As is becoming traditional, I replaced an intolerably bad video game song with a perfectly good anime opening theme song. Dance of Death from The Last Story by Nobuo Uematsu, in this case, fell victim to Dream Riser from Girls und Panzer by ChouCho.
I suspect I could find a dozen more songs to replace using this same technique if I wanted, but it's a trump card I want to hold in reserve in the case of truly appalling songs. I need to have replacements available for the remaining 900 songs after all, it wouldn't do to waste them all on only slightly underperforming samples.
How are there still so many bad songs left I'm only discovering now? The answer is I'm only really focusing on the songs right now, as I'm carefully judging each one as they play. Previously they'd only been background hums so I forgave a lot more than I'm willing to forgive now. This is the point of final exams, they're more rigorous than everything that came before. It would be weirder if I didn't find any problems this time through.
Today was a productive session with 100 new songs bitten off. 4600/5500. I also finished Triplanetary.
Looking forward, music will dominate all of December. November had lots of fun stuff, from new American tv, to new Sword Art Online novels, to tons and tons of football. But all that is drying up and there's really nothing slated for December except my self-generated activity of music hall of fame fashioning.
No new anime, manga, tv, books, video games or visual novels are debuting. It's an empty month where publishers go to die. In a way that's probably a good thing. I need to concentrate on my music hall of fame anyway.
