It has been a while since I have fell in love with a single episode in an anime series but episode 22 of Eighty Six absolutely deserves all the praise it gets. Thank you for listening to my special piano version of Avid!
Another anime in the record books, with the novels being just as good. It has been quite a while since a series had conveyed that much emotional impact, resonance and purity in just a span of a few episodes. The Grim reaper has finally reunited with his Bloodstain Queen, while Bloody Reina has finally seen face to face her Prince Charming. The catharsis of their reunion is beyond words, with the soundtracks, facial expressions being perfect. You can really tell Animenz was feeling the music with this piece and thanks for covering it! Well done to A1 pictures, Toshimasa Ishii, and all the other voice actors for procuring another masterpiece. To be expected of the studio that made us cry in your lie in april and anohana. Hopefully there will be at least an announcement of season 2 and release of volume 10 soon. Definitely will be listening to this and LilaS over and over again. The capital L representing Lena and S representing Shin. Two people from completely different backgrounds yet are also so perfect for one another.
>The catharsis of their reunion is beyond words, with the soundtracks, facial expressions being perfect Very nicely said! That's exactly what I felt when I was watching episode 22.
"The Grim reaper has finally reunited with his Bloodstain queen, while Bloody Reina has finally seen face to face her Prince Charming" Excellent choice of word play and use of epithets for the both of them. Really helped refreshed my mind on how both names had royal status befitting them, while also having the dark backstory associated with one another. Really is therapeutic that they are finally with one another and hopefully live happily ever after.
Maybe the episode itself will be in the record books but I don't think the show itself was anything special in any aspects other than concept. Though it might become super popular down the line for having a great ending like how code Geass managed to do it (*cough cough* even tho the ending was the most predictable and mediocre shit ever)
Amazing cover! I totally agree that ep 22 was just beautiful. I personally believe it is the most cinematically original and creative episode of anime i've ever seen (and that's saying a lot, considering i've watched over 600 anime in my lifetime) Fyi, the song in the episode during the emotional climax isn't an orchestral version of Avid, but an OST called Voices of the Chord. Technically speaking, i guess it is an orchestral Avid with english vocals, but Sawano had it in the OST from the beginning. Voices of the Chord was first heard in the recap episode of 86 part 1 (at the very end, where Lena heads to the dorm and discovers the messages left behind with the picture.) I personally prefer Voices of the Chord much more, as it's more orchestral and has a deeper sound to it. Edit: for those wondering why i'm suddently talking about this 'orchestral avid', go read the description. Animenz only knew the song as such, so i'm just trying to let him know the title of the soundtrack he tried to cover. Edit 2: Animenz changed the description now, so you don't have to pay attention to this comment anymore haha Edit 3: Just wanted to share a fun fact to people: Did you know that Lena's nickname "Bloody Regina" is just her first name (Vladilena) but with an extra syllable? If you pronounce her name the Japanese way, it goes: Bla-di-re-na. Bloody Regina the Japanese pronunciation is: Bla-di Re-gi-na. I was mindblown when i first realized this hahahaha
"Bloody Regina" is actually a translation/localization quirk. You can hear in the Japanese dub that she's actually called "Bloody Reina" which is much closer to "Vladilena". Why did they change from Reina to Regina? Who knows. There's very little difference between the two words: reina is Spanish for "queen" while regina is Latin for "queen" although according to Oxford it is also a legit English (UK) word to refer to the reigning queen that it is used specifically in lawsuit titles for some reason. I really don't get why they bothered translating it. My guess is that the localization team didn't like that "Reina" was Spanish 🤷♂️ By the way, the word "reign" itself is also derived from the same roots as regina/reina.
@@w3yr I actually think you got that wrong, cuz i just went and checked Episode 16 (Part 2 ep 5), and around the 21:02 mark, Lena does audibly say "Bla-di Re-GI-na" I don't know where you got the Reina info from, but it seems that Regina is actually the official Japanese word they use Edit: so yeah, the english localisation team had nothing against Spanish. They just went with the word the japanese original uses xD Edit 2: Idk if you got confused, but Lena's full name is Vladilena Milize. But after the events of Part 1, she got herself a nickname like the 86 soldiers (for example 'Undertaker' or 'Laughing Fox') and called herself "Bloody Regina", which is a pun with her real first name but with an extra syllable
@@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904 ? not a clue as to what your point is because it contradicts itself. "not really" "fans of the light novel are rabid in praising the anime" "lives up or surpasses the hype" kinda contradictory. I can't tell if you're trying to say it's good or not.
