In the wake of war, the populace suffer. A leader must unite for serenity to reign. Hsi, tread with caution, and join our sacred duty. To defend the city and its folk with honor and fervency.

Yayyy I'm finally home from work i can play hollow knight

I recently got to see the Nier Orchestra Concert and it was quite literally a magical experience and I was close to tears at the end. I had to draw something to honor both Replicant and Automata. These games and its OST mean so much to me and they are so so special.

Youtube apparently thinks I'm the only person who likes both ClariS (They made songs for Cells at Work and Puella Magi Madoka Magica) and Myth & Roid (They made songs for Re:Zero and Overlord) cause no matter how much I listen to them, the algorithm refuses to make a mix album with both.

My efforts and experience to get the algorithm to form a link between the two goes:

Play lots of ClariS songs. Now Youtube knows to recommend playlists of their songs

Play lots of Myth & Roid. Now Youtube knows to recommend playlists of their songs

Alternate between them between songs. No integration.

Play more ClariS. Nothing.

Play more Myth & Roid. Playlists start adding a band called Mili (Mili and M&R did a song together one time).

Listen to tons of Mili. Youtube recommends mix tracks of Mili and M&R

Listen to ClariS. Youtube doesn't mix ClariS with anything.

Listen to more M&R. Ender Lillies OST gets recommended (Mili made the soundtrack).

Listen to tons of Ender Lilies. That gets integrated to Mili and M&R

Buy Ender Lilies. Beat it in a month. Remember what I was originally doing.

More ClariS. The playlists now have ClariS, Mili, and Ender Lilies. No M&R.

Play Mili. Start getting Made in Abyss Soundtrack (M&R made some songs for it)

Nier Automata OST randomly shows up one day. I can't find any discernable reason for that happening.

Play more ClariS. Playlist finally shows M&R.

Wait no, it's a playlist of ClariS and Made in Abyss. No non-MiA M&R are here.

Discover at some point M&R removed most of their songs (Likely due to the band leader leaving)

At this point Youtube will make playlists of ClariS, MiA, Ender Lilies, Nier, and Mili; or M&R, MiA, Ender Lilies, Nier, and Mili. Still refuses to mix ClariS and M&R.

New ClariS song comes out. Listen to it nonstop.

Youtube decides the new ClariS song should be associated with M&R and not ClariS.

M&R restores all its songs. Have to start all over.

New band Kokia suddenly appears in playlists.

Listen to tons of Kokia.

ClariS is now willing to associate with M&R but only the songs that weren't previously removed.

M&R still refuses to associate with ClariS though.

This has been a minor pet project for nearly a year now. I have made almost no progress but have found tons of music I love so it's not a total waste.

honestly one of the funniest video game events i can remember is a live 32 piece orchestra performing the Overwatch Overture during one of geof keely's 16th birthday partys as a hype builder for the best video game OST then quietly and quickly they announce its Nier Automata.

♫ kainé/salvation - nier ost nier automata au

it’s always been strange to luciel that androids were programmed with personality traits. he knows that siwoo, in particular, was programmed with ‘honesty’. though that somehow came with ‘curiosity’, which could be a good thing since he’s a scanner-type android. he still never quite understood why androids needed such things, but questioning the council of humanity’s decisions never once cross his mind.

he’s just a battler-type android, all he needs to do is to follow instructions and keep an eye on siwoo.

they’ve been assigned as partners for a long time. luciel is good at coordinating with fellow androids, but with siwoo sometimes…. they ran into trouble. one of those troubles had led to their present situation: a freaky head plastered onto a sales vehicle requesting them to find some flowers.

“it sounds suspicious, we should report it it immediately,” luciel told siwoo.

“huh? we should give it a try, hello? it looks fucking weird but it seems… nice?” the other blinked his eyes at him. “this is my duty, let’s just go with it. i need to know more.”

luciel took some time to process a decision, then sighed, “i should also tell headquarters to remove your ‘vulgarity’.”

“what the- fuck you???” siwoo responded, probably on purpose.

nevertheless, they went ahead with it. they had no reason to refuse its requests anyways, perhaps they could discover more information about the machine lifeforms they were fighting to send the data back to headquarters. siwoo made the right decision.

after finding those flowers three times, it brought them to a place underground.

it’s dark, which is natural for an underground place. yet luciel couldn’t help but to remain still for a brief moment to take in the scenery lighted up by a field of glowing white flowers.

the cart lifeform sounded extremely happy and started rambling about its past, how it once had a main body that split into pieces to protect earth. it’s weird, none of this was recorded the library of data. and that is what siwoo said.

