By that, I mean niche stuff like Shibuya Kanon’s quarter-Spanish ancestry in Love Live Superstar. I don’t care if I get it or not right now, I can study to understand them sooner or later.

    The German intro (as well as the whole series) of Captain Future has a completely different soundtrack. And it is widely regarded as the better one (the 70s/80s style gives the show a whole new feeling).

    Sadly the German version is heavily censored, so we will never get the best of both worlds.

      I can add to that. The composer, Christian Bruhn, has become the head of the organisation that fucks you over if you dare to use a snippet of music from one of their members. I had to deal with them over the years a couple of times. I’ve grown up with German Captain Future. The title score is still a core memory of mine. I’m not sure if it was the first anime I’ve ever seen, but it’s in the first 3. And then the composer heads a litigious shithole of a government organisation. Speak about going from hero to villain.
