"Is this what all of Gundam's music is like?"
As someone who's been a Gundam fan for the past 6 years, Yes. Yes it is.
From a fan of 21 years! IT is a 100% some lesser songs from the older gundam series, but overall yes.
its kind of the top tier of top tier music in gundam series, probably the best within the series, at the same or above the level of gundam unicorn's, dont talk about gundam seed series with me by the way
Top of disco, top of classical, top of rock, and some really good jazz (not really a fan of Io's taste, sorry)
There are always a few amazing tracks in any Gundam series you care to look at, and the two here are definitely on that list.
So surprised that this ost didn't get nominated in the Crunchyroll awards, but it won in the Newtype awards in Japan though.
Because the Crunchyroll awards are a joke these days
You hit the nail on the head about the moments where they play the tracks,Which From Mercury is basically the “comeback theme” while Aerial Rebuild is “we back,but we’ve seen some sh*t”
This and Rebuild was the FAFO song in that episode.
"What did the person that this is theming go through. What did they see?" When I tell you the answers warrant the music, I absolutely mean it. The show's prologue is up on youtube, and its a short show with lovely music and no prior knowledge of Gundam needed to watch it if you're interested.
I'm planning to give it a go in the gap between seasonal shows so I'm not putting even more to watch on my list atm. I usually watch like 20 shows per season as they release but there's nothing like a good old fashioned binge session haha
Very subtle I guess but they gave away the who Suletta is with her age, but she hasn't been through much. At least not in the murder side of things.
Well to sum it up. A very innocent yet heavy and tragic Happy birthday curse...
"its so uplifting!"
*takes a swig of whiskey*
Yeah. About that...
The official OST has been out since July and the track Aerial Rebuild is so much crazier than the Enryu cover was, with a length of 5 minutes as well
"God this is so uplifiting" - when that theme plays, the Tanuki comes out to play
Halloo!! The 2nd song you reacted to is actually my cover redention of the OST from the anime!
so you can basically expect the full original track once it releases to be 100x epic!!
This first time someone's reacted to my music so am trying to fight this grin off of my face as I'm writing lol
I was corrected on that misunderstanding after the fact but hey, as far as im concerned you brought a very specific emotional range out to let others experience it and the fact you did it so well i couldn't tell says a lot of good 🤘
@EnryuCovers Your Counterattack cover from Lycoris made me watch Lycoris and then I heard your Devil from Mars x Witch from Mercury ( as a Gundam fan with IBO and WFM being in my top 5 Gundam series all I can say is God bless you for that one ) , never stop you absolute legend :D
@@CatharsisYTthe official version has since been released if you have no gotten around to listening to it
“If you run, you gain one. If you move forward, you gain two.”
I am sorry for the PTSD
NOOO WHY. WHY. WHY.
Gundam OST's have a huge range, some sound more like a rock song like 00, Hispanic iron blooded orphans, and from there every sound track has they own feel
wait untill he hears about the Iron Blooded Orphans ost
This isn't what all Gundam music is like but Gundam has some exceptional music in places.
I quite like the gundam unicorn soundtrack which is by the legend Hiroyuki Sawano. It has some real heavy hitters like "Unicorn" , "Full-Frontal" and "RX-0"
My favorites are from Iron Blooded Orphans because their ost's reminds me of the good old days of ace combat zero
Turn A has really good music as well.
Unicorn had the best OST of all gundam. That includes 00 and Hathaway. Fight me
For the record, this series, as it stands now, is on the lighter end of the Gundam spectrum in terms of traumatic events and catastrophes.
Don't get me wrong, shit still goes down (the prologue episode is basically just a build up to a massive gut-punch), but when compared to Double 0 or a bunch of the series from the UC timeline, it's not nearly as dark as it could be.
Still definitely worth a watch if you've got the time.
Gundam has some of the best soundtracks in all of anime, probably just next to Jojo, especially when its done by talented composers like Sawano Hiroyuki or Takashi Ohmama
Did Sawano ALSO work on Gundam? Bros everywhere lol
@@CatharsisYT yeah on some of the series in the gundam franchise in recent years, its safe to say its like his part time job to make some music for gundam, I wouldn't be surprised if his music will show up in the next season of Gundam witch from mercury, man can't resist making music for gundam
@@CatharsisYT definitely look up Gundam Unicorn’s soundtrack and Gundam Hathaway.
@@CatharsisYT gundam unicorn ost can be considered as Sawano Hiroyuki's magnum opus(one of the greatest of all time)
@@alieztears unicorn is on my list, so from here it's just hoping it's not blocked worldwide like his Blue Exorcist work was
8:38 Sooo much. You should watch it. Its fucking good man.
I believe the composer for the music for Witch from Mercury is Takashi Ohmama.
