Arigatou- Home mad Kazoku
Shinjitsu no Uta- Inuyasha ed

just to name a few. This was a terrible list

saint seiya!!
ashi ro no me nu naaaaai aaaaaa

saint seiya!!
ashita noi me sai dururaii

BS!!! Kenshin should have been WAY higher. Also, no Weiss Kreuz, Fushigi Yugi, didn’t see any Lodoss War (might have missed it). *tear* Anyway, those all should have broken top 50 at least.

Otherwise, besides the fact that many of my favorite songs were not even on the list, and most were picked on the fact that the anime was good, couldn’t argue with many (Utena, Slayers, Eva, etc.).

Fair, overall.

BS!!! Kenshin should have been WAY higher than 89.

Didn’t have X, Lodoss War, Weiss Kreuz, Fushigi Yugi, all BS and should have broken top 50 at least.

Otherwise, considering they were mostly picked by the actual show, not the music, a pretty good list.

Next week I will post the second and, hopefully, the third as well.

Personally, I think Slayers has a few more songs to offer, although having one at #5 is awesome. Digimon’s “Butterfly” surprised me, I knew it but never thought it would be the there. And no BubbleGum Crisis, which has probably the best soundtrack ever made?

Personally, “Ai oboete imasu ka” from “Macross: Do you remember love?” is the best one, because it was one of the first I ever listened, and encouraged me to learn Japanese. I would also include Macross 2 opening, “The hush of two hundred million years” because of the rhythm, and the series ending “Promise”. “BubbleGum Crisis” has too many to choose, like “Say Yes”, “Mad Machine”, “Mysterious Night”, etc (I spent most of a night listening to them).

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust’s “Tohku Made” by Do As Infinity would be pretty high, with Utena’s opening theme and Rurouni Kenshin’s “Sobakasu” by Judy and Mary.

As you can see, I prefer old, ’80-’90 anime songs rather than new ones, although I am open to everything. Hope you post the yearly best 100 again at the end of 2008! Cheers!

#27 is from Rozen Maiden, song name is 禁じられた遊び (Kinjirareta Asobi, Forbidden game).
