>not skipping every Ali Project OP

She is worse and double as annoying than Yuki Kajiura.

A most deadly combo is though, when anime features both.

>>59670332
Guaranteed replies right right there.

While Ali Project is one of my favourite bands, most of their songs don't fit the shows they're featured in.

Besides, most of their anime songs have been pretty boring, it's kind of a shame since they have so many good stuff.

>>59670399
> She
There are two of them

I like Ali Project

Saw some people complaining about this in another thread.

Are they really that bad? I haven't heard any of their stuff and I've not watched this yet but I plan to.

JIBUN WOOOOOOOOO

>>59670424
>>59670452
Ali Project is good, too bad all they ever wrote was a mere one song.

>>59670424
I've heard people say before that their non-anime songs are good, but I'm having a very hard time believing that because all their anime songs are so impossibly bad.

Just skip the op. Most of them are shit anyway, it's not like you're missing out.

>>59670474
> I haven't heard any of their stuff
Why are you so new?

>>59670481
Like Nana Mizuki, and you see /a/ sucking her dick every time she does a song.

God damn that OP.

>>59670474
The OP for Another is horrible. It's not often I skip OPs, but I definitely will be for this one.
Show itself shows signs of promise, so I'll be following it.

>>59670399
Every song sounds the same without a fucking single trace of imagination thread?

This is exactly what I mean. Because of their mediocre anime songs, casuals like this >>59670481 think their songs sound like that all the time

>>59670496

I just tend to watch shows and not care about who sings the OP and ED. I don't care about studios either so when people complain about a certain studio I never have any idea what they're on about.

I have probably been here longer than you though.

Haven't heard much Ali Project, but "God Diva" from .Hack//Roots was god tier.

It manages to be worse than the Shigofumi OP.

So many teenage 14yo fujioshi in this thread..

>>59670536
No. Their songs are the same. Same kind of arrangement, same beat, same tempo, same kind of development, same kind of melodies, same pretentious lyrics....
Yes, they can't write more than one song.

Guys, why don't you just skip the OP?

ED song is great tier by the way

>>59670582
Are you calling the Shigofumi OP bad? If so, fuck you.

The Underwater release will be chaptered no doubt, so just fucking skip it.

>>59670537
This. If it picks my attention, I'll look it up and love it. If it's forgettable, well, I forget it. End of story.

>>59670536
If you think this shit is even mediocre, you don't deserve to live. It's absolutely pisspoor.

>>59670622
Yeah, the ED's pretty good.

>>59670612

But you're wrong. Listen to all the pre-Diletantte stuff. It's completely different from their newer stuff.

>>59670624
B-but it is.

Coppelia no hitsugi
Nagareru namida wa mou karehate

>>59670665
Fuck Ali Project. Gimme Touhu anime with Light Bringer ost.

>>59670537
>not care about who sings the OP and ED.
> don't care about studios either
That's like admitting how new you are.
And also if you have been here long enough, there will be no way in hell you missed Rozen Maiden's OPs. Both OPs. And of course there's also Code Geass.

Is hating on this just an unfunny meme? There's nothing special about the OP at all. Not notably good nor bad. Why so many thread making such a big deal out of it?

>>59670721
Here's /a/ with it's reverse trolls again. But I suppose it works, since most of /a/ is gullible as fuck

Very promising, looking forward to next episodes. Dat teacher's remark... But kinda annoyed of the girl already.
Anyway, for now this horror show definitely has one truly horrible thing. That damn opening

>>59670746
because you are a new fag. And because its not the first OP/ED ruthlessly killed by Ali Project. Its not even the 10th. This "meme" exists for years and its still true.

>>59670746
> Ali Project in charge of OP
> meme
It's never a meme of any kind. Think about Naruto or Elfen Lied.

>>59670746
Because you are such a gigantic newfag.

>>59670719

I was around when Code Geass was airing. The OP was forgettable so I forgot about it. I watch anime for the actual content. The soundtrack is much more important to me than the OP and ED.

>>59670801
They're not as nearly terrible as faylan + Zero no Tsukaima OP combo. They've been considerably terrible and ear-bleed inducing.

>>59670813
It was the ED though.
And when are OPED not a part of the soundtrack? They're supposed to be there to illustrate some of the actual content.

So, watch but skip OP? Does it have spoilers or just really terrible music? I don't follow you guys. I just got around to downloading it.

>>59670801
>>59670791
>newfag
I never pretended not to be. Cry all you want though. It still doesn't justify the amount of threads or even dropping a show because of you don't like the OP, that's just retarded. Skip it.

>>59670800
Those are all memes around here. You should look up the meaning of the word instead of acting like 4chan invented it and it only means popular reaction images and catchphrases.

>>59670902
It sets itself up rather well, the atmosphere's great and the animation is well done. It'd be worthwhile picking it up for at least the first 3/4 episodes to see how it goes.

>[Underwater]
This isn't going to have squid puns, is it?

>>59670860

Like I said, I don't tend to pay attention to them unless they really stand out. I'm not a huge fan of japanese music in general so I guess that's why I've never really bothered with them.

I was talking about the background music and to some extent the insert songs. The music I associate with things I'm seeing on screen is more important to me than the music the introduces the show.

>>59670910
> Can't distinguish "cultural norms" and "meme"

>>59670910
I think I know who you are. UiDrew?

>>59670813

I liked the actual Code Geass BGM more than JIBUN WOOO and so forth, so I agree with that thought.

>>59670986
You clearly can't. As expected of someone who needs >greentext to make snide remarks.

>>59671055
God, no. The fuck? I'll be dead before I'm caught tripfagging.

>>59671115
He's right about you not being able to distinguish between them though.

>>59671115
Implying > implication much? While it's true that you're on /a/, it doesn't mean you can ad hominem as a tool for arguing.
polite sage

>>59670902

Oh okay, you guys are clearly complaining about this awful music. At least it doesn't have spoilers in it or some shit, was about to be pissed

Here are some facts:

>Another looks good, but it'll suck.
>The another OP song sucks
>Ali Project was a good band in the 80s and 90s. Then, anime OPs became the cancer killing them.
>Ali Project was a good band in the 80s and 90s. Then, they became the cancer killing anime OPs.
>OP and ED are part of the official soundtrack cds, but should be not considered when you think about a show's soundtrack.

.>>59671187
>meme
>noun \ˈmēm\
>Definition of MEME
>: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture

Relentlessly bashing Naruto, Elfen Lied even if they are shit and apparently this band are not memes here? Tell me more.

>>59671249
> should be not considered when you think about a show's soundtrack.
It's not necessarily true though. Some animu use OP/ED as background musics.

I'm not joking when I say this. I think Ali Project released one awesome song some time ago in the past and has been remixing it and resampling it ever since then. and rereleasing it as a new single every time their money runs out.

>>59671284
Yes, they are memes.
And bashing anything bad is a meme too.
Dumbass.

>>59671337
>You are right
>Dumbass
You are a sore loser, but I'm glad you concede nonetheless.

You gotta work on that word structure.

>>59671284
Is the sun rising from the east a meme?
Facts are not memes.

FUCK ALI PROJECT

>>59671362
I was being sarcastic. I assumed you wouldn't be able to get it, so I put an insult for you to get it.
Seems it failed.

>>59671386
That's correct but your opinions are not facts, either.

It's probably the worst OP so far this year.

i dont even know hte name of the artists/studio/band but i assumed it was that shitty shit that i really cant explain.

a good show becomes mediocre and i dont even watch OP's.

>>59671463
So Naruto, Elfen Lied and Ali Project's OPED being bad are not facts now?
It's truly a sign of apocalypse.

>>59671473
why don't you put an email anymore?

>>59671386
Comparing the movement of celestial objects to behavioral patters on an image board? This can't even pass as a trolling attempt.

>>59671441
Which episode did gg put that in again?

>>59670332
I agree op. ALI project cannot into melody.

>>59671549
> behaviour
It was about shit being shit, not about /a/ thought shit being shit

>>59671530
Because it's redundant and makes it impossible to discern bumps from sage.

The only Ali Project opening I've ever liked was Noir's.

>>59671449
So you run out of arguments and resort to empty sarcasm?

Are you the same faggots who called me a newfag? Is this what being an oldfag is, trying to purposely dumb down the average posting quality of the board? We're anonymous, it won't hurt to admit you were wrong.

BREAKING NEWS: like 90% of anime OPs don't fit the show and are just an excuse for record companies to whore out some new single. Most of the music is shit, so if you don't like it FUCKING SKIP IT. Oh wait, this is /a/. People here can't even pass by a thread they don't like when it has a button to hide, they still come in and shitpost.

How bad must your taste in music be to dislike Ali Project?

And how gigantic a faggot do you have to be to make a thread on an image board dedicated to discussing anime in order to parade around your godawful taste in music?

>>59671622
I was pointing out that bashing something bad is not a meme (through the sarcasm you didn't get), hence hating Ali project is simply common sense and not a meme.
Why am I even trying...

>>59671622
What is the benefit of admitting you're wrong?
The pleasure of being cummed inside insulting others is also quite obvious.
And then there should be no regular oldfag left on /a/. The more you know.
they're all on /m/

>OP playing
Hey, this isn't so ba-
>Singing starts
Jesus Christ how horrifying.
I actually thought Kill me Baby's OP was bad, but this is a completely different level of shit.

The OP is pretty fucking bad it's not bad enough to drop a fucking show though.

>>59671441
Oh you've got to be kidding me, those morrons suck so much they didn't like CG's first ED?

Fuck me. Shit, those guys probably like Colours unironically.

Goes to show what you can expect from people who sub Umineko and then go and call Seitokai no Ichizon bad.