“and i thought we knew everything… hey, nii-san, let’s go look around,” siwoo goes head to explore, even though there isn’t actually much other than a bunk bed with a roof right in the middle of the field. according to the cart, a human used to live in it. “that’s weird, this bunk bed feels familiar…” siwoo mumbles, crossing his arms while staring at the bed.

luciel stays silent.

“it’s my first time seeing this flower, but why does it feel so fami-”

“oh! this is a lunar tear!” the cart interrupts abruptly. “these used to grow all over the place, like the desert… but eventually the sand took over the soil and it stopped growing. this was a dear friend’s favourite flower. you can have one though! i’ll give one to you!”

“really? that sounds like a sad story… but thanks. hey, luciel nii-san, why are you so quiet for?”

luciel scoffs at him, “reporting to headquarters about what we discovered, of course.”

yorha no.8 type S has rediscovered lunar tears. he is showing signs of recovering his 32nd life’s memories data. proceed for execution?

memories. no, that’s wrong. how could luciel make that kind of mistake? androids only have data that can be implanted, altered, or deleted; they were nothing like memories.

luciel’s finger hovers over the ‘send’ button. his eyes turn to lay upon siwoo, chatting away happily with the cart. he’s always wondered… what was the personality trait that was programmed into himself? androids shouldn’t feel pain or remorse when they destroy a fellow android, and yet at his core it feels… crushing.

it’s for the sake of humanity, he tells himself in his mind repeatedly.

“hey, what’s up?”

the executioner battler-type android smiled.

“did you know, lunar tears are said to grant wishes?”

“no way, are you serious?!”

report received. execute yorha no.8 type S.

“mmh. you were the one who told me a long time ago.”

luciel never believed that a flower could grant wishes, only god could do that. but once upon a time during the duration of siwoo’s 19th life… he foolishly thought it was possible.

About Suzume no Tojimari

----------

TLDR. I LOVE DAIJIN!!! 😍❤️🎉

-------

(110323)Finally I watched it today in a nearby cinema!! After waited for it since last year!!!

What can I say?

I LOVE IT!!!!

All of it was a very...very fit to my expectations and cater many of my favorites troupe in anime:

- Long haired ikemen

- adventurer girl

- cats

- adventure genre

- a lot of abandoned ruins and even have that unsettling abandoned theme parks!

- the background songs!! (Reminds me on Nier automata and ofc the Redwimp one)

- Yuming song!!

Definitely gonna buy the artbooks hahaha

I love this movie so much!

However...

(Spoilery:)

.

.

.

.

What I kinda sad tho... Souta screentime was very few.. glad I already read the first chapter of the light novel so I knew what to expect..but still tho.. :"") his voice reminds me on Katsura haha (tho I knew it was not Akira Ishida)

I love that the story is not too romantic and cringe as some other Makoto Shinkai's movies (yeah.. like Kimi no Nawa or 5 cm, Its kinda not my cup of tea)... It's more of coming of age movie? Finding your own lost self? Kinda reminds me on Belle..

I kinda think that Suzume feeling to Souta not really.... reciprocated................yet? I mean... We know she loves him so much (she's developing crush first).. but his screen time and interaction was very few... So yeah..maybe they really ends up together after the end?

Whom I love so much? Unexpectedly it was Daijin.. love him so much, especially in the end because he looks so tiny and cute.. and I love cat much so yeaah.. he's reminds me on noface from spirited away tho..hahaha, but the talking style more like ponyo

Also I like Serizawa.. he's so funny!! And has a great 80s japanese music tracklist..so my sister love him hahaha

Oh yeah also... I watched it on 11 March and her diary went black on 11 March so that's really something.. when I saw the date on screen " wait today is 11 March, right?" And look at my sister who agree with me..

All in all... I think Imma find some merchandise of Suzume xD

UPDATE:

(120323) I watched Suzume for the 2nd time on 12 March in 4DX! It was whole another level with all of the effects! everytime the characters closing the doors!! Feels like together with them on the spot!

Anyway the second watch made me felt more attached with Daijin... Hmm I think there's some misunderstanding indeed..but it wasn't really shown in the movie.. like, why he cursed Souta? Was that purely mischief or something related with Suzume's ability to see Tokoyo?

I just remembered that when I read the first chapter of the novel (only with google translate so maybe not really accurate), it seems that Daijin as the key stone..actually placed inside the door.. and in the movie, Suzume leapt through the door first before accidentally kicked the stone.

