~*~ Reviews & Meta (manganime + music)

[1i1ac]

As you may have noticed if you're based in those aspects of the fandom, so far this community only has a couple of link posts in regards to the RoV manga/anime and the music of the series. Personally I'm mainly educated out in the musical(s) canon which does explain the giganormous Takarazuka introduction post. However, I know that most fans are

I am a huge fan of the soundtrack

What do you mean by meta? I am comfortable writing reviews of tracks, provided I have the correct track list, I have seen different numbering of the background music tunes in the different zips I grabbed.

What I have a little problem with is that the same 'track' can contain different tunes. Don't know why this is done. I understand this is not uncommon (other anime soundtracks are like that) but I would have preferred to have them split into single tunes

I really love certain aspects of the soundtrack as well, although I'm not a big fan of the anime itself.

Meta is a fan term for all sorts of reviews, "academic" thoughts or argumentation in regards to a fandom canon. As such, meta concerning the music could be everything from an analysis of main numbers (like the opening and ending tunes) to a collection of thoughts on the background music for certain scenes or even a discussion of the voices of the various singers.

If you want to start out lightly, perhaps something like a review of the main songs of the soundtrack? I know that I would be very interested in reading something like that. :)

What I do for my community is a match between songs (but we do have more than 6 cds of material) and a poll to vote for each couple of song.

With ROV it's impossible because some in some tracks you have 3 tunes together that sometimes have nothing to do with each other

Would definitly be up for meta - as mentioned I know the anime best but have definite influences from the manga. I'll have a think about things I could do.
