#Neon Genesis Evangelion: Battle Orchestra

What would the relationship between Kaworu and Asuka would be like?

Kaworu and Asuka have shared some pretty low chemistry, with them sharing mutual contempt in Battle Orchestra. 

SIRP features the hatred as well in its fourth volume.

Even in the Drama CD:

Even though these aren’t canon with the series, they’re really interesting to bring up. The latter two features Asuka prodding Kaworu over his sexuality and countering with grace. He’s not flustered, which gets Asuka fired up. 

My theory is that Asuka’s initiated prods come from a fear of being replaced. Kaworu has hardly shown weakness to other characters, which adds an imposing air to an already enigmatic person. He always seems so sure of himself, likely making himself an enemy to someone embittered by neglect.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Battle Orchestra 💠 (Gainax / Broccoli - PS2 - 2007)

[nightcorecarseatheadrest]

Kensuke’s battle orchestra story mode makes me unreasonably emotional

[tbfpaesthetic]

~follow for more Versus Mode~

[lilliganmusic]

If you had to ask me what my favourite anime OST’s would be then here they are! Top 10 obviously because who doesn’t love lists?

I have amazing taste in anime OST’s btw, so I will be eagerly awaiting comments from those who haven’t already been blessed by these anime, telling me how good these tracks are.

Honorable Track Mentions from anime that didn’t make the cut:

Ao Haru Ride

“Ao Haru Ride”

“I Will - Instrumental”

“忘れられない時間”

Cowboy Bebop

“Cats on Mars”

“Piano Black”

“Rush”

Demon Slayer

“A Butterfly’s Dream & Anger”

“Kamado Tanjiro no Uta”

“Rengoku’s Last Smile”

Neon Genesis Evangelion

“Asuka Strikes”

“Decisive Battle”

“Misato”

“Rei II”

One Punch Man

“BATTLE!!”

“Mysterious”

“Seigi Shikkou”

And now on with the list!

10. Wonder Egg Priority

YEAHHHH, GOOD OST!!! I think the music is really cool and funky in this show! Probably the most unique OST I’ve ever heard. I love how the music can be so light and whimsical one moment, then “oh shit, we are fighting the metaphorical manifestation of your trauma and could very well die”. It’s like the kind of music you would have for an alarm or a ringtone. I think “Wonder Egg” and “花開く時” might very well be my favourite tracks, but I have a special place for “いぎ戦わん、乙女たちよ” as well. It’s upbeat and creepy! There isn’t a bad song in the OST, the only downside with the tracks would be how short they are!!

“WEP fans shocked that someone is finally talking about the anime.”

9. Ouran High School Host Club

Honestly what a good anime, we all know how iconic the OP and ED are but what about the OST? I have a bias for orchestral themes and OHSHC delivers that in spades. They have so many funny tracks that perfectly evoke the crack energy of the lads and Haruhi, as well as some nostalgic ballads that sweep you right off your feet. “Polka Capriccioso” is their anthem, the minute I heard this again I started laughing. Then you have emotional tracks like “Nocturne for Orchestra” and “Pavan for Piano and Orchestra”. There’s not a single bad track, (which goes for most of the OST’s on here) and honestly I’ll be incorporating some of these tracks into my playlist.

“OHSHC fans rolling up to every social function to be as LGBTQIA+ as possible.”

8. Beastars

I love this jazzy anime!!! Like yasss!!! So melodramatic and angsty!!! This show just has a really good soundtrack, it was really hard not to list everything lol. “Beastars - Classical”, “Beastars - Another Side” and “Hope of this World” have my heart forevermore, while “Impending Darkness” and “Louis’ Feelings” are fucking BOPS! We don’t talk about “Bite Me!”…

“There’s no shoujo filter, you’re just a furry.”

7. Dr. Stone

I DUNNO HOW I MISSED THIS SOUNDTRACK OR JUST FAILED TO APPRECIATE IT, BUT MAYBE I WAS TOO ENTHRALLED WITH ALL THE SCIENCE HAPPENING TO PAY ATTENTION? WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS?? HOLY SHIT THIS SOUNDTRACK IS SO EPIC???? JUST GO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING I GUESS, NOT A SINGLE BAD TRACK. I WOULD RANK IT HIGHER BUT I JUST STARTED LISTENING TO IT WISNSOALSPDK. THIS COULD EASILY BE IN MY TOP 3.

“Me ascending to a higher plane while listening to the Dr. Stone OST.”

6. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I can already hear the FMAB hardcore fans screaming about “FMAB IS PEAK FICTION!!! BEST ANIME EVER!!! THAT INCLUDES ITS SOUNDTRACK!!! IT SHOULD BE IN FIRST PLACE [gamer slur] [death threat]”. Shut up. I love FMAB, and my god when I hear “The Fullmetal Alchemist” and “Trisha’s Lullaby” am I frozen to the spot. I knew FMAB would go down as one of my favourite animes when it made me cry on the second episode. I watched this anime in 2020 and I still get nostalgia hearing the music. My two other faves are “Concerto ~ Brotherhood” and “Overture ~ Brotherhood”. Fitting since these two are my favourite brothers in fiction.

“Anime fans happy to see that FMAB didn’t take 1st place for something anime related.”

5. Toilet Bound Hanako-kun

OOOOOOOOH BOY!!! I first thought TBHK was just gonna be some pastel middle school reverse harem anime, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong! I love this anime and it’s music so much, I was listening to my fave tracks for a solid month straight. Also during 2021 I would just listen to a piano version of Tiny Lights during my online maths classes and sob my heart out. Maths is very stressful. This anime has RANGE!!! It has a lot of good comedic tracks, spooooky tracks and ROMANTIC ones. “Tomo Tomo” and “Firindotto” are such endearing tracks to hear, while “Fantasuteriasu” is downright ICONIC, but my absolutely favourite would obviously have to be “Sutarakushon”.

“TBHK fans when they get a Nene x Hanako moment right after being emotionally destroyed.”

4. My Hero Academia

I didn’t want to put My Hero Academia on the list. I’m not even up to date with the anime/manga — I’m still on S3. I have a love hate relationship with this show but goddamn does this OST make me so emotional. It makes me feel like I can do anything, and I can’t ignore that raw emotion. My Hero Academia was one of my first anime, I have to show it some love. My favourite tracks from S1 would be: “You Can Be A Hero”, “HERO A” and “My Hero Academia”. For S2: “You Say Run” (obviously), “Eiyuuteki Butou Sentoukyoku” and “Bakusatsuou”. Finally for S3 (which I never finished 💀) my absolute fave has to be “Bakugo’s Rescue Soundtrack”. THOSE DRUMS!!!! I SCREAM EVERY TIME!!!

“MHA fans when “You Say Run” starts playing.”

3. Hunter X Hunter

Oh yeah!! I started watching HXH because I found out the Among Us betrayed music was from the show, no that’s not a joke. I have also listened to Hyori Ittai an unhealthy amount of times. Probably my all time favourite song to ever exist, but we’re talking about OSTs! Truly the tracks for this anime are beyond iconic, you hear that music and you know it’s time for nostalgia. The thing with HXH is that it has so many OSTs and no, it’s not cheating to talk about all of them. My favourite tracks from the first would be: “The Silver-Haired Boy” and “The Silver-Haired Lullaby”. For the second OST my faves would be: “Zoldyck Family Theme”, “Go on Gon!”, and “Departure for Strings”. From the Phantom Rouge OST: “The Red-Eyed Monster” and “Emperor’s Time”. Finally the last OST, and holy shit is that an OST to contend with: “Kingdom of Predators”, “Hyori Ittai Lamento for Piano” and “Elegy of the Dynast”.

“HXH fans after hearing that HXH is never going to have an ending for the 1246396481623748292638 time.”

2. The Promised Neverland

There are no words for how much I love this soundtrack. It was originally going to be first, but I remembered one other anime with an OST that I’ve listened to religiously. If I liked a background song in an anime I’d try and find it, but TPN was the anime that got me to actually go find and listen to the OST. Even for the No. 1 anime OST. This OST is so haunting and ethereal, adding to the bittersweet tragedy of the show. Those motherfuckers bottled raw emotion in their music. My favourites would be “The Promised Neverland Track 1”, “Isabella’s Lullaby”, “Emma’s Sorrow” and “Emma’s Determination”.

