What are your favorite original soundtracks in anime?
>>287804085i like clannad and garden of sinners a lot. i think mia, princess tutu and monogatari are also great.
>>287804085Basically anything by Sawano: SnK, Guilty Crown etc. There's also one track in the bakarina anime that I really liked, but the rest was kind of eh.
>>287804206I only recently realized that there's an old album made out of Clannad's soundtrack called Sorarado and have been listening to it ever since.Key works in general have really good soundtracks.
>>287804279I was down on Sawano for a few years now but really liked his work on Fate Strange Fake. Seemed like a return to form for him.
>>287804085Anything by Hideki Taniuchi. Sadly he got cancelled and hasn't composed for any anime in the last 15 years.
>>287804085Gundam 0079 (Disco)Sword Wind Berserk (Neoclassical New Age/Dark Ambient)Boogiepop Phantom (Dark Ambient/Junglism)Madoka Magica (Neoclassical Darkwave)Devilman Crybaby (Darksynth)
for some less common ones that probably won't come up: Fire Force particularly S3 and Little Witch Academia
>>287804085- Oniisama E (Kentaro Haneda)- Schell Bullet (no anime was made, the album accompanies books by the creators of Utena and Five Star Stories)- Versailles no Bara
>>287805125>Anything by Hideki TaniuchiThis. And Yasushi Ishii
>>287804085hrmI guess the ones I listen to the most are texhnolyze and haibane renmeiboth are just so good for listening to while reading or anything like that

>>287804085Can't really say I have favorites, but I like when shows that are maybe less than stellar have soundtracks better than they deserve.Boarding School JulietConRevoDandelion
>>287804085aria soundtrack is great
>>287804085the only that has ever been good is Kill la Kill:https://youtu.be/zRI5uW6DLXg?si=BBf3lcnROgNY_1wR

The Code Geass soundtrack is pretty underrated I'd say, most people only focus on Madder Sky but the whole thing is great. The Planetes soundtrack from the same composer is great as well
>>287804085Anything by Tenmon, Choro club, Maeda etc
>>287804085Sword Art OnlineYKKGirls Last Tour
Hellsing 2001 tv series ost
>>287804085See attached.>>287804206Monogatari almost makes it for me. I like Tchaikovsky so I assume I'd like Princess Tutu, lol. >>287805154Among the soundtracks by the "popular" composers I probably like Madoka the most. Gundam 0079 is great too, very of its time.>>287805180Little Witch Academia is nice as well. I like it when a show has a soundtrack that's totally orchestral (LWA has some exceptions, but still) and you can tell it was a real orchestra. >>287805301When it comes to melancholy, there is no better soundtrack than Oniisama e.
Idaten's OST was one of the most standout ones for me in recent years. Really just enjoyed the show in general.https://youtu.be/47uhv2w5cjc?si=L-k-AXA6lmMtbGzphttps://youtu.be/kvB-0FDnwtQ?si=KD9bJaZNsXdRGoophttps://youtu.be/fPNsRj35uOU?si=r9E7LmWkHfoWCvmR
>>287809449The trumpet is really iconic
>>287804085Included Blood-C and Queen's Blade to do something different, but also because they have some really good fucking tracks (in my humble opinion):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeT6TT7ue8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmwn-Gjz1KYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4iFaPdN5tMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJwSJ0IiuDYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vD2Qaxo-K0
>>287804085>Escaflowne>The Big O>FMA 03>BBB/Kekkai Sensen>Aquarion>Obligatory Cowboy Bebop mention>Believe it or not the original Yugioh Duel Monsters had an absolutely stellar soundtrack for some reason.
>>287813756Thank you for sharing these, actually made me want to watch the anime.
>>287804085Made in AbyssGirls last tourKemono friends
>>287804085I found Noir really boring but damn the soundtrack is goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N4bZ8lMv9o&list=PLtNkf-gsE3CA562PVmfaLAOh-hZWuyxQe&index=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u0qn-6QcAw&list=PL14C0C63B620303BEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeqsjRu6SLA&list=PL14C0C63B620303BE&index=3>>287804206>Princess TutuThat's cheating and you know it. You don't get to compete in "best OST" when your soundtrack is just some of the most iconic classical pieces ever made.
Venus wars is one of Joe's best ost in my mind
I never really pay much attention to soundtracks besides the OP and ED but sometimes my mind remembers the OST of Hibike
