Tied between this one and Goodbye

[@anthooonyreyes]

This, Goodbye and the latest number

[@branmaurice]

FAR is a beautiful song

[@RenderingUser]

You gotta watch the opening of this anime

[@RockHwrd95]

This one and Run for Word

[@seya_2]

All of the soundtracks in this show is amazing. The show itself became one of my favourites aswell.

[@hruaizelasailo4401]

Frrrrrrrrrr

[@jwlsiee]

creator of cowboy bebop and samurai champloo (two shows known for their music) shinichiro watanabe is the music director for this show!

[@Uhuhartitathg_72]

Согласен, правда я добавил только 1

[@Uhuhartitathg_72]

Точнее 2

[@lisamarieschnee]

Most overlooked show of 2021. Show is a masterpiece.

[@MrShloker]

If it came out in 2020 it would be held in legendary tier

[@otomon5]

2021 had too much competition... Revue Starlight Movie came out same year as this masterpiece, and that was also one of the best anime movies made in decade, but it somehow did not get the attention it needed like this show.

[@ValentinParfeniuc]

@@otomon5 I mean it was still easily the best show that year, heck i'd say of the last decade.

[@Arcanomist]

Whoever told him to react to Sonny Boy needs a raise 😂

[@RuySenpai]

Sonny Boy will slowly creep into Lain, Ergo Proxy, FLCL and other anime in the same league and status, mark my words.

[@mouses_HK]

i hope in the near future sonny boy will become much more well known and people will realize how incredible it was

[@OneEyed8135]

@@mouses_HKit’s really one of those animes! Underlooked till many years later, the end of this really reminded me off erased,the end was quite unsatisfying but there’s a sense of satisfaction from it being that way ❤

[@jimbo7551]

@@OneEyed8135speak for yourself sonny boy and it’s ending scratched the anime itch i had been having for years due to the lack of anime that felt insanely original. They don’t make anime like these anymore and it’s sad. What a fulfilling feeling it was to experience Sonny Boy.

[@haveahope1]

Haibane Renmei maybe

[@helloworld-sl2lw]

​@@haveahope1 hope so

[@smugfrog1041]

Sonny Boy was a great anime and last 3 episodes elevated it to legendary for me, this song plays at episode 12 and along with the scene it puts you in a daze

[@RenderingUser]

I personally think the show peaked at episode 6 But the rest of the story was still really epic

[@allslo4u]

@@RenderingUser well it was treated as a story told in 2 parts anyway, the director said ep 6 was the climax and end of the first half of the story

[@Quinnsula5]

It’s a show I adore but also hate but not really, if not for the last 2 episodes it would not be in my top 30 but those last few episodes spoke to me so much and it’s became a favourite just because of that. Episode 8,6 is very good to a my third favourite, them some of the rest are just ok, and very hard to follow episodes 7, what happened in that one…jk

[@TheWaross]

Yup, agreed. That running sequence is just amazing

[@randompolygon8401]

I would say laughing dog was my favorite episode.... that episode is probably in my top 10 favorite episodes of anything

[@luhaze7454]

never thought someone would react to one of sonny's ost but it's pretty much a dream come true haha

[@bluebean8450]

sameeee

[@kvlvxn6186]

SAME, for fuck sake why this anime is soooo underrated bro, wish more people reacted to it as well, this anime deserve all the love

[@GDemi14]

yeah same, this is amazing

[@carrotvirus349]

SAME BROO!!

[@MaizaYT]

Fr

[@tropicalfish1360]

Sonny Boy is so underrated. One of the best anime I've ever seen.

[@pechenkavlad]

because the author made it with all his love. it's not a passing pop anime.

[@forgivedawn]

So True

[@blub2491]

Isn’t it an anime original?

[@gollyjollyer8124]

Math rock is such a pleasing genre of music to the ears.

[@lewisroach8723]

Yeah I do remember the sountrack being quite good. The anime itself is...hard to describe. Subjective, doesn't tell you the plot, every episode feels like a teacher reading a chapter of a book and then turning and asking 'what do you think this meant?'. Very unique, to say the least.

