the Banana Fish soundtrack cover is a vision of hell.
#the soundtrack is great and I don’t listen to it that often because the sense is of jarring unease#the manga is a crime thriller with a classic almost western/samurai feel. you’ve got an epic quest across the countryside to bring justice#the anime makes it chillier with the added blues/purples and the faster pace.#less of a riding-out-to-face-the-day and more of a escape-the-crushing-wheels thing#the vision presented by the soundtrack? bleak. empty. terrifying. the buildings are indistinct and hazy#the beat pounding at the back of the track is syncopated. the rhythm changes. the scale isn’t major or minor but bluesy#to sit at the computer and look at the uncanny ai-style watercolours of the skyline and have the buzzing in your ears move to your teeth#it makes you feel bad. not just bad. it’s an effective way to put you back in the series#gobbling up every chapter with terror for what’s going to happen next#kelsey liveblogs banana fish#literally the soundtrack cover and the actual tracks are fingernails on a chalkboard (good version)
