Why do normalfag casuals love Yoko Kanno so much? Is it because of Cowboy Plebop? Not as good as Joe Hisaishi.
>>140377840
i like mai yamane
>>140377840
i like her work in sakamichi no apollon
You are allowed to like more than one composer at a time.
>>140377840
I liked her work on GitS better though.
It's also possible for one person to like more than one composer, just like it's possible for a person to like more than one genre.
>>140377840
If you talk about composers that loved by normalfag casuals, you should post Yuki Kajiura and Sawano Hiroyuki.
She composed opening for Record of Lodoss War TV.
I can not think of a better opening.
>>140378423
i like emily bindiger
>>140377840
Normalfags don't really care about the composers of chinese cartoons pal.
The word normie is used way too liberally here. If you have a strong opinion about a composer because of work they did for Japanese cartoons back in the 90s, you're already not a normie.

Is this the composer thread? Can we talk about how perfect Oshima Michiru's work is.

>>140380124
I don't pay attention to a lot of anime related things, I just watch anime and take it as I go.

I listen to the OST for Wolf's Rain regularly even though I haven't watched the show.
>>140380447
Not helping your case, newfag.
>>140380558

She's a hack, but a wonderful one. With how she sounds I don't really care about whether she plagiarized the idea or not.
>>140377840
I like Ichiko Hashimoto more.
>>140377840
My favorite is katsuhisa for crest of the stars.
Michiru oshima is another favorite but maybe not as versatile, most of her stuff sounds like rachmaninoff symphonies no matter what show it is.

said the normalfag with a posed look.
>>140377840
Personally I like Mr. HAYIIIIIAYIIIII FORCES!
However that doesn't mean that other composers aren't good. And half the time it depends on context. There's plenty of stuff Kanno has done that wouldn't have been half as good if Hisaishi did it, and vice versa. You basically have to be a stuck up hipster to say "you can only like ONE composer, and it has to be MY favorite or else your an idiot!"
>>140384731
But they are. Just because they did compositions for "normanfagimé" doesn't mean you need to get your panties in a twist.
>>140384648
>TMfag and SnKfag/OnSfag.
>>140384883
Wouldn't call myself a TMfag but Fate is decent, and the Madoka soundtrack is one of my favourites.
Yeah, Sawano Hiroyuki has really only composed for shit anime, but the soundtracks themselves are good.
>>140380880
1. When it comes to doing a vast amount of work in a limited amount of time, sometimes originality just takes too long.
2. I don't know much about the anime production pipeline, but if it's anything like movies then oftentimes scenes are edited to temp tracks and the composer's job relies less on originality than mimicking that track without falling into infringement territory. Then you have cases where the director will outright give the composer reference music to base their score on.
>>140385155
In one side, I feel the need to resist myself of committing cancerous vaguely pointed shitposting.
On the other hand, I also feel the need to tell you how much of casual plebs you are to think anything come from TM is ever remotely good.
Since you can tell that Hiroyuki only composed for shit anime, I won't call you shittaste for now.Considering how far Fateshits spread among casual, at best Yuki Kajiura is in "baby's first anime composer" tier.
Hiroyuki does sucks, especially in OnS.
>>140380229
Yes it did, the desolate setting and overall depressing mood is what makes the music so perfect. It was a good series.

Normies in general wouldn't be following anime composers in the first place. If you can recognize Sawano's music from the bunch of anime he has worked on, you already diving into the world or weeb.
Anyhow, no love for Zankyou no Terror's OST?
I thought Von and crystalized were on a completely different level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxnqSTzq6-w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzqYjH254HA
Sora no Woto and Turn A Gundam are probably my favorite Yoko Kanno works, though.
>>140388772
It's not that I don't like the OST, I just forgot about Zankyou no Terror entirely until you brought it up
>>140388920
>sora no woto
I haven't slept in 30 hours and I think I need to go to bed. Disregard this post.
I like Kow Otani. He mixes Rock, Jazz, Electronic, and Orchestra, and he doesn't afraid of anything.
>>140377840
Escaflowne has objectively the greatest orchestrated score in all of anime, but I hate how much credit she gets for it because Hajime Mizoguchi also produced some amazing music in that score too but you never see nerds online spazzing out over it like they will over Kanno.
>>140388772
The OST was the best thing about that anime, in my opinion a lot of the scenes were carried by the music, like the scene on the motorbike.
Has she done any anime soundtracks since ZnT?

>>140389392
Yeah, was just about to post a link to that track and this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZgI59TMFc8
Probably my favourite two of the OST.
Yuki Kajiura is still good...especially for movie soundtracks. Just shows you how much the Unlimited Blade Works soundtrack sucked (it really was underwhelming and forgettable) that they brought her back for Heaven's Feel.
Plus for all the "everything's the same" complainers, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi had NO vocal tracks whatsoever in its soundtrack.
I found the Pandora Hearts OST recently and you know, tell me what's wrong with stuff like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZshGZh7_pqQ
Oh and Yoko Kanno is alright.
The Jews didn't even nominate The Revenant for best score, what the fuck.

This whole OST was filled with incredible songs. I don't even like high pitched (young kid) voices for vocals, but Hannah grew me.

>Millenials would be as old as 16 by now.
You know that's Gen Z. Gen Z are not the Millennials.
Millennials are Gen Y and they were kids who was coming to age/live long enough to remember the turn of the millenium. So the oldest of Millennials are actually 34-36 with the youngest around 20-21 or so.

>>140404067
Sociologists agreed. Don't question about it.
They only name generations as they come along and we are the last generation before the turn of the millennium and there was a lot of the millennium craze going on. It was pretty much set in stone in the late 80s.

This happened to me withSawanoaround the time I think Shingeki's anime came out. It wasn't the tracks themselves, but I realized I'd heard one of the vocalists somewhere before. It grated on me that I couldn't remember where that I spent forever combing through my OSTs half remembering a bunch of songs that all had this vocalist in it but weren't the one I was looking for. I can't even remember which track I was trying to remember, but it made me notice I had a number of tracks with this vocalist and they all had the same composer.
Of course, it was Mika Kobayashi and they were all Sawano OSTs. People like to shit on Sawano nowadays, and not necessarily without reason, but the Blue Exorcist OST is still killer and the Seven Deadly Sins OST was actually pretty great. They both show he actually has some range, as well as a few tracks on his more mediocre OSTs. Even his "typical" stuff can be good, in the right mood. I think he just gets hired to do rip offs of Unicorn. The first episode of Kabaneri was pretty lame, soundtrack-wise, but episode two had at least one good bit I heard, so we'll see how it goes.
