God eater anime soundtrack
I believe that an equilibrium between distinct style and diverse range is a hallmark of greatness, and Shiina’s introductory track illustrates this perfectly. The same goes for the other ‘vocal tracks’ of the game, but more on them in a bit. Actually, I’m a fan of J-pop game intros in general, so this energetic start worked just fine for me. Not Shiina’s composition, but I’ve been a fan of aLan since her contribution to the Red Cliff films. But I knew by then this soft-spoken newcomer would sooner or later receive the chance to really flex his composing muscles.įirstly, the theme song: “Over the Clouds” by aLan. My first exposure to Masaru ‘Go’ Shiina was in 2007, when I heard several themes from his excellent Tales of Legendia performed live, and my first impression upon meeting him afterwards was ‘that’s some funky hair’. We analyze just how far one man can push the sonic boundaries after the jump. No single person has scored a Soul game or a Tekken, and even some of the greatest Final Fantasy soundtracks have had their share of composition delegation. Because what you really want to read is whether or not Shiina, who hasn’t carried a full-scale soundtrack on his own since Tales of Legendia, is up to the task.

So when Namco Bandai took a stab at the wildly popular Monster Hunter model, announced Sakamoto Maaya as one of the voice actors and gave the role of scoring to Go Shiina, it was almost a given that God Eater would devour the PSP market whole.

Both Tekken and the Soul Series developed a depth not matched by their rivals – in narrative, character development and, of course, music. But to be even more fair, ‘is really good at copying’ might as well be ‘improves upon’. Whether it’s Tekken chasing Virtua Fighter’s tail and then giving it a good chomping or Soul Edge teaching SNK’s Samurai Spirits what weapon-based fighting looks like in three dimensions, it’s fair to say that quite a few of Namco Bandai’s hits borrow liberally from other sources. Namco Bandai is really good at copying ideas*.