(Edit: I forgot about how good Ray’s Retaliation is and how fun Dancing Krone is.)

“Ah fuck, ran out of ways to slaughter anime fans— ah well, Cloverworks already covered that with TPN S2.”

1. Violet Evergarden

I’ve listened to and enjoyed almost every single track in this OST. Each one is meticulously crafted in a way that adds to the world of Violet Evergarden. Everything about this anime is beautiful and the music, a thing of perfection in itself elevates the anime to where it is. There is not a single bad or boring track. Watch the anime and listen to the OST.

“‘Bwuwuhhwhhuwbbwbb’ - average Violet Evergarden fan trying to convince you to watch the show”

Unit-02 VS Unit-04 from Battle Orchestra.  

[calebwittebane]

i think N's final battle theme ought to be remade (in the remakes...) with a soundfont that brings to mind the instrumental tracks in neon genesis evangelion ost. the trumpets, the horns, the strings. with that sassy addition of pipe organ and a more intense percussion, cause you know its gotta have some powerful drums

perhaps, a performance by actual orchestra. [rainbow question mark from sonic 06 voice] With The Money, That Gamefreak Has, they could have a real orchestra perform some of the tracks in the ost

[horses-who-smile]

[adamworu]

Most of the Evas that only Kaworu has piloted all call back to his status as an angel.

Eva Unit-04 (Neon Genesis Evangelion 2: Broken Wings scenario)( Pachinko, warning for flashing lights) - Predominantly pale color scheme, this Evangelion carries a shield and a lance. 

Mass Production Evangelion (Various)- Also a pale color scheme, white wings on the outside, black inside.

Evangelion Type  β (Battle Orchestra) - Gold color scheme. When the Evangelion jumps, the fire from its back pauldrons strongly resemble wings. Also carries a sword. Its special attack involves it flying at the enemy, sword in hand, and runs them through. 

Eva Mark 06 (Evangelion 2.22)- Blue and gold scheme. In its debut, it descends down, post-credits of 2.22 with a halo. Kaworu appears with the line “This is it, the promised time has come, Shinji-kun. This time I’ll definitely make you happy.” Mark 06′s descent, further accentuated with a heavenly chorus and Kaworu’s expression all call mind to an avenging angel.

Monthly Manga Review Index: May 2017

Spring house cleaning alert! In an effort to make the Monthly Manga Review Index more useful, I’ve reduced the number of categories from four to three. Those categories track closely with the original format: From the Top lists the first volumes of new and ongoing series; Ongoing Series focuses on later volumes of current titles, and From the Vault lists older series that are complete, unfinished but suspended, or out-of-print. Digital-only titles — once a separate category — are now flagged with an asterisk (*). I’ve also created a permalink for all installments of the Monthly Manga Review Index, making it easier for readers to find titles of interest. Last but not least, I added four websites to the blogroll this month: All-Comic, Anime Ushi, Manga Maniac Cafe, and SKJAM! Reviews.

Here at The Manga Critic, I posted reviews of The Emperor and I, a gag manga about a family who adopts a penguin; Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, a drama about an ex-con who’s trying to reinvent himself as a rakugo artist; and Delicious in Dungeon, a series about a quartet of adventurers who slash, fight, and cook their way through a subterranean world of monsters and man-eating plants.

REVIEW OF THE MONTH

Khursten Santos, manga scholar and hostess of Otaku Champloo, recently posted a hilarious, detailed review of Welcome to the Ballroom. I’d been on the fence about reading this series, but Khursten’s ecstatic descriptions of the dancing sequences convinced me to give it a try. “Seeing these dancers made me appreciate the power of lines and how they express movement,” she explains. “The weight of a line that flicks to a wisp illustrates a movement so rhythmic that it’s almost animated in these panels. A turn transforms into this complex movement that twists the dancer’s body.”

By the way, if you’re following Khursten on Twitter, be sure to extend your congratulations; Khurtsen just submitted her doctoral thesis! The subject: why fujoshi love Shonen Jump. Now that’s a dissertation I’d like to read!
