I’ll make it short.

So like, I just read this article from the new poster on random curiosity and I (and some others) LOLd. Not that the ‘all stars’ composers list is bad, one can agree with it or not - guess it’s a matter of taste and maybe education, but here’s this thing that got me LOL:

This segment will open by focusing on one of the most overlooked workers in the anime industry: BGM composers.

Oh for Pete’s sake… overlooked? Is this a joke?

They are usually the first to get announced out of the staff with directors and writers, get 2 CDs per show and that’s ‘overlooked’ workers for you? Heck, some people watch shows because of certain composers! You say they are overlooked and yet you list some of the biggest names in the game (some of which even a person that doesn’t give a shit about music probably recognizes) - WHAT ON EARTH?

The only people who might be overlooking composers are those who don’t care about (anime) music at all, and… well, they still won’t care about it after a post like that so why bother with a ‘poor overlooked workers’ commentary? Calling composers one of THE MOST overlooked in the industry is retarded. Do you know any people responsible for animation or recording dialogue/sfx for anime? I for one don’t know any, so I’m completley overlooking them and I bet -almost everyone- else does too.

One also has to wonder, what’s with the rankings on ramdonc lately? From what I remember it used to be just anime episode summaries/impressions and random posts (on games, music, anime news)… Is Omni trying to get people to cover everything? Full game reviews/rankings coming soon?

Now back to checking sola’s OST…

PS: I’d normally post a thing like this in the comments on the other blog, but since randomc always flags me as spam, I did it here.
