CRIMINALLY low views! I love both adaptations and if I'm honest I love original OST more, it felt more personal, while the Brotherhood more like epic scale. Can't wait for the second part!

I feel very similarly! I think both soundtracks are super effective, but like the adaptations themselves, they accomplish something different. I can see preferring one or another, but the emotional resonance Oshima’s score is unrivaled! Thanks for watching! ^~^

Maan I love these Soundtracks!!! For Me the FMA Brotherhood Soundtrack is trully something special. It has something very nostalgic and fits the Plot perfectly. I arranged some of my favorite pieces from this Soundtrack and I must say: This is trully a Masterpiece! Cool Analysis! I loved how you compared this two Masterpieces! It has real theoretical value!

The memories arising from this video bring me closer to tears than anything has in a long time, and reminded me of why I wanted to compose music in the first place. What a perfect summary of why lovers of music should watch both series, regardless of literary-narrative preference. While I personally prefer 2003 as a story, there is no doubt that Requiem for a Brig. Gen. is extremely powerful and your score showcase brings it out wonderfully. Liked & subscribed.