[@Szystedt]

Yeah! I saw someone describe an anime by making a line. On the leftmost part, there's the plot, and on the rightmost part, there's the meaning. They placed some trash power fantasy isekai on the far end of the left, as they have no real meaning and only exist for fights, I guess? Some normal anime were in the middle, and then Sonny Boy were at the far end of the right. I agree with their assessment! Definitely an interesting and intriguing anime, and the soundtrack truly does stand out despite that I recall it often being silent hah :D

[@izzyjamm4]

Yes! absolutely giving lit class vibes hahaha... there's like JUST enough of an emotional through line with the main characters to keep you invested while it does literally whatever it wants

[@MatthewCJoy]

​@@Szystedt plenty of "power fantasy" anime have meaning

[@jimbo7551]

@@MatthewCJoyBerserk comes to mind

[@aussieboy4279]

This song combined with the scene it’s used in is such a trippy but incredible experience. Such a great anime and piece of music!

[@dkg6553]

This song in context is even more beautiful. Every time I hear it I comeback to this moment of the show. Truly a piece of art whether it fits everyone's particular style or not.

[@ashrichardson4540]

For anyone wondering, this song is now on Toes new 2024 Album Now I See The Light! check it out on spotify!

[@Gyro_404]

Omg this is one of my favorite songs, can't wait to see you react to it!

[@maxfaberg128]

The beginning sound is actually the sound the railroad gates in Japan make when a train is incoming. Well, in this case a very smooth train ride : )

[@aldrichkessho3159]

That's why it felt so similar, omg thanks for pointing it out!

[@branmaurice]

Finally someone reacts to a song of this anime, there's more interesting songs in the OST of Sonny Boy, i hope u can react to another one later. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱, i love ur videos!

[@lychee_ice]

Your Patreon requests are always the best. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, thank you Dante

[@ForsakenLogitek]

Entire soundtrack is amazing, i personally love "Let there be light again"

[@askechadd2473]

The entire ost for this anime is one of my favourites. This song plays at a part of the story where there's a trippy montage of characters travelling through multiple dimensions, it was awesome af. Sonny boy as a whole needs more attention, i feel like it didn't get the praises it deserved when it came out.

[@Bobbias]

Glad to see Toe on here, they're excellent! How about checking out the Japanese noise band Boris, perhaps one of their songs off Message? The only difficulty is there are 2 completely different mixes of the album. Actually, it would be awesome to compare the same song American release mix vs Japanese release mix, since they're so radically different.

[@annedrop]

Boris' Rainbow is so magical it's insane

[@alonelypotato9863]

Honestly gonna give sonny boy a watch just from this video here alone, seen it around tons and always forgot the title but this ost and breakdown is something beautiful man

[@marcoantonio8909]

do u like it?

[@Prometheonlol]

the scene with this song in it was beautifully executed too, love this song and the anime

[@samranda]

the scene with this song in it is one of my favorite scenes in anime. you'll love it

[@alonelypotato9863]

@@samranda I’m glad I gave it a watch cause god damn, such emotion in the later episodes, when they killed off the fmc I was so empty and it felt so fast, then I hear the opening lines of rhapsody whilst they’re running through universes and well it’s definitely in my top 10 now

[@benzfm2866]

@@alonelypotato9863 Sonny Boy is indeed beautiful. Such a compelling show. One of my favorite episodes aside from the last one is definitely episode 8, the one with Yamabiko

[@Yoran_w]

More sonny boy please! Yamabiko’s Theme, Let There Be Light Again, Kyo no Uta, Kodama’s Theme, Shounen Shoujo (The ending song), and many more are all fantastic.

[@reilzy]

literally finished this anime like 3 days ago, i love this song

[@guitarhero640]

One of my favorite songs ever. Glad you're reacting to it

[@oakynn7780]

Can't believe he's doing sonny boy, toe is só great

[@KompoTStunting]

Even tho Sonny Boy might've been too "mature" or confusing for me to understand, and even if i watched it a year ago, i came to realize how meaningful the show was. All of the Sonny Boy OST's gives me a feeling of piece, reminding me of calmness. A year has passed but to this day i come back to listen to Sonny Boy OST's, btw great video!

[@n0denz]

"It's gonna go somewhere, but for these moments that we have that are tranquil, it's beautiful." "The bass has evolved a little bit." "It's just time is - you can either feel it here or you're feeling it here. It's very very solid, but they're just playing a little bit with your emotions." "We just dropped out; we had a power minute - like one or two bars of rest - and then boom; every instrument is back - I'm sorry - has changed much louder than it was before." "Will we resolve? No we won't resolve." I always love when people reacting to music from shows they've never seen unintentionally nail some of that show's themes.

