Nereid Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Or is there an equivalent? Xaleph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Because this site is about remixing video game music? There are lots of anime remixes out there (Platina Jazz Anime Standards being the best. Fight me), it just isn't as big as video game remixing. I think that's because until probably around 2000 or so, anime was still mostly a Japan thing, as anime didn't start becoming more accessible and mainstream outside of Japan until then. Yes, I know lots of shows were localized around the world like AstroBoy and Saint Seiya, etc, but I'm not really counting those because... they weren't really identifiable as "anime" at the time, and were usually heavily edited and dubbed in the local language. I'm referring to Japanese audio, uncut and unlocalized stuff here.. So you have less exposure and knowledge of anime in general in a global sense, which compounds nicely with less exposure to anime music as well. Meanwhile, North America and Europe were exposed to video games with actual music in them from the mid 80s and on, and it grew in popularity and appeal, so more and more people were getting more and more of it stuck in their heads. It's a simple matter of exposure and scale compared to anime music. Then factor in that to organize and maintain a site for discussing, making and hosting all those remixes would require a lot of time money and effort. Think about how many remixes and remixers OCR has to deal with. Not do all that again for another type of remix community. OCRemix has been around for what... 20 years or so now? Feels like 20 years. You would have to do so much work to make an anime version of it, just to eve catch up. Edited December 5, 2021 by The Damned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 There's no reason somebody can't make one. There was AnimeRemix.org a ways back, run by @Xaleph, and the current version of the site's actually still hosted at http://dev.animeremix.org/songs.

Nereid Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Yeah, The Damned, but I thought a lot of people who played games also watched... some games, like Jeanne D'arc, have anime within... AnimeRemix says "rewritten to be inline with https://ocremix.org/info/Content_Policy" - does that mean that applies to both sites? Even if it doesn't sound so much like it? It's not like it says on every song, too. And they really only have 104, latest 11 years ago...? I'm guessing it's an archive or such...

The Damned Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Well, that would indicate that there wasn't enough interest to keep going at it. If it's been over a decade and no one is willing to maintain it... Edited December 6, 2021 by The Damned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nereid Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 A pity, the ones I heard so far were interesting, although so much more anime has been released in the last 11 years too... and 104, in comparison to the thousands here, are so few...

djpretzel Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm personally bummed animeremix didn't catch on, but I did have a lot of fun on the three mixes I did there... that being said, we've got a laser focus on VGM at OCR, to such an extent that we're pedantic enough to not allow the Wii menu music since it's *technically* not a game, but part of the operating system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 ... so, my plan for a 3DS/Wii eShop remix album isn't likely to be accepted then. Dang, we had an entire Mongolian throat singing crew lined up for the Summer 2013 theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just do a 45 minute ambient slowdown remix of it like I did with the 1990s 16-bit Konami logo jingle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaleph Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm planning on relaunching, I've rewritten the front end, backend, and migrated data to a more consistent format. We also have several songs ready for the launch scheduled in the late summer / early fall. I'll likely need technical help on the software side, finding such help has been difficult.

Xaleph Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Python is a great gateway language. We currently use php ( framework is slimphp ) and typescript. We are looking at changing the backend language eventually when I move the site to AWS. I’ll reach out to you on discord. I’m still looking at an August/September relaunch.

I mean, speaking as a professional web developer who's built many applications using Python/Django, it's definitely far beyond a "gateway language." xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaleph Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Right, I meant it teaches core fundamentals that can be used by almost any language. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I can see how I wrote that poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaleph Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Looking at relaunching this in about 3 weeks (less depending on technology decisions and if I can finish this one song). We'll be hosting a compo as well during the relaunch. If anyone has any anime or cartoon remixes they're sitting on or if they want to throw something together in the next 2-3 weeks, submit them soon so we can put them up on the site. I'll be on our discord if you want to reach out (https://discord.gg/NSWpWmfqxq). Dj Mokram and Ramaniscence 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
