Best Anime/Video Game Soundtraks
My favorite OSTs. |
| 1 |  | Yuki Kajiura
Kara no Kyoukai: the Garden of Sinners Soundtrack
The gritty and suspenseful world of Kara no Kyoukai was blessed with an unique, remarkable and memorable soundtrack made by the one and only Yuki Kajiura. Every tracks boasts its own meaning and even though some melodies may look alike that doesn't changes the fact that they're all good in their own ways. 10/10 |

Fate/Zero Soundtrack 2
Do you have a wish? If your wish is to make everyone in the world happy like Kiritsugu you're in bad luck but if your wish is to listen to one of the most bombastic anime soundtracks of all time, miss Kajiura is here to grant it. Hint: Listen also to the Sword Art Online OST, it is similarly great. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Vol 1.
Deep, dark and meaningful. Yuki Kajiura encapsulated all of Madoka Magica's essence in this marvelous OST. Sis Puella Magica! stands out amongst all of the other tracks as a trancendental song which is a pleasure to lend my ears to. |
| 4 |  | Keiichi Okabe
Nier Automata Original Soundtrack
Nihilism. Nier: Automata is about it and many other stuff. Keiichi Okabe gave the acclaimed game a fitting soundtrack. A Beautiful Song is as its name says, beautiful and my favorite track from the OST, which I reccomend you to listen right away as it is really worth your time. |

Pandora Hearts Soundtrack 2
Cute, cute, so cute. Dark, dark, so dark. Pandora Hearts fluctuates through these two aspects and the same can be said about its OST. Every song has its unique sound and Everytime You Kissed Me wordorous lyrics and Preparation eargasmic violin solo are something that are definitelly worth pointing out. |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D OST
Nostalgia. I haven't even played OOT as a kid but its tunes reminded me of the happiest times of my childhood. Every song boasts its own identity but as a latino Gerudo Valley resonated in my heart more than any other track and my favorite female vidya character, Princess Zelda, has a fitting an astronomically beautiful leightmotif. |
| 7 |  | Nobuo Uematsu
Final Fantasy VII: Original Soundtrack
I remember being hyped as hell to play FFVII but my father refused to buy it for me (for stupid reasons), Once I grew up I played it and it was one of my greatest gaming experiences of all time! And its OST stood out to me as one of the many aspects to love the game even more. Hint: Listen also to the Crisis Core soundtrack because Z̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶>̶ ̶C̶l̶o̶u̶d̶ it is just as awesome. |
| 8 |  | Yoko Kanno
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex OST Vol 1
Yoko Kanno's melodies graced many anime giving them nice and pleasant atmospheres. My favorite ones are the ones that she made for Cowboy Bebop and this one, GitS: SAC. Recommended Track: Torukia. |
| 9 |  | Koji Kondo
Super Mario Bros.
I remember once getting bored in my English course and whistiling to the SMBs main theme leaving a lady who never listened to it bewildered due to its sweet melody (True story). While the third installment is my favorite one of the Super Mario saga nothing beats the original game in terms of music. |

Sword Art Online Soundtrack 1
Sword Art Online is a great novel but a mess of an anime/adaptation. Its soundtrack stood to me as one of its redeemable parts. Kirito's and Asuna's leitmotifs "Swordland" and "Luminous Sword" are tracks with awesome melodies and while reading the novels its nice to have some fitting tracks as background music deepening the sense of immersion that its nice storytelling has. |
