The Beginner's Guide to Arranging ANY Anime (and Pop) Song for Piano 

So you want to start arranging your favorite anime OPs and EDs (or really any song) for the piano. Maybe you were inspired by Animenz or Halcyon, but you have no idea where to start.
Don't worry, I gotchu.
This isn't a complete guide on arranging. I'm leaving out most of the "advanced" stuff like adding runs and embellishments, but this is the foundation for developing into those things with arranging. I'm assuming that you're starting from scratch - this might be your first or second time ever arranging and I want to give you a framework on how to start.
Cuz let's face it, I was looking for this video when I first began and I couldn't find it, so I hope it'll be helpful for you even if it just makes the whole process seem less scary or daunting.
If you end up writing and recording any arrangements, I'd love to hear them! Feel free to send them to me in my discord :)
Note: I messed up the accidentals in the last measure of some of my examples, I'm pretty sure I play the right version but the score might be slightly different.
