If you all are going to watch Animenz more often it might be interesting to read the description of his songs as well. He usually describes his inspiration, decision making process and general thoughts for the songs he composes there.
NO WAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS LEGEND! Despite his huge subscriber count, nobody really talks about him much/does reaction content on his videos for some odd reason-appreciate you for this, and I hope you guys are doing good! 😄👍
Animenz is mostly known as "Father of Anime Piano". Born and classically trained in German, but Anime changed his life and moved out from his conservatory to grown up as an Anime Piano Pianist instead of Classical Pianist. Keep reacting to him, every piece he's covered to has its own special technique. For example, if you're looking for fast playing techniques, you can check his cover of Unravel. If you're looking for accurate and extreme difficulties in classical pattern you can check his cover of My Dearest. And If you're looking for his "three-hands technique", you can check his cover of bios. And of course many more. Animenz shows the different ways to play piano, I'm an classical pianist too and when I'm tired of the "classics", Animenz music changed me, now I enjoy my play more. Maybe Animenz will be a great reference for you guys in piano journey. Most people says that we in next 200 years will learn his piece in daily. Lol.
@@JustNichts if you're an old fan, u should know the story of animenz from it's video description. The problem he's face, his piano journey, and his "life". He is 100% German lol😆
@@riochii7386 yes of course he is not the first in this industry. But, he is the most successful anime piano pianist to date. If we're compared about the oldest in the industry like kyle landry, marasy, theishter, and other of his predecessors, he is not so far off too. So being apart for 3 or 4 years doesn't eliminate their position as a legend, so we can admit that 'they' are the fathers of this industry. Also, I'm not really sure but i dont think that animenz is inspired by marasy, because the way they play is very different. But, i reminds that everyone have their own stories that didn't tell, so #cmiiw thanks.
For Animenz piano performance, I love My Dearest and Snow halation the most. My Dearest is challenging and difficult to perform. Snow halation performance can make me feel the love inside the song.
LOL animenz is also my idol! would have quit piano many years ago if it wasn't for him... his guren no yumiya and my dearest inspired me to practice and improve a lot over the past 10 years... 😁
@@kumaru-animeonpiano4061 i don't think that i have one specific piece i would like in a video, instead, could be more effective if you choose more youtubers to react! I suggest SLS Music, Theishter Piano, Cateen and Kyle Landry. Plus, sounds interesting if you made some analysis above classical music, but it's a topic that you don't wanna talk, because college is more than enough HAHAHA!
@@capivaramanqqq OMG i'm so glad you mentioned cateen and sls music! They're two of my favorite pianists! I especially feel like SLS doesn't get the recognition he deserves! I will definitely make a video about underrated youtube pianists one day! btw our next video will be about classical music hehe....
So late to this two-part series but I loved it - so refreshing to see a reaction video where the viewers have something to bring to the table. Apart from Ru, Marasy and Animenz, I think Mr. Li Piano's cover brings a fresh (and highly technical) take to the song - same with SuuPiano's, so I'd recommend those two if you're interested in delving further! Also, since you were talking about piano sound editing in the previous video, know that Animenz uses the MIDI recorder of his Steinway Spirio and renders the output with a tweaked preset of the VSL Synchron Steinway D VST (you could say it's a glorified soundfont) P.S. He has an assistant who changes the moon lamp colors via remote
These reactions were really fun! You guys mentioned jazz pianists doing anime covers... if you want some good ones, I recommend Goza's Piano Channel, Cateen, and Jacob Koller. Goza and Cateen are both classically trained, and Cateen in particular leans pretty heavily into his classical side. If you want a direct comparison with Animenz, I believe Goza and Jacob Koller both have Mixed Nuts covers.
@@kumaru-animeonpiano4061 Goza is also an exceptionally good pianist, you should definitely check him out at some point too! Incredible technique and improvisation skills.
i'd love to see your reaction of different people playing Animenz's arrangement of tokyo ghoul op and then reacting to him playing it just to see the differences
I recommend giving James Chou Anime Piano a listen. I feel like his style is sorta like the Animenz and classical type. My favs gotta be the Aozora no Rhapsody and Himouto Umaru chan transcendental etudes, and Ignite😁
I have fun fact for you. That left hand pattern 6:20, Animenz get inspired by marasy8. You can find older video of Animenz, he told that in description.
I’m biased but I think you plan on reacting to more animenz in the future you should definitely add crying for rain vogel im kafig and saja tune to ur list (I’m learning those rn). Crying for rain is just a technique masterclass, vogel im kafig is the perfect combination of technique and raw emotion, and sakayume is probably animenzes most recent Chopin inspired piece.
Animez originally was a classical pianist but he grew to love anime music and so he's trying to turn anime music into classical music. That's why his music has a lot of classical themes to it in case you didn't know. Also thanks a lot for showing his video's to more people it breaks my heart to see my role model as a hidden gem when he deserves so much more considering all his hardships to make sure we keep getting his videos.😊
If y'all plan to react to more of Animenz.... then boi do I have news for you. This piece could barely be considered a medium level piece from him. Check out his Unravel, My Dearest (I slightly have a personal preferance towards the old original cover), Guren no Yumiya (full version) etc... among many other of his pieces that make you want to just lay down and pass away when you try to play them.
Also, I dunno if he still does this but, as far as his arranging process goes, I think back in the day at least he used to finish arranging the piece on the sheet music before ever touching the piano. I don't know if this is normal since I'm self taught but that thought just blows my mind.

oooh thank you! I have read a few of his descriptions and I find them very intriguing!

i agree!!! He's an amazing pianist!!!! his fanbase is mostly Japanese I believe...
Lol Because no one does reaction content on piano videos in general, or any instrumental cover videos in general, regardless of subscriber count.
@@kumaru-animeonpiano4061not really, there are a lot of people from different countries
Facts that left glissando just cut short at the end was more effective. It’s like the actual chainsaw winding down.
that's what I'm saying....

Animenz did merry go round of life extremely well, i recommend you guys react to that if you plan on reacting to him more.
sTOP i love his cover.
Really enjoyed this video, would be awesome if you did more Animenz reactions! Just subbed

i just saw this! that’s crazy!
Great video! If you ever plan on reacting to more pianists, please check out Kyle Landry’s dearly beloved arrangements!
I’ve gotten so many recs about Kyle Landry! Will for sure check it out soon!!!

@@kumaru-animeonpiano4061 That is very true
PLEASE react to Animenz’s piano cover of “Unravel”, it’s practically got a fandom of its own at this point
I hope you react Idol covered by phyxinon!!This project is interesting for me!!
Thank you! Adding that to the list!

HAHA trust me, i’ve tried…. my small hands could never play his high difficulty arrangements…….
SHEESH arrangement without touching the piano…? crazy…
I will like to recommend about unravel by animenz it is a masterpiece
planning on reviewing that soon!
@@kumaru-animeonpiano4061 😍wow thanks a lot
6:52 🤣

Maybe another dude sits behind him and has a remote to controll the colors 😶i have this moon too
HAHHA I WANT THE MOON NOW
Could you do more animez reactions, you all have a great perspective
thank you and yes we will do more!
