Even on rewatches, the show is powerful for me. There are two episodes that will always make me at least tear up. I would almost hazard to say it is a perfect show for youth. Even the youth qualifier feels shaky sometimes.
Just to add in, an animated show I have rewatched a lot that still inspires me is "Ping Pong the Animation". I recommend the original voice work for the initial run, especially if you understand Chinese. They recasted one of the characters for the bluray release, and the delivery is not quite right in my opinion.
It was interesting to connect some of the issues they asked for help with relate back to this magic-fication.
I listened to the samples multiple times for each test. As I went through, I kind of used a strategy to skip to and compare the busiest parts of the songs for "muddiness". Still, it was always very tough to tell between 320kbps and WAV. Most of them were decided on a subjective "it just sounds slightly clearer and fuller". I think I had the easiest time with the vocals only track; can attribute that to being a vocally-focused listener.
Side note on that last point: Only recently have I noticed how little I heard of drums in my music listening. Picked up edrums recently and realized how lost I was at drum beats "ideas". For melodies I feel like I have a large library of ideas to draw from. On the flipside, now I notice drums a lot more. Hopeful that others can relate to this too?
Currently, I am an embedded system developer and I concur, I've learned a lot about data structures and how computers work because "everything is C". Especially true as I graduated as EE with more interest in software. I've been enjoying my short career so far, and like the way my thinking has changed from all learned experience. But I can't lie that I worry about whether I should be focusing on web tech and that embedded stuff will fall off. You not recommemding building a career in this area and actually making the switch intrigues me a lot.
Sorry for the wall of text, hope to hear back!
