Do it. Or are you afraid that someone will knock you off of your throne?

Holy crap, you're back! Now I have to go back and listen to all of your GRMRB 2011 songs This compo is shaping up to be awesome!

I happened to watch the first (and only) season of Sekirei that's on Netflix, and I didn't really know what to expect. On one hand, I sort of find all of the huge boobs a bit over the top (though I do enjoy the jokes about these at Benitsubasa's expense), but the series is so well written and flat out entertaining that I'm hooked. I bought the Blu Ray of second season off of Amazon for $26, and I'll probably be doing that with the first pretty quickly here. For those who know nothing about the series, it's like Pokemon except with large breasted women (with small exception) with super powers.

I sent this list over to prophetik already. Some of my favorites, but everyone feel free to expand on them. Also, I kind of ignored X7 and X8 because I'm not terribly familiar with those themes, having only played through each of the games once or twice a long time ago.

It's really nice to see someone covering classic Animal Crossing. I really like what you've got here. You know, to make it a little more along the lines of OCR's standards, you could do a medley of several different tracks from AC.

If you really made this that quickly, you should definitely check out the Mega Man X competition that going to be starting pretty soon. Watch the "Competitions" thread for the GMRB 2012 or Grand Maverick Remix Battle 2012.

Downloaded! I really enjoyed your song. Loved the chill soundscape.

In addition to everything else already posted, I really enjoyed the soundtrack to Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Sakuraba composed it.

MP3 download link?

Holy crap. Although, both Brandon AND Gario voted for Gario. Also, Brandon, it's not constructive to dissect every single voter's reason for voting a certain way. You're just going to scare people off.

Only just over 20 voters this time. Are a lot of people on vacation?

Copyright law operates a bit differently in Japan than in the U.S. (i.e. the fair use exception is much stronger in the U.S.). That said, selling remixes/albums doesn't automatically forfeit a fair use defense, but it sure does weaken it. There are four factors that courts consider when a fair use defense is invoked. However, it rarely gets as far as the courtroom because companies spam C&D letters like crazy, even if they are baseless. Artists usually don't know any better (because they aren't lawyers and typically don't consult with lawyers about it), and just give in.

DISCLAIMER: I'm primarily a listener, not a remixer, so I can't give apt technical advice. However, I really enjoyed listening to this one on DoD, and I would certainly discourage you from abandoning the project. I would certainly like to see where you can take this mix. Skies of Arcadia doesn't get enough love on OCR, and Horteka is one of the better songs from the game. I'll definitely be following any improvements that you decide to make to the song (if you decide to pursue that path).

At this point, everyone else could vote for Gario, and you'd STILL win! EDIT: Nice Ironsword mix, btw

Yeah, same here. I'll admit to some personal bias towards the slower, more relaxing type of music, so I will definitely be listening to Amphibious's entry much more often than Rexy's, but both were well done. There still may have been some influence from some of the voters at the end when all of this stuff was going down, but it probably worked out for the best that it ended the way that it did. Could have gotten a lot messier.

Wow, there are a lot of brand new people voting this round, and they're all voting for Rexy.

Thank you x1000.

Ironically, if Wildfire hadn't voted for Strader, she would have won. Mr. Strader didn't vote this week...interestingly...

This has always confused me. Now, is she a dragon who avenges, or one who avenges the dragons? Or does she avenge against the acts of dragons?

Major spoilers if you haven't seen this week's episode... Mumm-Ra and Pumyra...an item?? Seriously? Where the fuck did that come from? Are the writers that lazy this early on? If so, the series is doomed. Thoughts? EDIT: I did a little research, and it looks like the show may be finished with this last episode, which really bums me out (despite this really stupid plot twist). It would be really bad if they left it at this low point. Oh well...

All four of the mixes this week are nice and long. Nothing below four minutes. It's pretty great.