>>59671517
>Implying those are not facts

>>59671730
It was literally right after Shirley died and Lelouch screamed, so it kind of killed the mood in episode 13.

>>59671670
Hating Ali Project isn't "common sense", it is a sign of inferior taste.

But >>59671657 already pointed that out.

>>59670399
It's nice when people who only listen to the flashiest songs pretend to know something about Kajiura.

>>59671777
> Ali Project
> good taste
'sup, pleb?

>>59671596
The OP of the show is pretty average. When compared to most OPs out there, the hate isn't justified in any way, except for the fact that making a big deal out of this band seems to be a meme here.

>>59671670
You're clearly too idiotic to understand what the word meme means, even after I posted the definition.

>>59671713
That actually makes sense.

Their songs are fucking atonal

A lot of Japanese music is, but Ali Project pushes it to some sort of military grade, unlistenable extreme

>>59671811
>Ali Project
>anthing BUT good taste
'sup hipster?

>>59671791
I always thought everyone on /a/ should at least listen to some of her non-soundtrack ethnic shits though.
they still sound the same

>>59671838
Go back to listening to fucking Radiohead.

>>59671870
Sucks to be deaf.

Let's be honest, Ali isn't bad but every song sounds the same, and that's a huge problem for any musician.

Every ALI project op/ed
> minor keys, minor keys everywhere
> bad melody, horrible harmonies
> same fucking rhythm and tempo every time

sure is great music, right guize XD

>>59671939
No their songs don't, you're not going to fall for that, right?

>Ali Project has made around 15 songs featured in anime.
>Have over 400 songs.

Yeah, horrible band, all of their stuff sounds the same.

>ALI PROJECT
It's haunting me since, hell, Rozen Maiden? Fucking harpy.

Every song ever
>lead in to verse
>bridge, chorus into verse
>repeat

sure is great music, right guize XD

>>59671978
> around 15 songs featured in anime.
But that's wrong.

>>59671942
Try to troll harder, son. 80% of the songs follow that formula, especially in the more mainstream genres like pop and rock.

Hey, /a/.
Hey.
I thought this was the place where we bashed the plagiarism bitch that is Yoko Kanno?

>>59672023
> minor keys
> 80% of the songs
So, you're, like, only listen to funeral musics or something?

Well I think Ali Project is a bit... AUNT = KILLER

I just listened to the OP again just to check and it is really, really fucking average. You should refrain from talking about music in the future, /a/. You're worse than /mu/ at this.

>>59672037
Yeah, that cunt is fucking worth nothing. And I can't believe people are still getting mad at trolls saying they like it after all those years.

>>59671991

Ok, 30. your point? It's still a small percentage of the band's work.

I like the OP but I admit it could have been way better.

>>59672170
Yes. Just change the singer and everything will be alright.

Maybe we should ask /mu/ opinion on ALI PROJECT songs in pure musical terms.

>>59672194
J-pop shit. Don't bother them about it.

>>59671896
Radiohead is great.

No lie, the only time I've ever heard Ali Project really fit an anime was Rozen Maiden. And that's the only time--every other animu-related project of theirs sticks out like a sore thumb.

Shit was absolutely atrocious in Fate/Extra. Thank god I only had to hear it once.

>>59672194
I'm a regular on /mu/, and last time someone made a japanese music chart with ALI PROJECT in it, he got bashed pretty hard.

>>59672023
Um no they don't son.

>>59672241
J-pop is a pretty general umbrella term. There are just as much gems as there are shit in it, but too bad animu OP/ED are mostly on the shit side.

>>59672317
Agreed. 90% of everything is shit, etc. As far as japanese music goes I much prefer jazz, post-rock, shoegaze and electronic genres anyway.

Was merely stating what /mu/ would say about it.

>>59672399
> mu
> not prefer post modern avant-garde jazzcore

>>59672433
>/mu/
>not preferring mediocre indie rock

>>59672399
What is /mu/'s Boku no Gentoo though?

>>59672494
What a silly question

Is it just me, or did i read the logo as "mother"?

Bu,,, but... but... they were good and fitting rozen maiden...

The OP was pretty bad, but the music in the show itself made me feel very tense and uncomfortable. The atmosphere felt very stale and kind of like the feeling you get after you go to a funeral and saw the body for yourself.

I never watch horror anime/movies/play horror games so I might be the only one affected to that degree.

>>59672265
>Ali Project really fit an anime was Rozen Maiden
>fit
>Rozen Maiden
Are you deaf or what? The song still was terrible. I would trade every ALI PROJECT shit for something from Yousei Teikoku.

>>59672611
Both. Would you like to talk about it?

>>59672742
>stops to listen to Overture's OP
Nope, it fits. You just don't agree. And that's fine.

>>59672787
I think it will be important to the plot!

>>59672976
>Another => Mother
>Mother => Aunt
>Aunt = killer

>>59672742
No, it fits.
