So uh. The music sounds pretty good. But the problem is each track is only about a minute long, and there are about 5 tracks in the show, including this one.
@supleted4 жыл бұрын
The show averages 5 minutes of run time per episode, which means you just watched about 20% of every episode all at once.
@SBaby2 жыл бұрын
The opening is actually separate from the run time. So if you count it, the run time is actually about 6 to 6 and a half minutes. Again, I don't have any clue how a series does this, but I can only assume it was aired together with other short cartoons of the time.

@@SBaby Sazae-San up to this day consists of 3 episodes of around 6-8 minutes that get aired in pairs of three each sunday. That's why the episode count number is either around 2600 or around 7800 episodes, depending how you count. It wasn't uncommon in that time to make shorter episodes. But only Chargeman Ken was trying to put one 25m episode into 5 min, while Sazae-san normally only has one small topic per episode

@@ramengamer4806 I knew about the Toru Fuyuki stuff, But at least he actually got a chance to work at Tsuburaya again in the 70s, Even though it wasn’t for a mainline Ultraman show until 1979.