I think the slow orchestra version in ep 22 is the "voice of the chord". Anyways, looks like we got Avid x Voice of the chord feels in this arrangement
this song by itself is incredible but played by your hands it is something indescribable, i could feel all tue emotion it brings while playing in the anime. You are the best!!! and always it will be
@@warren4867Honestly I think there is no need for s3. The ending was so great and promising now where shin has found its reason to live for i don’t really need a s3 since I’m 100% satisfied. Of course I get what you mean, I also want to see more of them together now where they finally met, but the journey itself is the destination, and now it’s up to ourselves to decide how the story continues
So hype for this arrangement. I was waiting for this everyday since I first heard this song in 86. It will be so great if there are “Voice of the Chord” and “LilaS” next
at 4:07, my friend who have not watched 86, asked me "this song from that firework movie?". they have like completely different beats and tempo but the flow, and he have yet to watch a single episode of 86, and firework is the first thing comes to his mind. amazing
Animenz, I want to be real with you. There are a few anipiano videos that brought me to tears. The first one was back in 2015, when I was watching your Key Piano medley while reading the comments and in particular, a story about one mother having lost her first child from birth accidents and having her newest baby inside her listen to your medley. The second was a sad Naruto piano medley a youtuber (Majd piano) did in tribute for his friend, who died drowning while trying to save his son. Third, your Heavens Feel medley and a tribute to your grandfather. We've talked about it at length. And with this, I cry yet again but for a different reason. Not out of sadness this time but so much that you've brought to life the motif exploration so exquisitely that for someone like me who hasn't even seen the anime yet, but heard of it and know of its symbolisms and premises (and I'm addicted to the song), I've already shed tears just imagining how masterful the craft of the anime is as well as how you majestically you brought each attention to detail to life. This single piano video is the best example of a rollercoaster representation on how a song captures an anime for me. Thanks for being the best, for 9 years of my life and running.
There are so many cringes in a single comment, like I don't even know where to begin. You wanna talk about how your wife boyfriend took her out for dinner on valentines day because you're too busy crying and being in tears, And then you cry again because you realize her boyfriend is a nice guy after all, looking after your wife on your behalf?
One year later and I still keep coming back to this piece by you. This is such a masterpiece. 86 is one of my favorite animes ever. And I'm hoping one day we'll get a version of Lilas by you.
Initially I thought the final chorus would be classic Animenz runs everywhere, but that key modulation was something I didn't expect, whew! Didn't expect melodic Animenz this arrangement, but it's also a lot better than I expected!
I was actually planning to put fast arpeggios for the third chorus in 4:36, but after test playing for a while, I realized the slower left hand patterns are more suitable for a ballad-type song like Avid. Sometimes, it's a good thing to defy the expectations of my listeners!
Avid and Voices of the Chord are such brilliant songs, their lyrics brings so much feelings. Never in my life have I heard such an emtional and beautiful songs like them. And as always Animenz nailed it, the cover not only touch our hearts but it also changed our soul. Hiroyuki Sawano would be very proud if he see this, absolutely amazing.☺💕💯 . . . . Btw, STEP ON ME, MY BLOODY QUEEN
It's amazing how 4:09 captured the feeling of the key moment in episode 22 so well! I love these more melodic and simple arrangements because they're such a pleasure to play.
Seriously was the best part. I hope Animenz or someone else can do a piano cover of Hear My Voice next. One of the best songs on the OST and somehow their aren't any covers yet!
Fun fact, (also spoiler warning) something a lot of people will miss simply because they don't understand Japanese is that they actually timed the lyrics of: "ima, aeta sora de kimi ga warratteita mune ga sakebidashitan da mabuta kara afureta ima, aeta sora de iki ga todoku kyori de kotoba sakebanakatta me to me mitsumekaeshita" which translates to "Right now, meeting under the sky You were smiling My heart started crying out My eyelids started overflowing Right now, meeting under the sky Within the reach of a beach I didn't cry out a single word Our eyes gazed back at each other" with Vladilena when she starts crying during the ending scene
It’s been so long since i’ve felt so emotionally attached to a certain anime, and 86 did it flawlessly. I’m so invested that every time i hear any song related to it, it made me feel mixed emotions. Mixed of happiness and sadness.
