Perhaps he’s just going through a phase where his creativity isn’t as high. Was the sheer immensity and scope of the project just too much? He’s done a quality job for the 51-episode Victory Gundam series which also featured a three-disc soundtrack, so that can’t be it. It’s far from a fall from grace, but it’s riddled with enough inconsistencies to raise a few questions. With such lofty expectations, it’s a matter of time before he’d let us down.įullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood’s soundtrack is that letdown. His previous works, from Arete Hime to the fantastic Red Garden soundtrack have shown us just how good he is at writing music that brings out not only that upwelling of emotion associated with loneliness and suffering that the characters experience, but also the wellspring of hope that the characters draw from to see them through to the very end.
Review: When Akira Senju is scoring any anime, it’s not unreasonable to expect nothing short of greatness, but that’s unfortunate baggage to be carrying around when he does finally stumble.
