      @Han Solo if you loved SAO and naruto.. you would be shock to find out theres much more better anime out there.. if you are a sci-fi fan try code geass.. it will blow your mind... try bypass the character design that most would be turn off but not really a problem

      @Han Solo a scifi man should watch scifi anime.. fullmetal is a ln awesome anime but really try code geass... you wont regret it... best plot best characters and most of all best ending any anime can give... there are 2 season with 24 episode each and 4 movies.. the movies are an alternate story line with deferent ending and dont confuse code geass to the akito code geass.. if ypu bench watch code geass you will find yourself bench watch it in one go.. every episode would leave you wanna watch the next immediately until you finish the whole series.. recommend watch the tv series over the movie series.. tv series ending is much better than the movie one but you could watch them both

    アニメそのものの評価は分かれるかもしれないけれど、せめて素晴らしいOPとED曲(そしてゴージャスなサウンドトラック)があることはみんな同意できると思う。今まで「シルシ」「Swordland」そしてこの代表曲「Crossing Field」をアレンジしてきました。そして将来このSAOピアノアレンジリストがもっと追加されるかもしれないです (´・ω・`)
    The opinions might be divided for SAO as an Anime but we can at least all agree it has fantastic OP and ED songs (and a gorgeous Soundtrack). As of now I have arranged Shirushi, Swordland and now the iconic Crossing Field from Sword Art Online. The arrangement list might get longer in the future. (´・ω・`)

    People who hate SAO or those who still love SAO, we all can at least gather here and appreciate the song. Like it or not this song is such a nice thing everyone can relate to, because both sides of SAO which basically splits the anime community to be honest, can agree with the nostalgia this brings everyone.

    I've watched a lot of Animenz' compositions. Maybe too many, but not once have I commented on a video. So that would make this my first time commenting on his video. Every piece that Animenz' makes just keep getting better and better. I mean, it has always been good but seeing his progression just makes me put a smile on my face.
    I've understood his purpose in making is sheets, and it's not just for views, I realized that he didn't care about a big audience, and that he was fine with his core viewers. And, knowing that I've come this far with his pieces, I'm proud to be one of those loyal to his videos.
    And of course, once again, Animenz, you have yet to disappoint me with this composition. I'd like to thank you for inspiring me to try and play the piano. One of my goals is to strive hard in order to reach your level of playing. Pardon me for not knowing a lot of musical terms, I cannot really criticize on this piece. But just from hearing it, I can say, right from the heart, that this piece is indeed spectacular.
    I will continue to wait for your next piece again and again, keep on doing well Animenz. You have my full support.

He told us we had to clear his song to beat the game. Once we finish all the notes and complete the video, we can log out and clear the recital world. But I don't ever want to leave now 😭 the arrangement is so beautiful I couldn't leave if I wanted. Take my like and infinite replay button.

    You know, I’ve learned a few of your covers like Kizuna Music and Zen Zen Zense. With each one i learn I’d like to say I become a better musician. I’m currently learning your version of History Maker and that’s already teaching me so much stuff. So when this drops, i said to myself “oh cool, I love Crossing Fields, I wonder how it is” as I would maybe want to learn it.
    But at 2:06, I don’t even know what’s happening with your left hand. I don’t know how you’re doing those that fast, but dude, you’re amazing. This whole cover is on a whole other level in terms of technicality and it’s amazing. Really making it hard on us players who can’t play tenths, but it’s cool, I’ll just Gliss it, no big deal. Keep up the amazing work and I’m so glad you’re uploading more frequently
    Edit: oh and also thank you for helping me grow as a musician. I remember when I first started playing piano, being the naive kid I was, I tried to learn your newly released No Game No Life cover. I got through the opening section which was like 30 seconds, and quit. Even with that, I fell in love with playing the piano because of all of the cool covers you did. So I took some lessons, and years later I’m now here, still watching you and still being amazed by your covers. And like I said, I’m even able to play some of your pieces now which I thought would never be possible. So thank you, for allowing me to fall in love with playing the piano and for your covers which teach me so much

    our Animenz keeps slashing through iconic pieces week after week as the overpowered main character of this anime music world. and we're just the Kleins hopping along for the ride.
    This is the kind of good stuff i wanna inject into my veins* (pls no disinfectant)
    Arrangement thoughts:
    Man, this one had me feeling a certain kind of way. There was a certain energy that i hadn't felt in a while that resonated through the fast tempo and rolling scale runs the entire piece. I loved the overarching second melody that rang like bell tones over the first chorus. The insanely fast left hand in the second chorus (2:04) gave me instant chills (for real). The second half of the final chorus (3:37) had one of my favorite patterns - both to listen to and play - descending arpeggios in through the melody line. One thing that I always enjoy hearing is the use of triplet rhythms in the main melody line, especially if it's a change-up from the original rhythm (e.g. 3:44). Lastly, I've gotten used to expecting a grand final chorus entrance and extravagant closing statement. This one has been my one of my favorite ones so far by far.
    Honestly, I don''t have much else to say this time around. This one really hit on a lot of things I love in a grand and energetic piano arrangement and I just want to sit back and enjoy it. This week has also been a long and sort of rough one for me personally - this was the perfect way to end the week and give me an uplifting mood heading into the weekend. Thank you for sharing! :)

    Animenz, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but it's just something I wanted to get off my chest.
    I have been following your channel for almost 7 years now. Back in middle school, I used to fantasize all the time about learning one of your pieces perfectly and playing it in front of the school and how awesome I'd look. And when I'd grown to hate piano because of all the times I was forced to play the same piece over and over, practicing playing your cover of oath sign (the only piece I could even attempt) after school is why I never gave up piano. Unravel, Everyday World. the Nagi no Asukara medley - so many of your covers I believe completely transcended the title of "anime cover" and are just full blown works of art.
    I'm writing all this because while I'm ecstatic that you've started posting again so regularly, since the tanjiro no uta, I feel like your covers have lost some of the ambition that I admired so much in the past. I really don't know how to describe it, and that frustrates me. I've really hesitated to write this for a bit because I know how much you strive for perfection and how frustrated you get when you feel like you're off from it. But I think that you striving for your ideal of perfection is what makes you Animenz. Either way, I'll always be waiting to watch your next video - I just want you know that I don't care whether that's next week or next year.

    One of your most technically advanced arrangements since a while and, not gonna lie, probably my favorite with the Mahoutsukai no Yume OP and Violet Evergarden ED arrangements. Aside from their overall balance and harmonic accuracy, I always enjoyed the impressively technical aspect of most of your arrangements, so I must say I've been pretty much pleased here haha! I also wasn't expecting the variation for the 2nd chorus with that amazing LH pattern. Once again, a surprisingly great job for an arrangement written and prepared in only 1 week. Your regularity since your comeback is quite something!

This just sounds like the original OP 1 to 1 on a piano, it's very well made. respect. Animenz, I you have so much great talent and a huge fanbase that I think it's a shame that you have no:
    -official discord server (where you could talk to fans, a txt channel for new video releases, where people can exchange anime-memes, talk, play piano maybe)
    -a pateron where people can financially support you
    -a website where one can buy merch (I'm especially interested in buying your sheet book volumes)
    -a twitch or other live stream platform (to play piece requests by chat, maybe lecture some music theory, and just generally have fun & chill)

I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
