it's called electric light orchestra. how did I stumble upon them. this actually takes a brief anime history lesson.

while searching for densha otoko (train man), I found 2 exciting details.

1. the ending song is the same as the last stage of ouendan 2



2. This is the opening song



twilight by electric light orchestra... or ELO as they're commonly called

then I found out that this opening is in fact a tribute to a famous video done by a bunch of university friends for a sci-fi convention called DAICON IV. these group of friends eventually form together to become GAINAX.



wat an awesome video! from 1983 no less! this video was of course the defining moment that brought us GAINAX. without DAICON IV there would be no evangelion, flcl, karekano, gurrenlagaan etc etc

of course there are other cool songs by ELO. i particularly like mr. blue sky and I can't get it out of my head

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?

THE SKY IS GREEN BECAUSE OF POLLUTION
Yet the picture is still beautiful. Therefore pollution is beautiful.