[@appl3thegr3at64]

right? One of the reasons this music fits sonny boy so much

[@BROKENMAN1981]

Toe is one of my all-time favorite bands, I'm happy you've listened to them before. If you haven't listened to their last album you should, as well a song called Rega by David

[@sakuta2632]

Every year has an overlooked masterpiece that's not for everyone and this was for it for its year.

[@rosslerma5037]

Glad someone recommended this because I was getting ready to do it myself. Great song

[@Fadhlanw_]

ALL THINGS ON THIS ANIME WAS AMAZING

[@kaitoaurelius]

Dante coming in clutch, my favorite Toe song and thats saying something. Sonny Boy was a trip

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

Thank you for putting this song back on my radar! I watched the series when it finished airing,back then I already thought this song was pretty cool but some other things must have distracted me at the time and I never went and listened to the song by itself. Now because of your video I can finally appreciate it and I’m actually kind of addicted to it too lol

[@MrJcalvino]

I love this song so much. Reminds me of Fishmans songs a little. Legendary Japanese band.

[@junebug4054]

TO ANY ONE READING THIS THIS SONG HAS BEEN ADDED TO SPOTIFY AS OF JULY 2024 IN THERE NEW ALBUM CALLED "NOW I SEE THE LIGHT" 8TH SONG ON THE TRACK JUST LIKE YOU ITS A AMAZING SONG THAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO BE ON SPOTIFY HAPPY LISTENING

I watched this animation because of this song, and being able to see your video in 2023 is truly wonderful. 😢😢😢

[@UnlimitedUtopia]

Perfect timing !! Just got hooked on this one

[@concordia697]

I recommend making a reaction to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world. Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You Each of these speeches garnered over a thousand reactions. Diana is in the TOP 3 world vocalists in terms of the number of reactions (about 15 thousand reactions).

[@concordia697]

The coolest performance that will shock you and give you the biggest goosebumps! kzbin.info/aero/PLQJJG9TMmSOB4YXRUgdxA-H-Fo_sjB3kZ Protection of the video-image about partial blocking for some countries is preferable.

[@7Taric]

[@AkshayKumar-yn4wc]

such a great song to listen to when stoned

[@adamsaunders7837]

OMG SONNY BOY OST, THE MUSIC IN THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD MAN this one being my favorite

[@Eragonnogare]

I'm a bit late to this video, but I'm so happy to see you covering Sonny Boy's soundtrack, it's a massively slept on song. If you feel up to it, I'd ***strongly*** recommend experiencing Yamabiko's Theme for a video, it's a very long song but that's because listening to it is practically like watching/*experiencing* debatably the best episode of the entire amazing show. Honestly you should probably watch the whole show if you feel up to it, but honestly even if you *just* listen to Yamabiko's Theme with basically no context you'll almost certainly be getting an amazing experience. It's legitimately one of the most impactful OSTs I've experienced, it is a full story to itself almost.

[@plmagrin]

Absolutely loved this reaction! Rhapsody was my favorite track from sonny boy I wish you listened to it while watching the moment from the show when they played this song cause AAAAHH it was an amazing experience

[@uttisiseppe769]

[@demetusbrown1962]

Your patrons have real nice taste

[@yuuupe9631]

Awesome reaction! Thank you

[@Joe.Elston-Gardner]

This song was great, the magic for this song was definitely captured in the scene however when it was played, the starting da da da da, represents the barriers going down for when a train is going, the characters in the scene this plays in are making a sort of great desperate escape which the whole show had been building up to. This scene was fantastic because of not only Toe but the accompanying visuals which make so representative of what they were going through.

[@kinoate]

I have to throw in a suggestion for a full anime song listen for a tune that I think is insanely underrated since it's from a 00s anime no one cares about anymore. The ending theme to Gungrave. When the Sunset Turns Red by Scoobie Do. The 5 ish minute version. It combines strings with a funky rock tune in such a seamless way and the drums feel so viscerally in your face with some sick bass lines. Also some genuine vocal delivery with some nice breakdowns and guitar solo work too. It's just such a fun song

[@bijoychandraroy]

Still one of the most underlying gem of 2021 It gave me more severe emotions than evangelion The emptiness is still there😢

[@ImSofaKingGood]

Aw man, I haven't been keeping up with Toe, but goodness, their songs are always an absolute vibe.