If you wanted some clips to put the music in context the first song is introduced here where the characters are attending a school and there are mobile suit duels to resolve conflicts. The stakes are personal but these are not life or death battles: ua-cam.com/video/ApO5gTjtfcQ/v-deo.html
The other song appears at the end of the season when conflict is breaking out between different factions and people's lives are on the line and the characters innocence is being swept away as a war begins: ua-cam.com/video/Xz83KF12g6Y/v-deo.html
So my intuition was on point as well as the mood Ohmama was aiming for 🙏
I looked up who the composer was afterwards and I don't recall where but I've definitely seen his name elsewhere. Probably another show or maybe a film, I watch a bunch of stuff, but mecha was never a big interest of mine. I may have to give this project a shot now though
@@CatharsisYT btw if you’re ever planning to watch Witch from Mercury, be sure to watch the prologue episode before episode 1
Gundam has a large variety of music styles, but it's hard to not find gems in every series.
My favourites certainly have to be "Mobius", "Xi", "Earth" and "Tracer" from Hathaway's Flash and "Unicorn", "Mad-Nug", "Cage", "Vigilante" and "Narrative" from Gundam Unicorn and Narrative.
Thunderbolt, 00, Iron-Blooded Orphans, Turn A Gundam and many others have contenders for top as well.
I am looking forward to seeing you delve into Gundam music. Enjoy! Have a good day!
Haha your interpretation was spot on afaic. Amazing songs, the soundtrack in general adds so much to this show
Is this what all gundam music is like? Yes. Wait till you listen to gundam seed freedom, gundam unicorn and gundam iron orphan blood. Same quality of music. Very very very awesome. And then watch it together with the anime. Welcome to e world of gundam.
Witch from Mercury was made with a ton of AMBITION. It's dripping with a desire to do something amazing, on every level -- art, music, story, design, all of it. One of my favorite stories ever. Iconic. And my favorite female villain.
First song is 100% "Hell yeah flying robots and shit"
Thanks for the reaction! We, as long-time Gundam fans, love it when more people do Gundam reactions.
Also, Hiroyuki Sawano did Gundam OSTs as well. Would love for you to check out both Gundam Unicorn main ost "Unicorn" and Gundam Hathaway main ost "Xi".
I've got unicorn on the list, quite a few people have said that's a great one too 👀
@@CatharsisYT Nice!
This bgm was aged like a fine wine..
Suletta Mercury is the Witch from Mercury and she will Sing her Spell in her Gundam. That is what I am Imagining.
9:14 oh, 100%. In fact, I'd argue that across all of Gundam, one of the biggest overarching themes is "The children are left to pay the debts their forefathers accrued, and the interest is paid in blood. For whether we start off guilty or innocent, war makes monsters of us all."
6:44 sounds very Hiroyuki Sawano. Like one song/score from Hathaway’s Flash. :)
you should now react to the third one called "Liberation from the Curse"
There is also a live performance video for first theme, by Vienna orchestra
whatever you do dont look up episode 12 clips
personally would like to see a show reaction of this show :D
ty for the reaction
Don't forget I'm a music channel not a reaction channel, as odd as that may seem considering my recent boost 🤣 but I'll almost definitely give it a shot during the upcoming seasonal gap. I can let you know my thoughts when I do if you still want to hear them haha
@@CatharsisYT sure, id be down
Have you ever listened to Gundam Unicorn's soundtrack?
Unocorn's theme, and it's counterpoint Banshee have some of the best themes in the franchise.
I have not but assuming it's not killed for copyright, keep an eye out this coming week 👀
I always think of the Witcher 3 soundtrack when I listen to the vocalization
There’s actually a third song which comes before the first Aerial theme called the Lfrith I recommend listening my to that one too
Have you reacted to Hiroyuki Sawano’s Gundam Unicorn suite? If not….you should totally do that
"This is so uplifting." It shows that you haven't seen the anime. My poor, sweet summer child. I'm sorry your innocense will never be broken.
Now take a listen to the most recent one. It's called Quiet Zero.
8:39 The person saw hell
I feel like I'm going crazy... I've watched the official release video for "The Witch from Mercury" along side "Asticassia" and I swear there are variations in the sound that isn't in the official music video.
Themes contrast each other. First theme punches new fans and old that this is the new sound for the new flagship mobile suit Gundam Aerial. A theme of the birth for yet another gundam story. As we go along the series and how darker it develops, the aerial rebuild theme captures the awakening of something that shouldn't have happened. Our glorious bunny mecha and the innocent tanuki pilot transitioned in to something haunting and terrifying.
I hope they do the same to future gundam series. Orchestrated songs as themes that will represent the story and other aspects of it. Like how dragonball has cha-la head cha-la and one piece having We are!.... would be nice not only react to a newer generation of mobile suits but also listen to what the theme will be.
Make sure you listen to the original Aerial Rebuild track as well, not the "epic version" cover you listened to here. The cover is fine, but it's poorly mixed and sounds off to me. The original is plenty epic already and has better composition in my opinion.
gundam unicorn ost is incredible. Highly recommend.
you should spent some 25 minutes to watch the 『PROLOGUE』episode of The Witch From Mercury, i think it perfectly summarize what Gundam franchise usually deliver,
it goes from 0 to -50 to +200 in a very spectacular way
Hoping to see a Band Maid and/or Nemophila reaction soon! My recommendation for Band Maid song you may jot have heard is Sense and for Nemophila Revive.
If it's BandMaid I've heard it. I know Sense very well 👀 Nemophila I probably haven't if it's not one you've requested on a stream
@@CatharsisYT yeah kinda figured you’ve heard all the Band Maid. Revive is one Nemophila I havnt requested on stream so that should be new.
Hiroyuki Sawano already have a masterpiece at Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn & Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative.
The guttural cry genuinely still gives me goosebumps
If you love this, you need to check out IBO's soundtrack, along with Unicorn. Those two, along with Witch from Mercury are some of the best in Gundam for music.
I think there's two versions of Aerial's second theme. "Aerial Rebuild" is what's heard in the anime and "AERIAL 2.0" is like an epic version of "Aerial Rebuild", which is what you listened to. Both versions are bone chilling even without knowing the show's context imho.
This is the Aerial Rebuild original version: ua-cam.com/video/q_v9cztMW6M/v-deo.html
There’s a whole range of music for gundam cause the franchise has been around for 40+ years
the older stuff is well older buts its very much fitting with its time frame. Zeta's music is very 80's and 0083's is very 90's
1:52 Usually, yes. There's variety of music genre across each title but all beautifully done. Few of the games do justice too with their own few original OSTs or remake of the corresponding shows OSTs too.
Why don't you try to hear the songs of Mobile suit Gundam unicorn.
If you want, you can watch this:
ua-cam.com/video/EZwdv8Vq0BQ/v-deo.html
Is the recording session for "Asticassia" and ”The Witch From Mercury”. The second one you have is a cover, we still don't have the full version.
In the context of the show, how they do it... is amazing. Now what follows are spoilers, but there are the clips you wanted.
This is "Witch from Mercury" in the context of the story (episode 1), a hero rising
ua-cam.com/video/ApO5gTjtfcQ/v-deo.html
And this is "Aerial Rebuild", the contrast, a hero unhinged (episode 12)
ua-cam.com/video/Xz83KF12g6Y/v-deo.html
This is another cover collection ua-cam.com/video/omg5XR76Qn8/v-deo.html
Finally Sawano, one of my favorites, for me his best OST is from 86.
ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_lE3St2ajPifN7UJIiSfFeZ31m5YDl1OMw.html
Part of it is "Shift One to Zero"
ua-cam.com/video/aBMR28AdNBc/v-deo.html
Other composers I recommenced are Yuki Kajiura:
This is "Sis Puella Magica!"
ua-cam.com/video/bzlHPlq8hIs/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/channels/SNf96VG7sa2Cdk8-f6flUw.html
And Kanno Youko
ua-cam.com/video/lxDV40SbT8A/v-deo.html
some gundam OST are only just underrate but its masterpiece Like unicorn OSTs
1:54 "Is this what all of Gundam's music is like?"
As someone who's grown up with the franchise for over 20 years now (gods, I feel old typing that out) - let's just say that Bandai Namco does not hold back on the budget when it comes to the soundtracks.
"The Witch From Mercury", "Surface of the Iron-Blooded Orphans", Gundam Build Fighter's "Six Times the Passion of Ordinary Flamenco", Gundam 00's "Power", Gundam Seed Destiny's "Shutsugeki! Impulse", and Gundam Wing's "The Wings of a Boy that Killed Adolescence" are just a handful of my top favorite tracks throughout the Gundam series.
Here’s some gundam unicorn music ua-cam.com/play/PLvXMARe51eeZf5KO7szBNw31WIUELM3pZ.html
I would love to see a reaction to madder sky from Code Geass.
idk why but I hear miorine singing in the first ost
Have you reacted to the season 2 ending. Because its top level
Haz uno de madoca mágica el OST se llama absolute configuración
That's not the original version of Ariel Rebuild. It's been heavily tweaked compared to the version from the show.
Oh yeah no worries. I've since heard the actual version, but doubted it was worth remaking a video for. I was new and ignorant to how active fanbases were in making their own renditions to OSTs. Gotta admit they definitely did a good job though. Can't fault them for not putting in effort
How about trying out to react to Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans OST? it's medieval style ost but sadly underrated
Got any specific ones? If reacting to a whole OST was efficient I would, but alas I have to sleep sometimes haha
@@CatharsisYT it's ok you can do it any time🙂 I will subscribe you by the way
@@CatharsisYT go for the titular track: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans for starters
I know some people recommend sawanos music , so ill suggest gundam ibo also has some nice music as well
Watch Gundam thunderbolt! The jazz will make a nice contrasts against the orchestra from this series
ZgundamのRichie Kotzenのgo beyond the time も聞いてみてください
Hate to burst your bubble, but the song you're listening to is a fan-made version of AERIAL REBUILD. The voice sounds like it's recorded in a bathroom.
There is a third! (Fourth? If we count Ifriet?)
ua-cam.com/video/wqtv3U3ebbw/v-deo.html
Well if u want to know what happens relating to that OST let's just say Tomato Paste
Or just find Gundam witch ep12 post credit scene lol
an absolute mastershit
"I dont know what to do next" was said by the protagonist after she had seen some screwed up stuffs.
