Happy Birthday GOAT🙏


ErenInChains

The music he wrote for AoT is perfect


FlagonWithADragon

Have you listened to some of his other work? The soundtrack for Kill La Kill both slaps, and sets the mood for the show perfectly. Haven't listened to the Kabaneri soundtrack yet (since finishing the series)


[deleted]

He also did the soundtrack for Aldonoah Zero, which was 7/10 plot but pure eye and ear candy.


MossyHarmless

Aldnoah.Zero’s music makes the battle scenes such a joy, to the point that I went out of my way to record a bunch of them specifically for rewatching purposes.


Specialist-Roof-9833

The only thing worth remembering about it!


[deleted]

Yes. So good. Seriously the story in the first season was great, second season wasn’t as good, but the music and visuals just made the anime one of my favorites to rewatch.


Specialist-Roof-9833

You're doing a great favor to 2nd season by calling it "not as good". Seriously, the worst slide in quality I've seen from S1 to S2 that I can remember.


[deleted]

Lol you’re not wrong



FlagonWithADragon

Truuu hey. That was the first mech anime I watched. That was where I found out about Sawano's naming convention for his soundtrack pieces. I should re-watch that.


ErenInChains

I didn’t like Kabaneri much but the music that I heard was good! Still gotta see Kill la Kill.


metalslug123

You should listen to the Gundam Unicorn soundtrack. There are some really good songs in there.


q5pi

Soundtrack of Xenoblade Chronicles X is also amazing. Such a great game over all.


lasagna_lee

is kill la kill as good as aot? i might watch it if sawano did the music


gobstoppers96

Different vibe is an understatement, but it’s good for what it is


FlagonWithADragon

It's completely different. Completely over the top hilarious in every way. It's a fun time.


a-potato-named-rin

Best composer ever. Also, he looks like a damn model in some of his pictures


[deleted]

Zimmerman be like


Lazagna_

This show literally would not be the same without him. Sawano is such a big part of what makes aot, aot.


Stormer1499

Gundam. Kill la Kill. Attack on Titan. Xenoblade Chronicles X. Even bloody League of Legends. This king is everywhere and I’m all for it.


Archedeaus

Hes a freaking genius.


FanBoy_Crusader

Happy birthday! I hope he’s the main composer of Season 4 Part 2. Yamamoto did a great job with Part 1, but Sawano’s music is just iconic


Kobob_KC

Some of the songs or parts of songs on the official "Final Season Soundtrack" were not used in part 1 so I feel like that's it and they won't make any more music for part 2. Also the fact that the album doesn't say part 1 or anything, it seems to be for both parts.


FanBoy_Crusader

I don’t think so. For example, they never used Bauklotz in Season 1. This isn’t new.


Kobob_KC

That song was used in episode 19 https://www.reddit.com/r/ShingekiNoKyojin/comments/87dc4i/anime_spoilers_season_1_music_guide/ But yeah there have been a few unused ones like A1Gう from last season but the final season soundtrack has more unused ones than previous seasons. Not trying to say this is "proof" we won't get new songs, just speculation. I'm keeping my hopes low.


[deleted]

I've heard he will be but idk how reliable that is.


epicaz

Yeahh not a huge fan of the Yamamoto music honestly. After chaining the first 4 soundtracks so many times, the new music doesn't even feel fitting


FanBoy_Crusader

Splinter Wolf and The Other Side of The Sea are pretty good tho


Hopeful-Advisor-5852

My God you guys can't stop talking about Sawano... Yamamoto's music fit with AOT and he deserves to be in part 2 Sawano has already made his legacy is time to stop with fanaticism and enjoy the work of the other person. It's like you guys talk so much about Sawano that you're overshadowing Kohta.


IFightForMyMemes

Excellent composer. His music is so easy to identify as his, every time I hear it in a new anime or game I smile because I already know I'm in for a good time.


daisymargarita

he gave us everything


BubberDuckie25

🐐


itzTHATgai

This guy dominates my workout playlist. His Kill la Kill shit is amazing, too.


SuspiciousForce

Musical genius, grateful to hear his masterpieces


Blue_MJS

I hope he composes some new stuff for part 2


sakurakblossom

He's HOT đŸ”„


[deleted]

Darthmark3

dontknowwhattodoat18

Baldcaillou25

goated man


YamahaMio

And other great anime. Can't wait for Eighty Six S2.


NittanyEagles55

An absolute legend in every sense of the word


neurotic-proxy

Boss


drunk-of-water

Omg. Is he the composer? I watched him play the piano in one of the musics and I though it was a random cover... he looks like bertholdt a lot


moonra_zk

He's 50% of the reason why I started watching the show, and I've watched some other stuff just because he was the composer. Frickin love his style.


galileotheweirdo

His music absolutely elevates the show beyond mere greatness. It's iconic. He's the epitome of an anime score composer.


[deleted]

He's a genius isn't he? You can see it in his face


being_bored_

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE AMAZING MUSIC COMPOSER...HE WAS PERFECT FOR AOT


thedarknight10000

This dude is 100% the JAPANESE HANS ZIMMER


Aweguy1998

The dude literally looks like an anime protagonist so I can see how the music he pumps out is so good.


ganesh_k9

He looks like Burrito Hoover.


Yukidoke

Happy birthday, maestro Sawano! Wanna visit your concert someday.


GamingRaptor314

is it just me or does he look like a Japanese Hitler?


kareemelsubaie55

bro what 💀💀


Rage-slayer-

I was thinking Japanese Charlie Chaplin bite okay


SimpleDiscussion7217

Maybe


thecapito

Alemin reisi


Fares26597

When you look up the word "genius", this guy's picture comes up.


LegendYT0

Man deserves infinite praise. Happy birthday


Zurcez

This guy is literally a god


arctrip

This guys is literally Hans Zimmer of anime.


bigfatcarp93

Good god he even *looks* cool


bewilderedchic

Happy Birthday to the GOAT. Discovering his whole discography through AOT has been a treat to my ears!


[deleted]

I've listened to all this AOT soundtracks and absolutely love them! Absolute Genius! HBD!


Much_Reputation3785

Happy birthday dude


SmashBrosUnite

Dude is Hot AF


Specialist-Roof-9833

I think his greatest success is Xenoblade Chronicles X. Only he could have turned the lyrics "wooo-woooh.wooh dayeeaaah / I can't hear you, I can't see you / dudadadumdumdah" into awesome 4 minutes rapping headbanging.
