[@kinseylise8595]

I must not have been paying enough attention, I honestly thought the whole anime only used one song just with different instruments and found it really weird. I thought it worked for motifs but just felt it wasn't suitable for every place it was used. That being said, I could've easily just missed tracks. I'm just surprised to hear that your experience was so different from mine.

@@kinseylise8595 Well, at most of the instances this happened. But can we simply judge it by that one thing. This soundtrack was really good.

I'm gonna be that one guy who says that the manga is better. Not hating on the anime, though, they had to made do with the constraints they were given by the publisher. Sucks they had to wrap it up in such a weird way and never got to make a season 2.

Lilium is and will be one of the most impressive openings of all time. Playing this on piano would be Boss Level for me. Right now I can play the few famous keys from “Für Elise” but comes time comes success (I think I messed that one up). While writing this you just played the end part from 3:12 and it hits so hard.
