The music of 2003 has left such a lasting impact on me musically. So much so, in fact, that pretty much the whole soundtrack has become an emotional trigger 😂

Oshima's strings can transcend time and space to deliver me sorrow at any given moment.

Bratja and Dante's Theme and that beautiful Romani song in Cos and so many others make 03's soundtrack my favorite anime soundtrack of all time. I still listen to the music off and on to this day.

CRIMINALLY low views! I love both adaptations and if I'm honest I love original OST more, it felt more personal, while the Brotherhood more like epic scale. Can't wait for the second part!

I feel very similarly! I think both soundtracks are super effective, but like the adaptations themselves, they accomplish something different. I can see preferring one or another, but the emotional resonance Oshima’s score is unrivaled! Thanks for watching! ^~^

YAS. I still think he's one of the most under-discussed hugely influential composers in the realm of film music! His sense of harmony is unparalleled!

Absolutely! It’s an instrument that’s very particular to orchestrate around since it has such a hushed timbre, but Senju uses it really well!

Maan I love these Soundtracks!!! For Me the FMA Brotherhood Soundtrack is trully something special. It has something very nostalgic and fits the Plot perfectly. I arranged some of my favorite pieces from this Soundtrack and I must say: This is trully a Masterpiece! Cool Analysis! I loved how you compared this two Masterpieces! It has real theoretical value!

It’s hard to contest how much of an impact 03’s score had on the legacy of FMA and its fandom. I truly think it’s one of the best anime scores ever written. Senju really had a tall task following it up, but I think he delivered!

Excellent video. I'm sad I didn't see this sooner.

The memories arising from this video bring me closer to tears than anything has in a long time, and reminded me of why I wanted to compose music in the first place. What a perfect summary of why lovers of music should watch both series, regardless of literary-narrative preference. While I personally prefer 2003 as a story, there is no doubt that Requiem for a Brig. Gen. is extremely powerful and your score showcase brings it out wonderfully. Liked & subscribed.

Would you be willing to do something like this for Evangelion score?

Which version of Brothers is used at the start of the intro? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
