The perfect anime to review on this podcast; Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad also ranks a solid 8.29 on MyAnimeList and is considered one of the greatest anime of its genre. We fell in love with this anime mostly because the music is amazing but also because it is so unbelievably relatable for Emily and I. All the trials and tribulations of discovering a new passion, learning and developing a talent, forming a band, gigging with that band, and finding success all while coming of age. The only...

What do you do when your very brief career as a Jedi Knight apprentice comes to a screeching halt cause the Empire wants to execute you? You turn your broken lightsaber into a microphone and start a f*****g rock band!! This episode of Visions was truly a fun watch. Angsty teen dreams of rock-stardom and winning over the hearts of your adversaries with your music; needless to say, it was very relatable to our infamous podcast hosts and warmed their hearts with feelings of nostalgia. That...

Break out the hippie crack cause this anime is TRIPPY. Seriously, I don't think it would be inappropriate to serve this anime with a helping of psilocybin mushrooms and a side of whip-its... Just make sure you've got a healthy state of mind cause this show is brutal and freaky enough to send you spiraling into a bad trip. Okay, maybe we'll save the psychedelics for the OST. Dorohedoro translates to "mud-sludge" in english and the music unit that composed the score, (K)Now_NAME, did a...

The 1000 Year Blood War Arc is just around the corner, so we decided that it would be a great time to bring on the Ban-kai and board the Bleach band wagon!! Que the nostalgia! Seriously, so many throw backs and memories from the mid 00's while listening to the audio that made up the first ~18 months of this iconic anime. Like Naruto, Bleach is a member of "The Big Three" and similarly is a bit hit or miss when it comes to the team's musical decision making. However, unlike Naruto, part 1 of...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Garrett and Emily embark on the journey that is Star Wars Visions. Simply put, we nerd...the f**k...out. Garrett pops a nerd boner talking about the similarities of the episode versus the Star Wars movies and Emily nerds out about the inspiration coming from Akira Kurosawa on both the studio and directors behalf. AND NOT TO MENTION THE 4-TRACK OST!!! *nailed it* Listen in for the one song we review because it truly depicts the storyline. At the...

Well this one passes the OST rating with flying colors compared to the previous one's we've listened to! Wow. Yoshihiro Ike is a musical lord because damn...he got right to the point with these tracks and had us entranced. He isn't a God compared to original creator, Osamu Tezuka, though. I think we spent just as much time talking about Tezuka and Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi) as we did the OST this time. There's just so much information and cool shit happening in this episode ya'll! This remake...

Finishing out this series (so far) in style with season 2 of Fire Force. We want answers for a lot of things; all the way from how the artists for the OP/ED’s get their inspiration to why this OST was kind of a "goat noise." We were not mad at this OST but we heard the first one, and we want to know where that spark went from returning composer, Kenichiro Suehiro.  Aimer’s OP is by far our favorite from this season…why did season 1 get all the good themes!!?? More questions and less answers....

We told you we wouldn't do it often and we haven't but this one is important, y'all. As we adjust to our new schedules and the things life just decides to pummel us with, we bring you an iconic song from Adventure Time (Emily fails epically in the episode so we'll cut to the chase here 😅). Full of raw emotion and angst, I'm Just Your Problem represents the daily criticisms that we face on the daily and how we choose to respond to them. It evokes true passion from Marceline toward Princess...

Our most raw, unedited, "no fuggs given" episode so far. It was just one of those kinda weeks, ya know? *WARNING* This episode contains quite a few SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen this awesome movie DO NOT LISTEN! If you were fortunate enough to catch this movie in theaters then you already know just how BAD ASS of a production it was. Especially the music. This OST was sooo much better than the one for the series which really caught Garrett off guard because it was the exact same audio...

It's the first episode of Season TWO, y'all!! We are back! Yes, I know we went on a much longer hiatus than we originally anticipated, but hopefully you didn't curse us too much. Even if you did, we're just going to channel all that cursed energy into this episode! That's right, this week we are jamming out to Jujutsu Kaisen and serving up a saucy review of season 1's sonic sorcery. There was a lot of audio to unpack from this Anime --2 OPs, 2 EDs, and over 2.5 hours of an OST-- and we...

