Whenever i try to describe this series to people it usually goes something like this; "So its batman, but with giant robots and an opening theme heavily inspired by queen."
TRUEEEEEEE 😍but in a good way. It only proves how iconic these influences are- and how something creative can still come out of even the most heavily-inspired creations.
I didn't realise this song is inspired from until I went and heard Queen's Flash. But except the beat and vibe is similar, how they handled the Big-O song is pretty different from Flash, though.
This is what happens when you (Sunrise in this case) produces a show created by a notoriously lazy, and usually drunk, creator well-noted for coming up with great ideas then dropping them unfinished. They had at least the very first episode ready to go…except for opening and closing credits. Sunrise: “It’s all ready to show but…ummm…aren’t you forgetting something?” Creator: “No, it’s all there.” Sunrise: “Ummm…opening? Closing?” Creator: “SHIT! O-okay, give me a bit.” Creator foals up a buddy he knows who’s a composer: “Hi. I need a song.” Musician: “Sure! When do you want it.” Creator: “…Tomorrow?” Musician: “SHIT! O..okay, give me an couple hours, I’ll figure something out.” Creator: “Great! Thanks. Now…what can I use to make an opening animation? SHIT!”
@@mmasque2052 I really don't think they made it in a rush, it's clearly intended to be a pastiche. And the OP animation is a reference to Ultra Seven.
I’m all but completely convince Rui’s backing band for this song consisted of Brian May and Roger Taylor…….they sound TOO identical for it to be this uncanny. Lol
It is said that the composer compromised his copyright to give up to Queen. That's because it should be a homage to Queen but the result was almost a copy. XD
plagiarism refers specifically to writing. if anything, this is copyright infringement, but I think a fair evaluation of both songs would suggest that this is homage, not theft.
