damn tough imo love unicorn and kara no kyoukai ost both so much

sawano has this distinctive tune aka same shit

Kajiura had more good shows under her belt before she stopped doing anything new, but I liked AnE's soundtrack far more than any of Kajiura's stuff. Ultimately they're both repetitive shit now, but Kajiura maybe a little less so.

Nothing from Kaijura can top Unicorn or Ao no Exorcist.

I still lover her work though.

Who cares?

I put the best bgms into my Sawano folder.

...

Fits on either board, but is more relevant to Sup Forums due to the particular artists being discussed.

Now fuck off and neck yourself, faggot.

DEY BOTH SUCK BIG DONKEY DICK

Susumu Hirasawa

Tanaka FUCKING Kouhei

Both are shit

They are btoh one trick ponies

Voted Kajiura. Why? Her composition in this:

youtube.com/watch?v=h6vejDDdKxQ

Iwasaki Taku

Sup Forums is too busy masturbating to In the aeroplane over the sea to give two shits about your talentless hack animu composers

Lil Wayne

>what is mai-hime
>what is madoka
>what is noir

Sawano makes cool sounds, Kajiura composes great emotional melodies.

All shit tbqdesu

ever since Attack on Titan some shows has started to adopt this obnoxious cliche where the music rises to this clusterfuck of orchestra whenever some character shouts inspiring quotes or talks about how he's going to definitely succeed in whatever the fuck he's gonna try.

Sawano and Kajiura are both shit and have been pre-established in this thread. You basically saying anything is shit in here is like saying water is wet.

Kajiura hasn't been spammed like Sawano in recent years, so for now she's "better". Also helps that even though her music is equally repetitive, it sounds much better than Sawano's same old drops.

Don't blame the composers
blame temp music

>making anime
>okay so everything is animated we just need the soundtrack
>director is in love with Attack on Titan
>slap the AoT OST over their anime for temporary music
>director: actually wait, this music is perfect, let's use this
>composer:yeah but isn't it, you know, illegal to just use this music
>director: just emulate it.

If you ever wonder why some soundtracks from certain shows sounds a lot like a soundtrack from another show, now you know why.

Kajiura. This is easy.

Producers/sound designers/whatever should definitely stop hiring Sawano for spectacular action shows.

Well, it's okay, but not a reason to not try something else guys. His TV dramas soundtracks sound more diverse.

Damn you Sony Music/Aniplex.

Btw I hope Heaven's Feel OST will be great. Please Kajiura do your best.

it's the same cookie cutter method too

>music slowly rising
>music stops for a second so we can hear the character scream at the top of his lungs or say some stupid shit
>BUUHHHHH DUUUUUUUUHHH DUHHHH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's lazy

>kajiura is dominating the polls

Retarded Fatefags are at it again.

Voted Sawano, but neither is anywhere near my favorites.

This practice is also to blame for a lot of "plagiarism" cases I think. It's still not enough to explain Yoko Kanno though.

I like Kalafina and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I came here to post this.

Kill yourself.

t. Retarded Fatefag

Shiro Sagisu

Mozart

Zero has a great soundtrack, yes. Nowhere near her strongest though.

Mai HiME's soundtrack shits on everything Sawano could ever hope to make.

same here, first album was great

FictionJunction > Kalafina

Kajiura sounds less like knockoff Hans Zimmer, so that it makes her better by default.

FictionJunction has some great songs, but it's just a name to gather most of Kajiura's songs, even though now we might think it is a group composed of Wakana-Yuriko-Keiko-Kaori.

Kalafina is a true unified group.

Both are (were) great imo.

Sawano /thread

Unicorn shits all over that and anything Kajiura could ever make.

...

Tatsuya Kato

Both make the same stuff everytime

No idea who those 2 are

Remember when Kajiura literally reused a Fate Zero track in SAO?

Unicorn is the single best OST of any show so it has to be Sawano.

Overall though he has become repetitive.

t. Aniplex shil

No. Can you give examples of that?

No one
Yoko Kanno and Taku Iwasaki are better than both

Kajiura's good, but Unicorn alone is way better than everything she has ever made.

Post Unicorn Sawano is shit though.

The real question OP is:
Who are better western or eastern composers?

Susumu hirasawa is amazing. But his stuff doesn't really fit with everything.

Compare this: youtu.be/PxZov8-DBHo
to this: youtu.be/ad5TszNUVYI

NOT EVEN A DISTANT LAND
WE'RE STUCK ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT PLANET

>he will never come back

You're fooled by the instruments which are the same, it's not exactly the same melody. But each track would both work well in either Fate or SAO, I'll give you that.

/thread

>/threading your own post

Kill yourself.

Cry some more Sawanofag.

Never understood why Sup Forums gets all assblasted over them for being "repetitive" while people like Yasuhara get a free pass.

In fact, most anime composers are guilty of it. You only take notice of these two because their soundtracks are actually worth remembering.

Nice try faggot.

who

>Yasuhara
Literally who?

Sawano is the best
Kajiura doesn't fucking work

Shikata >>>> power gap >>> everyone else

Heavens Feel and Zaregoto baby

Sawano has done one fantastic soundtrack. Kajiura has done zero (unless you count Boogiepop and Others which isn't anime).

Sawano is a breath of fresh air in the anime landscape

Among his best work, and better than a lot of Kajiura's catalogue.

Really, you could just get this OST and you'd have no reason to listen to 90% of Sawano's work.

Post your favorite Sawano track.

Awesome song, but I went to check out the series it was for and WHAT?

Is the OST out already?

Give a try, seriously.

>Mediocre pop rock vs mediocre string arrangements
wew lad

Puppets are the future of anime. Get with the times, gramps.

>Post Unicorn Sawano is shit though
Blue Exorcist was after Unicorn, though. If you liked Unicorn's then you should definitely listen to it, since it was actually his last good soundtrack before AoT ahegao'd every anime director in the past decade and ensured we'd never hear anything else from Sawano again.

Maybe they are. I have a co-worker that wanted me to watch the OP for this show and he's a normal fag that doesn't even watch anime.

Puppets creep me out though. I feel bad they do because I feel like people that love puppets probably hear that all the time. But thats how it do.

Guilty Crown and Thunderbolt are great
He hasn't lost his touch yet

Because Yasuhara has only one good soundtrack and it's for a terrible show where it's the only redeeming aspect. Everything else is just a really phoned in version of that soundtrack.

seriously who is yasuhara

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuharu_Takanashi
His good one is FT.

It seems the soundtracks he composes for TV dramas don't have this problem tho.

shit, I know who Yasuharu is but I thought Yasuhara was a different person. love all his music especially mononoke and shippuden.

I fully agree.

His music is lovely.

>everyone praises Unicorn
>no one remembers Gigantic Formula
>no one remembers Sawano's 20-minute orchestral masterpiece

clyp.it/nwr1azn2

Why does nothing he make sound anywhere nearly as good as this anymore?

>the whole thing
Holy fucking shit, my penis

youtu.be/60WOqycti4Y

It's the curse of Guilty Crown.

>Mononoke
>Shiki

These are both great. Admittedly a lot of his stuff tends to be some form of Precure rehash, though.

Sawashit ruined Xenoblade, fuck him.

Obviously it's Kajiura.

Nintendo USA ruined Xeno first anyway.

I miss when Sawano didn't shove vocals into every fucking thing.

Kajiura is the fuck of a one trick pony but her pieces are more memorable IMO. She's also got this talent for making you want to do air violin.

Sawano is more varied but isn't as catchy.

Sawano's OST for Sengoku Basara 1&2 were fucking amazing. Sadly he never did similar stuff again.