I have theory that Daijin's power actually spent a lot to surpressed the worm in the western side of Japan because too many door/gate were open (maybe Souta just recently becoming a Closer after his grandpa got sick), thus why Daijin very small while Sadaijin really big. Considering Souta and his grandpa were in Tokyo, I bet it's easier to close the door nearby Tokyo and thus Sadaijin power maintained. Maybe... Daijin got angry because the Closer seems to neglected him/the western side of Japan, thus why he was like' try to be a keystone yourself, closer!! (Just my speculation lol)

Anyway.. Serizawa age is 20-21, coz in his ID card his birth year was 2002, so maybe Souta too..

Still wonder why Souta has blue eyes?

UPDATE AGAIN

(250323)Okaay so I just watched Suzume again for the third time!!! Unbelievable! I just love it so much! You know watching it again in the Cinema feels really nostalgic (even though it's only 2 weeks since then) but...huhuhu everytime I saw Daijin or listen to the ost during this third rewatch, my eyes got teary..🥹🥹🥹

What I learned today.. I finally saw that Souta's grandpa was indeed lost his right hand. I found this info from the visual guide book and was like "is he???"..and yeah.. I wonder what happened and why he decided to deleted all information about the Tokyo's gate? (He seems really close with Sadaijin, they're probably a partner back then? Can wr have Suzume's spin off?).

Souta's eyes actually reminded me to Johan Liebert (Urasawa Naoki) especially during the Souta's drowning scenes..

I also realized something during my second rewatch back then..which was how Daijin potentially looks like a human in some circumstances (for example during the bar scenes), while Suzume said he looks like cat, the bar waitress said he was a new calm and polite 'human' customer...and Suzume was like, human? Daijin position during that scene kinda weird, since he sits besides some office workers? So maybe he could shapeshift to human?

Aand it's really possible that Daijin actually embodiment of....fun? Or merrier atmosphere or any other positive things..considering he always talks in...smiling and cheery intonation? Aaand he always brings more people to the place where Suzume's stayed in (at the Orange-girl's family inn and Kobe-woman's bar). He definitely Yang, while Sadaijin is Yin.. Maybe that's why Sadaijin looks more...feminine? Like a mother cat to Daijin?

Since both cats probably based on Yin-yang, maybe that's why Sadaijin brings a sadness atmosphere? (During Tamaki and Suzume conversation). Tho I honestly think all of these still not explored in a depth yet. Really hope what actually happened could be explained more throughly in the comic book.

I read the mangascanlation (still 2 chapters) and it was really good! The story very similar with the novel version. Apparently Souta's as the handsome chair looked more expressive in the comic.. and Daijin also more explained? Cannot wait to collect the comic when it's published in my country..

Daijin becoming my focus whenever I rewatch this movie..hahah 😂 but overall I love all the colors, vibes, music, story, characters etc from this movie. But it's still a 9.5/10 coz I think several dialogues and actions between Suzume and Souta still a bit...cringe 😬.. but hopefully it'll be improved when Makoto Shinkai making this kind of adventure movies for all age again~~

Anyway~ now I finally have several Suzume official merchandise!! Yaaay! Hopefully my collection increase hehe! Gonna buy the blu-ray once it got released!!

Cannot wait for official Daijin merchandise! It's so difficult to obtain huhuhu

ps. I read someone speculated that Suzume's ancestors actually one of the Closer for the western region of Japan.. Thus why Daijin really want to be Suzume's familiar. And I think it's kinda makes sense. Suzume somehow seems natural as a closer too! Tamaki as her aunt also seems to understand when Suzume said Daijin and Sadaijin somekind of gods.

but since it's not enough evidence.. wish the spinoff novel got translated too (just foundout that japanese viewer received several spin-off novel of Serizawa and Tamaki story from the Cinema), maybe it's has some hints about Suzume's ancestry?

ps. Other reason I love this movie... It reminded me how transient human life is and how close we are with death... Especially since my country also inside the ring of fire... Hopefully God will always protect us..

Update:

I edit a cheap daijin doll from shop*e.. hehe now he looks like the real Daijin no? XD

Before (left) and After (right)

[mirror-to-the-past]

My Personal Top 10 KH Music Ranking That Nobody Asked For, because really, I could talk about music all day. So, here we are! :D

(1-5 are songs that overwrote some part of my brain chemistry. 6-10 are amazing and still give me happy brain syndrome upon listening to.)

