For both vocal and nonvocal the FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Haibane Renmai OSTs are great.

I don't watch much anime and I buy even less soundtracks but from the little I've seen, I found the opening song from Elfen Lied very good. Lilium, it's apparently called. Very nice.

I'd add another Bebop track: "Ease my mind"(?) (the one played during Faye's re-discovery of her home)

That's "Call Me Call Me", Tev, and it's extremely bittersweet.

Yes that's it. And I like it because it's so lonely and bittersweet.

Just as an FYI, the name of the Hellsing OP is Logos Naki World.

General Z:

Interesting. Never heard that story before, though I know how it is used in Japan (as a derogatory comment), but if someone thinks of me that way, and sees me like that, then they can go to hell for all I care. (Most of my friends are Otaku anyway, and I make it a point to inform my other friends.)

Scary, how it is only a matter of time before something like that happens in America.

Back on topic, I also like the ED from FLCL (Ride on Shooting Star.)

Yeah, I definitely agree with you there.

I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were young
But I had to go

Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Got to get to you
But I don't know how

Call me, call me

Cheers All,

Far too many to count but I suppose the top ones are

Vocal:

Cowboy Bebop - Tank!, but as Spanky noted, the only lines are at the beginning so I'll go for "Green Bird" in Ballad of Fallen Angels. The "Una Puma" (?) dance song from Dominion Tank Police was cute (have to have the visuals to go with it though).

Non-Vocal:
Cowboy Bebop - UNK accompanyment to Jupiter Jazz (2) episode. I also enjoyed Big O's first season stuff too. The soundtrack to Robot Carnival was pretty good, mostly instrumental that went with each vigenette.

DarkSilver · Post by **DarkSilver** » 2006-01-12 11:18pm

The Cowbow Bebop Theme (never can remember what it's called)
Melfina's Song (Outlaw Star)

Fake Wings / Broken Wings - .hack// one is a vocal, one is instrumental, I like them both.

BloodAngel · Post by **BloodAngel** » 2006-01-12 11:40pm

Three new ones to add to my list:

Vocal: "Rise" by Origa from Ghost in the Shell SAC.
Nonvocal: "Free Bird" from Haibane Renmei. (can't remember author)
"Ship of Fools" by Yuki Kajiura from Tsubasa Chronicle.

Medic · Post by **Medic** » 2006-01-14 01:40am

Ooh, perfect timing to stumble here -- listening to anime music.

Vocals (just some I like, no real order just trying to get 3 different styles that are all great songs)

1) Heart of Sword -- Rurouni Kenshin
2) Hiru no Tsuki -- Outlaw Star - Hiru no Tsuki
3) Wo Qui Non Coin - Cowboy Bebop (OST 3)

Instrumental

My absolute favorite anime song is Duo / Deathscythe's theme from Gundamn Wing. Great blend of electric guitars, trumpets, strings, and a drumset. All the music in this series does that but this song is just -- great.

Anything by Yoko Kanno that falls under this, Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne. The Big O also has a great soundtrack, lots of good piano songs.

Though I also love the music from (and the movie) Princess Mononoke, very beautiful and powerful.

Ryoga · Post by **Ryoga** » 2006-01-16 08:22pm

How ironic, I happened to be listening to anime music as well. So, here are some of my favorites:

Vocal:

Yuusha-Oh Tanjou, GaoGaiGar
Men of Destiny, Gundam 0083
The OP from Mazinger Z ("Majin Go, Majin Go....")
Baran Doban, because I think Super Robot Wars counts as anime, dangit.

Non-Vocal:
Pretty much everything from the Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 soundtrack, particularly Ace Attacker and Ai Yo Far Away.

fnord · Post by **fnord** » 2006-01-21 03:27am

Vocal:
Inner Universe (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1st season opening theme)
Lithium Flower (GITS:SAC 1st season ending theme)
Duvet (Lain)
Insanity World (Lain)

Nonvocal:
Island in Videocassette (Lain)
Professed Intentions & Real Intentions (Lain)

BAM! BAM!

I love that guy's theme song.. you don't get to use him nearly enough IMHO.

Post by **RogueIce** » 2006-01-21 12:49pm

I'll go for "My Only Love" from Sailor Moon. I like it.

And nonvocal would be the Sad Tuxedo Mask Theme (or whatever it's called).

Probably not straight up Japanese anime, but then it counts for me.

Oh god I wanted to post that... I don't know why but the first time I saw/heard that song On BeBop I actually teared up. It is EXTREMELY Bittersweet, especially if you listen to the lyrics of the full song in the Album...

That said, from Escaflowne,
For fun, Cat's Delicacy
For cool, Dance of Curse
And for spooky, Epistle

Pick · Post by **Pick** » 2006-01-21 03:34pm

Oh man, looking at my list I forgot "Separation"...

... and "Sora", from Escaflowne... man, what's wrong with my brain?!

Davis 51 wrote:What Planet Is This? (Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heavens Door. Only a few words throughtout the whole song.)

I once downloaded that track unheard becuase someone described it as the soundtrack to a scene featuring:

"James Brown having stolen the Blues Brothers' car, and being persued by the CHiPs and Spike flying overhead in the Swordfish."

Vocal:
"Battlecry" Samurai Champloo
"Bomb a Head" Tenhjo Tenge
"Breeze" Slayers Try
"Mad Machine" Bubblegum Crisis
"Mayonaka no Taiyou/Sun in Midnight" Tenchi GXP
