This is definitely my favourite track from the entire show, and surprisingly, it was a track that I almost did not notice in the show if I had not gone back to rewatch the scene.
It was just total luck that I actually went back to the scene to read the subtitles again and I noticed this track. The scene itself was extremely amazing and I was so engrossed in the show that I never noticed anything else that might have been going on.
Soon as I noticed this track, at first I was like this is a fair track. I and probably many other people could hear a resemblance between this track's first half and witcher 3's track called kaer morhen. However the second half of the track was so good, I genuinely got goosebumps at the second half with that piano tune. While this track also has a fair contrast between the first and second half, this time however I feel a sense of continuity in the track which does not make it seem like two different tracks. The overall atmosphere is very well maintained throughout the first half, the middle transition and the second half.
The track starts off with some really nice and melodious guitar notes, with I think some Chinese string instrument ( I guess pipa ) supporting it in the background. Both go really well together and make a really nice sort of a medieval theme which goes really nice with the story being told at the time it was played in the show (especially in the last episode where the background of this video is also from). The tune is very soothing and quite straightforward with no sort of over the top complexities. Just a simple and very calming and melodious tune.
At 0:44, another instrument is added to the same tune adding a different sort of variation to the tune. I think its from the xylophone family, i am guessing a marimba but not sure.
This new instrument only comes in for a short while upto 1:09 and then the track shifts into a sort of a middle part or as I like to call it a transition phase. The track still has that acoustic guitar in the background, but this time very much dampened and muffled. Also piano is added in this part, which is why I call it a transition part as it has the elements of the previous tune, as well as the tune after it playing together in a really nice and soft manner. The tune however is different from both the first part and the coming part, but in no way incoherent. Its very subtle and complements the atmosphere really nicely.
This transition part ends at 1:37 and oh boy the actual best part of the track starts off at this time. I genuinely have no words how much I absolutely loved this part of the track in that scene in the last episode. This was also the reason I never probably noticed the track was because the first half of the track was something that was nice but not really that grabbing for me. The scene in the show was so grabbing that I probably never really got to notice the change in the track in background. I genuinely wholeheartedly love this second half of the track so much. The guitar plays the prelude to the main tune of the second half extremely well not to mention those very very soft and almost quiet violins in the background that complement the guitar and the entire second half.
I absolutely love these sort of small parts of tune being placed out apart from each other. What I mean by this is from 1:37 you can see the music come, and then it takes a pause for a second, and then the tune continues again. Its like sort small bursts of guitar where it plays the small section, then pauses for a second, then continues. I absolutely fell for this.
Not to mention when the track goes into the main tune of the second half at 2:01, absolutely marvelous. The piano tune is so soft and soothing and very emotional. The guitar in the background is so amazing and if you notice it more, you will realize the guitars are actually playing the tune they played in the first half. Absolutely no words for those soft violins complementing the emotional atmosphere so well. Definitely the piano tune will be the highlight, but I can definitely say all the instruments in this main part have an equally important role and absolutely nothing feels out of place.
That very small transition from the prelude of the second half to the main tune from 1:58 to 2:01 was also really really nice with that piano taking it up from that time and going into the main theme. Whats even better is how the track goes up a notch at 2:25 with that piano run from high to low notes. And at last, if listened closely, there is also another instrument, very very faint in the background with a sort of sound that I am not sure is out of which instrument, but its kind of rapid and probably can be heard at little more clearly 2:46 onwards before the closing piano.
I absolutely love this track.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Koutetsujou no Kabaneri mix [SP]
Well almost 2 days late compared to the date I promised this upload will be on.
Got a bit of work since I had to shift my OS to a new Hard drive.
But I digress.
This is more like a Grenzlinie/Ninelie instrumental mix. The entire video contains 3 tracks, 2 of which are from the outtracks disc and one is from the main soundtrack disc.
The one from the main soundtrack disc is an insert song, so theres that.
Btw this video is blocked in Japan so sorry for that.
I kind liked the Piano version of Icon/ninelie (the first track). It gets a bit too plain sometimes, but is still good to hear occasionally.
