TO ANY ONE READING THIS THIS SONG HAS BEEN ADDED TO SPOTIFY AS OF JULY 2024 IN TOE'S NEW ALBUM CALLED "NOW I SEE THE LIGHT" 8TH SONG ON THE TRACK JUST LIKE YOU ITS A AMAZING SONG THAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO BE ON SPOTIFY HAPPY LISTENING 😁 P.S ALSO ITS RE RECORD BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS DOWNLOAD THE OLD VERSION AND ADD IT TO SPOTIFY
Watch sunny boy, sunny boy is the anime that used this song. The anime is about the meaning of life and the meaning of death. With some sci-fi mystery put in there to spice things up lol. Great show.
@@MintTuesday After I came to know that Math Rock is actually a genre of music I went right away to Spotify to hear their official Math Rock playlist and I realised it's about instrumental brilliance more than anything here. So, yeah, you'll be missing the vocals if you wanna hop into this genre. But personally I like songs without vocals because that seems to soothe me when I need it with the absence of human voice that'd drill into my head otherwise. (If they sing in Math Rocks, they sing with a soft voice and that's another charming feature about it.)
@@MintTuesday as @TragicLight said they're mainly instrumental but i can list you some of they tracks that have vocal tracks. First list are sung by the band's vocalist Yamazaki Hirokazu and from the second are guests: Yamazaki Hirokazu: - Song Silly - F.A.R - The Latest Number - Goodbye (New Sentimentality version) - Ordinary days (kind of vocals at the end) - Boyo (kind of vocals at the end) Guests: - Tsuki Kake - Goodbye (For long tomorrow version) - Commit ballad - Say it ain't so I've to say that i was more of a fan of their instrumental stuff, but i've learned to love both so i strongly encourage you to try their instrumental songs, they're kind of the essence of the band and you'll like them sooner rather than later :)
This hits different after the last episode, the entire sequence with this song was perfect and beautiful, Sonny Boy is a masterpiece. I'm really sad that it has come to an end, I'm gonna miss this anime so much.
watched it last night was holding back tears man this anime changed my views on high school I just started high school this year and hated it till i watched this now i wanna cherish every moment and learn from it
I'm with you on that. I remember seeing Toe's shows several times here in Japan over a decade ago. Their songs are really beautiful after all. I liked the scene where Nagara and Mizuho run together in the final episode and I felt like I was watching Downy's music video. The band Downy, formed in 2000, is considered as the founder of Japanese post rock. They're acquainted with Toe, BTW.
@@snowyninja4766 from what i can tell it's region locked or at the least currently unavailable. It is on spotify though in the sonny boy ost, so at some point it might become available (i'll probably comment here again if it does). You can find the playlist with the osts just by searching 'sonny boy' and check to see if the toe song is available in your region, but at least here in the UK it's not.
accidentally found this gem of an anime cuz of the poster. it looks weird. they're in a school rooftop but the sky is completely devoid of any color. it's just black. so i watched the 1st episode and it was perfectly what i expected: the sky is literally black. what i didn't expect was them stranded on an island, middle schoolers trying to understand quantum physics and interdimensional traveling. so many information squeezed in 12 episodes that watching this anime felt like forever. it's almost as if i went adrift for 2000 years, more or less, with them. looking back at the poster, the sky's blue now. they're back. what a journey this has been.
You know it is really unclear whether they went back or they created a new world where Nozomi isn't dead. I think they went to a possible reality where Nozomi isn't dead as Nagara is an observer and he again opened a box of realities as he did in the beginning which caused the drift.
@@aoi_nagara it’s a different world than the one they are originally from. What I have doubt is that if Asakaze wanted, he could also have returned to earth (and since when)?
The weird poster and black sky is one of the reason why some people skip this show, they were not used to seeing such weird art for an anime poster. I'm glad to have watched it
After reading the director's commentary of each episode, I found that most of the world mechanics doesn't matter. Most of the feelings I felt on each episode is exactly what the director wanted
@@pacoag99 Before handing Nagara the original Mizuho compass, Asakaze's talks about how Hateno Island sank and that Rajdhani became a forest already. This alludes to an earlier conversation while building the rocket, where Rajdhani himself predicted that after enough time passed, the accumulation of unbalancedness inside him would turn him into a form "like Nozomi". In other words, even though from the perspective of the viewer, Nagara and Mizuho only took a few minutes to fly to the intersection of worlds using their rocket, enough time has passed in the these worlds while they were gone for Rajdhani to 'die' and for Hateno Island to sink. Asakaze himself bore witness to these fact personally, which means he must have been subjected to the different flow of time inside the these worlds too. In the end, Asakaze has experienced so much time, probably thousands of years, that returning to the real world would actually kill him (since it's stated again and again that Nagara and Mizuho were only able to pull off their return trip because they spent a brief time in the these worlds, two years total, otherwise the rule of 'time spent in the this world can't be taken back' would have left them stranded like everybody else). TL:DR Old man Asakaze would most likely have turned to dust if he had tried to go with NagaMizu.
I liked the ending. This song made me feel a mix of happiness and sadness. I recently decided to drop out of college, because it made me so stressed out that I lost a lot of weight and am not healthy nor emotionally stable. Somehow this anime made me decide even more that I am going to save my life a little. It doesn't matter how hard it gets, I'll be okay.
it was pointless to escape, but then he wanted to escape the world filled with statis, so he can grow to be a better person, and become a full grown adult. we all knew from midway through the show that it was pointless to escape, he can just jump into another world and things would be slightly different than before, but then again, he will still be the same person he is at the start of the show.
@@ajc090 They did leave, not sure why some ppl are commenting on internet that they never left, the whole thing is just dumb since it would go against the whole 12 episode is about, a metaphor of the passage to adulthood. When God asked Nagara "How are you gonna take that back with you?" he referred to the first compass Nagara had, the one which was copied by the withe cat (sorry idr its name). So Nagara, in the end, had two compasses, the one copied and the compass got from Asakaze. Just stop the video right when the Principal says that and you'll notice a blond girl standing in a hallway. That girl is the very same coworker who was watching Nagara while he was kicking the trash out of frustration.

The usage of music in Sonny Boy is ingenious. The show is silent for the most part so that it feels more impactful when there is music. And in sad scenes, instead of using dramatic sad music, the show uses more laid back and calming music to highlight the themes of the show
@@ElOmen22 But he's right though, it's really uncommon in anime to music be completely absent for the sake of atmosphere and aesthetic, and when it DOES kick in, it's one of the most memorable scenes in the show. I haven't seen yet other anime do what Sonny Boy does, and it tells a lot that the music complements the whole scene it's in so perfectly that i can't listen to this song in particular without sheding some tears just remembering that beautiful and melancholic chasing scene with Nagara and Mizuho
I cannot get over this anime. I finished it and cannot articulate what I'm feeling at all. I basically got stunlocked by Sonny Boy and its been almost a week now. I'm glad that there are people still replying, means that people are still finding and watching the show, and that it means so much to them that they search out the ost! I've watched Sonny Boy a few more times since I originally commented and even once entirely in Japanese (I've been studying). Live like Nagara, embrace the world in its most boring days for this is all we got. Each day is a rung of a ladder towards your goals and dreams and if you drift away, you will stop progressing! Which is alright, it happens to everyone now and again, just make sure, one day, to get back on that ladder and keep climbing.
Why do I feel like I've been here before? and this is the exact comment that made me watch Tatami galaxy. So we finally meet again, y'all may not know me, but it was for you that I watched that masterpiece, probably.
One of the best anime of all time. Absolutely loved this moment, and Sonny Boy. It left me contemplative after and I watched it during my own 'coming of age' during college.
@@leaf6134 I'm Japanese, but I can play in my country. I learned for the first time that the list of songs is different depending on the country. I'm sorry for telling you a lie.
FINALLY TOE IN AN ANIME!!!! I swear these guys are so influential in this style of mathrock. The moment i heard this in the anime i got hit by the largest wave of euphoria in years.
@@rachmathidayat673 there is no wy in hell, i just finished the anime, stumbled upon this video, thought i should add it to my spotify, saw the comment saying its not on spotify and thought "damn unlucky" click on "see more" and you tell me the song just releases. life is crazy
This show is a masterpiece that knew how to blend visuals and music to create something beautiful. Sad to to see it end but it'll always be one of my favorites.
I didn't understand every line when I first heard the song, but the opening "Let we aou" hit me. Hearing someone plead to you in two of your languages to see a person again - I don't think you can understand how it feels until you speak two languages. So on that note, indulge me as I give two notes from the translator (me!): The opening line, to me, is so beautiful if you understand both Japanese and English. The first words: "Mou fureta" is like the mental image of two hands' fingers touching. "Let we aou" - Let we is using English's subjects to plead, while aou is a statement - 'should meet.' The Japanese wordplay is so fun. Ou (追う) = to chase, Oou = to hide, Ou (負う) = to carry. E = image, Te = hand, and it looks like the use the onyomi for shadow (影) which is Ei. Three "o" sounds and three "e" sounds.
This song is like a warm blanket to me. It makes me feel something no song has ever done, like there's a person right next to me, radiating warmth and love, so much love. When I listen to this song, all I can hear is "Everything is going to be okay." In such an empathetic tone. It feels so human, each little sound. Thank you, Toe, for making such a special song. I like to have my playlists on shuffle, and this way when I hear this song, it's unexpected. During a stressful day full of work, I have a tradition: when this song randomly comes up, drop everything, and during these 4 minutes just let myself be swallowed by this comforting feeling. It helps me get through the day and gives me hope for the future. I love music, but I never thought a single song could have so much power. If you read a random stranger ranting about their love for a song, kudos to you, haha... I wish you a day full of warmth and love too.
Finished watching Sonny Boy and when I heard the guitar I instantly knew it was Toe. I couldn't believe my favorite band of all time was in an anime as subtle, ephemeral, and brilliant as Sonny Boy but Toe's music is just that. Subtle, ephemeral, and brilliant.
to be honest i freaking loved it. i know no one in this world might agree it. but this is a masterpiece. i love this type of anime. last season odd taxi this season sonny boy.
yeah both OT and SB are anime originals that hit that nice sweet spot but in very different ways. very glad i watched both, odd taxi a bit more popular now but they’ll both probably stay hidden gems overall
No matter how hard Nagara, Nozomi and Mizuho and the other stranded high school students try throughout the series, the conclusion remains the same: "You can never go home again" - Thomas Wolfe
True, the recurring reminder of “you can’t go back (to the old world)” is a metaphor of the childhood/past that was left behind and cannot be brought back again
@@nguyntn9026 I saw this on the top comment on ani-one This really hurts so much that when we grow up we have our duties and responsibilities to do and we have to leave our past self behind. So many friends will not be in touch and we will not even have time to hang out with friends. This is life, you can never go back to the past and you can never change the past but what you can do is move forward and change the future,just as Nagara or Nozomi said(I don't remember who said that). This anime is not very emotional but very impactful.
i feel like a total nostalgic boomer prematurely speaking. even though i'm in my 20s having gone through a lot yet not enough to find accomplishments but we must let go of the past and future equally. escapism is all fine and dandy until your anhedonia sets in. neet it up while you still can but embrace normalcy of working or studying and vice versa. it all boils down to multiple paths. deep yet shallow as it can get.
I was so hyped up after the episode one, but it's hard to say that I enjoyed watching every episode because no matter how I tried to understand, most of it went over my head. Therefore, I'll definitely rewatch this unique anime. It's totally worth it.
One of the animes that are better rewatched in one sitting. I'm enjoying Monogatari more on each rewatch. I'm willing to bet it's the same on Sonny Boy.
Approach it as a surreal piece of art. Surrealism taps into ones ability to find magic and beauty in the uncanny and the unexpected, the need for logical explanation to everything and conventional think will fall by the way side
I think to best experience sonny boy you have to watch it over multiple sittings, and probably multiple times, but that is completely worth it considering what a masterpiece it is
@@Shivam-vr6eh I cannot disagree more. I think Episode 1 was the weakest, and that it only got better from there. But I also felt that it was a masterpiece in philosophical and surrealist anime that made you think long and hard and accept that there are things in life you wont understand.
A true experience watching this, in these times and context. At least, aots, what a jewel!! Also, the entire sequence seems literally composed by Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood, what a ride! On the other hand, everyone talking about escaping the Drift but nobody mentions how RajdhaniGod traveled for 2000 years, watched how Death was created and became a forest to live with the animals forever😭😭😭😭😭
My 2nd favorite character after Mizuho! Also nobody mentions those times Mizuho blushes around Rajdhani, best one was when he said he developed "scoop scope" technique that let him look at something and get the romantic scoop. He turns toward Mizuho in the truck and she blushes and hides behind her cat, lolz! Guess she had a thing for him. Maybe in the real world she'll look up the original Rajdhani.
J-Post/Math-Rock is one of the perfect choices for this series. Sonny Boy, you're a gem. I so wished that they could had also added Toe's "Goodbye" or "Song Silly" and a little of bit of Hyakkei..
Аниме я пересмотрел несколько раз, и всегда ощущения после просмотра были разные, но эта музыка до сих пор вызывает те же ощущения безмятежности и спокойствия, как и в первый раз. (Очень рад что уделил время этому тайтлу)🩵
I've rewatched this scene so many times. The mixed bag of emotions and thoughts. There are no words to encompass it all. Probably the best visual audio experience I've had to date. Thank you Shingo Natsume.
I watched all of Sonny Boy in one night and after hearing this I think this is now my favorite song. The feeling it emits in contrast to the show is just indescribable, I'd love to watch it again for the first time
Gracias Madhouse por este anime, estuviste desaparecido los últimos dos años pero regresaste y lo hiciste a lo grande, este anime simplemente me parece perfecto. Sin miedo puedo decir que este anime es una Obra Maestra y una vez más Madhouse se reafirma como mi estudio de anime favorito,otra obra maestra que queda añadida al catálogo de animes de Madhouse.
I don’t know what it is, but this single piece of music.. has.. affected me. It’s hard to say how, however It’s one of those “I just know” type of things. It’s mysterious, sorrowful, yet cozy, lively full of emotions that words can’t describe nor express. To put it simply. I love it just for existing.
We all know we are here listening to this song over and over again because Sonny boy made us feel something special and scary inside all at the same time. Even tho we can’t truly put it into one defined phase we all know the feeling is as real as this this world can be.

i remember the first time i heard this that exact point was from when a drastic change subsequently occurred in my life.... with time i started to realize the feeling of melancholy left behind this anime ,i was almost depressed but at the same time the last line of this anime when nagara said," Our lives are just beginning. What lies ahead will just take a little bit longer."this inspired me and let me realize we cannot change the past so there's no point in holding onto it, what we are able to do is move ahead and shape our future as much as we want. this realization is very important to me, always being a shut in and after an incident i was totally down.Animes like this incite my heart enough to move on..... cause what I need is just a little bit of courage and enthusiasm....
It happens to me also. So many months have been pass since the show ended and in retrospective, i just improved so much because finally i just accepted my past and start to moving forward. This show and Megalo Box 2, was what i need in those Hard times. I hope you are doing great and remember "Our lives are just beginning" :)
i really loved that most of the moments of this anime had little to no soundtrack really helped set the right atmosphere. And this amazing song wrapped up the ending sequence perfectly. My top anime of 2021 for sure. Praying Shingo Natsume makes more original bombshells like sonny boy in the future
Estoy en las mismas aunque con 20 años, este anime me genero sensaciones fuertes y escuchar esta canción en especifico se siente extraño, en fin, suerte!
I cried so much in the ending... Partly because I didn't want the anime to end and because it makes me feel so sad for some reason that I can't explain.
Imagine running through the multiverse listening to this song - racing past different worlds, holding your lover’s hand asking yourself “is any of this real?”
I know I've been saying it up and down and everywhere but this is by far my favorite anime of 2021 and May perhaps even be one of my all-time favorites This band has definitely changed my life and they are currently musicians that I cannot stop listening to everything they've put out is so good I'm so happy this anime brought me to them
its been a year and EVERY TIME i hear this song, i always miss sonny boy so bad. i don't know how to explain it, but a weird feeling appears when i hear this song. something like melancholy thingy
Sonny Boy was an anime that wasn’t necessarily my favorite anime of this year (it’s Odd Taxi or Ranking of Kings depending on how it ends) but it is the one anime I’ve probably thought of the most. It was definitely a unique viewing experience.

You perfectly summed up Sonny Boy for me.
The band is ‘toe’ for anyone who wants to listen to more of their music. They’re pretty much the godfather of Japanese math rock.

Because it is the only true one, the only one free of stasis, the only one world where he can grow.

This is so interesting. They use a blend of english and japanese that sound the same like 'I owe' and '会おう'. Thanks so much for these lyrics
空耳異次元すぎる
In the scene of them running the shadow of their hands touch, I didn't even know it was that in depth.
The usage of music in Sonny Boy is ingenious. The show is silent for the most part so that it feels more impactful when there is music. And in sad scenes, instead of using dramatic sad music, the show uses more laid back and calming music to highlight the themes of the show
Everything in life uses music from television to martial arts. To sports commercials, everything
@@ElOmen22 But he's right though, it's really uncommon in anime to music be completely absent for the sake of atmosphere and aesthetic, and when it DOES kick in, it's one of the most memorable scenes in the show. I haven't seen yet other anime do what Sonny Boy does, and it tells a lot that the music complements the whole scene it's in so perfectly that i can't listen to this song in particular without sheding some tears just remembering that beautiful and melancholic chasing scene with Nagara and Mizuho
@@gustavoduarte3507 like they say, sometimes silence is louder
Nozomi's funeral was more painful because of the happy music. What a truly beautiful anime
I cannot get over this anime. I finished it and cannot articulate what I'm feeling at all. I basically got stunlocked by Sonny Boy and its been almost a week now.
I'm glad that there are people still replying, means that people are still finding and watching the show, and that it means so much to them that they search out the ost! I've watched Sonny Boy a few more times since I originally commented and even once entirely in Japanese (I've been studying). Live like Nagara, embrace the world in its most boring days for this is all we got. Each day is a rung of a ladder towards your goals and dreams and if you drift away, you will stop progressing! Which is alright, it happens to everyone now and again, just make sure, one day, to get back on that ladder and keep climbing.
Me too
Yeah me as well. I'm still trying to piece together why it made me feel the way it did. Stunlocked is a good way to put it
no matter how long you end up stuck on the show, they gifted us a absolute banger of an ost to listen too as we contemplate
Same except it's been mo months and still stunlocked
This
This anime reminded me of the peak madhouse era;
Unique osts, storyline, and art style.
I haven't fanboyed this intense in 12 years I've watched anime. This is just way too good and is definitely on a league of its own

Why do I feel like I've been here before? and this is the exact comment that made me watch Tatami galaxy. So we finally meet again, y'all may not know me, but it was for you that I watched that masterpiece, probably.
@@Htleveryday The Shingo Natsume effect. You know a masterpiece when you see one.
One of the best anime of all time. Absolutely loved this moment, and Sonny Boy. It left me contemplative after and I watched it during my own 'coming of age' during college.
I can tell this is going to be the best episode and it hasn't even aired yet

This song and Sonny Boy are both masterpieces
FINALLY TOE IN AN ANIME!!!! I swear these guys are so influential in this style of mathrock. The moment i heard this in the anime i got hit by the largest wave of euphoria in years.
Literally the same experience; halfway between bursting into tears and dying, love toe

this is on spotify now for anyone who's wondering. it's in their newest (2024) album and still called "サニーボーイ・ラプソディ"
Finally!
This show is a masterpiece that knew how to blend visuals and music to create something beautiful. Sad to to see it end but it'll always be one of my favorites.
Just got done with the episode with this OST, and oh my god it was so perfect listening to this masterpiece.
checkout Goodbye from Toe, it's their masterpiece song

I'm gonna live to the fullest from now on
I'm happy for you, good luck and hope you are doing well :)
you dont know how much im relating to that feeling right now im trying my best to turn my life around and this song helps me keep going
Deep after watching that anime it made me realize a lot of shit such an uneasy ride
commenting hoping you could see this so you can remember, i will start now too...
I HOPE YOU DOIN WELL MANNN
I didn't understand every line when I first heard the song, but the opening "Let we aou" hit me. Hearing someone plead to you in two of your languages to see a person again - I don't think you can understand how it feels until you speak two languages.
So on that note, indulge me as I give two notes from the translator (me!):
The opening line, to me, is so beautiful if you understand both Japanese and English. The first words: "Mou fureta" is like the mental image of two hands' fingers touching. "Let we aou" - Let we is using English's subjects to plead, while aou is a statement - 'should meet.'
The Japanese wordplay is so fun. Ou (追う) = to chase, Oou = to hide, Ou (負う) = to carry. E = image, Te = hand, and it looks like the use the onyomi for shadow (影) which is Ei. Three "o" sounds and three "e" sounds.
Thank you for sharing this! This makes the song even better
I didnt really understand shit when you translated the japanese into english
Wow, knowing both languages opens a huge door of understanding.
Thanks for sharing that
Yo, could you please like translate everything that is here? I can't understand a word but u feel like I really need to know
@@trueegorletovinformationra8828 check my other comment, i already translated it there (:
作品全体を通して素晴らしい曲が目立った。
私はこれが一番好きでしたね。
This song is like a warm blanket to me. It makes me feel something no song has ever done, like there's a person right next to me, radiating warmth and love, so much love.
When I listen to this song, all I can hear is "Everything is going to be okay." In such an empathetic tone. It feels so human, each little sound. Thank you, Toe, for making such a special song. I like to have my playlists on shuffle, and this way when I hear this song, it's unexpected. During a stressful day full of work, I have a tradition: when this song randomly comes up, drop everything, and during these 4 minutes just let myself be swallowed by this comforting feeling. It helps me get through the day and gives me hope for the future.
I love music, but I never thought a single song could have so much power.
If you read a random stranger ranting about their love for a song, kudos to you, haha... I wish you a day full of warmth and love too.
I feel this way about yuragi's Night life EP, just 4 songs, check it out
何気なく見てたアニメの最終話でいきなりtoe流れ出して思わず声が出た

It's now on their spotify on the "Now I see the light" album for anyone wondering
2:56 that beat drop gave me mad chills ❤️
Последние серии очень сильно меня тронули, такого внутреннего дискомфорта я давно не испытывал
Как говорят русские: "Посмотрел, встал из-за стола, подошёл к окну, закурил, много думал, плакал..."
не плакал, но было хуже...
Finished watching Sonny Boy and when I heard the guitar I instantly knew it was Toe. I couldn't believe my favorite band of all time was in an anime as subtle, ephemeral, and brilliant as Sonny Boy but Toe's music is just that. Subtle, ephemeral, and brilliant.
to be honest i freaking loved it. i know no one in this world might agree it. but this is a masterpiece. i love this type of anime. last season odd taxi this season sonny boy.
yeah both OT and SB are anime originals that hit that nice sweet spot but in very different ways. very glad i watched both, odd taxi a bit more popular now but they’ll both probably stay hidden gems overall
I wholeheartedly agree with you mate.
OT was amazing, I'm wondering which one should i watch first? This or Kings Ranking.
@@MUI69420 Definitely this.
Odd taxi is one of the new age classics. So is Sonny Boy. Wish more people would give these shows a chance.
Here to say TOE RELEASED IT TODAY ON SPOTIFY!!!!! I love this song so much, it has so much depth and emotion for me
Sadly it's re-recorded and just sounds a little off because of how much I've listened to this version... I'm so sad
Holy fuck the remastering is insane, listening to it feels like a brain massage
Now we just need Spare by Mitsume to be re-released on Spotify
No matter how hard Nagara, Nozomi and Mizuho and the other stranded high school students try throughout the series, the conclusion remains the same:
"You can never go home again" - Thomas Wolfe
Ok, let's roll the dice
True, the recurring reminder of “you can’t go back (to the old world)” is a metaphor of the childhood/past that was left behind and cannot be brought back again
@@nguyntn9026 I saw this on the top comment on ani-one
This really hurts so much that when we grow up we have our duties and responsibilities to do and we have to leave our past self behind.
So many friends will not be in touch and we will not even have time to hang out with friends.
This is life, you can never go back to the past and you can never change the past but what you can do is move forward and change the future,just as Nagara or Nozomi said(I don't remember who said that).
This anime is not very emotional but very impactful.
Actually the phrase is.something more like: even if you go back, you have changed, and it wont feel like it did before.
It will be.different
this comment feels so heavy, i can't breathe
You better remember when this one plays! One of the greatest scenes of all fiction, elevated ever so higher by this exceptional composition.
i feel like a total nostalgic boomer prematurely speaking. even though i'm in my 20s having gone through a lot yet not enough to find accomplishments but we must let go of the past and future equally. escapism is all fine and dandy until your anhedonia sets in. neet it up while you still can but embrace normalcy of working or studying and vice versa. it all boils down to multiple paths. deep yet shallow as it can get.
@D didn't know Nobara was in this show
Then there must be a Itadori and Megumi as well
The trio must be together always
@@aoi_nagara lmaooo
スポティファイ!📍🇺🇸🚫🦻🏽 ! Please ! ❤️
This show is just perfect on a rainy night while being anxious to the future too
this
Just melancholy
Pure melancholy
I was so hyped up after the episode one, but it's hard to say that I enjoyed watching every episode because no matter how I tried to understand, most of it went over my head. Therefore, I'll definitely rewatch this unique anime. It's totally worth it.
One of the animes that are better rewatched in one sitting. I'm enjoying Monogatari more on each rewatch. I'm willing to bet it's the same on Sonny Boy.
I have watched and understood every episode but Episode 1 definitely was the peak. Anime could have been much better with such great premise
Approach it as a surreal piece of art. Surrealism taps into ones ability to find magic and beauty in the uncanny and the unexpected, the need for logical explanation to everything and conventional think will fall by the way side
I think to best experience sonny boy you have to watch it over multiple sittings, and probably multiple times, but that is completely worth it considering what a masterpiece it is
@@Shivam-vr6eh I cannot disagree more. I think Episode 1 was the weakest, and that it only got better from there. But I also felt that it was a masterpiece in philosophical and surrealist anime that made you think long and hard and accept that there are things in life you wont understand.
Sonny Boy was insane it made me feel so much. I felt like I understood it emotionally more than mentally and damn it was such an amazing show
woah i was not expecting that change of pace toward the end. its incredibly good
it goes so hard, can't wait for this to play in the last episode (I'm imagining it will because i don't think its played yet)
@@fats2010 FINAL EPISODE LETS GOOO
Lessgo
@@fats2010 you’re totally right!
@@fats2010 it was bomb.
This song feels like ,we gonna start new life .
I finally figured it out. This gives off strong Terror in Resonance vibes!
you’re soooo right!!
100%
And there's a reason, the music director of this anime if I'm not wrong is Watanabe, the mind behind terror in Resonance
I thought I'm the only one who think like that!
Indeed, it has a similarly with VON
A true experience watching this, in these times and context. At least, aots, what a jewel!! Also, the entire sequence seems literally composed by Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood, what a ride!
On the other hand, everyone talking about escaping the Drift but nobody mentions how RajdhaniGod traveled for 2000 years, watched how Death was created and became a forest to live with the animals forever😭😭😭😭😭
Rajdhani really was a good guy.
I will miss him.
My 2nd favorite character after Mizuho!
Also nobody mentions those times Mizuho blushes around Rajdhani, best one was when he said he developed "scoop scope" technique that let him look at something and get the romantic scoop. He turns toward Mizuho in the truck and she blushes and hides behind her cat, lolz! Guess she had a thing for him.
Maybe in the real world she'll look up the original Rajdhani.
A film student in my class used this in one of his projects last year and I've been looking for it ever since. Love this :)
J-Post/Math-Rock is one of the perfect choices for this series. Sonny Boy, you're a gem. I so wished that they could had also added Toe's "Goodbye" or "Song Silly" and a little of bit of Hyakkei..
Never have I felt such an emotional rollercoaster from a 12 episode anime before. I will always remember this masterpiece of a gem.
this song is so perfect for the final chapter
Modern classic right here. Tracks already timeless
アニメ久しぶりに見直してここに来た。本当に面白いアニメだった
The OST added so much to the feeling of melancholy in that last episode, toe knocked it out of the park with this one
I dont care what anyone else thinks . this show is a masterpiece for me. very few shows had hit as much as this show did
Who's after last episode? The end was pretty good one of the best anime I have ever seen
This ost is also good
Yes
The most perfect anime ending to an anime that was already so powerful
Аниме я пересмотрел несколько раз, и всегда ощущения после просмотра были разные, но эта музыка до сих пор вызывает те же ощущения безмятежности и спокойствия, как и в первый раз. (Очень рад что уделил время этому тайтлу)🩵
I've rewatched this scene so many times. The mixed bag of emotions and thoughts. There are no words to encompass it all. Probably the best visual audio experience I've had to date.
Thank you Shingo Natsume.
I watched all of Sonny Boy in one night and after hearing this I think this is now my favorite song. The feeling it emits in contrast to the show is just indescribable, I'd love to watch it again for the first time
this shit changes lives man
Cant believe a scene of theme running around a Jackson Pollock Painting would make me cry.
one of the most relaxing osts

Gracias Madhouse por este anime, estuviste desaparecido los últimos dos años pero regresaste y lo hiciste a lo grande, este anime simplemente me parece perfecto. Sin miedo puedo decir que este anime es una Obra Maestra y una vez más Madhouse se reafirma como mi estudio de anime favorito,otra obra maestra que queda añadida al catálogo de animes de Madhouse.
I don’t know what it is, but this single piece of music.. has.. affected me. It’s hard to say how, however It’s one of those “I just know” type of things.
It’s mysterious, sorrowful, yet cozy, lively full of emotions that words can’t describe nor express.
To put it simply. I love it just for existing.
sort of reminds of something good by alt-j from life is strange (which sonny boy also sort of reminds me of)
We all know we are here listening to this song over and over again because Sonny boy made us feel something special and scary inside all at the same time. Even tho we can’t truly put it into one defined phase we all know the feeling is as real as this this world can be.

Easily the best insert song of the 2021. ULTRA BANGER!!!
This song made me completely fall in love with math rock.
Definitely one of my favorite math rock songs too! Also check out the full version of Land of the Lustrous op "kyoumen no nami"
i remember the first time i heard this that exact point was from when a drastic change subsequently occurred in my life....
with time i started to realize the feeling of melancholy left behind this anime ,i was almost depressed but at the same time the last line of this anime when nagara said," Our lives are just beginning. What lies ahead will just take a little bit longer."this inspired me and let me realize we cannot change the past so there's no point in holding onto it, what we are able to do is move ahead and shape our future as much as we want.
this realization is very important to me, always being a shut in and after an incident i was totally down.Animes like this incite my heart enough to move on..... cause what I need is just a little bit of courage and enthusiasm....
It happens to me also. So many months have been pass since the show ended and in retrospective, i just improved so much because finally i just accepted my past and start to moving forward. This show and Megalo Box 2, was what i need in those Hard times. I hope you are doing great and remember "Our lives are just beginning" :)
@@renzosanchez4732 thanks mate for sharing your story too
大好き。最終回の名残惜しいような記憶が駆け巡る
I have been listening to this on loop for like 3 days help me
They played this in the season finally 🙌
So happy to see toe's music as an actual OST always felt they'd fit the vibe whenever I listen their music.
i really loved that most of the moments of this anime had little to no soundtrack really helped set the right atmosphere. And this amazing song wrapped up the ending sequence perfectly. My top anime of 2021 for sure. Praying Shingo Natsume makes more original bombshells like sonny boy in the future
I am so glad Mizuho could retain her memories from the drift, if she couldn't I'd be depressed for days
Acabo de ver el anime en pleno 2024 a mis 18 años y me hizo cambiar mi perspectiva de mi futuro y lo que tengo que afrontar.
Estoy en las mismas aunque con 20 años, este anime me genero sensaciones fuertes y escuchar esta canción en especifico se siente extraño, en fin, suerte!
It's finaly on spotify boys let's f gooooooo
terror in resonance and sonny boy have inde like music which is magical in the emotions they both try to portray 😭😭😭
This show might be the greatest one I've ever watched.
Indeed was such a beautiful ep
чем дальше смотришь, тем все больше плачу
сейм
I’ll try not forget you sonny boy, thanks for the inter-dimensional journey
I cried so much in the ending... Partly because I didn't want the anime to end and because it makes me feel so sad for some reason that I can't explain.
Imagine running through the multiverse listening to this song - racing past different worlds, holding your lover’s hand asking yourself “is any of this real?”
Mizuho isn't Nagara's lover though, but yes
@@aureliano_37 I know but it makes for a more dramatic comment (:
Also I want them to ship back in their new reality
@@ChezLaHaras mizunaga. YES
@@ChezLaHaras same tbh, I like her slightly more than Nozomi.
@@aureliano_37 only slightly? :)
I know I've been saying it up and down and everywhere but this is by far my favorite anime of 2021 and May perhaps even be one of my all-time favorites This band has definitely changed my life and they are currently musicians that I cannot stop listening to everything they've put out is so good I'm so happy this anime brought me to them
This song feels like it's crawling into my most deepest forgotten dreams and letting me experience them again
Beautiful song. Fitting for such a good show!
there are so many emotions in this song
and meaning..
its been a year and EVERY TIME i hear this song, i always miss sonny boy so bad. i don't know how to explain it, but a weird feeling appears when i hear this song. something like melancholy thingy
I literally fight tears every time I listen to this, brings back too many memories...
Sonny Boy was an anime that wasn’t necessarily my favorite anime of this year (it’s Odd Taxi or Ranking of Kings depending on how it ends) but it is the one anime I’ve probably thought of the most. It was definitely a unique viewing experience.
