Which one has better OST?
>>
>>122928356
The Big O.
>>
wasnt aware people considered the music in eva any good besides opening and outro songs
>>
They're totally different types of music and basically incomparable. Cowboy Bebop is mostly attempts at recreating various 20th Century American popular musical genres while Evangelion's OST is largely trying to capture classic film orchestral scores.
>>
>>122928403
Evangelion genuinely has a top-tier OST for a TV anime, especially for the era.
>>
>>122928430
>for a TV anime
Sure but that's not that high a bar. I think the Cowboy Bebop OST is by far one of anime's greatest soundtracks and it only has like 5 superb songs and pales in comparison to any average 1950s bop record.
>>
>>122928403
Eva has THE best OST in anime. And it's up there among TV shows too.

Evangelion used a full orchestra with bizarrely strong composition that often makes it sound like an actual movie soundtrack, it's actually kind of insane. It's a top 5 anime OST for me movie or otherwise.

Rei's theme is so fucking good God damn. Whenever I think of Eva I think of the moments of tension where they'd play that song. I always felt like this was a relatively overlooked track.

We'll make this a bit 'easier' then. "The extreme pedantic opinionated and contrarian nature of this website necessitates loaded questions. Subjective opinions are then presented as hard fact, when they are not. The comparison point between Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion comes from the reverence both receive as high points of anime released in the mid-1990s. Both are also held in high regard for their soundtracks. Which do you prefer?"
>>
What do you guys think about the third Eva CD? It's the one that has most of the weird 90s newage-ish music on it. I think it's really cool and kind of overlooked in favor of the orchestral stuff on the first two, it has some of the more iconic atmospheric tracks on it. Reminds me a lot of old computer games.

There's something off to me about the Rebuild soundtracks compared to the originals, it feels like they've got too much going on or something. I've listened to that fan edit before and the way it cuts between the two makes it stand out more. It's like the originals were intentionally subdued while the Rebuilds don't hold back and it ends up sounding more cluttered to me.

Compared to say, the "Hedgehog's Dilemma Suite" which gets repetitive fast

>It's not better than soundtracks
Musically, soundtracks are objectively garbage. The background nature of a soundtrack necessitates its reliance on repetition and/or ambience, as the listener's engagement with the show's or film's plot and visuals prevents him from following any advanced musical structure. Unless the soundtrack and the film synergize flawlessly in a Wagnerian sense, a soundtrack will merely serve as slightly memorable background music associated with specific moments and would be forgettable in a vacuum.

I believe the only reason you utter such nonsense is either due to your poor aural memory, which prevents you from following along with classical music properly, or because you only listen to music in the background like a fool. Alternatively, you may simply lack appreciation for music as an art form, viewing it merely as a supplementary medium rather than one capable of evoking strong emotions. In that case, you would naturally be annoyed by music that can successfully exist on its own. With your only appreciation for music being within the confines of low-IQ mediums such as television, film, and anime.

Why do you think you're entitled to an argument, you 16 year old pseud? Your entire personality based on two fucking posts alone is trying to convince people on the internet that you're smart. You are so desperate for validation that you use classical music as a coping mechanism to signal to people online that you are intelligent. You entered this thread with the intention of signaling that you're smart, I don't know, probably because you're one of those dweebs that was smart in middle school, built your personality around being smart, but fell off in college and so you cling to any thing to convince yourself (and other people) that you're smart. I'm not here to play armchair psychologist, but your two posts alone scream "validate me", with how quickly you are to gloat about IQ, how quick you are to gloat about how "advanced" the music you listen to is, and your constant "my art is objectively better than yours".

>Tomino didn’t do very much
His biggest hit and the show that made people pay attention to him is a self admitted bastard combination of Ideon and Zambot 3 with some Devilman thrown in. In fact basically all of his works are cheap knock offs in some way or another. Gunbuster is just Aim for the Ace but with mechs. Nadia is just Future Boy Conan with an Atlantis aesthetic (plus it was also liberally taken from a canned Miyazaki project). Anno is the biggest fraud in the industry and it’s a miracle people have clued on that all of his stuff is just other people’s ideas which he smothers in a layer of Freudian psychobabble and tries to pass off as his own

I don't care if you think I'm smart or not; just because I spellcheck and don't write like a braindead spastic doesn't mean I want to come across as intelligent. If you perceive minimal effort in your posts as desperate, it speaks more about you than it does about me.
>You are so desperate for validation that you use classical music as a coping mechanism to signal to people online that you are intelligent.
If that was the case, why would I use classical music? No one has ever considered me intelligent for listening to classical music; the only response to my admiration for it has been people like you spewing the same nonsense. I would have simply been shilling Fantano 10/10s and /mu/core if my objective was to appear intelligent to a common retard; however, I am not fond of any of that music.
>You entered this thread with the intention of signaling that you're smart, I don't know, probably because you're one of those dweebs that was smart in middle school, built your personality around being smart, but fell off in college and so you cling to any thing to convince yourself (and other people) that you're smart.
This seems like a psychological projection. As previously stated, I never built up a reputation for being smart; my primary goal in school was to get by with minimal effort. My only explanation for why you have this view of me is if you yourself at one point were like this and, due to a certain event, try your best to reject it in order to gain validation from others. No ordinary person would make up a story this detailed about someone's music preference.

That has nothing to do with my post. The fact is Anno owes a lot more to Miyazaki and Itano and Tomino didn't do much. For his live action films, he constantly says he is indebted to Kihachi Okamoto and Ishiro Honda.
More than half of your claims are wrong by the way. Devilman and Zambot weren't mentioned by Anno himself but by other staff. He only said that he wanted to make his Gundam but ended up with his Ideon, which is to say that other directors didn't make their own iterations of Eva (and we know the reason why nobody reiterated Eva). Gunbuster is a parody and everyone knows that. Miyazaki refused to do the canned project himself. Why wouldn't they take it up when NHK came to Gainax? He didn't even want to be the director for it but only agreed to do it because no one else was up for it and even left it in the middle only to return for the finale. And you missed the biggest inspiration for Nadia: Yamato.
I like how you left out his live action films (L&P and Shiki-jitsu) because it doesn't fit your narrative. /a/ tourists just love to regurgitate whatever other retards on there fed them. Just go back and stay there.

>I'm not here to play armchair psychologist
He says, right after playing armchair psychologist and exposing his own insecurity.
>but your two posts alone scream "validate me", with how quickly you are to gloat about IQ,
I used IQ a single time, as a buzzword to my own admission. Still, that is a weirdly specific one to point out.
>how quick you are to gloat about how "advanced" the music you listen to is, and your constant "my art is objectively better than yours".
I don't gloat about how much more advanced it is; I simply state that soundtracks do not have much value on their own. Which is an objective fact.
Play the EVA OST in a world where EVA does not exist; nobody would remotely care for it.
>Fuck off faggot, I hope you don't post in the classical general because I'd be embarrassed sharing a thread with you.
The fact that you post in that general while having these opinions on classical music says enough about why that general has gotten so tremendously shit over the years. I'm just going to assume you are either the maho tranny or the sisterposter.