The second track, is I believe a modified version of noname. noname is one of my all time favourites and I highly rate that track. So it is given that the modified version had to be here. Pretty awesome version.
Well I kind screwed up on naming this (It is not Grenzlinie ~Piano ver~).Definitely not piano version lol. My mistake.
To be honest, I had to do like 5 renders to get this correct. Sometimes AE was not being configured properly, other times I did mistake on keyframing which I noticed after render was complete. After like 5 tries, I was so exhausted that I really just could not fix the issues anymore. Sorry for this. Ill just use annotation to fix that.
The third track, well if its good or not, Ill leave the decision to you.
Its in this video because I like it, but since its an insert track, its not to everyones liking.
No rating for this since there are multiple tracks.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Comeback (Short ver.) [ Koutetsujou no Kabaneri ]
Sorry for the particle issue at the start and at the end. Forgot to change the flowrate, yet again ~.
Been busy these 2 weeks, project submissions and what not.
Was a bit free in the evening was worked at this video, otherwise this was supposed to be delayed :p
Anyways, coming to the track.
This was the track I first noticed in Kabaneri of the iron fortress, and trust me when i say this, I was desperately trying to control myself from finding the track before finishing the series.
This track is so amazingly good, especially the part in the start from 0:18 . If I only had to rate that part, this track would have been in EP series. This part creates such a tense and on the edge environment, I have no words. It is like the perfect track for when the main character tries to do some hardcore stuff and struggles his way through.
After that part, the track goes down and becomes a more conclusive(cant find right word)/ambient type mix. At around 1:24
And at the end, this track again picks itself up with a really good mix of instruments at around 3:26. Those damn amazing violins and piano tune(i think piano is kinda modified by some studio tools). Especially those short and rapidly changing violin notes in the background, really amazing. Kinda have to hear it closely to hear them.
Kabaneri is like a gold mine of amazing tracks, and hiroyuki sawano is just a god. People do call him right, Hans Zimmer of Japan.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - XL-TT (Short ver.) [ Attack on Titan ]
In the past, I have never really uploaded many tracks from attack on titan, at least from the first season.I do value the tracks highly, but the reason for it was because the show was fairly popular and anything I would have uploaded would most likely be something people would have already listened. Back then, I had a plethora of other, more less popular but quite good tracks to upload and due to that, I decided that I would only just stick to very few attack on titan uploads.
I was just going through what to upload the last few weekdays and realized that fair amount of AOT tracks are pending. Since I am just doing many filler uploads now-a-days anyway, I thought it might be a good chance to get these ones out as well.
Coming to the track, this track has a mix of different emotions in different parts. For example, the first part from the start of the track with those heavy drums, choir, church bells, and violins represent feeling of urgency and sense of danger quite nice. If I remember correctly, this part played when the female titan was chasing the scouts in the second half of first season. And to be honest, this first part is my favourite in the entire track. On top of it being very fitting for the background music, the beats are also quite catchy with that choir.
The small variations in the same tune are quite nice and really enhance the overall atmosphere this track generates. Like at 0:22 those violins picks up their pace, and the beats slow down a little in the background, and then beats come back but pace of violins remain the same. These sort of variations really fit the changing scenes where this track plays. Its like, even with the Sense of danger kind of feeling this track gives, there are different levels of that feeling that different parts of this track portray. Some are higher level, other are lower level.
For some reason, there is some sort of, well, at least unique tune in the middle of the this first part. I am not sure if Id say its nice. It just feels..different..disjointed. But since its small, its fine i guess~
The first part, Id say takes a break at 1:37 and another tune takes its place for a short time, which is more on the emotional side of the track. Its quite short, so it doesnt fit right to call it a part, but it again represents those variations that I talked about. The track doesnt stay static at one type throughout and keeps giving different themes. This thing is nice, but as with many tracks from Sawano, the entire track is usually many tracks combined as I have said in the past in many of his tracks I have uploaded lol. Its rare to find a track that one can actually call one track when listening to his music. So many tracks do need some cropping.
Anyway, after that small break in the middle, the track goes back to its original theme and continues on for a few more seconds. The ending of this track is, something I would call fair. Not my favourite, but not bad either.

