reunion in all its 'glory' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WajinTxvRKI
I mean, I guess the music itself isn't bad, but it doesn't fit the scene. Like...at all. Just about everything Falcouner and crew ever did at least fit better than that.

Re: Kai Episode 102 (27 April 2014)
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I can actually get behind the idea of having the music go for an upbeat feel for that scene rather than a touching one. So, in theory, at least, it's not something I disagree with. But once again, the music itself is just not all that good. Sigh.

Man oh man what's with the music it sounds so bad smh. The music used for this scene in the funimation dub and the ocean dub sounded better then this.AjayLikesGaming wrote:Once again, here's an album of screenshots from the episode.

I like that they tried to have an electronic upbeat song but that constant UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ beat just doesn't work and I don't know why. It just feels so video-gamey.

I'm honestly just looking forward for the dub when funimation releases it.
Re: Kai Episode 102 (27 April 2014)
According to Nagasaki the music was placed by Motoyama Satoshi.Black_Liger wrote:This episode was.... atrocius... and that´s coming from someone who supported the music at first.....

Anyway, the music placement is awful as usual. The actual editing of the footage was great, though.

Re: Kai Episode 102 (27 April 2014)
Instead of savouring the moment, it feels like the music and the editing is trying to rush us through the scene, as if we're watching some sort of clip show. How I miss Yamamoto's score...I think having the orchestral version of Dragon Soul playing over this scene would've been magic. Hell, I didn't even think the Kikuchi-mix for Kai was all that bad- it was just a bit weak in parts.AjayLikesGaming wrote:And also, here's a video of that the Goku/Goten reunion in all its 'glory' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WajinTxvRKI

Wow, I feel like I'm starting to care less and less about this. I actually enjoy FUNimation's dubbing for the Buu arc as well, so...

I give up. I absolutely give up.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

We heard another one piece of orchestra now, the one with mr satan, but the sound director (which people tell me might not be yukio nagasaki) just refuses to make a good placement

Re: Kai Episode 102 (27 April 2014)
Yeesh. I don't mind the music itself so much, it strikes me as generic ambience which isn't bad to have for this portion of the show...but it's certainly not the right choice for that scene. It really reminds me of something you'd here during a character select screen in a fighting game.AjayLikesGaming wrote:Once again, here's an album of screenshots from the episode.

Is it just me, or is this episode really... undersaturated?
I mean, Goku's undershirt is almost gray here.