The landscape suddenly changes from a blue sea of insects into a beautiful red flowerbed --> 10/10 Transition / key change between 3:38 - 4:36 --> 10/10 (truly breathtaking) Pedalling between 5:05 - 5:10 --> 10/10 Thank you so much for this arrangement. What an experience it was... #EmotionOverflow
I watched Eighty Six after listening to this piece because I was wondering what's up, and I must say, HOLY CRAP is it so good! I now understand why this arrangement is directly inspired by episode 22. I am excited (and scared because it's probably going to make me cry) to learn this piece, but I have to finish learning your Kaibutsu arrangement first. It feels like working for my candy lol.
You nailed "that moment" I don't know what else to say I'm just in awe at how that key change and those added fourths made me feel the exact same way as in episode 22. I agree that everything just fit together in episode 22, and I think your arrangement did the same. Everything just perfectly fits together. The structure, the holding back of the choruses to let the innovative key change absolutely shine through the piece in the same way that Lena shined right through shin's descent into madness in his moment of despair. This is going to be one of those arrangements that stays as one of my favorites for a very long time. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful, thank you for this performance! I remember waiting the last episode of this anime for so long, but that was worth the time, all the musics, the plans were so meaningful and this last song were just the cherry on top to close this 22 episodes masterpiece.
I fell in love with this song since it first appeared in the trailer for the anime and it’s fucking awesome to finally hear it played by you on piano, another awesome arrangement animenz !!
Thank you so much animenz for covering this song into such a beautiful artistic piece!! This song means so much to me and you being my favourite pianist is like everything joining together.. Hope to see you hit 2M SOON Cheers!
Everytime Animenz plays, it's like he is singing the song through his playing. The feelings are all in his piano and you can hear, even feel it. Amazing
Thank you so much for uploading avid you never disappoint your viewers, in the contrary you play community's favourite songs and just so well it gives goosebumps. This was like rewathing the end of 86 s1, you are amazing!
Oh my goodness, you've done it again. This arrangement made me feel everything I felt in episode 22 and in the series as a whole: chills, sadness, and an appreciation for the precious, tainted beauty of 86. This song brought tears to my eyes, thank you so much for arranging it. Can't wait for the sheet music to become available!
To hear you cover this in such a full, cinematic way... it took me right back to that field of red spider lilies. What a gift this is! I'll be listening to it over & over as I wait hopefully for another season. Thank you, Animenz!! 🙏
The best scene from Eighty Six beautifully composed into this masterpiece. I can't help but feel the shivers on the "miracle on the flower field" piece. Great job 👌
I love the caption sir! It made me appreciate how much passion was put into this arrangement. 86's episode 22 was just full of emotion and was beautifully portrayed in this piece ❤️
You did it again, conveying the meaning of the scenery through your music and evoking the emotions of the MC through your notes . The red spiders often represent death in many anime but this is the first where it represented “life” . I guess through the many deaths of his comrades can he fully appreciate the meaning of life . Thus the flowers have a new meaning for Shinei . It’s a beautiful anime
What a master piece and you just lifted to next level. When listening to your performance, the memories of 86 just running through my mind. No doubt that 86 is the best anime in recent. Avid and Voices of the Chord only played in the climaxes of 86. Whenever it rings, I know emotional scenes are coming (tissue always prepared)
Definitely going to be playing this one for a while!. I can tell that you put your all into it while playing this. I am currently in final exam period as is extremely stressful as I struggle to concentrate while studying but your arrangements are getting me through it, I'm almost always listening to them. You inspire me to become a better musician and make be believe that at some point myself, I can break the norms of my music school and popularise anime music. Thank you Animenz.