![MOSAIC.WAV - Fight for a shining tomorrow [ Gakkou Gurashi! ]
Gakkou gurashi! was not something which I enjoyed watching a lot. The first episode had one hell of a twist, but after that, I just didnt feel the story much. Except the ending maybe, end was pretty emotional and heartbreaking, but a good one none the less.
As for the tracks, only this track really piqued my interest. And by this, I mean I liked this track on a pretty extreme level. This track, overflows with the emotions of desperation and helplessness.
The name of the track itself just gives away its feel. One of the best track names(official) Ive seen so far.
So damn amazing. 1:54 part is so great to hear. I only wish the anime was a bit better.
My opinion about the anime might not go with the consensus this time because I am really not into this type of anime of school girls. Especially kids, I am not comfortable watching them haha.
The start of the track also really creates a nice, dark, atmosphere, which really enhances the overall quality of the track.
Having a track, which can easily depict the emotions of a scene or an anime as a whole, I believe there is nothing greater than that. This track, is just marvelous.
PS : I really like this background. Decided to use this way back when I just finished this anime.
I finished this anime around 1 year back. So you guys (the regular watchers) should get an idea about how much backlog I have there which is yet to be posted on the channel XD.

![Kevin Penkin - OhKami [ Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari ]
This video might be a little bit lower in quality compared to other of my videos. This is not because of my rendering options, but because I had to add little noise to the video for hiding compression artifacts in the background which in turn requires higher bitrate to preserve the quality. This is somewhat higher than the bitrate youtube uses for videos.
Anyways, lets come to the track. I am fairly sure most of you would have guessed that this would be the final track Id be covering when I mentioned that this week would be the last upload for this series. I really liked this track right when I first heard it. The filolial queen part was really a solid arc for this show. The scene was absolutely amazing, and combined with this track really made a badass atmosphere.
I really like this track a lot, but what I am about to say might not be in agreement with many of you. The track starts off really solid and those fast paced piano notes with drums rapidly intensified the atmosphere. The 0:14 part is even better than the start, I really like how the piano tune in the start still faintly repeats in the background (I think it does upon listening to it countless times, but I cannot say 100%) along with fast and short violin strings. The overall atmosphere these two parts create is really just amazing to hear in my opinion. This great part continues upto the middle of the track, around 1:25. However I am not really a fan of the saxophone. I dont mean to say it doesnt sound right, its just, I feel it to be kinda disjointed when it first arrives around 1:26. But I fairly like it at 2:17. Id say the middle part was not really the best in my opinion, but it wasnt bad either.
For me the start of this track just takes away the cake, with the rest being a nice followup with a great end to the track as well.

![Kensuke Ushio - Lit ( Koe no Katachi)
Best soundtrack from Koe no katachi is this one, hands down.
Liked it upon hearing it for the first time, and I still listen to it from time to time. Piano tune is so darn good, love it.
I think for everybody I can say this, 0:43 is what all of you are looking for haha.
This anime was quite good, and the ending was damn touchy. Really amazing end.
And a major part of that end was this track I think, really set up that emotion perfectly.
Alright as for the video, I apologize, things didnt really come out as I planned they would and I just created this video today as I came home late last 2 days.
Those confetti type might have turned out better if I spent some time providing good colour scheme for them. Each of them looks pretty same in colour (even though I set it to generate random color, which I dont know why did not reflect in the video), which is kinda dull.
And also did not get time to adjust the audio bar, but well, I think its overall pretty fine.

![Keiichi Hirokawa - Tomorrow with you [ Garo : Vanishing Line ]
I like to keep by hand back when it comes to uploading vocal songs since my main aim is actual instrumental BGMs, but some are just so good in their melody, I cant contain them in me.
The main highlight of this song is its instruments. The vocals do not have that sharpness in them, making them pretty nice to hear and calmy.
As I said, the main highlight, at least for me, are the instrumental background of this music. Its just so calm and melodious~ I noticed this track mainly because of its instrumentals. It was later I realized that it is a vocal track.
Well I am not disappointed, but still, an instrumental version might have been very nice.
I was on vacation and just came back home, so did not get time to complete previous weeks upload. I originally planned on another track, but tbh, I was just a little tired and since I already had the background of this track decided, I went ahead with this. That said, I like this track equally as the other one (which will be up this weekend).

