Music Presentation:
Special thanks to AnimeTrax for sending a copy for a review for this site. This is one of many Anime CDs that are domestic release. I though it was over, but looks like there is more music from this series. I have yet to see this series, but judging from the style of the music, this series been out for a while & it's all about baseball? It fellows the same type of classical music that I enjoy from the first volume, as well some action upbeat music as well. This volume also have the actually musical themes for several characters in the series. There is also the acoustic version of the ending theme (Track 20), basically, a guitar version of it without any singing. It's pretty good to listen.
Audio 2.0:
I find no problem listening to the music. The tracks are well separated.
Packaging:
Since this Anime CD is a domestic release, it got almost the same as the original Japanese packaging, except with a few English adaptation changes. The packaging is quite different from the first volume. On the cover, you get another image of the main characters. In the back, there are screenshots, places in circles in a red background. I just want to note that all the images used looks very flat & pale then the first volume. I wonder why. The insert is pretty cool, more information about the series, this time, in pink. There is a note from the director, an interview with the music producer & how the series was created. Also, there is the credits as well. On the CD itself, it's alot better then the first volume, it's all the characters faces in a circle in a white background.
Overall CD Rating:
If you got the first volume & enjoy it, you should get the second one. The acoustic version of the ending theme is pretty cool. I did enjoy the music, even I haven't seen the series yet. Not only that, you will support AnimeTrax on releasing more Anime CDs in the near future. |
