Can you do a reaction to a theme from team fortress 2 called intruder alert

[@salimseba8195]

Pls listen to stein's gates openings, they are just incredible.

[@Toto-yj8hc]

An incredibly niche pick I am so happy

[@seekittycat]

Dante you LEGEND

[@Kanamo4781]

I think you should react to the whole show, or at least watch it on your side, all of the themes are just hidden gems, everything sound so good, it looks so good, and the story is so good !

[@apatheticdeity6030]

I never realized just how perfect the opening is to the manga. One of the main plot points is that Phos keeps losing parts of her and needing to replace them with substitute materials. This song I feel kinda represented that with every new instrument being added over, becoming a cacophony of sounds that somehow still makes a song, just bordering on the edge of chaos.

[@Ixxlostinabox]

Very rare for a song to fit a story so well that is super cool

[@offinse9916]

Don't forget to notice that it doesn't stop being beautiful

[@raykirystar]

​@@ibereguimaraes5067I agree!!

[@mr.dirtydan3338]

I don't remember the name. I think it is like cinnabar theme or something. But that is an unbelievably beautiful song.

your patreon really have a good taste huh never expect this song will appear in your channel lol, surely an unexpected but really welcome thing

Exactly! Amazing song, amazing series, and also relevant considering the ending of the manga happening now

Same here man, wasn't expecting this. I suggested it a while back in the YT comments section but you know how that goes most of the time. Thank God for the patrons.

Houseki no Kuni was not something I was expecting on this channel. Honestly really glad to see one of my favorite animes/mangas on here.

[@xArt_16]

Been waiting for a good reaction to this for years! When I saw this I had to do a double take

[@shadow002_4]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT !!!! I literally got goosebumps when i saw the thumbnail, I really hope houseki no kuni gets MORE attention it's just such a masterpiece anime/manga

[@MrShagification]

Hopefully Orange will one day get back to adapting it. I really want to see the next part of the story animated.

The composer of this song, "照井順政 (Yoshimasa Terui)", is a guitarist and writer for a post-rock band. He is also a music producer who provides post-rock and odd time signature songs to idol group, "sora tob sakana".

[@ilyysm]

sakanaaa

[@rynocerusrex5050]

Hehehe, rock

[@ImBurb]

No way, that’s crazy!! I watched houseki no kuni recently and the opening gave me very similar vibes to the opening for the anime High Score Girl, which is by sora tob sakana. No wonder I love both those songs. I need to check out more of this composer’s stuff!

[@kaiba9494]

Houseki no Kuni is one of my favourite anime and manga of all time, but it's not very popular. I can't recommend it to people enough. I'm really happy to see your reaction to this OP. That patreon has a great taste. Anyone who likes the animation style of Studio Orange (Beastars, Trigun Stampede) definitely give it a try.

[@Dazzled_EX]

I think the same

[@xuelee7520]

It's criminally underrated. It wasn't even nominated for best Opening in its year.

[@humanman2358]

and the anime is like, in 2017. very underrated stuff

[@reginaguerra3573]

[@vertex3789]

This show is a visual and ambient musical MASTERPIECE. This show deserves continuation from Studio Orange! Very great reaction!

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

The many people who would love to see the anime continued have to hope that the Production Committee have the same idea, that they choose Studio Orange again, and that Studio Orange are available. I particularly mention the latter because if they aren't available then any further anime could go to another studio and we really don't want anyone other than the original production team and director at Studio Orange continuing the anime.

[@nura7897]

One of my favorite anime. I really love Cinnabar OST.

[@inspirashamul]

I don't know about music theory or what not so I really appreciate you giving this insight on one of the best OPs in anime!

Fr the second ending was 😭

[@TheSurgePhoenix]

Dante is a real one! I’d recommend listening to the whole OST in your free time, you won’t regret it

[@world4saker]

this is how music evolves to be heard by anyone and telling the feelings it's writer wanted to express

[@aki_4191]

Spotify recommended me this song last week, really take me back to memory lane. Now TONY REACTED TO IT!!! Probably watched Houseki no Kuni in one of my most miserable times, definitely up there on my list.

[@Eris_Greyrat]

Always happy to see some love for Houseki no Kuni.

[@fallowboy59]

Finally I haven't seen much people react to Land of the Lustrous, I really appreciate you reacting to it

[@welovewii4]

Yeah this track is incredible. Idk much about music theory so idk how to rly describe it but I can tell this song is very complex with all the different rhythms and layers present but it all comes together so beautifully.

[@jaeha4898]

I remember someone said that the notes resemble that of different light length that passes through different facets of a gem, which are irregular shaped. I'm not sure if they quoted the producer of this music. Which is why the notes kinda sound wonky?

[@MartHommes]

Thank you Dante for recommending this on Patreon while me and others in the comments tried to recommend this song with no success. I'm so happy right now. I knew he was gonna like this song and I'm glad he did. It's such a wonderfully complex and colorful masterpiece

[@Bobbias]

Easily one of my all time favorite openings. It's so damn funky. The drums are so good, the violin just fills things out so well. It's such a fitting opening for the anime as well. The rhythmic interplay of everything is so damn satisfying.

[@Tobb421]

This anime is so amazing and they just HAD to top it off with the most heaven sent opening and ending I’ve ever heard. I’m very happy to hear you react to the full version and even more to hear you enjoyed the song

[@hago66]

Mmmh yeah this is so groovy, love it. Anime is good albeit a bit un-traditional with the usage of mainly 3D CGI, but it's done _so_ well and fits well too with the characters and the world. Totally beautiful to watch.

[@KoalaZwastaken]

One of my favorite openings, it's nice to see it getting attention.

[@lessix1626]

You absolutely need to check out the OSTs from this series, for example : Main Theme and Cinnabar are truly fabulous

[@prajapatihardik1149]

This opening just hits different if you're fully caught up to the Manga. Phos's character just takes over your mind.

[@JJStylies]

There is a song that very much reminds me of this for anyone who's interested: A city not on the map - Haisuinonasa Very similar kind of rhythmic dissonance that's very cool

[@yuuchan.l]

same guitarist haha

[@seekittycat]

YES YES YES THANK YOUUU!!!!!! I requested this in a video but thought nobody else was obsessed over this opening as much as I was. I actually covered this with a group and omg nobody can keep on beat 😂😂. Practice was a struggle. Dante you LEGEND thank you

[@rizqiefajar]

God bless Dante. This show is pretty obscure among the average anime fans, so it's great to see Tony reacting to this.

[@ConManAU]

I love how gloriously schizophrenic the song is - every part is doing its own thing, and yet you can hear the method to the madness where all the parts work together.

I feel like ill never find a song as good as this, no matter how untrue that statement is.

If you accept suggestions there's a very short but interesting OST in this anime (Houseki No Kuni) called Kyoui/Wonder, I think it can almost come off as exotic if we compare it to this song.

I knew she was a beaut when I first heard her. I got lost in the instrumental, all the polyrhythms just had me feeling so serene. I want to live in the brain of the person who directed this for one day. If you're curious there's an instrumental/off vocal version of this that someone edited and uploaded that is very good, I couldn't hear the voice at all. Just search for 'instrumental' with it and you'll find it (EDIT: the channel is Entbell 2). I love it with the voice of course but being able to hear it raw was another experience and I picked up on so many goodies I couldn't hear in the back... Man, so great!
