I for one am pretty pumped about this OAV. I also think the music is a pretty good fit for Code Geass too. It may be a different story once I see it though. Laughing


If i recall, Code Geass had some jazz elements as part of it's original soundtrack.

also, amazing soundtrack to this video. if they really go that route and incorporate free jazz elements into the ost, i would be a happy panda.


You and I both. It's a unusual and fairly daring choice for something like this, but it could have such a cool, distinct feel. I could imagine it helping to given the battles a dangerous, chaotic feel.

I can understand why other people might find it alienating. The more adventurous schools of jazz aren't very accessible.


as right as it might be that this form of jazz might not be the most accessible one, i think that- once you get past the confusion and raw energy- it is easier to lose yourself in music like that. i don't have the slightest clue as to whose records i should track down to listen to it at home but whenever i hear this sort of jazz i immediately connect to it. you need no theoretical knowledge to appreciate it because it's just so out there that it simply disregards most rules. it's no wonder that a lot of the more experimental bands in extreme music tend to reference free jazz.


Experimental jazz can be like some people to heavy metal (not Japanese pseudo-heavy metal). Laughing

I'm a huge fan of Code Geass. It's actually my favourite anime of all time. But this spinoff doesn't look too good. For one the artstyle is a bit bland and green looking. Lelouch of The Rebellion was really colourful but this looks a bit dark and boring in comparison. The mecha battles also seem a bit meh. The CGI looks alright but the actual fighting looks kind of boring. As a huge fan of the show I'll probably still watch it but my expectations are pretty low
