[@angethefrog2497]

Made in the abyss was probably the only anime to ever make me feel like crying just from the soundtracks

[@shakirdelph7719]

im suprised u said only. mha as well can also make you cry from the soundtrack

[@dead_dude5248]

Same

[@notasadist1914]

Amateur's, Enter "Clannad After story", just listening to the music you'd cry more than the other anime's

[@niranjankris]

@@notasadist1914 Kinda agree with you! Clannad both seasons are classics and Clannad AS is sad as shit, but when considering OST MIA actually tops most anime including clannad AS. Just listening to Pathway will make me cry a river and dampen my mood even if I was happy just a few mins back.

[@DeltaDrifter2201]

MHA and made in abyss and maybe one or two others.

Please listen to "The rumble of scientific triumph" from made in abyss, it's my favorite song from the show

[@SitaDriany]

Made in abyss is a metaphor for man descending into the darkness. He stops being human, not human again, and has a great similarity with Dante's hells, that is why when you speak of humanity, you speak of a great, terrible and crude history.

[@hangry3102]

That and evolving into something the human concept cannot grasp

[@megugu2155]

And despite how degenerate and dark the Abyss (more precisely, the story) shows itself to be, us, the viewers will keep watching/reading. Even though the author put disturbing innuendos, questionable morality, and gore on children in this story: we still keep watching/reading. Because of morbid curiosity. The only way we can see the truth of the abyss is if we ignore everything and just keep on falling down like Riko and Reg into this beautiful depiction of hell. This manga is humanity's true form and that makes me question a lot, and its either we stop watching/reading to acknowledge the disturbing nature of this story and be disgusted by it or we just keep descending into this twisted beauty because we want to see what comes next. And this is why I love MiA but I cant recommend it to everyone. Its beautiful hell and morality becomes so twisted that you gotta hold on tight to your past morals to remember them and just keep descending. Remember that Ignorance is Bliss so just keep on falling. There's fun in that descent that I cant explain properly.

[@Diaryofaninja]

@@megugu2155 Ah it’s the same fuck from the Odd Taxi video. Hey shitass, there’s no justification for borderline child pgraphy. It’s not “‘morbid curiosity” if you have “‘morbid curiosity” about that it makes you a p***. The story stays the same without the disgusting SEXUAL innuendos. Not disturbing.

[@Emerald_Solace]

@@Diaryofaninja youve never watched something burn? Or an insect slowly die? Or watch a tragic event as it unfold but kept watching? You ever look in the comments of a messed up video or tweet just to see how people felt?

[@Diaryofaninja]

@@Emerald_Solace How is this relevant to child nudity you dumbfuck?

[@olivier5251]

The organ part is very evocative of being pulled deeper and deeper into the sea or rather, the abyss. Slowly drowning.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Good catch 👍🏻

[@conky1299]

All of this composer's work (Kevin Penkin) is fantastic and unique. He did another amazing sound track for Tower of God that has a completely different feel compared to Made in Abyss and is amazing.

[@lornemalvo1661]

not that different since i felt like watching made in abyss most of the time upon hearing the Ost :)

[@flowercat7531]

also the one from florence, completely incredible and beautiful 💗💗💗💗💗

[@Flufferz626]

Omg now he did Star Wars.

[@SR_20248]

[@haingis]

while I was listening to the music I suddenly remembered Mitty, and I almost started crying.

[@arvinsebastian5677]

He literally describing the whole movie by just listen to the soundtrack

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

Kevin Penkin is an absolute genius. I’ve never been so blown away by the soundtrack of an anime before

[@kiyomaru93]

you right! Hanezeve Caradhina is using an unknown language. but once people listen to this song, they comes up to 1 same point. "this song want to tells us the story of the adventures, friendships and feelings" thats why even if you don't know the anime itself you can still feel the untold story behind its sound

[@Guilherme030303]

Atlas you never heard Hanezeve right? Transcendence and Hanezeve has a modified version of Hanezeve in the end, you should check the original one too, its quite adventuring and fantastic in contrast to this version that is more somber and emotional. No need to analyse, just to see the difference.

[@magatsuverison3835]

I believe he said on Twitter that he recorded the album in a Church in Vienna so the Instrumentation bleeding with human touch that you referred to was spot on.

[@ceca3304]

Please listen to the other ost of Made in Abyss like "Rumble of Scientific Triumph" and "Tomorrow" They are just as amazing! My two favorites.

U know when a song is good when The breakdown is “basically the general plot/description of the movie”? When the music is part of the narrative and foreshadowing many things for the movie is when it’s a good song.

Lyrics? More like the most beautiful gibberish you've ever heard EDIT: You said it yourself, haha

[@cindersmoke1909]

It is incredible how much you decyphered just listening to it once. I only read the manga and couldn't resist listening to ost on youtube, it is beyond my understanding how well Kevin Penkin translated the story into the music, and how you got all that information from it as well. Absolutely incredible. Stay well, keep up the good work, all the best wishes

[@ImpassiveCanine]

In the words of a certain father and scientist: *"Subarashii"* Edit: I keep making edits about comments on your analysis, but all I can say is that it you've captured this song near perfectly. Ranging from the story telling to the idea that it's a continuation of something (Follow-up of the season 1 ost "Hanezeve Caradhina.) It's as if you've watched the anime itself. Fine work.

[@Redvision44]

Yep you were right about this being recorded live, Keven Penkin recorded the made in abyss ost at the Synchron Stage Vienna with a small ensemble live.

[@philipdowdell3429]

One thing I would recommend if you haven't yet is listen to the original Hanazeve Caradhina, which is where the final melody bit comes from, it's really important in the series. This is probably one of if not my favorite anime OSTs just of all time.

[@philipdowdell3429]

no need to post anything but it's just really good lol

[@RTuga02]

Hell Yeah! I love this song. EDIT: In the past I made a comment about how this song goes through the many themes and feelings of Made in Abyss. You can hear and feel it all in this song, from despair to hope. And believe me, that show is super emotional, coupled with songs like this...yeah, it's a tearjerker...

This is my favorite track from Made in Abyss. The way the synths sound like they are bursting out of the tension that the organ generates gives me chills every time.

[@dis_inferno9173]

[@simonestellin242]

I personally think it's incredible how a really good song listened by someone competent in music can give such a good description of what is happening on the screen even while you don't have a single image. You're just amazing keep up the made in abyss osts they are all great (And you're kinda right about everything but this ost is from the film). I hope my english can at least carry the main message: great song and great listener👍🏻

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thank you Simone 😄

[@edgarallenpo8330]

This song as beautiful as it ia you can feel/hear the dread and the horror that hid behind the gentle beginning and then it hits you at the part with the loud blaring piano and then the slow end that gave a remnant that there was once someone still there, only now living this empty existence. Exactly how Bondrewd was portrayed.

[@mikleman996]

3:55 i always love seeing the reation to that part, Transcendence is just such a powerful piece, all sorts of emotions, the vocals and harmanies are just incredible

[@wolle8182]

Kevin Penkin also wrote osts for "tower of god". Irregular god is an absolute masterpiece

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

The best part about this version of Hanezeve is that its a direct reference to the happier one at in the dawn scene. Its a sad dawn, about the Sovereign of Dawn and is right around the time prushka gets prushkad.

aahhh i suggested this one time ago! thanks Fox for this purchase! next one will be The Rumbling Of Scientific Triumph, right? XD

[@maxgraf9551]

Still waiting for "Tozo Hanoline", that would be awesome.

[@calebe9060]

It's like all my favorite nerd osts this guy reacted to

[@jasonbrennan9918]

The song is from the soundtrack album for 'Dawn of the Deep Soul' which constitutes a sequel film to Made in Abyss season 1 and, effectively, its 2nd season. The lyrics to the thematically similar 'Hanezeve Caradhina' in season 1 were gibberish and I believe that was almost certainly the case for this song as well. Mr. Penkin was able to assemble a small group of musicians to record the songs for S1 so I can't imagine the studio cheaping out on a theatrical film. Once again your analysis of the piece is, in broad terms, very accurate. In spoiler-free terms, the song starts playing at the conclusion of a false climax and then transitions into a warm sleepy scene whose significance isn't yet clear, and finally into an artsy dream sequence/flashback.

[@shyy2103]

This channel is insanely underrated. I have been following atlas for months now. Whatever he does in this channel, the way he does it, the accuracy of his breakdowns are so on point and insightful and entertaining to watch. Wish good things for youu my man and pls do Gehrman :)

[@lauranimbus8092]

I love watching and learning from your videos. It's like showing a friend, or having a friend show you a soundtrack, and then talking about the moving parts of that music piece, the feelings, the instruments, the meaning. :) I don't really have many people who enjoy soundtracks and how they intertwine with characters and ideas in the story, so this kinda satisfies my need to hear/see people react to good music. Thank you for reacting to this track. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :) I agree, there is a lot of different feelings shifting throughout the song and history. I love how it approaches and kinda explains Bondrewd's (from the anime) character with that sickly synth and children's choir. Funny story: The organ part of this track played one night when I was commuting from work just as I was merging onto a deserted highway. The darkened world, the sensation of rapidly increasing speed (well, as rapid as a little, old econo car can achieve with my less than leaden foot ;D), the very mechanical vibration of the car and the song...it was just really epic. XD Awesome reaction. You are so good at picking up the meaning behind each section, some of them I didn't even recognize until you explained it.
