Naruto’s OSTs are considered mesmerizing works of art for good reason, because it is almost impossible to envision the anime’s most dramatic moments without the fitting music that accompanies them and makes viewers feel as if they are in these scenes themselves. Reading manga is a fantastic experience, but anime often takes these stories to the next level by pairing already amazing scenes with unforgettable musical scores. Symphony experiences have been so popular lately, with seemingly every film receiving one, so it was about time for an anime series to join the list of movies and shows that have been performed by a live orchestra.
