We got an edgelord here folks.

>>145784979
You're misspelling Shiro Hamaguchi.

I'm a better composer than Sawano, and I've never made a piece of music in my life.

>>145786967
Great choice anon.
yeah he is great but I dont know, Yoko kANO has more titles under her belt no?

>>145789619
Who's the bitch on the left

>Plagiarists aren't hacks
You get exactly one (You) because you're new, don't expect any more out of me.

>>145789819

The new most overrated composer in anime. Does like one really loud vocal based style that is really intrusive but people like him anyway cause everything he does is super loud and "get hype".

>>145790168

Oh and he also does a soundtrack literally every season now and they've all kind of started to sound identical and he's clearly been phoning it in for a while now but again people still think he's absolutely amazing and will probably never grow tired of his one note style. I just miss big budget action anime not always having the same composer and virtually the same score.

>>145784979
Satoru Kosaki's work sold Monogatari for me, Nise and Tsuki is high point in terms of OST IMO

>>145790277
You're so mad it's almost funny.

>>145790168
His vocal shit was so unfitting in Attack on Trains it made action scenes difficult to watch.

>>145790297
>>145790297
sorry, meant to be Koi since Kei Haneoka did Tsuki

>>145790332
You're so dumb it's almost pitiful.

I see you are musically unlearned. Musicians take and rework songs all the time. Sometimes they rework it a lot, sometimes a little, and sometimes not enough, resulting in legal issues.

Reminder: only tasteless millennial fuccbois like Sawano

Sawano by far. Nothing comes close to Unicorn's OST.

>>145790332

Actually no I'm sharing an opinion that happens to be critical of something and probably differs from yours. There's a huge difference and the internet could stand to remember that but you know >>145790389 also makes a good point here.

>>145784979

Yoko Kanno is seen in Japan as some unknown anime composer

Hiroyuki Sawano got his start doing soundtracks for jdramas, movies, and then later became famous for his anime works, everyone in Japan (who cares about soundtracks which isn't many) knows of him

>>145790297

That guy is so bland. I dislike him for kind of the opposite reasons I do people like Sawano though if they have one similarity it's that they made their names by getting to compose for really popular shit more than anything.

>>145790566
You wouldn't be exaggerating so much if you were not that mad.

The only real answer

It's funny how both the people who praise and shit on Sawano haven't even listened to Unicorn. They judge him off Kill La Kill or Attack on Titan.

Man sorry but aside from a couple of people anime fans prove yet again that they have extremely bland one dimensional taste in scores with this thread.

>>145790613

No not at all. In fact none of this is true.

Going with Sawano just for the Ao no Exorcist soundtrack

>>145790668

I'm not exaggerating, the guys gotten super lazy and people don't seem to care from what I can see because loud+piercing vocals=always master class scoring to them. Again see the bit about opinions and how the world doesn't revolve around yours. You aren't that important.

>>145784979
Sawano has better fashion

>>145790715

I judge him based on the Iryu soundtrack TBQH

Cowboy Bebop is objectively better than Unicorn's OST.

>>145790715
I'm pretty neutral to Sawano but I really like his work on GC

>>145789819
He makes music for the shitty anime from that gif you're using. You ought to lurk more until you know that.

>>145790715
>Unicorn
That's shit too, like the entirety of Gundam.

>>145790715

I have, thought Unicorn was fantastic and at one point was ready for more of him. Have felt that everything from Kill la Kill on has been mediocre at absolute best and having him crammed down my throat with every single design by committee to be popular action anime has gotten incredibly old in just a few years. I've never seen a more overused composer in any industry really. Certainly not with that kind of turnaround. The fact that he almost exclusively composers for super shitty Aniplex trainwrecks now isn't exactly helping me build good memories with his increasingly generic and shrieking vocals based soundtracks either. It's funny cause I felt he elevated Unicorn with his efforts there and that the music worked with just about everything scene but just about everything else from Kill la Kill onward seems to clash and makes otherwise okay scenes in anime kind of unpleasant to sit through at times. It's particularly bad with Kabaneri of The Iron Fortress and Owari no Seraph.

>>145790801
If you bothered to listen to the OSTs you wouldn't keep saying that. I won't blame you though, as the main problems come from the sound directors and the production committee wanting to prioritize the insert songs and the loud tracks despite all the excellent tracks that are forgotten behind.

Whoa anon, you gave him that blow just over a music discussion?

For a second there I thought I'd somehow missed an anime adaptation of this.

>GENIUS!

>>145790998

That's not helping matters for sure and the pressure to use him on things and push the insert songs he does is really obvious and annoying. It's obviously purely decided from a commercial standpoint cause obviously vocal stuff sells better than just straight showtunes.

>>145791110

Nope, 4 jdrama series

2013: AoT, KlK
2014: AZ, NnT
2015: Seraph, Mare
2016: Kabaneri, Thunderbolt Fantasy
2017: AoEx S2, AoT S2

Literally two shows per year and a bunch of OP/ED/Remixes

>>145791180

More like every "get hype" movie trailer ever made with all the chanting and what not. Again another composer where her best work is when she cuts the vocal crap and just focuses on creating atmospheric music. I don't worship her like so many do but then I'm not borderline brainwashed to praise the composers affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment like the rest of the community seems to be with how they are forever going on about Sawano[NzK] and Kajiura (Kalafina).

>>145790646
He does great job on acoustic and strings-heavy tracks though

>>145791318

Notice every single one of them barring Seraph and Titan is some mass marketed Aniplex trainwreck thing now too just in case you needed any hints on who is pushing the shit out of him lately, no doubt for commercial reasons. They also seem to love pushing him along with hack edgy writers like Urobuchi and Okouchi too. He's like the Sora Amamiya of soundtrack composers at this point.

>>145784979
Susumu hirasawa

>>145791395

I'm almost certain the first one is actually just licensed music (The Thieving Magpie by Rossini if I'm not mistaken) like what happened with Disappearance and Gymnopédie. The second one is some decent mood music, it's just too bad I find this franchise entirely unpalatable.

Is this a baby's first ost composer thread? The full starter 4 right off the bat.
Not to say that any of them are bad, but there are tons of great composers out there.

>>145790722

Tell me about it.

>>145790613
>Yoko Kanno is seen in Japan as some unknown anime composer
False Kanno is well known and her work extends far beyond just anime. Japan also knows her for composing music for commercials, this is the only composer whose work is so well known that they literally released albums for the commercial music that she's composed. She's also composes music for live action movies, in addition to videogames, and also gets hired by bands to compse and write music gir them.

I put great Yoko Anno songs into my average Sawano songs folder because he is that good

>>145784979
Sawano has his own style, Kanno has (copies) the style of others.

>>145790043
This.

The girl that sings DOA

Nanase Hikaru did some amazing work on Canaan and Requiem for the Phantom's OSTs.

But this whole thread boils down to opinions. People will like what they will.

>>145784979
Ichiko Hashimoto and old Yuki Kajiura albums are excellent. Out of male composers, I'd pick Toshihiko Sahashi and Kenji Kawai.

Kanno, but she's not my favorite.

Sawano is pretty samey, and most of his singers are shit.
