Best anime composers

People bitch about Miyazaki all the time, but we all agree that his composer Hisaishi is the best, right?

In order from best to least best. Probably some more I could stick in there, but I doubt this thread is going to take off anyway, I'm not going to rack my brain over it.

I think Joe's the best because movies are more ideal to score. Less repetition and more time to work. He had the greatest opportunities.

No Kenji Kawai?

FUCK YOU

Holy shit, how in the world could I have forgotten to include Satoru Kosaki?
I'm sorry it's late.

OTANI KO

Kenji Kawai
Susumu Hirasawa
Taku Iwasaki

Hirasawa is the best.
>TFW Hai Yo

Taku Iwasaki, because I like fun.

If we're talking about pure skill and variety, Iwasaki dominates the entire anime industry. Only Yoko Kanno can touch him when it comes to that, but even she is being accused of plagiarism by everyone.

Too bad all Iwasaki does nowadays are meme songs. I would much rather have another "Ko-To-Wa-Ri" then "AWAKEN MY MASTERS".

Kensuke Ushio > *

>variety
Er, I dunno if I'd say that, considering all his stuff from the past 6 years have been pretty formulaic. Like, Kawai is a composer who I'd say what you're saying about. None of his soundtracks sound anything alike, and basically all of them are fantastic.

Still, Iwasaki is more varied than a bunch of his peers, especially Kajiura and Sawano. However mostly I just think his music is really fun to listen to.

Joe Hisaishi is objectively the best. Everyone else mentioned in this thread is just treading water.

>I've watched less than twenty animes, guys

Watched over 500 actually. I've also listened to plenty of all the composers in this thread, and none of them come close to Hisaishi.

Idiots like you don't understand music.

>Sawano
poor mans ZUN

>Watched over 500 actually.

Your posts sure as hell don't show it, and I can make up numbers too.

>Idiots like you don't understand music.

Great argument, now back your claim if you can.

Iwasaki is the fedora tippers Sawano, nothing more.

How about Go Shiina?

>none of them come close to Hisaishi

Get a load of this faggot.

youtube.com/watch?v=8rNUPVWPquE

How is he anything like ZUN at all? What a fucking retarded thing to say.

I didn't know writing legible song names made you fedora-worthy.

Kenji Yamamoto would've been the fucking GOAT if it wasn't for the plagiarism

Fuck no. His sounds are generic.

t. sawanofag

t. kajiurafag

t. kannofag

At least Sawano is the author of his compositions

All 3 of them!

Doesnt make kanno any less plagiarist hag overrated by normalfags :)

Oh, I'm not that guy, I'm just making fun of you for thinking your favourite is any better than anyone elses favourite. The moment you bring in the >t.(whatever)fag faggotry is the moment you reveal yourself as a total fucking retard.

bawwwww more bitch

his iconic unicorn sounded like a touhou game composition.

I don't really hear it but alright. 2010 was a long time ago though and everything since has sounded nothing like that. That's kind of the problem with him.

>plagiarist

When will this meme stop.

>implying
might as well be a doujin artist for a touhou circle

Missing some Shiro Sagisu here.

Yoko kanno.

I'm not quite sure who I would consider the best, but definitely the one that gets me the most pumped or filled with pathos is Tanaka Kouhei.

His One Piece work is great and I probably would have dropped the anime if the music wasn't so good
