Anime song time!
For the anime otaku around SDnet, what's your favorite vocal/nonvocal track in any anime series? Can be an OP, ED, or a random song that's included in the episode.
For me:
Vocal track: "Link" by L'arc~en~Ciel from FMA: Conqueror of Shambala.
Nonvocal track: "Ensei" (instrumental version) by Yuki Kajiura from My HiME.

Vocal: The acoustic version of "Voices" from Macross Plus, which is also my favourite song period. Simply one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Instrumental: The final song played in The End of Evangelion, "Opening of Dream." It's a short, slow piano piece that has such a sad tone of finality.

Ein, I'd actually consider "Tank!" as an instrumental, because the only real vocals in it are just two lines at the very beginning.

Evangelion: Opening song. (Cruel Angel's Thesis)
Soultaker (Don't know the source).
I also like some more of the songs from the evangelion song soundtracks, namely:
Also, some of the music from the Hellsing ST vol 1/2 ain't half bad if not spectacular, as is the msuic from Gundam seed (Never seen the movie though).
Going to A&M in 3.2.1...

Erm yes, can't imagine how the tag got mixed up (BTW, am I the only one who depsised the RAP/VOX soundtrack album? The names were great [Thanatos], but the songs sucked hard)The full title of that song is "Don't Make Others Suffer For Your Own Personal Hatred."

I take it you're not familiar with the popular usage of the word back in Japan then? This little bit of history might change your mind regarding the word. As it typically has a major negative connotation in Japan.Davis 51 wrote:Why is that dumb? I've recieved that label and I am proud of it.Eh, who wants to label themselves otaku? That's rather dumb.
The "otaku panic", as described by Sharon Kinsella, didn't really occur until after the infamous Tsutomu Miyazaki incident in 1989. Miyazaki (who was 26, and in no way to be confused with legendary anime director Hayao Miyazaki) kidnapped and murdered 4 little girls. When he was arrested, the police found a huge collection of various anime and manga, some of it pornographic, in his apartment.
The media picked up on this and repeatedly referred to Miyazaki as an otaku, thereby exposing the term to the public at large. As such, "otaku" became associated with sociopaths like Miyazaki, and in the panic, many in the media tried to blame Miyazaki's deviant behavior on anime and manga (which is not dissimilar to the American media blaming violent video games and movies for the tragedy at Columbine).

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia
