Ignoring the obvious choices of Samurai Champloo, Berserk, Kaiji, Akira etc, one of my favourites is the OST for Air Gear. It'sa made by the same guy who did the music for Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future and sounds exactly like them.

>>61387706
Not only is the soundtrack good, the whole anime is truly hilarious. And the manga is even better.

Ping Pong The Animation.
The OST is as much of a masterpiece as the anime itself is.

I'm not really into anime, but the soundtrack to NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind is great. (The original, 80s synthy soundtrack, not the orchestral version.)

Akira is easily one of the best albums ever. Not just "anime soundtrack" albums ever.

Gankutsuou got some good stuff:

Hellsing opening is pretty good:

>that harpsichord

beautiful.

There is also a fully orchestrated version of Jesus that was used as the ending music for The End of Evangelion but only for the domestical episode release in Japan (Genesis: 14). Couldn't find it on yt but I think it's on one of the S2 Works discs.

The film version of EoE doesn't have any ending theme, it ends abruptly after One More Final and the only credits are Thanatos -if I can't be yours- for episode 25: Air.

Out of the 3 versions of Komm, susser Tod, I like the director's edit version from the EoE OST.

Evangelion is one of the most atmospheric anime ever made. I once wrote a long thesis on the series' postmodern exploration of existential concepts.

Evangelion OST III has my favorite Evangelion track ever:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXXBEbpJous

It was only used at the end of Episode 25, then it was used again in Death & Rebirth. It was taken out when they remade the Rebirth part on The End of Evangelion.

>>61392142

Pretty much all the major Evangelion OSTs are good.

OST 1 has all the hits.
OST 2 has some of the best BGM in the series, like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl-GUUraINk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6mBELhVBeE
(don't pay attention to the "2.0" in the title, this track is not from the Rebuilds, it's on the original Eva OST II)

OST III is like a continuation of the 2nd OST with even more great BGM and underrated tracks. Possibly the best in terms of the series BGM.

Then Death and EOE OSTs are total masterpieces on their own (even if they borrow classical pieces), especially EOE.
