Anime battle themes. What else can I really say about anime battle themes? I love them so much and the amount of energy they cane give is unbelievable. You don't even need a bunch of action happening on the screen sometimes. Anime Battle Themes can help give a scene so much energy even if the scene itself is minimal in action. It could just be representing how the characters feel. Either way, Anime battle themes are a gift and I love to write songs in that style. It's been awhile since my last one, but thanks to a lovely commission ("drawinglikeasir" on youtube), I was given the chance to make another! I hope you enjoy. This is "Making an Anime Battle Theme".

![How To: Make a Chaotic Boss Battle Theme in 5 Minutes (+ Full Song at the End) || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 2:08 [Song Name: Jazz Hands]
Chaotic Boss Battle Themes. What can I say about these mad lad tracks? Chaotic boss battle themes have a way of giving you energy while also giving you slight anxiety. Thats kind of the beauty of it. Setting an atmosphere like that can be very interesting, especially if the boss battle itself resides in the uncanny territory. Having a song that matches said atmosphere can have some pretty strong effects on the player. This here is my take on making a song that fits that atmosphere while also giving off the feelings mentioned above. This is How To: Make a Chaotic Boss Battle Theme in 5 Minutes. I hope you enjoy! This song was inspired by Earthboud and The Zelda Series!

![Making an UNDERGROUND Boss Area Theme || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 1:27 [Song Name: House Down Under]
Video game themes are cool. Underground areas and boss themes are both cool. So heres me making an underground boss area theme. Wacky scales included (but not intentionally somehow). The overall cave vibe was inspired by JRPG SNES stuff while the heavy percussion was inspired by stuff like Donkey Kong Country and Final Fantasy VII. Random influences all around. I hope you enjoy! (And a special shout out to all the people who have used my music in their DnD campaigns. Love ya!)

![Attempting to Make a Sad Anime Theme in 10 Minutes || Shady Cicada
► Full song at - 8:14
► The rap - 10:16
Sad Anime Themes. The anthem of lost waifus, shonen protagonists realizing their potential after wanting to quit, and emotional flashbacks. What even is an anime without a sad anime theme? (I wouldnt know. I actually dont watch a lot of anime. I know, Im a big faker). Well hey, composing video game and anime-style music is pretty great/fun and right down my alley. So surely nothing will go wrong if I attempt to make a sad anime song in 10 minutes....right? Wait...did we not do it in 10 minutes? Uh...Anyway! This is Attempting to Make a Sad Anime Theme in 10 Minutes. I hope you enjoy! Also gummy worms.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
For those lovable characters with hearts of mold. Im kidding though. Edgy characters can be a wonderful thing and theyre honestly a favorite personality trait of mine (especially when theyre also dorks, like Raiden or recently Bayonetta 3s Viola). They always have amazing music to back them as well, so I tried to capture that myself (as an arcade-y feelng level theme) in my own style. This is Song That Plays When You Fight Your Enemies (But You’re Super Edgy). I hope you enjoy the song!