This soundtrack is one of the best of its peers , it brings about an ominous sense of strength and is quite engaging with its composition.
It also represents the feeling of going into battle perfectly all the while making sure everyone is captivated by the animation, an explosion of will and emotion .

![Fukasawa Hideyuki - Start of a new journey [ Katsugeki / Touken Ranbu ]
This is my personal favourite rendition of the this animes main theme.
I really like the way this track starts out slow and sets up the atmosphere, and then picks up at the Minute mark.
The scene in episode 8 where this track played had a good impact as well. Really like the part where **minor spoilers** the first unit comes back and mikazuki orders kanesada to do what he must. I especially liked how mikazuki ensures that things would be alright even though the first unit has their doubts.

![Asami Tachibana - Code:002 [ Darling in the Franxx ]
At first, I thought this was some sort of rendition of the ED song. It was quite a while (a very long while) later that I realized that this song was actually a rendition of Vanquish.
I never really gave much attention to this track mainly because of how mesmerized I was with vanquish and how much I listened to that on repeat, every day, continuously. Only once I decided to find the rest of the tracks in the show, I relistened this and liked it quite a bit as well. I thought of keeping it in my SP series (yeah, so many uploads I have thought of keeping in SP but ended here lol) but again, the rendition is pretty different and does not entirely represent vanquish. Only a small part of it.
The name of this track clearly shows this is meant to be a theme of 02, but I believe most of the watchers (including me) consider vanquish to be the main theme of 02, other tracks really just pale in comparison.
The track starts off slow with piano, but really picks up at the start of violins from 0:27. One can clearly hear the second half of vanquish from 0:27 to 0:39, as well as from 0:58. I really like how they did not go completely reproducing vanquish, the track has its own pieces of composition combined with vanquish to make a really great track. I originally noticed this track in 3rd episode but actually noted it down in the 11th episode. I gotta say, the selection of this track during the 3rd episode part was really good. The scene was really amazing.

![Tatsuya Kato - Kanousei no Utsuwa [ Shokugeki no souma: San no sara ]
As per the post on the channel last week, I had to skip that weekends upload and postpone it to this due to college exams. I want to talk about this a little but ill save that for the end of my description for this track.
This track is from third season of shokugeki no souma, but I actually found it during the watch of my fourth season. This show got a lot of my attention in its first season when it came to its soundtrack. Few tracks got my attention in the first season and some of those tracks became one of my all time favourites ( Study both sweet and sour is one example ). Then in the second season, the track called Signature Dish also grabbed on the same level. However with third and fourth season there was not a track that really grabbed me similarly. There were some good tracks definitely like the one in this video, but none grabbed me like the previous ones.
However with that said, I do like this track. I noticed it during the 8th episode of fourth season, and was an instant mark for me.
The start and ending tune of this track is super soft, pleasant and great to hear. The main instrument I believe is koto in those parts. Its honestly those parts that grabbed my highest attention, the middle part of the track is something I would say fine. I mostly listen to this track for its first and last part. The japanese theme is portrayed nicely throughout the track for the character this track belongs to ( kinokuni nene ). This track doesnt seem to be the one that could have feelings attached to it. It feels to be one of those kinds that fill in the characters theme, or in this shows case, a good cooking theme for that character haha.
The flute part 1:18 is also a very good part, the instrument I believe is shakuhachi.
The name of this track is also one that I really liked. A translation via google says it translates to A vessel of possibilities, which actually went really well with the scene where it was played in the 4th season during the talk between isshiki and nene. Ill not spoil what the talk was about, but the name really holds well, and since I found the track in that scene I am very satisfied with the name too.

Now coming to the reason I postponed the last weeks upload essentially skipping it. The reason for skipping instead of uploading two tracks this week is something that directly ties to what I said some weeks back, that I am running out of tracks. I used to have a big bundle of pending tracks that I had to upload but that bundle has grown small as I have lately been watching less number of shows, and sometimes the shows I watch dont have something I like enough to be uploading here.
Anyway this would be a rare occurance, as its not like I want to make it a bi-weekly series now lol, I already have a fairly slow upload rate, dont want to worsen it haha. Tatsuya Kato - Kanousei no Utsuwa [ Shokugeki no souma: San no sara ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kpiJ_umFB50/mqdefault.jpg)