1. "Nachtflügel" - KH3

Objectively incredible feat of musical composition that should go down in history- that piano work is ridiculous. I don't even know what to say, really. Went into a trance-like state while listening to this for the first time. If this was able to usurp "Enter the Void" for me, you know this is good. When that beautiful, soaring melody comes in around 0:40, you just wanna cry. When that lower, mournful motion comes in around 2:10 mark, just... godly. It's like flying but with darkened angel wings; don't know how else to describe it- menacing but free. I'm bad with describing how music makes me feel, because it's often just so MUCH. Very dynamic, excellent, showstopping, etc. Can't wait for Shimomura to ascend to musician heaven in a chariot of fire.

2. "Enter the Void" BBS

When I first heard this I was filled with such unparalleled levels of energy that I can't communicate effectively. The rhythm from the drums and horns is something primal that you feel in your soul. Feels so heroic. I am going to war /positive. When the strings hit around a minute in, I feel like I'm flying. Around 1:50 in, when the orchestra comes in after that brief break, I legitimately almost cried from the euphoria, haha.

3. "Forze Dell'Oscurita" - BBS/KH3

That intro is just godlike. Not much more to say. Spiritually froth at the mouth with all the Xehanort-related motifs present here. Both versions are awesome AF, with me maaaybe picking the KH3 version if I had to, purely because of that flute trill at the beginning, and those horns.

4. "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion" - 358/2 Days

Beautiful mixture of Riku and Kairi's theme. When it gets to Kairi's leitmotif, the melody is so dreamy and ethereal- absolutely gorgeous.

5. "The 13th Reflection" - KH2

So hype. That's it. So hype. Grandiose and beautiful both in original forms and remastered version. I go bonkers. It's got that Final Fantasy percussive pattern I love.

6. "Enter the Darkness" - BBS Version

The usage of Ventus', Roxas', and ESPECIALLY how Sora's leitmotifs come into the melody are excellently executed and exhilarating. And don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the addition of the electric guitar in the KH3 version, but the original hits in its own way that the other version didn't. And shout-out to that part of "Unbreakable Chains" with Sora's leitmotif but super jazzy and darker in tone. Love that.

The cutscene where this track first started playing in DDD is forever tattooed in my mind, because the visual and musical transition into the fight was magnificent. It's got Destati, it's got Ansem KH1 fight theme. It's good shit.

7. "L'Eminenza Oscura I" - DDD or KH3 version. Both rock.

"You can try."

*WHOOOSH*

*PIANO LIMIT BREAK*

("You can't protect ANYTHING." Damn Ansem, chill out, Riku's just sixteen. Stop capitalizing on his insecurities.)

8. "Sacred Distance" - DDD

The usage of a mournful, trailed off version of Dearly Beloved's piano is so poignant for this ost, as encountering this track after finding out "Dearly Beloved's" significance to Sora and Riku's connection and seeing Sora's dangerous position in the plot at TWTNW signifies that the broken down parts of Dearly Beloved's melody littered throughout the song is no coincidence. It gives the stark feeling something is wrong/missing. I look like that "Patrick Bateman listening to music with his eyes closed" meme while listening to this track. That violin part...

9. "Treasured Memories" - KH1

In the words of someone who overheard my playlist: "That sounds like something I'd play while depressed to stay depressed." It's been immortalized in my mind since. It also reminds me somewhat of the City Ruins piece from NieR: Automata. Very serene and melancholic.

10. "Lazy Afternoons" - CoM version

I loved this version with the leading harmonica so much I didn't care for the KH2 version nearly as much as a result. Y'know that part of Ratatouille where Ego eats the dish and he gets mentally zapped back to his childhood? That's what this song felt like.

Honorable Mentions:

a. "Forze Del Male" - KH1 Version

It just can't be beat. That opening is on par with FFIX's "The Dark Messenger" in terms of memorable villain organ theme intros, for me.

b. "My Heart's Descent" - DDD

My favorite version of the "Dive into the Heart" melodies. Feels dreamlike (lol, wonder why) and so very Important in a way beyond my petty understanding.

c. "The Eye of Darkness"

Cool combat rendition of "Dive into the Heart."

d. "It Began With a Letter" - KH1

So soft. Feels like home.

e. "Keyblade Cycle" - DDD

GROOVIN'.

Nier Automata [First Ep Impression]

First Impression: Man, they're focusing in the story and speedrunning the playable segments.

Review: First thing, I love Nier Automata as a game. Its easily one of my favorite games ever and I never get tired of replaying it.

That's why I'm trying to not get my expectations too high with this anime. Videogame anime adaptations have always been notorious for not being exactly the best, with clear examples like Danganronpa, Divine Gate, Devil Survivor, Diabolik Lovers… And that's just the letter D!

For every 10 horrid adaptations, we get one good videogame adaptation, something understandable that many of these adaptations are trying to fit in 12 episodes over 20 hours of content that we originally find in the source material.

That's why there isn't much I can judge from one episode, specially one that adapts what in-game is a tutorial to help us learn the controls (one that for someone like me who isn't too used to playing bullet hell games took me over 2 hours to reach the save point the first time, I don't even want to imagine how long it would have taken if I had picked hard mode).

Something Noteworthy: Dear lord someone please put some shadows in that CGI… I'm incredibly glad they kept the game's OST too, it's one of my favourite things about it! Expectations: As I said before, I'm trying to stay with low expectations. There are many scenes I look forward to seeing animated, but I can't help hut worry that the story will be rushed and they might sacrifice many of the plot details…

It's also going to be a pity the fact we very likely won't be able to see most of the side quests, and even less likely that Emil and the side quest with the flowers won't make it to the anime either, as those are mostly a call-back to Replicant.

Will I keep up?: Ride or die, even if it turns out to be the hottest garbage of the season I'm gonna stick to this show simply because of the sheer love I feel towards the source.

[sevarix-blogs]

Hey Var! I've been wondering if you've played Nier Automata? It's mostly to ask if you've heard their ost because man its really good! I'm completely obsessed with A Beautiful Song. Love the opera singing in this so if you haven't played, i still very much recommend the ost if you like some nice opera and instrumental game jams (but the game is also still very good, i am not normal about it)

i have not played any nier games! they're on my long list of games to play, but i've never gotten around to them! i heard they're really good. plus there's a reference to it in ffxiv and it would be fun to understand the reference.

that's good to know about the ost, i'll have to check it out! 👀

[rubisaurus98]

1 and 69? :33

Goddammit, Eunice....jk ily

1.Weight of the World--NieR: Automata OST

Naturally, the main theme of my #1 favorite game. I really can't describe it in words, I just listen to it and vibe and reminisce about playing the game itself with all its grand story and themes.

69. Contemplation in Snow--Genshin Impact OST

Ah, Albedo's theme, my 2nd favorite Geo after Zhongli. Very nice to vibe to.

[maverickflare]

hi david my friend david. if u had to pick ur all time favorite track out of every ost from all of the video games youve played over the years what would it be . i know this is a loaded question but i am curious.

personally for me it would be dance of the moonlight jellies from stardew which i know is saying a lot bc its like so nothing compared to everything else but its so calming to me . i like it

okay well idk if i have a most favorite so heres just a compilation of music from games that stuck w me in some way (ie. entered my playlist and didnt leave for months/years/etc.) bc i love handing out links. also i dont think these are objectively the best from their respective soundtracks either this is just like. music to roast my brain to.

snake eater - mgs3 ost

the magic mirror - specter of torment ost

shadowlord - nier ost

bamboo boogaloo - the messenger ost

song of the ancients - nier automata ost

radiance - hollow knight ost

13th dilemma - kh ost

Nier Automata: The End of YoRHa Edition (Switch)

Kind of curious they decided to port this to Switch after a few years, but hell, there it is

It's one of those few odd "miracle ports" the Switch has gotten here and there; yeah, the game runs at 30FPS top and the textures are much lower res and everything is a bit fuzzier around a lot of the edges, and if you tear through areas too fast the game stops you to load in the next chunk, but goddamn does it hold that 30FPS stably. The visual reductions, while noticeable, are pretty acceptable given it's on an ancient phone chipset

Nier Automata is still Nier Automata, albeit you can feel that it's less responsive due to the lower framerate. It's still a fucking hell of a time, it's still a glorious game with enthralling writing, its aesthetic is 11/10, its OST is one of the medium's best (Weight of the World is immaculate in both Japanese and English), it still feels good to play and something needs to steal its plug-in chip system.

If you have absolutely no other way to play it - the PC version was allegedly reworked with the Windows Store release but I've also heard it's still fucky so the Playstation version is still probably the best one - then this suffices. And hell, it has all the DLC arenas and outfits rolled in for free, plus it has new ones (absolutely gorgeous kimonos, even) added in.