The LAST ANIME REVIEW of the first ever season of the ANIME NOISE PODCAST. This week we breakdown the music from a super gory, very philosophical sci-fi thriller called Parasyte: The Maxim. This ""Netflix original"" is based off the award winning 80's manga Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki. Rumors claim that the main character, Migi, could have been inspired by a real life medical condition called "Alien Hand Syndrome" where the sufferer has a hand that acts on its own without the person's control....

This week we dove REAL hard into the gory, Halloween vibes with this very bloody and freaky anime! The OST is nothing short of true horror although we don't think the OP and ED matched what everything else put down. We apologize in advance for the lightning. However, with a little bit of tinkering on Garrett's end, we made it work. It's the least he could do after being so afraid of the lightning. :) Hehe If you haven't seen Another yet, please give this anime some love this October...

Thank you all for requesting this one, especially @gabrielcolon22. I know we took our sweet time getting to it, but I'm glad we waited because... This anime deserves ALL THE HYPE!! Not only does it open (and close the season finale) with one of the most iconic songs in anime history, the OST as a stand alone album took us completely by surprise and quite honestly has helped us in standardizing an actual grading scale for all the OSTs we've listened to so far. And it only took us 50 episodes...

This week we are reviewing High School of the Dead!! An absolutely perfect segue out of our extra ecchi escapades and into the horror filled happenings of Halloween! This series is a roller coaster of ups and downs. From Takashi's tent in his pants constantly getting ruined by zombie attacks to the awesome OP and album of ED's, but a "D" grade soundtrack, AND we got to witness a super kick ass first season, but the story might be forever left unfinished due to Sato, the author of the manga,...

Our 4th installment of the Food, Fate, Fire and Fetish month! We kinda flew through part 2 of Fate/Stay Night UBW. Not because it was bad or anything, actually it was pretty freaking incredible, ngl. We only had two tiny critiques which were hardly a big deal and probably just Garrett's nit-picky ass opinion. We also, got to talk about a new ani-band called Aimer! They are sooooo good and have an amazing vocalist. This OP actually landed in Oricon's top 5. Go grab some quality cans and...

The anime series that inspired the Anime Noise Podcast!! We are doing the first season of Fire Force  this week! This series should be known as the "gold standard" of sound fx in the anime industry. Seriously, people should study this in sound design school. It's unique, it's creative, it's world-building, and it's used to enhance the music in the OST! The soundtrack was done very well and, although it only earned a B as a stand alone album, we realized just how versatile the composer can be...

Yes I know, we started the original Fate/Stay Night cause we wanted to do that one first, but there were so many unanswered questions and important differences that we ended up jumping ship to hop aboard Unlimited Blade Works. And god damn are we happy we did!! The animation is phenomenal, the music is so much better and it follows the manga a bit better in my opinion. At least character wise...granted, we haven't read the manga we've just read a lot about it. In this episode, we break down...

It's here! It's finally here!! The first installment of our "Food, Fate, Fire, and Fetish" month!! On this episode we break down 2 whole OST's worth of music...not cause we wanted, but because we know you wanted it...also because that's what season 1 gave us and we rolled with it. In this episode, we give you the intro you've always wanted, the breakdown of music that felt kind of stale but also rocks your face off. And then some tracks that really put you in the middle of a kitchen...

This week we finish out the 3 disc masterpiece by Yuki Kajiura! We also discuss the musical group Kalafina, the genius behind the musical language "Kaijiuran," and the fact that there's a website dedicated to worshipping Yuki herself. Rightly, so! She's a freaking elegant beast of a musician. Also, Garrett helps us all understand the process of film scoring a bit better, how to make a show more musical and Emily officially announces the upcoming ANP schedule all the way through...

We finally did it! We made it to the last arc of the Hunter x Hunter series and, man...what a relief it is to finish this project. No, not because it was bad, most of the music was pretty decent and very interesting, it was just such a royal pain in the ass to put into the same order as the anime. So on that note, enjoy the final pieces of Yoshihisa Hirano's wonderful addition to the HxH anime series. YouTube Playlist: AN-14: Hunter x Hunter (2011) [cont. Chimera Ant/Chairman...

We're trying something a little different with this series and decided to pump out the review as we finish watching each part. Partially because we've discovered that there's 3 or 4 suggested ways to watch the Fate series and we wanted to chart a course for you. We have nothing but praise for this phenomenal anime series! Oh and the OST? God tier, baby. Garrett even said, "of all the OST's we've done so far, this has become his favorite." There's some serious weight behind that statement....
