Beautiful scenery combined with a perfect soundtrack = a cleansing of the soul. The forest scenes in Mushishi paired with Toshio Masuda's score provide exactly this experience.
The combination of Evan Call's soundtrack and this art style is truly perfect. It would be even better if the Art Book came with an OST sampler.
Besides voice actors, I also follow anime because of the composers. As long as Yuki Kajiura is in charge of the music, I will definitely watch it.
From the perspective of the soundtrack, the collaboration between new-generation directors and new-generation composers is well worth noting. A new kind of chemistry.
If the goal is to understand the lyrics of the soundtrack, you can start by translating them. This method is very effective for increasing your vocabulary.
From the perspective of the soundtrack: The environment is very quiet late at night, which allows you to notice the details of the soundtrack even more. I recommend using headphones to experience it.
It would be even more tasteful if there were vinyl records of anime OSTs. RADWIMPS' "Your Name" OST was released on vinyl.
It would be even more atmospheric if the cafe for the gathering played the OST. Do you know which cafes in Wan Chai or Causeway Bay are the most suitable?
My dad is really interested in anime soundtracks! Ever since I played the "Your Name" OST for him, he’s always asking me if I have any new OST recommendations.
Frieren's soundtrack will definitely be even more outstanding in the final chapter. Evan Call's music fits the atmosphere of this work perfectly.
