For those of you folks who have been keeping up with the Rewrite and planetarian anime, I'm sure you've all been enjoying the opening and ending themes of both series. You must all be thinking, however, "isn't there more to these songs?" Well think no more as today, the single
Comments so far on the songs:
Philosophyz: The arrangement of the TV Animation sounds a lot cleaner compared to the original. You can really see MintJam’s improvement from 6 years ago. All the instruments all come together so much smoother. I’d say this has to be the best version of Philosophyz, hands-down.
Sasayaka na Hajimari: The feel of the TV Animation version is different from the original one from Harvest Festa. I feel that the original has a more smoother, jazz-like feel, whereas this TV animation version has a lot more orchestrals going on which makes the song a lot grander. They definitely aren’t unwelcome changes, and it at least allows me to appreciate both versions equally.
Twinkle Starlight: I’ve always been in love with this song, and Sasaki Sayaka’s voice really shines in the full version more than anything. I also like how the song doesn’t follow the usual structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus, thus making it a bit more exciting as a song. Also, the pianos that come in during the second verse are to die for~
Worlds Pain: This feels like the weakest out of the 4 songs, but perhaps that is just personal opinion going. There isn’t much new brought from the long version that you wouldn’t expect after hearing the short version uploaded some months ago. That said, though, it’s still a pretty solid track overall.
The version of the animation is very light.
The original version is more heavy.
Most openings emphasize the voice.
Most people prefer to hear a voice, leaving aside the instruments.
This case is no exception.
The version of the animation is done to make it less shocking instrumentally speaking.
The arrangement is clean and is friendlier to the listener. (I don’t know how to express myself properly). :sunohii:
As a person who likes diet coke (well, really more coke zero) more than regular coke, I can agree with this image, but in a totally different way 
I think in some parts, yeah it is, but overall I found it a more complex song. After the chorus I was shocked to hear a counter-melody playing(and I absolutely loved it), which added another level of depth to the song.
Heck, I thought that the vocals were mostly the same, and the instrumental underwent major improvement.
Yeah, Arrangements make it feel light in parts.
But as you say, it is cleaner and refined.
The term was not complex, it was light.
Thanks for correcting me. :love:
