Alfred Schnittke in particular was brought to mind.
Can you mention any specific scores?
I'm not familiar with Schnittke and I'd like to study scores that are similar in style..

I wish I had time to read through this thread, but since I don't I'll just chime in that some of my favorites do include Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Inuyasha, and Death Note - so not exactly breaking new ground here. Also really love the scores for Mob Psycho 100, which is a favorite anime as well.
Lately I have been spending a lot of time with Hiroshi Miyagawa's score for Space Battleship Yamato - especially the first series. I got into it in the first place b/c of 2199, the revision of the original 1974 series, which wonderfully re-used his music as arranged by his son.
Then I found I could watch the whole first series in Japanese with subtitles on youtube - I'm about 3/4 of the way through, and though there are many improvements in the revision, the original is more impressive than I expected. (As well as being sometimes quite serious and other times quite ridiculous, as anime was finding its way.)
This music just kicks! I didn't think I could take all the 70's-isms any more, but in fact I'm digging them. Especially since so many of the "Sound Almanac" albums cataloging the whole long history of the Yamato golden years are available for $10 an album on iTunes. Especially love the symphonic suite arrangements, but just downloaded the first BGM album, and it plays pretty dang well.
And I know I should be calling this Star Blazers (heck that's what 2199 is called on Funimation), but since I never encountered the English versions and I'm keeping to only the Japanese versions, it's all Yamato to me!
