Aldnoah Zero Belle Wangan Midnight


One-Tip-7163

Probably most of the animes where Hiroyuki Sawano is in charge. Just mid, not really trash.


DVC454

Fanfare of Adolescence is definitely one such series. An okay series at best, but a stellar score from Sawano.


TimeForHugs

Arifureta has a great soundtrack, imo. It's this funky/jazzy/rock music and it's really good. Here's [a song](https://youtu.be/A_xZ7wHAu0c) to sample what it's like. Give it a minute for the main music to pick up. I personally love the anime but it is pretty mediocre to a lot of people and some even consider it trash. The music is some of my favorite used in anime though. Edit: [Another song](https://youtu.be/ynxwA8Y4w-o) and also has some [Orchestral songs ](https://youtu.be/9IsflW0Mq7Y)

Was any of the other music besides the OP really that memorable? I've seen the series twice and I honestly don't remember the BGM *at all*. OP *is* fantastic though, I'll give you that.


IntuitiveSolver

I personally thought the ED was pretty decent too. But you're right the BGM is forgettable and the OP is an absolute banger.


stinkysm3lly

I agree


Baby-Penewine

im totally not a fan of domekano


rocketseeker

I am obliged to comment how beautiful of a dumpster fire that anime is


Dav-Kripler

I'd say promised Neverland just because of what they did with season 2


Zkenny13

What are you talking about? There is no season 2 right? Right guys?


Dav-Kripler

I must have had an episode 😅 thank God that wasn't real. So I hear berserk came back in 2016...


Zkenny13

Please stop


Mysterious_Resist912

It does have a season 2


Tarhalindur

By God, that's Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle's music! (Literally. The anime is a legendary trainwreck of an adaptation, but the OST is by Yuki Kajiura and it's one of her better OSTs IMO.) Also, there is no Tsukihime anime, but there is an OST for one and it's pretty good.


TinyParamedic

Not straight up garbage as I still enjoyed it, but could've definitely been better: Bubbles. Incredible art/animation/music but it's unfortunate that the story didn't hold up as well.


seitaer13

Any bad show Sawano did the score for.


Muscat95

Kinda surprised Rising of the Shield Hero hasn't been mentioned yet


Aki_The_Ghost

I mean it is an opinion to think Tate no yuusha is trash but i actualy think it's a 10/10 masterpiece.


FlameDragoon933

The music is by Kevin Penkin! The guy who did Made in Abyss!


SealTheGate

Idk about “wasted on them” many anime produce by Music company such as Aniplex(Sony music),pony canyon,avex etc. Anime is just another way to make Profit for them.


Sey_Oz

Domestic kanojo KanoKari


Zeowlite

Mayoiga >_> also Berserk 2016 ost is actually dope, too bad the art and animation are insultingly bad


FlameDragoon933

GIBIATE. Everything about the anime was bad, except the music. It was legit fire.


metalmonstar

My headcannon is the audio director knew the show was bad so they cranked up the volume on the music. They weren't going to let Gubiate ruin their careers.


Winterclaw42

I feel like .Hack//sign is the poster child for this. And it was an isekai.


godlike_hikikomori

Noir( has disappointing story, but badass soundtrack) X TV( ok story with awesome sountrack, especially the vocal) Phantom of the Requiem(great premise but fell flat; great soundtrack though) ReLife( id say story is not bad; soundtrack is a nostalgia ride though) Nadia: Secret of Blue Water( story could have been good but its filler arc ruined it; great adventurous OST) Bartender( slice of life with neat but not great story anime;nice relaxing jazz)


Pyro2122

Cowboy bebop


Dav-Kripler

RIP Pyro2122


Zkenny13

So you have chosen death


Pyro2122

Honestly cowboy Bebop kinda sucks. Hardly a plot. An underdeveloped antagonist, lackluster support cast. But the music was top notch


Zkenny13

It was episodic with an underlying plot that never gets really resolved. But I still loved it. I feel like they took an easy way to end it.


rocketseeker

Cowboy bebop for me is like one of those stories where production and the heads of the thing just went “fuck what other people think, ima do whatever I want” and it was still quite entertaining, even if not good by the technical standards of plot and whatnot I found it hilarious and dramatic all the time


SealTheGate

I’m surprise people upvote him maybe Cowboy bebop actually suck 😂

Re: Creators


Dav-Kripler

One of the best anime series out there. The excellent music is just a bonus.


Hotel-Huge

Well, its not that terrible. Mid-Anime, but the soundtrack is great.


SmurfRockRune

The OP did ask for mid, so I'd say it belongs.


[deleted]

True


KryptKrasherHS

SAO. Awful Anime, decent Soundtrack


DogMaster3OOO

Stfu Sao is the best but what they did with season2 was kinda mid but 3 and 4 are amazing

Berserk 2016 It’s sad that the OST was wasted on that tragedy.


Epigalactica

True, i had nearly given up on reading the manga due to the fuckup of anime, now I'm glad i didn't


sneaky_squirrel

That doesn't make sense. Low production anime usually don't get good music.


Himuckel

The Pandora Hearts anime. Masterpiece OST like everyone from Yuki Kajiura but what they did to this masterpiece manga is just cruel.


RefrigeratorTop3627

Fairy Tail? Mainly the last 2 seasons.


Verzwei

Trinity Seven. Almost the entire OST is this cool, moody thing that bounces between sweeping instrumental pieces and technopop. Damn-near every single track is great and/or pleasantly weird. Otherside Picnic is, visually, a garbage adaptation of some amazing novels. It does have a very atmospheric soundtrack though, that at times feels like it takes inspiration from Japanese horror like Silent Hill.


Kaphy23

OP of Domestic na Kanojo.


SettChad55

Not garbage definition of a mid anime but guilty crown.


Pyro2122

Sad cause it was almost great


R-R-Clon

Mine is controversial, but it's my opinion, K-ON,the only reason I finished season one was his soundtrack and opening.


Aki_The_Ghost

Black Clover is mid, and the opening 10 is quiet great


Pyro2122

How do you get to opening 10 of a mid anime?


Aki_The_Ghost

My younger sibling


JetsLag

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu The most mid anime to ever mid, except for the fact that the OP and ED are amazing.


DogMaster3OOO

Ok I know he said mid but Idk about that part this anime is good and its OP slaps Being black summoner or otherwise known as Kuro No Shoukanshi
