    I cant get enough of those chirpy, squeeky, speed-metal, trip-hop anime theme songs and I was wandering if there is a certain favourite I dont know about

    my faves at the moment are the Outlaw Star Intro (find it here www.toonamiarsenal.com), Cowoy Bebop: The Motion Picture, the new dominion tank police intro,Tenjo Tenge and the R.O.D theme .Im fairly sure they would be pretty popular with the public if released (in english?)

    Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Haruka Kanata, Naruto Season 2 Op is my favourite. One of my favourite songs anyway regardless of Naruto.

    Both Bleach openings, but I prefer Orange Range to Uverworld.
    FLCL ending, Ride on Shooting Star by the pillows.
    Berserk opening, Penpals.
    Cowboy Bebop opening, Tank.
    The Asian Kung-Fu Generation one from FMA, Rewrite or Loop & Loop can't remember which it is.

    And more that I can't be arsed listing.

    The ending from School Rumble, 'Onna no Ko Otoko no Ko' by Ogura Yuko.

    Asian Kung Fu Generation are just a deadly band, shame their english speaking songs suck. There's an english fansite if anyones interested. http://www.akfgfan.com/
    Anyway, ''Haruka Kanata'' and that one ''Fighting Dreamers'' I think it's called, pretty damn catchy, Naruto can do no wrong. The ending of the first series with ''Wind'' by Akeboshi is cool as well. And that ending by Orange Range where all the characters are 'chibi' and marching (especialy cos after the chunnin exams Lee has bandages on!)
    (Actualy I think I love all the Naruto tunes)

    ''Bomb-a-Head'' from Tenjou Tenge
    The Evangelion tune isn't as punk-ish but I like it.
    The first ending to Full Metal Alchemist.
    A little forgotten gem is the old DBZ intro ''Rock the Dragon''

    I love the Orange Range opening to bleach, i'm not really that fond of the newer one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Art_Wolf


    Soo many -_-;

    I'm currently going through Naruto and noticing the opening and endsing. Some are really nice but around ep ~70 or so the ending song.. it HURTS its soo damn bad >_<

    *presses n rapidly*

    I liked the J-pop in Gundam Seed, but in Seed Destiny, they've started to become hyper/sugarsweet ¬_¬ J-pop & J-"rap" just don't mix...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,419 ✭✭✭nadir


    yeah, Asian Kung Fun Generation are great ok.
    I'd love to see them live, on the topic, as Mak says their intro to the last part of FMA, is awesome.

    Always liked to music in Eva and Wolf's Rain, but the best for me is Nadesico...so god damn catchy!

    my favorite was Full Metal Alchemist's final intro with the song "Rewrite" by Azn kung foo generation.

    To all the Asian Kung-Fu Generation fans, you should really get Sol-Fa if you haven't got it already. Excellent album, not a bad song on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 259 ✭✭Lantis


    Hmm, currently:

    Shocking Lemon - Inner Light (Hajime no Ippo OP2)
    UVERworld - D-tecnoLife (Bleach OP2)
    Analogfish - Speed (Naruto ED10)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,809 ✭✭✭CerebralCortex


    The beginning of Trigun is one of my favourite themes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 246 ✭✭Shinji Ikari


    Cruel angels thesis from Evangelion, but theres some great music in that series particulary in the end of evangrlion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5


    Both sets of openings and endings for Death Note by Nightmare and Maximum the Hormone respectively.

    The ending credits for CLANNAD always make me :'(

    Oh and the opening credits for both seasons of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are awesome.

    Fanclub is a great album, though not really as heavy as some of their stuff... I always seem to go straight for that when looking for some background music.

    Haruka Kanata is an obvious one
    ASTRISK from the first season of Bleach is spot on
    Shounen heart from Eureka 7 is pretty damn good as well

    Totally owns all 'o you n00bs
