Music of Gundam

I did not watch too many of the numerous anime of Gundam franchise. They seem to make another Gundam every single year.

However opening sequence and music of Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED are great. Not only they are good to listen on your own, but they also showcase what this anime is about.


And the Gundam Wing as well



Naruto OST

Original Naruto Anime has a surprising array of differerent songs that accompany it.

It has all sorts of songs from action packed to eerie and dark to light and plain.

First the Opening, I think it sets the stage perfectly and showcase everything this anime has to offer.

Orochimaru theme, this one is clearly inspired by the Toccata and Fugue, but it is much darker and more wicked that the Bach's one. It has creeping awesomeness to it.


As for calmer awesome epicenes there is Girei (Akatsuki Theme). You can clearly feel that Pain and Akatsuki are serious business.

Naruto has very good sad songs as well. For example, aptly named Grief and Sorrow


Or the original ending song, Wind. This song has very thought-provoking lyrics. 


There are also metal heavy songs such as, Heavy Violence


Finally, there is a song called Dance, that offer very unique mysterious sound.


Finally, Ultimate Secrets, that combine heavy guitar riffs with eeriness of the Dance.





I will also link a full soundtrack below:




Music of Fate/Zero

Fate/Zero has really good OST, it fits the story really well. 

This OST is full of heroic hymns, similar to Sabaton but without metal. However, it has other types of songs as well.

The Battle is for the Strong. Let the Stars Fall Down, Dogfight, Babylonia, Dream Fades Before Dawn, The Beginning of the End, Tragedy and Fate, World is Tumbling Down 


Let the Stars Fall Down - this song has both epicenes and sophistication. The melody and singing close to opera but it also has a modern powerful feel to it. This song perfectly sets the mood for this show.


The Battle is to the Strong - This is a much heavier song. it mixes heavy guitar riffs with choral singing. It has both heaviness as well as sophistication to it. Perfect for the epic battles.


Babylonia - This song fully reflects on pride arrogance and splendor of Gilgamesh. This is pure epicenes and indulgence of self-importance.


On the Battlefield - this one is another epic battle song. This one has more urgency than some others on this list. Truly a glorious piece.


Dogfight No2 - This is a much heavier piece than other battle songs. This one is clearly about heat of the battle. It has guitar riffs but also violins of this show's signature sophistication.


On an Island - This is vastly different song from the previous. However, it has a unique mystery to it. It is an island one would want to explore.


Finally, a link to the whole soundtrack below


More on how Me and Gilgamesh(Fate/Zero version) are similar.

Both I and Gilgamesh are wise, just, eloquent and refined Kings.

Gilgamesh is capable of both cruelty and mercy. He killed his master Tohsaka Tokiyomi for using command spell to stop his fight with Berserker and for planning to use another one to make Gilgamesh to commit suicide for the sake of his 'search for root' cause. However he also spared life of Velvet Waiver as he found his loyalty to Iskandar commendable. He would have no reasons to kill weebs.

He is also capable of cunning and shrewdness as well as psychoanalysis. He psychoanalyzed Kotomine Kirei and found what kind of pleasure from life he desired.

Then he convinced Kirei to kill Tokiyomi and take over as his master. 

Gilgamesh is well respected as King by various people in F/Z, including Iskandar who as the same time refused the same dignity to Saber.

Surely Gilgamesh is not your stereotypical good guy, however world is not run on your good vs bad (black and white) morality. All that 'good' you speak of s nothing more than naïve misunderstanding of how world really is. The world is cruel and Gilgamesh simply adapted to function in this reality.


I myself seen a fair share of cruelty, unfairness and sadness in the world and that shaped me towards a man who prioritizes my own happiness and protection above some moralistic nonsense, people like my parents and other Christians like to preach. 

I do not want a life of a saint, who suffers for the causes of my parents or Christian Church or progressive SJW.

My justice is of different kind.

私に帰ろう

This a very sweet and cute song. You can feel the warmth of the singer's heart. She seems like a very nice person. I think she understands what it is to love someone and expresses it in this song.

Chris de Burgh

I think some of Chirs de Burgh really reflect well on personality. Just as the man himself a fellow Libra with 15 of October DoB

He has sophistication, culture, civility and fanciness. The kind that I like. I think I am similar to him in many ways.

And some songs.

When melancholy strikes (for those who do not know what melancholy is, that is), though I prefer to drawn my sorrows in music and anime rather than vodka:


When in love, though I prefer to call them slave girls and for them to wear all black rather than red. Reference my demon girl pictures.


Now this is the most important one, the Revolution.

I, him and Lelouch do not fight for social justice and other woke shit, we fight to take back what was stolen from us. I reckon that was a lot.


Finally, this, there is a little bit of everything in this song.

Lelouch and CC summary

I guess what I like about Lelouch and CC is that kind of unique understanding that possible only among some people who lived through the same kind of unique and unusual life full of complex intrigues.

I felt like TrueHellDei could understand me. May be that was because her own life was complex in her own unique way and that allowed her to understand me.

Or maybe it is something simpler, like both and I and she wanted protection form that cruel world around us and we managed to find understanding on that ground.

However, I do want someone to protect me from all this shit this world has to offer. World is full of bad things. Someone out there has to prevent it from hurting me. I can only get along with a girl who can understand and relate to that.
