    I’ve played in orchestra so I understand that there’s a lot of moving parts to make something sound beautiful, but what Sawano does that is so genius is the most genuine and purest form of the word cacophony. There’s a lot of harshness in the many little sounds and instruments that are brought together to make something truly beautiful. Every instrument’s sound shines in the composition and you can hear that with how the melodies come together. He really puts on a masterclass of composing, one of the greatest modern composers in my opinion!

    The cool thing about AoT is that the composers come back every season to revamp soundtracks based on the tone and theme of the story. I'm so glad to have bumped into you reacting to this. I recommend you watching the anime - what you will experience is not only one of the best soundtracks of any show, but one of the best stories and protagonist in fiction, PERIOD.
    So glad AoT is on a boom.

      Couldn't disagree more. I don't understand when people says that AoT is only great becoz sawano is behind the music, when in fact it goes hand in hand. Composers can create moving music and great one's like this because they have a story to tell. And on this anime its the plot of AOT. Compare this ost to the other ost that sawano had made and you can tell that this is one of his personal best creation. And why is that? Because of how great the story was created by isayama. Another one with great moving ost from sawano would be the Blue Dragon, which again had a great storyline.

    Mit der Glut des Hasses schwenken wir die Schwerter
    Ist das unser Schicksal oder unser Wille?
    Wir werden kämpfen, bis dieser heiße Wind unsere Flügel nimmt

    AoT is such a unique experience. Not only is it the best series of all time, but it has the music to back it up. It's one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. I used to love Hans Zimmer growing up, but now? Swano is just pure genuis, I love that he incorperates a lot of rock, metal and electronic styles into his pieces. While the music is perfect on its own, I think watching the series with the music makes it 10x as impactful.
