>>157075564
I'll concede he phoned it in for seraph of the end. I don't think we can judge recreators yet if the full ost isn't out. I think a.z should be top and xeno mid/low. kabeneri top but blue exorcist is probably the best after uc/gc.

also it turns out he does quite a bit of music for drama series, judging from his best of album.

I would sit through a live performance of the entire OST of kimi no na wa but at a minimum, radwimps

Are you implying that she did not create OSTs for Mai-HIME, .hack, Tsubasa Chronicles and many other anime? Because that's exactly what she is always getting credit for.

Why would anyone feel offended by the fact that she indeed writes godlike OPs/EDs? Majority of people in this thread are mostly known for their instrumental OSTs, not for songs.

surely the popularity of series had little to do with this poll. certainly it was all about the music.

>>157088581
uh, you have a source for this? or are you one of these people who thinks the use of an extant musical motif constitutes plagiarism and that because Kanno uses them Kanno actually doesn't write anything?

>Why would you believe random anon without any source?


I don't, I'm just confused as to why he went to an argument for why a single song was composed by someone else when his claim is disproportionately broader than that. Normally people who say "Kanno doesn't write" also think she's plagiarist (the former entailing the latter) and argue for it by comparing like three of her songs with non-Japanese songs that use the same melody or something.

But, NLA really is so fucking terrible it's like coating a gold bar in shit and then saying JUST IGNORE THE SHIT, IT'S GREAT OTHERWISE.

nah, I mean he's good but his stuff is fairly typical japanese world psybient-like. been going on since osamu kitajima at least in the 70s.

I probably wouldn't be watching anime if it wasn't for hirasawa, though. was so impressed by his music that I checked out the anime he scored. kon's stuff was all boring enough that it actually kept me away from anime for a while, but then I watched berserk and half a decade later my room is filled with little girl figures. susumu did this to me.

The only decent stuff he made was Sengoku Basara, Gundam Unicorn and Blue Exorcist. At least they sounded different and creative. After that his soundtracks have been the same shit over and over and over again. He became a one-trick pony. It's sad that he seems to be unable to reinvent himself.
