I thought a leitmotif was more in reference to a specific syle/genre or song, like tons of Deltarune's songs being leitmotifs of earlier songs in the series.
That little Clannad jingle nearly activated a primal fight or flight response in me. I absolutely forgot about that song, and about 10 years later you get my pavlovian tears out again. You're a monster.
Music is one of the most fundamental aspects in creating the proper mood and tone for shows, video games, movies, etc. The proper utilization of soundtracks for anime's can transform a simple show into a work of art. Music can make or break a show. From the emotional ost's you hear from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso to the exhilarating and godlike ost's you hear from Shingeki no Kyojin, it can completely alter a viewer's mood. Music is a powerful tool.
gigguk: posts a video about the best ost in anime also gigguk: doesnt mention hiroyuki sawano even once aot fans: we have failed... *plugs in headphones playing youseebiggirl while quietly sobbing*
@Mateusz Music is actually one of the few industries where that isn't 100% of the case. With any creative art, if you go full on mechanical without talent, your art will be bland and dead inside. Nobody wants that. This is especially prominent in something as complex as music.
Just want to talk about something you didn't mention, in Death Note L is represented by piano and Light by guitar and as the two characters clash so do the two instruments. When L seems to be winning the piano overpowers the guitar and vice versa.
I watched it 3 years ago, I don't remember the plot at all and I remember that it was quite shitty but when the Guilty Crown OST started playing in the video it was such a soothing experience. The music really carry out the anime just like Gigguk said. They just placed the right musics at the right places and that did the whole thing
My reaction at 9:27 was a "what?" And i couln't agree more with calling the police. Just hope he hasn't skipped cruel angels theseis, if you do that, there is no salvation.
Playlist that includes mentioned anime like FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing, Clannad, Kill La Kill, and more: ruclips.net/p/PLZ2-JDRQ60ESMogeLRF_bdPY6QNvs3C-m
The power the soundtrack holds on a anime is shown in A Silent Voice. Literally every musical piece just embiggens or elaborates the detail of the scenes
Kensuke Ushio (composer for all the music in Koe no Katachi) is prob my favourite composer ever So unorthodox yet so fucking good. Every time a new soundtrack came on I jus Bussed
Let's also take a moment to appreciate the music *A Silent Voice's.* So minimalist, yet the amount of feeling it conveys. It empowers the the tone and the emotion of the movie. Absolutely beautiful.
Can we talk about the fact how the song's volume just fly up the sky at the last scene everytime you get the feels. As if the movie is telling us to CRYYY MOOOREE!!!
Hands down one of the most impactful osts for me is the Requiem of Silence in Re:Zero ep 15, it makes the already emotional scene exponentially better, giving me chills and tears.
I’m really surprised he didn’t bring this up, because that is probably my favorite moment in any anime and the music is a major part of it. Re:Zero could probably have its own video essay done about how it uses OPs and EDs for effect, and its insert songs too
The dongo song was just annoying... UNTIL the one thing that shall not be named happend and I cried for the rest of the season. Even now, almost 6 months later the few notes are enough to make me tear up instantly.
I’m so glad he did that “but in the context of the rest of the show” part because it was so fucking true. Tokyo Ghoul is probably the anime that I’ve seen that has annoyed the living shit out of me the most, for so many different reasons, because I liked it, I wanted to see things happen because elements of it are interesting, AND THEN IT JUST SHITS ON ITSELF... Anyway, the scene of dumbass walking like a slow fucking emo kid normally would have been very appreciated, but in that context, it irritated the shit out of me...so yeah, IS SHE STILL RUNNING? Lmao
zachery429 So true. When I watched it I just shrugged and thought to myself, "ok. They're trying to tug on emo kids' heartstrings"... But then when a lot of edgy teenagers entered the fandom I got really irritated at the scene.
Ashley Yang yeah, the edgy teenagers certainly didn’t help my view of the show prior to watching it. -though, it didn’t hinder how I felt about the show either, the show irritates me all on its own merits. I still want to like it, and I do, but I also hate it and I can’t stand the main character, the show builds up an epic moment but all the motherfucker learned to do was pop his knuckles like an edgy boi, lmao
I just binged violet evergarden a few days ago. I did like it, but it didn’t resonate with me as much as it seems it did with other people. Could you describe to me what you really liked about it, so I could hopefully get a better understanding of it to appreciate it more
Statikk Sheev there are few to none animes that take emotions as a part of our soul. Violet Evergarden is a pure, non cliche show like the others out there. It shows the real beauty of the 1900s, where we thought it was black and white, but it was really the majestic century of the world. Gigguk didnt dive in so much to Violet Evergarden because he is already influenced to non-emotion anime like shounen and other violent anime crap out there. AND MAAAN.. as a human being, we really need love, but in this 21st century, the social standards are ridiculously high like they’re treating us like robots. Love is misinterpreted by so many. Some by body, wealth, accomplishments, face and many more. And love is never about doubts, regrets, expectations, and greatness. It’s removing all of burden from your heart, and have full trust on the one you’re loving. But our love nowadays are influenced by our environment. I know you think I’m talking nonsense here, but that’s the point of influenced interpretation. From the past centuries, Love is so good. But now, look at us now, lookin like robots dressed in a human mannequin.
AoT is definitely one of the best examples of a show that would be no where near as popular without it's soundtrack, and I'm not just talking about the OPs. Also, Your Name without the Radwimps soundtrack would be called No Name.
There are certain OSTs from Your Lie In April that just get me tearing up Actually no All of the songs make me cry cause all I can think of is the FREAKING ENDING
Gigguk I'll be honest, one of the main reasons I think your videos hit me so hard is because of the music. You always have exactly the right tone set out and the time you spend picking it out is not wasted, I promise you that.
I always found Gigguk's videos to be entertaining, but it's videos like this one that really stand out to me. Amazing how someone who always professes their degeneracy can make such wholesome pieces of work.
Through the whole video, i was wishing for zankyou no terror to be mentioned but as the video neared its end, i was crying inside on why is it so underrated?!? But then it came nd i was filled with such glee! Von is literally one of the most beautiful osts of all time nd it really has that "cold land" vibe😭💘
Supp8 it’s not fair, I’m watching this video and he puts Secret Base on, and every single time I hear that god damn song, I start to cry. I had no idea a simple piece of music could make a person cry so much
One of the best nuts I’ve had in anime was watching the scene in attack on Titian where Eren seals the wall. The music mixed with Armin yelling “GO EREN!” and Eren screaming as he slams the boulder down did something to me that no hentai has done before or since.
OH MY GOD I SCREAMED WHEN YOU ENDED WITH ZANKYOU NO TERROR The entire video I was thinking about it hoping it would be mentioned for it's unbelievable soundtrack AND YOU DID IT. YOU FUCKING DID IT.
rivulet I know right? ! The music from that anime is amazing, it has a unique feeling. I liked the serie a lot, even though their goal was so simple I don't know ... I just love it.
After finishing that show I just could not get its music out of my head. I spent ages hunting down the tracks and constantly listened to them on repeat. The music was most likely the reason I picked it up on Bluray! It is one hundred percent a must watch for anyone.
MinTieS yeah I had to do a lot of searching to find the OST in it's entirety. Once I found it I immediately added it to Apple Music and listen to my favorite songs from it quite a bit.
I don't know why, but Guilty Crown is still one of my most favorite anime, I downloaded like every single OST of the series and I still get so emotional while listening to them. Even if the anime went wrong in the second half, I still like it.
There is no better soundtrack for a certain anime then RADWIMPS for Kimi No Na Wa. I still tear up whenever I hear the songs. That time that the opening starts playing during the last episode always sends chills down my spine
I wasn't talking about the Star Wars spoilers because i don't care about it. I was talking about "kokoro", it's cringy. Could you please delete your comment so people who actually follow the show wouldn't get spoiled?
Gigguk: music can make or break an anime and it's an important part to any good anime... CDAwgVA: what r music relevance?🤷🏿♂️ drum goes boom boom hehee.
One anime that I think nailed its music is Jojo’s Bizarre adventure specifically the music tracks for the Jojo’s and the villains fitting pretty perfectly with their associated character for instance Johnathans theme is a big orchestra showing off his honourable nature, Josephs theme being a big techo rap showing his quick thinking and trickster character, Jotaros theme showing off his bass ass personality and powerful stand, Josukes theme constantly build in up kind of relating to his Crazy Diamond ability to fix stuff, Giornos theme showing off his determined personality and having a way of letting everyone know he won with the piano part and this even extends to the villains with DIOs theme showing off his evil nature perfectly, Diavolos theme being very mysterious relating to his unknown past, Kiras theme being normal yet unsettling, awaken my masters and avalon being absolutely fantastic I could go on forever

I usually skip them too, mostly due to watching anime at awkward times when I am supposed to be getting dressed for work or going to bed for tomorrow's workday.
It's about time that music in anime is being talked about in a grander scale in the anime community. It's super-important to the timbre of the atmosphere of the show you're watching, and if there's no music, it mostly gives you less stimulation to keep watching the show.
Dude, I loved Hiroyuki Sawano long before I even knew who he was. Attack on Titan is the first anime I watched and it's music is at least 40% of why I loved it so fucking much.
Hamzah Shafiq Yeah, AOT is a show that *definitely* gets it's soundtrack *spot frigging on.* Those soaring choruses just instantly bring to mind swooping around like a badass on 3DMG XD Even if you've never seen the show or the opening credits, you listen to those songs, and you're gonna be like 'oh shit, someone's about to throw *down* O_O'
And when to use silence as well. Like Gigguk mentions in the naruto part stopping the "I win" music is really powerful. In a film called "no country for old men" 2007, there is no music at all. And it's absolutely perfect for making the whole thing really tense. There's no stupid loud piano or guitar to give away a big threat coming on to the main character. How to use silence is just as important.
5:44 "What do you feel when you here this track" Internal bleeding, depression, sadness, cancer, fever, COVID-19, diabetes, broken bones, hallucination, tears falling from my eyes
Although I haven’t watched anohana (I’m planning to watch it as soon as I can don’t worry) the way people react to it is pretty much the same, in my opinion, to how people react to the ur lie in April op (if they’ve watched it, which I have). I can’t help but form a tear in my eye whenever I listen to it, which is why I’m gonna watch anohana, so I can cry whenever I hear the op because of how good the execution was. That, in my opinion, is why I love watching sad anime. Some are so beautiful that it’s worth crying for.
So glad you brought up Zankyou no Terror, the music is what made the show and is still one of my favorite soundtracks. Even after a few years I finally practiced walt on piano and get the vibes every time I play it 🎹🎶
I adore the Zankyō no Terror OSTs too, but you forgot something... You forgot that these soundtracks fly me to the moon 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀.
Now that I watch this video again one of the more tear jerking music moments in anime for me at least was the moment you heard the first food wars op in the last ever episode with this beautiful piano cover, just too much for me
Gurren Laganns Libera me from Hell was a god damn masterpiece. Doing rap over piano and drums and then having the opera with the bass of the drums coming through the background was epic. When they fuse the two at the end it really gives the tingles.
Omg right! If you check out the no game no life opening it has a similar thing with the piano and fast paced drums being the siblings in anime. It kinda matches to how they are in the anime with Sora doing most of most of the heavy lifting (drums) and Shiro doing the complicated stuff (piano). At least, that's how I like to think about it.
Pretty sure I commented on this before, but I rewatch some of my favourite Gigguk videos every now and then, to soothe my nerves. This is one of them. I love the Music, I love the script. Thank you! I love your stuff!
@@harrythomas2657 u need to listen to the ost's of AOT...they have a fucking suite for it... and the use of silence is insane...and don't even get me started on op's..
@@harrythomas2657 good music doesn't mean that it has to be unique..if its good then it shud be good...and the use of that music matters in anime..it has to be used at the right time and the right place..aot nails it so i think it has every right to be in this list
I think an interesting counter-example is Sora No Woto. While music is a central theme in the show, it’s never over the top. The music is just part of the background/setting, except for a few very notable scenes. I feel it really adds to the feel of the show.
Gigguk is a literal mind reader zankyou no terror literally one of my favorites cuz of the soundtrack. That last scene gave me goosebumbs. so powerful.

Jojo's , Aot's Death note's, Naruto's, Cowboy Bebop and Devilman Crybaby's soundtracks have to be my all time favourites in anime.
“Is Touka still running?” one of my favorite quotes ever
The power the soundtrack holds on a anime is shown in A Silent Voice. Literally every musical piece just embiggens or elaborates the detail of the scenes
Its so good infact that it completely makes you forget how inferior it is to the mang
i can’t stop crying the second “lit” comes on
Kensuke Ushio (composer for all the music in Koe no Katachi) is prob my favourite composer ever

Through the whole video, i was wishing for zankyou no terror to be mentioned but as the video neared its end, i was crying inside on why is it so underrated?!? But then it came nd i was filled with such glee! Von is literally one of the most beautiful osts of all time nd it really has that "cold land" vibe😭💘
I was so glad to see that you included Gundam Build Fighters in this. It's my favorite Shounen series and I wish that it got more recognition.
No one will talk about Anohana. Everyone know they have cried listening songs of Anohana
To this day I truly can't listen to Secret Base... I start getting really emotional
Supp8 it’s not fair, I’m watching this video and he puts Secret Base on, and every single time I hear that god damn song, I start to cry. I had no idea a simple piece of music could make a person cry so much
Dont forget last train home as well
Ikr, anohana is really something special
I feel abnormal because i only felt bad for them never cried
"If you hear jazz, that means I'm coming."
**Jazz Music Stops**
Jazz you say?
One of the best nuts I’ve had in anime was watching the scene in attack on Titian where Eren seals the wall. The music mixed with Armin yelling “GO EREN!” and Eren screaming as he slams the boulder down did something to me that no hentai has done before or since.
Video: "Kimi to natsu no owari."
Brain: Signal the eyes to shed tears, now!
Gigguk: "For those who have seen Ahohana what do you feel when you hear this track?"
Me: "Oh Please, no..."
Gigguk: *Plays it*
Me: *Cries*
so fking true , jesus
we don't even need the anime to get the feels anymore, we just need the song at this point
GhostLK its like clannad openings and ofcourse the dango theme
I haven't seen the show so I'm guessing that means I should probably watch it huh?
Thanks for warning me :)
Still cried anyways
OH MY GOD I SCREAMED WHEN YOU ENDED WITH ZANKYOU NO TERROR
The entire video I was thinking about it hoping it would be mentioned for it's unbelievable soundtrack AND YOU DID IT.
YOU FUCKING DID IT.
rivulet I know right? ! The music from that anime is amazing, it has a unique feeling. I liked the serie a lot, even though their goal was so simple I don't know ... I just love it.
After finishing that show I just could not get its music out of my head. I spent ages hunting down the tracks and constantly listened to them on repeat. The music was most likely the reason I picked it up on Bluray! It is one hundred percent a must watch for anyone.
MinTieS yeah I had to do a lot of searching to find the OST in it's entirety. Once I found it I immediately added it to Apple Music and listen to my favorite songs from it quite a bit.
rivulet zankyou no terror's OP is my favourite OP ever, either that or tied with the Anohana OP
SAME
I don't know why, but Guilty Crown is still one of my most favorite anime, I downloaded like every single OST of the series and I still get so emotional while listening to them. Even if the anime went wrong in the second half, I still like it.
There is no better soundtrack for a certain anime then RADWIMPS for Kimi No Na Wa. I still tear up whenever I hear the songs. That time that the opening starts playing during the last episode always sends chills down my spine
0:24 me in music class
Danny Vue Lmao😂
Danny Vue
I know what you feel, i'm bad at music too.
Same xd
Sauce?
yeah souce?
Tokyo Ghoul's "Glassy Sky" hits me right in the feels
AnimuIsLyfe *better than the last jedi spoilers*
please don't do this
I wasn't talking about the Star Wars spoilers because i don't care about it. I was talking about "kokoro", it's cringy.
Could you please delete your comment so people who actually follow the show wouldn't get spoiled?
Are you Ken Kaneki, Eyepatch ghoul, Centipede, Haise Sasaki, One Eyed King or Dragon?
FUCK
Gigguk: music can make or break an anime and it's an important part to any good anime...
CDAwgVA: what r music relevance?🤷🏿♂️ drum goes boom boom hehee.
One anime that I think nailed its music is Jojo’s Bizarre adventure specifically the music tracks for the Jojo’s and the villains fitting pretty perfectly with their associated character for instance Johnathans theme is a big orchestra showing off his honourable nature, Josephs theme being a big techo rap showing his quick thinking and trickster character, Jotaros theme showing off his bass ass personality and powerful stand, Josukes theme constantly build in up kind of relating to his Crazy Diamond ability to fix stuff, Giornos theme showing off his determined personality and having a way of letting everyone know he won with the piano part and this even extends to the villains with DIOs theme showing off his evil nature perfectly, Diavolos theme being very mysterious relating to his unknown past, Kiras theme being normal yet unsettling, awaken my masters and avalon being absolutely fantastic I could go on forever
Remember Your Lie In April's first ED?
Remember the same song coming up in the final episode?
Goddamn that hit like a truck.
Chronox Oblivion, More emotional then Anohana😢😭😢
Wasnt your lie in aprils first song a Joe hiasashi castle in the sky piece.
Do you remember the 21st night of September
oh my gosh I LOVE that op!!! Stellar anime
Didn’t thanos die in there
The mob psycho 100% theme is so cool
Joyit agree, that is hype beast level

Actually the name of the song is 99.

Listened to many times to it.

I think the "%" are not part of the title
Man, this is my favorite video ever, i've seen it like 5 times already, amazing, always manages to make me emotional
I'm glad you mentioned the soundtrack of Terror in Resonance, some of the best music I've ever heard in my life.
9:34 "This is 911 what's your emergency?"
"He skips most anime openings"
*Say no more*
I usually skip them too, mostly due to watching anime at awkward times when I am supposed to be getting dressed for work or going to bed for tomorrow's workday.
I skip when I don't care much for the OP.
It's about time that music in anime is being talked about in a grander scale in the anime community. It's super-important to the timbre of the atmosphere of the show you're watching, and if there's no music, it mostly gives you less stimulation to keep watching the show.
Yeh everytime i reflect on the wide variety of music spread over anime my mind just gets blown everytime.
Dude, I loved Hiroyuki Sawano long before I even knew who he was. Attack on Titan is the first anime I watched and it's music is at least 40% of why I loved it so fucking much.
Hamzah Shafiq Yeah, AOT is a show that *definitely* gets it's soundtrack *spot frigging on.* Those soaring choruses just instantly bring to mind swooping around like a badass on 3DMG XD Even if you've never seen the show or the opening credits, you listen to those songs, and you're gonna be like 'oh shit, someone's about to throw *down* O_O'
Well music and sound is part of the Trifecta in the end.
And when to use silence as well. Like Gigguk mentions in the naruto part stopping the "I win" music is really powerful.
In a film called "no country for old men" 2007, there is no music at all. And it's absolutely perfect for making the whole thing really tense. There's no stupid loud piano or guitar to give away a big threat coming on to the main character.
How to use silence is just as important.
5:44 "What do you feel when you here this track"
Internal bleeding, depression, sadness, cancer, fever, COVID-19, diabetes, broken bones, hallucination, tears falling from my eyes
13:50 my sisters in the morning singing.
*Where do you learn such big words, senpai?*
The dicktionary.
U gotta attain the higher level of being... i mean weeb
*autɪstɪc screechɪng* Not from a jedi. It's not a word the jedi would tell you.
Violet Evergarden’s soundtrack is beautiful. But I came here after watching Demon Slayer ep 19. That track during that scene gave me *chills*
Ikr 🥺🤧
That track literally made cryyy bruuh
Bruh i love gurenge
That Your lie in April scene brought me pain
You mean Chopin Ballade no. 1 in G minor?
Although I haven’t watched anohana (I’m planning to watch it as soon as I can don’t worry) the way people react to it is pretty much the same, in my opinion, to how people react to the ur lie in April op (if they’ve watched it, which I have). I can’t help but form a tear in my eye whenever I listen to it, which is why I’m gonna watch anohana, so I can cry whenever I hear the op because of how good the execution was. That, in my opinion, is why I love watching sad anime. Some are so beautiful that it’s worth crying for.
The climax of “you say run” will ALWAYS make me climax
Bryan Pena why is that one sentence so relatable???
And then hearing the crescendo from United States of Smash makes me cry and nut at the same time
So glad you brought up Zankyou no Terror, the music is what made the show and is still one of my favorite soundtracks. Even after a few years I finally practiced walt on piano and get the vibes every time I play it 🎹🎶
Connor be like "What music?"
the thing that makes your name stand out to me so much is just the masterpiece of a score radwimps composed for it
I adore the Zankyō no Terror OSTs too, but you forgot something...
