Opera Singer Reacts: "Zoltraak" from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

[@Marcoweebball]

thanks for the love. Read your comments. Lots to explore. really wanting to watch this on patreon....only one season so far right?

[@tyc9219]

That would be correct, only a single season so far, but recently got confirmed for a second season

[@kevindusablon2835]

you totally should its amazing its been ahead of full metal alchemist in terms of ratings for over 9 months now which as far i know it is the only anime to ever do so its a really chill action adventure (heavy on the adventure) anime and the art music and story are all really well made

[@sleepingbee8997]

It’s def worth a watch, Patreon or not.

[@dynamicworlds1]

For reference, MyAnimeList and Anime-Planet _both_ currently have it rated as the #1 anime of all time, unseating the long-standing favorite Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Even if we assume it's currently massively overrated, it's still easily in the top 10 of the decade as the most conservative rating I can give it. I don't have the money for Patreon, so I gain nothing by saying this, but it is absolutely worth your time. And yes, currently just 1 28-episode season, though it has the feel of 2 seasons due to how the narrative is structured.

[@userunknownxx1]

@Marcoweebball Definitely, it's a journey that one can easily connect to. You could say it's slower compared to other anime, but that's its charm.

[@futanahriadventures]

Frieren is 50% interested in chill vibes, 25% great battle set pieces and 25% emotional gut punches music. I binged the whole season in 2 days, and the whole ost stuck with me pretty hard. Your reaction on those emotions are pretty spot on, as usual.

[@verex8579]

Evan Call has done music work of many great animes, Violet Evergarden is another master piece I would recommend. Warning, it will make you weep.

@@Marcoweebball You mentioned really loving FMA Brotherhood, right? There's this huge anime webiste MyAnimeList that has a user generated ranking of "all" anime. Since FMA came out it was #1. A few shows could take the spot for a day or two. Frieren actually dethroned Fullmetal. The story isn't over yet, so it's too early for me to comapre them, but if they keep the current quality level, than Frieren deserves the number 1 slot.

[@Jackex]

Frieren is an emotional rollercoaster from the get go. You love characters that are on screen for 10 minutes, as the story goes on you only end up seeing who those people really are and discovering this through the thoughts and memories of the main character and in turn learning what kind of person the main character is and who she becomes. Its relaxing, exciting, happy and sad at the same time. Someone who takes time to enjoy it, and takes time to notice the small things really get so much out it.

Frieren is my favorite piece of media of all time, in no small part to the pure artistry that Evan Call brings to the table. What is really fantastic is the first 4 episodes are fully scored individually which is extremely rare in anime.

[@Lillmackish]

What's meant by "scored individually"? Just curious :)

[@Ryuu44]

@@Lillmackish If I remember correctly they had the episodes ready, and made the music based on the actual show. Usually OSTs are created detached from the actual show, a long time before anything is actually animated.

[@WallessJ]

@@Lillmackish It means that instead of composing a bunch of music and then chopping it up and putting it together to match the show, Evan Call composed one entire single piece to fit with the entire episode.

[@mikeglaus5440]

Frieren is the absolute pinnacle when it comes to anime. Everything just fits here-characters, MUSIC, animations, pacing, and even though there's less action than in similar works, when it happens, it’s meaningful and impactful! You absolutely have to add this to your list!

[@silis_pap8473]

Frieren is definitely up your alley! The OST feels like a character of its own, accompanying the audience through Frieren's emotional journey(plus it's got some banger animation)

[@Biohacker777]

IEEIEEEIEEEEIEEE🗣🔥🔥🔥 The lyric speaks to me

[@meursaulty6672]

This instantly became my #1 or #2 anime of all time. Still #1 on the MAL leaderboards too, by a lot.

[@megamage911]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES SO HAPPY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE! One of the best pieces of action music for any anime, it just gets you so PUMPED!

[@darkflame8]

Frieren is something truly special as an anime. It's the first fantasy anime in many years that doesn't rely on tropes and instead immerses the viewer in the world, you watch the characters grow over several years as they become more experienced with the world around them, and each musical piece adds and enhances every scene. 'Zoltrakk', 'Fear Brought me this Far', 'Magic Within' and 'Freiren the Slayer' are easily the most powerful.

[@ShnNar1000x]

Really good analysis. I'd really recommend that you watch the scene where this music is used most memorably. The scene is about Frieren's apprentice, Fern, finding her own strength and successfully dueling a powerful demon on her own for the first time (she's fought monsters before, but Frieren has always been around, even if she did not help). Everything you've said fits well with the story and Fern's journey. The first time the theme is used is briefly in ep 3 and it is also focused on Fern, again defending Frieren and her/dueling against a demon. But it is ep 9 where it is used most memorably and completely.

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

The qualities you describe in this music are PERFECTLY suited to the song's use in the anime. You won't hear this song immediately when you watch, but starting in the first episode and never once taking a break, the music is perfect for its intended purpose. You WILL be experiencing emotions when you watch.

[@ReyReyzzz]

That one scene of Fern cat-walking while fighting Lugner with this song playing in the background elevates this track from a 10/10 to a 1000/10. It’s such a fitting OST for a fight between mages.

[@BuBBLe1q]

Yoo, thanks for reaction on this masterpiece!

[@pratikdash2182]

I really like your analysis of this OST, your thoughts are pretty much spot on, I would HEAVILY recommend some OSTs from Made in Abyss, they are too good

[@Ozai75]

Marco, Frieren is literally the #1 anime of all time on MAL. Even beating out Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Which had been #1 for well over a decade) And it's not even close in terms of score. So yeah you should watch it, 100%

[@YuxinRecords]

Another of the songs that I like the most from all of Frieren is the one called "Beyond the Journey's end", it is simply beautiful.

[@zeru5195]

Omg, i love the ost for Frieren.

[@razlunar2642]

Oh my god, I'm so excited and happy that you actually reacted to this, Frieren was such an amazing show for me and many others.

Wow can't believe I got here early! Didn't watch the video yet but cool to see you giving Frieren a consideration!

[@Marcoweebball]

:)

[@kozermax]

Yeah you're totally spot on about what this is about actually! Without revealing too much this tune plays during a moment of great determination for one character, and it's a culmination of years of study of magic all coming to a singular moment where that knowledge is tested for the first time by a formidable opponent in a life-threatening situation. It's also important to note that this moment - while having a certain degree of danger to it - is a moment of triumph for an unexperienced but talented person, where they see for the first time how powerful they truly are. All the while their mentor character has a "told you so" moment where they knew all along this person is destined for greatness.

[@mrnomosquito]

[@TryHardGamerYT]

Woah! Did not expect you to react to frieren! Very happy about that

[@YTArcana]

Frieren was the most excited I'd been tuning in weekly for something in years. It's a very special kind of high fantasy, stripping down the glitz and glamour of magic and monsters to call back to a very Tolkien-esque sentiment about the importance of building bonds with one another, of companionship and friendship, and how small acts of kindness often are the biggest acts of heroism. It certainly has its flashy moments too, which are extravagant as it's an exceedingly high quality production as a whole. But it's the emotional core of this story, and the sincerity in which it approaches and portrays human relationships, especially in a time where cynicism and sarcasm are all the rage in media, that makes this a stand out show that you'd probably enjoy. And it helps that the soundtrack is full of absolute bangers like this one. If nothing else, I hope you remember composer Evan Call's name because of this.

[@DT-bo1zk]

4:40, you nail it very close to the context, "zoltraak" in the anime is name of the strongest magic created by a demon mage that terrorized every human mages and the context where it plays is the confrontation of MC against that same demon, further explanation to how you nail it would be spoiler in case you plan to watch the show

Cannot possibly recommend this enough On your commentary on this particular piece, absolutely spot on as always.

[@Raidanzoup]

Oh, this is new. I didn't realize the other videos being sent my way by the algo was a new channel. This piece being a driving force is pretty spot on, the beginning always makes me feel a sense of urgency. Btw, the first four episodes of this anime were first aired together as a continuous movie (on a pretty premium evening movie slot on tv), and Evan Call has shared that he wrote the score according to what was on screen at the time (film scoring?), and I assume he must've done so for some of the music outside of those first ~2 hours of the series, too. How the production staff repurposed certain tracks or portions of the tracks throughout the show is actually also a pretty cool thing to take note of while watching.

[@SakugaObscurious]

Finally you reacted to it! This is, in my opinion, Evan Call's greatest work. Also, please react to soundtracks composed by Taku Iwasaki, especially from Soul Eater, Noragami and Gurren Laggann. He's probably one of the most unique composer in anime out there alongside Kensuke Ushio (Chainsaw Man, Dandadan etc).

He's one of the top composers for me! 😊