We are really spoiled by this talent in the anime world, thank you Animenz, I don’t find the bass loud anymore, I can hear every note of your emotion, thank you :)
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CRIED WHILE LISTENING WITH MY EYES CLOSED 😭😭 And now watching it. Such a beautiful cover! Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorites. I've been waiting for so long for you to cover this so thank you 🙏🏼 My heart is so happy. YOU ARE AMAZING ❤
This is easily the most impressive adaptation of a Sawano Hiroyuki song I've ever seen, the amount of detail that went into each part and all the changes you made were absolutely perfect
Ah this is such a gorgeous piece.... rediscovering your music has been a joy. Wish you were getting more of the popularity you deserve. You are amazing on the keys.
Just finished binging the show, I can't believe I didn't hear more about it earlier but it's become an instant favorite for me. Glad to see it getting more attention;
It has been a while since I have fell in love with a single episode in an anime series but episode 22 of Eighty Six absolutely deserves all the praise it gets. Thank you for listening to my special piano version of Avid!

ima, aeta sora de
iki ga todoku kyori de
kotoba sakebanakatta

"Right now, meeting under the sky
You were smiling
My heart started crying out
My eyelids started overflowing
Right now, meeting under the sky
Within the reach of a beach
I didn't cry out a single word
Our eyes gazed back at each other" with Vladilena when she starts crying during the ending scene
damn thats deep

The structure, the holding back of the choruses to let the innovative key change absolutely shine through the piece in the same way that Lena shined right through shin's descent into madness in his moment of despair.
This is going to be one of those arrangements that stays as one of my favorites for a very long time.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful, thank you for this performance!
I remember waiting the last episode of this anime for so long, but that was worth the time, all the musics, the plans were so meaningful and this last song were just the cherry on top to close this 22 episodes masterpiece.
AVID is honestly my favorite ed of all time and it's so incredibly to finally see you do a cover of it!
I fell in love with this song since it first appeared in the trailer for the anime and it’s fucking awesome to finally hear it played by you on piano, another awesome arrangement animenz !!
Thank you so much animenz for covering this song into such a beautiful artistic piece!! This song means so much to me and you being my favourite pianist is like everything joining together..
Hope to see you hit 2M SOON Cheers!

I'm loving this arrangement, thank you so much for covering this song!
I’m so glad you did an eighty six song I was hoping you’d eventually do one. This series is amazing
This song is unbelievably beautiful.
Everytime Animenz plays, it's like he is singing the song through his playing. The feelings are all in his piano and you can hear, even feel it. Amazing
Thank you so much for uploading avid you never disappoint your viewers, in the contrary you play community's favourite songs and just so well it gives goosebumps. This was like rewathing the end of 86 s1, you are amazing!
Love that this arrangement was made for such a great episode. Captures the spirit wonderfully
86 is such an underrate anime, and you did it so much justice by covering it in the best way possible. thank you animenz.

全然ピアノとか音楽とか分からないんですが、アレンジ以前に、音を聞いただけではっきり上手いって感じられるくらいすごくてびっくりしました。
Oh my goodness, you've done it again. This arrangement made me feel everything I felt in episode 22 and in the series as a whole: chills, sadness, and an appreciation for the precious, tainted beauty of 86. This song brought tears to my eyes, thank you so much for arranging it.
Can't wait for the sheet music to become available!
To hear you cover this in such a full, cinematic way... it took me right back to that field of red spider lilies. What a gift this is! I'll be listening to it over & over as I wait hopefully for another season. Thank you, Animenz!! 🙏
Your covers are definitely the best in terms of emotions !!
I'm also glad 86 Eighty Six is getting love it really deserves
Sawano sir has really created a masterpiece "avid".
Whenever this song starts to play,i get goosebumps.
I love this song, I’m really hyped for this arrangement.
Favorite song, favorite arrangement. This arrangement has definitely brought the original song to a new level. Love it so much.
Avid is a song that really touches deep, Hiroyuki Sawano is simply amazing and I’m glad you did this piece justice
I've been wanting to hear you play this since the show came out. Thank you for covering one of my favourite songs. You are amazing
I’m loving all the different piano arrangements for this beautiful song.
