Disney/Pixar movies perhaps, though I can't think of any TV cartoons with good music.. catchy themes maybe like 80s Ninja Turtles, but that's about it. Probably more nostalgia as well.

I think so, there's a lot of great tracks on the five (or was it six) OSTs they released for the show. They're all definitely worth listening to. Some songs were only played one time in one scene, which is fairly impressive.

Yes, it's impressive that someone realised that more produced songs-> more CDs to sell to die hard fans.

I would have gone with composers tailoring a piece of music to fit a scene perfectly rather than using a random song they previously used, but I suppose if you're a pessimist your view works as well

It would be great if the developed OSTs were just a matter of polishing the series to perfection, but everyone is aware of the fact that anime and it's merchandise must sell. Again I have nothing about that as long as I don't have an impression that next motive is just a matter of squeezing more money from me. For example- "The world the Gods only knows" and Kanon songs. OK. She is the singer. Fairly new one, so one pop song would be enough to prove that. No, it won't. Several songs that sounds exactly the same.
Sometimes the less is better- soundtracks for Noir or Cowboy Bebop doesn't look impressive, but when you turn the on... raine the hats and bow down.

I maybe a weird one here, but I don't even care for the songs as much as I care for the actual score. I guess some focus on other things than me.
