Cruel Angel’s Thesis is the theme song of Neon Genesis Evangelion, an apocalyptic anime, and a Japanese karaoke classic performed by Yoko Takahashi. The story centers on Shinji, a teenage boy who is recruited by his father into the organization NERV to pilot a giant bio-machine mecha called an Evangelion in combat against monstrous beings known as Angels. The song upbeat tunes and lyrics’s acts like a pep-talk to the protagonist, where he is being told that not only can he do this, he has to accept his fate for the good for all humanity.

You know it makes sense, but i never thought of a guitar orchestra

[@brennur3731]

3 dogs and a guy trust me man you don’t want to

[@brandondavidson4085]

Seriously...

[@neon_lavander]

It is not an orchestra as an orchestra would have multipul instruments, this is infact a guitar ensemble

Everyone, keeping calm and focused on the music. Guy on inner left, *absolutely bopping*

[@masonsclips_official]

I would be too, if i learned how to play this master piece on guitar.

[@miptachudin9700]

Which left ?? Cuz there's 2 guy who's literally bopping , both on left and right side of camera pov

[@fabianandersson8884]

I love how into it the guy furthest down to the left seems.

and the rightmost guy

[@basstr795]

I love that they included the long interlude between when the song stops and continues, many symphonies fail to do that

[@basstr795]

Oh, and by that, I mean when the percussion on the guitars come in like it’s a solo, it is always forgotten.

[@vincenthuang5635]

That's the directors cut version I'm pretty sure the version used in the show just stops before that

[@hansonwise9735]

I can notice every tune he made thanks for his playing style.

[@ZETH_27]

This sounds like that last part of an anime where the adventure is over but the characters are pep talking each other whilst beginning their new separate adventures as the camera raises to the sky and you see: 終わり

[@Christopher._M]

Hahaha i couldn't agree more.

Some of the music that accompanies the opening sequences for shows is truly incredible and each and everyone of those themes is unique in their own right. Japanese composers are some of the best in the world imho

[@Its_shiki_time4876]

Nope its the Austrians who have the best composers
