Took your adv. on getting AIR OST and ordered it from one of your links (Himeya (sp?)) in a previous post. $49 all in to Dublin. Arrived quick too. Is the Kanon OST any good?

Unrelated but just found out so I have to say… Haibane Renmei - Vol. 1 Region 2 DVD has a release date of 18/04/2005 ! Woohoo! Finally becoming available in the UK & ROI !!

Keep up the good work as always Fred!

The first FLCL OST CD is great. The second one is pretty good as well, but it’s kind of a mix of ‘drama’ tracks of the VAs performing skits (in Japanese with no translation), as well as additional music tracks. But the tunes on there are awesome nonetheless. Both volumes have been released in the US, so you can get them online for about $15 a piece. So yeah, it’s volume 2, so it won’t have as much of the good stuff as volume 1, but it’s still pretty good.

Other series’ OSTs may have to be imported, but if you’re patient, the more popular series are also run in the US. And the import stuff is *hideously* expensive. The Japanese record companies sure know how to gouge every last penny out of a fan. So yeah, do your research first. This is an area where impulse buys can really cost you.

If you like the FLCL OST, you should definitely check out Beck. It’s still airing in Japan, and nobody in the US has picked up the license yet, although I hope someone does eventually. There’s a lot of music by some of Japan’s best indie bands in it. Definitely worth a look and a listen.

And on an unrelated note, can I have permission to work on a megatokyo flash animation, fred? I’ll probobly use the same scrpit and angles as the comic. It’ll be around 2 or 3 or 4 movies per chapter. I just wanted to know If I could use the comic as my main guide. Thanks in advance if you reply.
