I had hoped for Oshima to return for this series, as I imagine everybody did however when I heard that she wouldn't be (and that Senju would be replacing her) it suddenly made a lot of sense to me. I haven't seen either series (and don't intend to) therefore I can't comment on how well I find the music to compliment the story - I can judge it only on musical terms. As a fan both of Michiru Oshima and of Akira Senju (both superb, immensely talented musicians) I can say that, although stylistically they are chalk and cheese, I find Senju's music to be the equal of Oshima's in terms of quality. It's sad to hear some people aren't enjoying it quite as much. (He said, hopefully!)Īs far as the music goes, well, I think it's superlative. (And sufficient interest, too - at CDJapan, the first pressing is already almost sold out - seven copies remaining - so as long as people are buying it and there is music to release, there will be more. If FMA Brotherhood is going to run for 51 episodes as FMA did, combined with the massive budget and prestige of the composer, there's almost certainly going to be enough music to sustain a third soundtrack release. At this stage, I think a second soundtrack is a foregone conclusion, and I wouldn't bet against a third either.
