TVDome: Totally Tubular

[Purple]

Dance of Curse+The Pointer Sisters=Neutron Dance?

 

[Exposition Owl]

I assumed for years that “Neutron Dance” was a misheard lyric on my part. I was really surprised to learn that was actually the name of the song.

Anyway, Working through the Sadness.

 

[Kirin]

Working Man’s Sadness

(I do love the pinball tune, it just feels more like the whole focus of the clip than background music.)

 

[Johnny Unusual]

1-2-3 votes for Pinball and Dance of Curse does the cha-cha slide.

Match 27
@Kirin 's taste is Absolute (Destiny Apocalypse) while @Exposition Owl sates his taste for Violent Delights.

Match 28
@Kirin ... is just staying in the game with Utena while @Exposition Owl is similarly hanging in with his picks, such as Battlestar Galactica.

[Purple]

Little tempted to go against my own nom, but instead let's get double hyped for imminent fight scenes.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Dance of Apocalypse

 

[Kirin]

I WILL NOT ABIDE OBSTAINING KIRIN! MAKE A STAND!

Lol, I hope you weren’t waiting *just* for me while I was mostly offline all weekend. Especially since I think I’ll also just go all bombastic vocal action with a Cursed Destiny.

 

[Exposition Owl]

Pinball Overture

 

[Johnny Unusual]

FINAL ROUND!​

Well, Pinball and Dance of Curse tied. Absolute Destiny Apology moves on...

So....
@Purple @Torzelbaum @Kirin
THREE WAY FIGHT! VOTE ONLY FOR ONE!

 

[Torzelbaum]

Pinball # Count

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Absolute Destiny Apocalypse

 

[Issun]

Pinball # Count

 

[Purple]

Ooh, we're splittin' the anime vote? All of these are great though, but I only personally nominated one so...

(I hate how hard it is to find a good screenshot of Jyu Oh Sei, the anime series with character designs that are just straight-up Dilandau and rule-63 Van where half the dialog is people talking about how so and so is their Top because that would have been a good one to go out on.)

 

[Kirin]

Ditto to what Purple said, all bangers but gotta stick by Utena. I still remember what a WTH moment it was when that theme first kicked in, and then the anticipation of what few lyrical strangeness would accompany each fight; picking such an out-there composer to handle all the requisite nearly-once-per-episode duel scenes was just an inspired choice.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

@Exposition Owl did you want to break the tie... or make it worse?

 

[Exposition Owl]

Yeah, I think I’m gonna have to give it to Pinball.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Pinball is the winner!

Congrats to Torzelbaum! And a great time was had by all! I hope!

 

[Issun]

This was a fun and interesting little dome. Thanks Johnny! I learned a lot about anime music.

 

[Torzelbaum]

Congrats to Torzelbaum!

Thanks Johnny. And thanks for running this.

Speaking of my pick I came across this video of a musician doing an analysis of the song:
