Attack on Titan is one of these anime series, where small bits of information are being revealed with every new season and each of them are slowly fitting together like a gigantic puzzle. Every season is changing the status quo and with the time, you become unsure which side of the factions you are supposed to root for. All you can do is to just watch and see how the grand story is going to unfold in the end.
“Ashes on The Fire” is probably the most recognizable soundtrack in the Final Season and its enigmatic main motif “G-F#-G-G” (2:40) has really fascinated me: It has a feeling of “uncertainty” and I feel like fate itself is giving its voice in the music. It is interesting to note, that this main motif is used in other tracks of the OST album as well (for example in Track 02 “The Other Side of the Sea”)
① The “Chain of Hate”
One of the most striking characteristics of “Ashes on The Fire” is the endlessly repeating background violins in the middle voice range. There are multiple variations such as 1:46, 2:54 or 4:00 but they all have one thing in common: They are perfectly looped. I was thinking about the meaning behind these perpetual movements in the music and I came up with the following theory:
The characters in Attack on Titan are in a perpetual war with each other and they all repeat the same mistake over and over again - basically forming an endless “Chain of Hate”. And these endless repeating violin voices are essentially rekindling the already burned down world: “Ashes on The Fire”.
As if that were not enough, this whole arrangement itself has a perfect loop form because it starts and ends with the exact same notes (0:01 and 4:16). Therefore, the “Chain of Hate” will continue to play, even if the video has ended. There is no god.
② Extreme Dynamic difference
From suspenseful ppp (2:20) or a literal explosion of fff (3:22): This arrangement shows both extreme ends of the dynamic scale and it almost always happens instantaneously. The original song kept building up the tension in the music again and again with these extreme dynamic differences and I did the same on the piano as well.
On a side note, I think this is the first time I pressed the sustain pedal for almost 8 whole bars. The entire section from 0:35 until 1:02 is sustained by the right pedal in order to keep the G-minor chord intact and to build up tension in the music. (I absolutely look forward to play this piece again in a big concert hall and enjoy the reverb)
③ The one-man “orchestra” on the piano
In 1:10 for example, I managed to include the brass instruments in the middle voice range while the right hand continues to play the repeating patterns. But what happens if the multiple voices are too far away from each other?
My initial idea was to play the original violin melody (4:00) during the climax in 1:46 and 3:22 but it required impossibly fast jumps for both hands. That’s why I had to modify the violin melody a little bit to make it more reasonable to play with the three-hand technique. I guess as a piano arranger, you always have to look for alternative solutions: You want to replicate the “spirit” of the original song as faithful as you can, but you should still be able to play it with only two hands.
Alright, that’s it for today! This week’s “Animenz Explains” has gotten a little bit longer than expected but big thanks to everyone, who have made it so far! I hope you enjoyed my orchestra-style arrangement of “Ashes on The Fire” this week and I am looking forward to see you in the next video again! Let’s hope the “Chain of Hate” will be finally broken at the end of this season.
See you next time!

I absolutely love that this man labeled it as "Difficulty - Normal" in the sheet download link. What a legend.
tatakae
LMAO
Considering the other pieces he has arranged.... 😶
@@mrxecular7921 The most difficult thing in this piece is voicing well. It s ridiculous how well animenz make ALL voices indipendent. When the right hand is going with te melody in octaves and the left hand is playing bass and AT THE SAME TIME both right and left hand are playing the middlevoice (the melody that goes up and down )
It’s normal though
Perfect timing. When the final season is just about to rumble the world, we get an unparalleled cover from Animenz. A masterpiece of a cover for a masterpiece of an ost. It’s going to be a sad, yet glorious moment this show has its finale.

This dude is unmatched. Never seen a better AoT cover on the piano
fr tho
That left hand jump at 4:08 was insane!!!u completely caught me by surprise with that and damn what an arrangement it's stunning. Animnez u never fail to impress me
Wow, that was impressive
Yesterday right after he uploaded I tried to play his arrangement for two hours straight. That final part is really hard I didn’t managed to do it correctly tho. It’s so hard to manage your left hand when your right hand does this insanely fast jumping melody.
It really is hard! I can finally managed to play this after a week, you have to stop right hand mid air for a sec to place left hand beneath. Difficult as hell
As a huge fan of OST's like these, you totally nailed this one! The orchestra style arrangement and absolute abundance of 3 hand techniques make it hard to believe it all is really coming from one piano and one man behind the keys! Epic is the word that comes to mind.
Side note, I love hand crossings right? Right. 04:07 looked so insanely cool my jaw dropped!
Yeah, that part in 4:05 was a completely suicidal technique, but I managed to nail all the jumps (use 0.5 speed to watch the fingers of the left hand)
Arranging anime OST is really satisfying, because that's where I can go all out with my three hand techniques, haha
I yelled in surprise at that part and then added this to a playlist so I can listen again and again, but my hand was shaking....! Animenz is not like other mortals!
@@Animenzzz bro ur legendary, seriously it’s so awesome that someone with your skill has this amazing music taste 😭😭
if you like hand crossings look up mereaux bravura etude performed by barbaro mr
Это потрясающе !!!! 😍
Finally more AoT arrangements from Animenz! Also please do “call of silence” or a remake of your “attack on titan” arrangement but with your current style
I would also like to add "Red Swan" to the list as I would love to hear what he could do with it
call of silence
Good suggestion, putting this in my to-do-list for 2022!
@@Animenzzz your Ataek on titan arrangement it's really good, a re-arrangement with your current would be AMAZING
Incredible cover by the way, love that last part
@@Animenzzz Red Swan and a full cover of Vogel im Käfig would be definitely amazing in your style.
I’m honestly in disbelief on how well he captures all the different voices. This blew away my expectations, just insane…
he is a piano god. he only needs one instrument to build an audio landscape with multiple layers
keeping expectations for this guy is like arming trying to defeat eren in his human form. It's a losing battle isn't it???
Animenz starting off 2022 with a banger. I just don't understand his ability to constantly fit in multiple voices with just two hands, truly a one-man orchestra. And also those cross-handed LH jumps at the end on 4:05 looks really risky, but you still managed to pull it off, amazing.
Why did I read 2022 as 2020?
@@polinalavrova9669 2020 too
@@ryzikx were still in the Chinese flu unfortunately
As well as titans eat humans, Animenz is eating every single competitor in terms of playing anime songs on piano
3:53 i love how the music get higher and higher🎹 pure chills🔥🔥
The octaves and hand crossing at the end were insane. Definitely the best arrangement of this song so far
unreal how he makes 1:34 sound so clear and pianisimo. insane dynamics
The crossing over/crossing under (like wth) at 4:08 was insane 😭
A masterpiece again.
It's actually so crazy how on one piano you can play the part of 3 different instruments. Piano is truly the superior instrument. If it was violin, you could only play the main part and have a support or something in the background. With piano you are the main and the support at the same time.
I was waiting for this arrangement, only Animenz can show all the layers of this music with such marvellous playing! The end was just crazy, what an amazing three hand technique
Super pumped for the orchestral style as well as new anime. I can already tell that it is going to be incredible.
1:34 gave me goosebumps, that build up was insane!
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I REWATCHED THIS MASTERPIECE
What I love about your orchestral arrangements is how you compliment the energy of that middle voice with the main melody, which is more noticable at 2:55 and all throughout. Being able to trick the listener into making them wonder where the other sounds are coming from with just two hands is quite staggering 👏
Starting 2022 with fire! 🔥
We need more AoT covers from you dude!
^ this
Vogel im Kafig fr though
More AoT piano covers are planned in 2022. 😉
How can he play for almost 5 minutes without a single fail 😂
Muscle memory’s crazy
Because he is him.
Practice make improve
Many takes
He’s asian that’s enough
Those 3 notes before the whole orchestra drops on you never get old
Bro the fact that I can hear most if not all instruments playing with just him using the piano is actually insane, I’ve seen other piano covers for ashes on the fire but I’ve never heard so many different instruments just on the piano, it’s crazy
those 3-hand techniques seamlessly transitioning between right and left hand never cease to amaze me, this was so well-done!
この曲めっちゃかっこいいよな。最初聞いた時からずっと好き
4:07 can't describe how insane was that moves
This man is one of those living legends of the anime community which will be remembered for a long time.
Your playing is the actual most impressive and amazing thing I’ve ever seen like holy mother of god the way your hands fly and dance across that piano in every one of your arrangements astounds me. Absolutely amazing.
WOW! An arrangement of the new ending “Akuma no Ko” would be incredible to complete the Attack on Titan themes!
Your wish was granted, GRANTED I say.
@@teacup7885 AHHHH it was!
It’s so exciting every time animenz releases an arrangement because you always know it’s never going to be normal.
Finally, the arrangement that delivers the impact that the song is intended to bring. My respect to you sir. Btw, its downpouring outside, so that adds to the mood even more.
This is the best piano cover of this piece I've come across. I could only aspire to such epic playing
スゴすぎる…！
最後の盛り上がるところが完璧すぎて鳥肌たちました！
こんなにも鳥肌が立つような演奏をきいたのは初めてです
頑張ってください！！
3:22 this part is amazing. It's very hard to play this gamma from right hand to left and keep playing true dynamic on bass chords and melody
I really love this OST, not because of AoT or its Hype, but because how much of a genius Kohta Yamamoto proved himself to be with this. The parts 1:46 - 1:59 and 3:21 - 3:35 are particularly my favourite in this arrangement as they always seem to be made up of two separate arrangements on both hands being played in sync, bringing forth this intricate melody that's simply genius and damn Animenz you somehow managed to make those parts even better.
Also, that buildup from 3:53 onwards and the finale after 4:00 was insane. You perfected perfection, thank you
havent seen such hype for a show since like forever this is peak unity
If you want Virtuosic piano renditions of Anime OSTs/Themes, you can never go wrong with Animenz. Always Animenz!
And now we need Animenz to cover the new season opening, RUMBLING.
jesus dude the amount of counter melodies and 3 hand technique are just insane you really went all out on this one
Rich in layers, rich in many emotions and techniques, excellent interpretation, thank you for playing ❤❤
Hands down this is my favorite Animenz arrangement, love the dynamics. If Unravel is like an etude that you play to practice your fingers, this is something to be performed in a stage.
There's so many great ost's to choose from AOT, its awesome.
Almost all the OSTs in Attack on Titan are iconic
4:07 Animenz: "Limits? We don't have it here."
Breathtakingly amazing!!!
"I'm sick and tired of all these walls"
Reiner
What I'm visualizing in my mind:
0:00 Soldiers are preparing for war; it is the calm before the violent storm.
0:22 Tension is rising.
0:36 It's dinner time. There's food on the wooden tables. But no one is smiling. Everyone is anticipating the bloodbath that is about to come.
1:03 Shots are fired. All hell breaks loose, as military weapons begin to tell stories.
1:47 Dead bodies everywhere. The bigger and more destructive firearms are rolled into the battlefront.
2:20 A dancer dancing away underneath the silvery moonlight, in an atmosphere fraught with loathing and extreme distress.
3:08 Soldiers are thinking of their families, while consuming a variety of intoxicating substances to help themselves relax.
3:20 With a very brief moment of silence, the remaining soldiers charge out of the safety of the military fortification with their battle cries.
3:53 Machine guns are blasting out ammunition like there's no tomorrow.
3:59 The plane drops a bunch of people, who end up turning into titans in mid-air before smashing the ground, producing a massive explosive sound (at the same time the G is played). The imagery of turmoil is starting to get to insane levels, as would happen at the climax of war.
=============================================================
Looking forward to watch part 2 of the final season.
Have no idea what to expect since I haven't finished reading the manga.
That was an excellent read. Thank you for writing it!
I wish you can award youtube comments..
Man, the intensity in this one is off the charts! The resounding bass gives me the same vibes as your My Hero Academia arrangement. The fluidity of the third hand melody, especially in each of the choruses where the descending middle melody seamlessly passes from RH to LH, complements the fiery atmosphere of the piece, like water and fire, yin and yang. But the most impressive part is the insane crossing octaves at 4:07! It must take a great amount of precision to pull that off!
I really love moonlight - chan resembles the earth this time as in Animenz rumbles the Earth with his astounding octave jumps.
Holy moly, this is definitely going in the top 10 most difficult Animenz pieces!
Absolutely unparalleled. Flawless transitions. This is one of the best covers of a soundtrack I've ever seen.
Incredible arrangement! Anime soundtracks arrangements definitely bring out the best of Animenz.
This OST perfectly encapsulates the point of no return. Magnificent.
I love the third voice you always manage to slip in the middle. It must take an enormous ammount of planning and execution to pull it off
3 hours before the start and i'm already poggering
I always wondered how you'd arrange this song, and hoped it would come out almost like a sister arrangement to Walpurgisnacht in your Madoka medley. Despite your arranging style generally becoming more rhythmic and percussive over the years, it still kind of is, albeit in a different way, because of that overarching 'Animenz Orchestral Style'.
Animenz does love his multiple voices haha! The sharp yet seamless changes between homophony and polyphony along with the well-transitioned, convincing dynamics made this feel like I was listening to the original; fantastic stuff as always bro! Also, the subtlety at 2:20 was gorgeous! I cried from the beauty and Hanon pain watching that part lmao
P.S. Did your moon get an IOS update or something lmao it legit looks like a dope ass planet in a far-off solar system now
>Did your moon get an IOS update or something
Legit LMAO'd here, hahaha
Come to mention it, it really does look really cool in 2:20. I think it's the combination of the light strips with the illumination of the moon itself.
The hype is crazy! I love how everyone is preparing themselves to welcome the return of aot. Some might say it's overrated, some say the ending is bad but whatever you say,the truth is that aot is the only show that has left you swooning at the edge of your chairs. The people who hate on the show have not"dropped" the show inspite of the hate they give to the show.
Tatakae!
The Ending is crazzyyy. 💯
that was .. the coolest thing i've seen in my life ♥♥
あなたの弾くAOTの演奏が本当に好きです！
wow first piano version of this song that ive found fully satisfying!!!! you did a really great job here 💕💕
Your precision never let us down. Thank you Animenz for creating this masterpiece, hope that you could develope more in the near future🥰😍😘❤
these videos must exist as proof that the sheets he provides can actually be physically played
This song has been living in my head rent free since yesterday, and this is my new favorite cover of it.
Now… if they’ll PLEASE JUST DROP THE NEW OP ASAP OR ANNOUNCE THE ARTIST OR SOMETHING AHHHHH
🔥T🔥A🔥T🔥A🔥K🔥A🔥E🔥
I have absolutely no words to say about how impressive this arrangement is and to note how beautiful but risky 4:07 is, I'm baffled from how gorgeous this is. Thank you! 😄
Ah, yes, another session of me getting goosebumps over Animenz's arrangements. Thanks for the hype, now I'm ready. Tatakae!
The producer should definitely react to this cover💯💯💯
Anytime animenz posts a cover, it literally becomes the definitive best piano cover of it on youtube.
This video is the literal definition of "PHENOMENAL".
Exactly what we needed before the premiere of Final Season Part 2 🔥
That was beautiful. The way you played was so smooth and masterful not to mention that I felt it in my soul. Thank you for uploading this.
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO EVER GRACE MY EARS EVER. SIR YOU NEED TO BE IN A MUSEUM
This legitimately brought tears to my eyes it was that good
This man is just something else
The most iconic instrumental in 2021 ❤
god damn it bro
Animenz is definitely the best anime pianist on youtube!
OMGGGGG I dont expect he will cover this song 🔥🔥
HECK YEAH!!! I was waiting for you to cover season 4 main theme. And well, the timing cannot be more appropriate. Thank you so much for the amazing work!
i think i am the only one who noticed all the piano keys shifting towards the left coz animenz held the soft pedal and left it at 1:43 noice :))))) i mean there are many places where it was done to be played soft...but this part for me was very noticeable.
That was amazing!! I could hear all the different voices and lines from the original song. You are the GOAT!!
This needs to have ten mil
I like this kind of arrangement and it is just like you said, an Orchestral Arrangement. A masterpiece.
he has 2 million subscribers and still makes an effort on small things like a legit description and replies to a lot of comments, you're a legend, mate
Theishter and nobidia now animenz. He starts the year epiccccccc. I've been waiting for this.
Great start to the new year, love the dynamics. Left hand changing from ff to pp raising it and switching melodies only like you can.
So much fire for the first upload of 2022! Tatakae!
3:53
One of my favourite parts of the song. Animenz, spectacular job on this cover. You’ve arranged this OST perfectly, a quite astonishing performance. I could never be able to play like this in a millennia. Given, I did only start piano for 1 year now, but still, I could not play this if you gave me a millennia to live. So all in all, Great job Animenz! 👍😁
I need this man on Spotify