The best scene from Eighty Six beautifully composed into this masterpiece. I can't help but feel the shivers on the "miracle on the flower field" piece. Great job 👌
i cannot express what i feel listening to this masterpiece arrangement with you skillset. Amazing Animenz!! I love 86! Glory to the Spearhead Squadron
I can’t even begin to explain the joy that I experienced when I saw this appear on my home page! Another amazing cover Animenz! Thank you thank you!
Everytime I listen to this amazing piece, I feel like time stops.
I've waited for this music since i watched 86 and it was a long time , thank you so much , you don't let me down 🥰
Thank you for making my day with this cover. Absolutely brings me to tears. I have a soft heart for 86's story.
At last, been waiting for this piece! Thank you Animenz!
So beautiful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this - your piano arrangements are wonderful and always inspiring!!!
I have been waiting for Animenz arrangement on Avid since the song was released, and finally😭😭Love it and thank you so much
This is one of my favorite. Thank you for covering this animenzzz ❤
This sounds soo good!!! This has probably gotta be one of the best episode in any show just with the soundtrack alone :)
Oh my gosh.. 😭💖 I love this song. I love all of Hiroyuki Sawano's music, so it makes me especially happy when you cover it. 💖
Awwww.....it is just so beautiful!😭😭
Your arrangement has been always with elegant and nostalgic atmosphere that we can't help keep listening .
I genuinely love the sound of your piano and the way you play it, it single handedly makes me want to learn piano. Keep up the amazing work.
I love the caption sir! It made me appreciate how much passion was put into this arrangement. 86's episode 22 was just full of emotion and was beautifully portrayed in this piece ❤️
it's as beautiful as it gets. Thank you for covering this beautiful OST of a wonderful series.
You did it again, conveying the meaning of the scenery through your music and evoking the emotions of the MC through your notes . The red spiders often represent death in many anime but this is the first where it represented “life” . I guess through the many deaths of his comrades can he fully appreciate the meaning of life . Thus the flowers have a new meaning for Shinei . It’s a beautiful anime
this might be the most beautiful song you've played (to my ears), it is so soft and melodic I love it
I have waited for an Animenz arrangement of Avid for quite some time! Finally it's here!
I cried listening to this masterpiece. Thank you so much for doing this ! You’re so talented ❤️
What a master piece and you just lifted to next level. When listening to your performance, the memories of 86 just running through my mind.
No doubt that 86 is the best anime in recent.
Avid and Voices of the Chord only played in the climaxes of 86. Whenever it rings, I know emotional scenes are coming (tissue always prepared)
Definitely going to be playing this one for a while!. I can tell that you put your all into it while playing this. I am currently in final exam period as is extremely stressful as I struggle to concentrate while studying but your arrangements are getting me through it, I'm almost always listening to them. You inspire me to become a better musician and make be believe that at some point myself, I can break the norms of my music school and popularise anime music. Thank you Animenz.
We are really spoiled by this talent in the anime world, thank you Animenz, I don’t find the bass loud anymore, I can hear every note of your emotion, thank you :)
I have over 10 variations of this song, but you've made me fall in love with it all over again. Thank you 🥺
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CRIED WHILE LISTENING WITH MY EYES CLOSED 😭😭 And now watching it. Such a beautiful cover! Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorites. I've been waiting for so long for you to cover this so thank you 🙏🏼 My heart is so happy. YOU ARE AMAZING ❤
Just awesome, the dynamic control, the clean runs... Damn
This is easily the most impressive adaptation of a Sawano Hiroyuki song I've ever seen, the amount of detail that went into each part and all the changes you made were absolutely perfect
Because of your piano arrangement, I went and watched this anime and I am glad that I watched it. Thanks animenz
Listening to avid again, I can't stop crying. Thank you for the great performance.
Ah this is such a gorgeous piece.... rediscovering your music has been a joy. Wish you were getting more of the popularity you deserve. You are amazing on the keys.
So well the arrangement is that it recalls me that scene in episode 22 of 86 again.
Avid makes me cry😭😭😭
Really, just listening to this amazing arrangement makes my day so much better.
Just finished binging the show, I can't believe I didn't hear more about it earlier but it's become an instant favorite for me. Glad to see it getting more attention;
Beautiful!! So in love with this song the first time i heard it. So glad animenz made an arrangement of it:) A大最強！