You forgot that these soundtracks fly me to the moon

Finally someone talked about this, music is definitely one of my favorite parts of anime
Justin Hall same here
Justin Hall I agree
Definitely
Connor: *Noice noises. Notices go brbrbrbrrrm*
Now that I watch this video again one of the more tear jerking music moments in anime for me at least was the moment you heard the first food wars op in the last ever episode with this beautiful piano cover, just too much for me
My friend : bro skip the OP
Me : i can't. It's too good
My friend : i know

Gurren Laganns Libera me from Hell was a god damn masterpiece. Doing rap over piano and drums and then having the opera with the bass of the drums coming through the background was epic. When they fuse the two at the end it really gives the tingles.
Omg right! If you check out the no game no life opening it has a similar thing with the piano and fast paced drums being the siblings in anime. It kinda matches to how they are in the anime with Sora doing most of most of the heavy lifting (drums) and Shiro doing the complicated stuff (piano). At least, that's how I like to think about it.
Pretty sure I commented on this before, but I rewatch some of my favourite Gigguk videos every now and then, to soothe my nerves. This is one of them. I love the Music, I love the script. Thank you! I love your stuff!
Higurashi (Mainly the old serie) had great soundtrack too. Very creepy and memorable.
dawg, classic osts and even better if you know the context in the VN
GLASSY SKYYYYY ABOVE
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GOD I LOVE THAT TRACK FROM TOKYO GHOUL!!
man. that anime did a lot to me.
YAaaaaadsssss
AS LONG AS I SURVIVE YOU WILL BE PART OF ME
Gigguk: anohana
My brain: INTENSE EMOTIONS
lel
If you don’t notice the music then it’s really good, if you do, it’s either insanely horrible or insanely good.
God i still love those videos 5 years later
Whenever the bebop soundtrack plays, a wave of emotion and nostalgia hits me so hard.
ThickyMcRicky
You gotta carry that weight.
Gigguk: Doesn't mention AoT soundrack
All Aot fans: PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN

@@harrythomas2657 THE AOT FANDOM WANTS YOUR ADDRESS
@@harrythomas2657 u need to listen to the ost's of AOT...they have a fucking suite for it...
and the use of silence is insane...and don't even get me started on op's..
@@harrythomas2657 good music doesn't mean that it has to be unique..if its good then it shud be good...and the use of that music matters in anime..it has to be used at the right time and the right place..aot nails it so i think it has every right to be in this list
Hey, I like your choices to put Command and Conquer music in your videos. It hit's me when I least expect it
Gigguk is the only anime youtuber who can make me cry through his words along with amazing music choices
"How it can make bad anime watchable and enjoyable"
**Shows Guilty Crown**
Me: 'Cries while listening to Egoist'
The first season was good....
@@lenap319 Guilty Crown only has one season...
@@michael-fu3kh uups, its a while since i watched it.... I meant the first half
The whole soundtrack of GC is good thou, even their OVA ones. Then everytime EGOIST is singing the OP of an anime its insta nut for me
I acctually liked guilty crown
You know when music is top notch? During a TOURNAMENT ARC
Ivan Santiago i choked on my tea cause shit, youre right
Ivan Santiago don't you mean
TOURNAMENT ARCCCCCCCCCC!!
GarethXL did you say a TOURNAMENT AAAAAAARRRRRRRCCCCCC?!
Ivan Santiago True
So fucking *true*
I think an interesting counter-example is Sora No Woto. While music is a central theme in the show, it’s never over the top. The music is just part of the background/setting, except for a few very notable scenes. I feel it really adds to the feel of the show.
Gigguk is a literal mind reader zankyou no terror literally one of my favorites cuz of the soundtrack. That last scene gave me goosebumbs. so powerful.
5:45 I'm literally gonna find you. Be prepared.
5:43 "What do you feel when you hear this track?"
We feel tears, gigguk. We feel tears
i almost forgot about anohana but he made me remember that again i am crying now
mans only played like 2 seconds of the dango dango song from clannad and i almost started crying
“That moment when-“
*ad plays*
