+.Sh NAME
+.Nm Addendum 2021
+.Nd missed music
+.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+I just realized that I totally forgot
+some important music for me from last year
+in my Albums 2021 post,
+because it wasn't in my playlist.
+Last year I watched
+the Berserk anime from 1997,
+and its soundtrack is incredible.
+.
+.Pp
+Actually the only reason
+I started watching it at all
+was because of the music.
+I was watching the wayneradiotv stream,
+.Do
+Mon repas durant un temps de tristesse;
+un pizza je n'oublierai jamais
+.Dc
+and I was mesmerized by the Guts theme.
+I had to find out what it was from.
+This was also around the time
+that Kentaro Miura died
+so people were really talking about it.
+Anyway just hearing
+that part of the soundtrack
+got me to start watching the anime,
+since you can find it all on youtube.
+.
+.Pp
+The anime in general did not disappoint.
+Actually it's really fucking good,
+and so is the rest of the soundtrack.
+The title sequence and credits tracks
+are so good that I let them play
+every episode even though
+I watched the series over only like 2 days.
+.
+.Pp
+I absolutely love whatever genre this stuff is.
+Is '90s anime intros its own genre?
+Something about combining
+acoustic and electric guitars,
+maybe.
+I'm also fond of
+the poorly written english lyrics.
+They're poetic in a distinctive way.
+I feel the same about
+that Shinsei Kamattechan
+song that was used for the credits of
+Attack on Titan season 2.
+Honestly awesome to write lyrics
+in a second language you haven't mastered.
+.
+.Pp
+So,
+the intro track,
+.Em Tell Me Why .
+First off,
+that sword sound effect
+near the beginning rules.
+Put that in more songs.
+What I really can't get enough of
+on this track are
+the quiet shouty vocals
+a bit off to the left
+during the chorus.
+It's such a cool idea
+to have clean lead vocals
+and shouting in the background.
+.
+.Pp
+And the credits track,
+.Em "Waiting So Long" .
+That first low note is so good.
+This is really a perfect credits song
+for the atmosphere of the show.
+It's creeping.
+The dual vocals
+the whole way through
+are such an interesting texture.
+Both of these tracks
+have really cool vocal sounds.
+And that dirty final guitar chord
+is a great sound to end on.
+.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+These aren't great quality uploads
+but this stuff is sadly hard to find.
