Ok...Honestly...I have summed it down between the following two opening themes, and oddly enough, they are from the same anime ..just diff series's of it..


Record of Lodoss War OVA theme...

Record of Lodoss War Chronicles Of the Heroic Knight theme...

WHICH IS BETTER!!??

They are so beautifull...gosh I guess It's just me but the first one is more....beautiful, but the second one is sorta..really gripping.....I like both...

What bout you folks?

:) I actually perfer neither of those two songs, my all time favorite theme songs are:

You Get the Burning from Nadesico's opening theme and also my newest favorite is See-Saw which is the closing theme from Gundam Seed.

I love the Chronicles to a Heroic Knight's opening, it's sung by one of my favorite J-Pop artist (Maaya Sakamoto) and it's beautiful.(Like most of her songs).

My favorite openings are Duvet(Serial Experiments Lain), Velvet Underworld (Weiss Kreuz), and Scarlet. (Ayashi no Ceres...the second version anyways.)

I'm split between 'Cruel Angel's Thesis' (Eva) and 'Wild Flowers', 'Chase' and 'Song for...' (all from the Japanese series of Zoids). They're my favourite themes. But I have a special nostalgia for 'Target' and 'Butter-fly'- Digimon Adventure 02 and 01 themes respectively. Basically, I like any ones with electric guitars and good orchestration, with as much or as little synth as necessary. Personally, I'm not too keen on the Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star themes because they're quite different to what I'm used to, and I just don't find them that good. Lost Universe and Generator Gawl have good themes, too.

Anime music! I love it! Right now the most current title I'm hooked on is the openning theme of Star Ocean EX 'To the Light'. Its great and it even drove me to get the extended version :P Next is Reincarnation from Tekkaman Blade. Cruel Angel's Thesis is cool too. And of course one my favorites: Holy Lonely Light from Macross 7.

Hmm, it seems that everyone is [b]spamming[/b], so let's change this topic into your favorite over-all anime song, heh. I'm disappointed in you, Kevin. ;)

My favorite song is probably the opening theme for Outlaw Star. It has a very cool tune that's fast pace and catches your, um...ears. In any case, I think they did a great job, and it even influenced me to buy the series! Ok, not really...but it is still cool. :)

;) Well techinically it's not spamming if they discuss why they like the song....which many have done....I was the one just being lazy....V_V

Well the reason I like the theme to Nadesico is that I can identify greatly with the lyrics and because of that one song I bought all three soundtracks.

As for See Saw the reason I like that song is for the fact it's a romance song. I'm a bigger sucker for that type of stuff and the singer is rather popular in Japan.

:wigout: So ok people please discuss also why you like the theme songs you do.

:p Happy Syk3?

Ah, I meant that you should stay on topic by, well, refferring to what the person who started this thread was talking about. He wanted to know which song was better between the two, but now that we've gone further, that's ok too. ;)

Um...originally.. the second everyone started talkin about other themes... I was sorta angered that no one listened to me in when I asked which of the two songs I mentioned that they liked better....

Well after reading... I like to see all this diversity in who likes what and why.....

heh, I'll answer the original question... I really love the OVA opening, Adesso e fortuna, I believe? And I think the Chronicles opening is sea of miracles...but I can't quite remember... Anyway, I prefer the ova theme, because I think it's gorgeous. Lovely music, and when I finally watched the anime and saw the translation, I fell in love all over again. ;) It has really nice lyrics, and I thought they were really sweet. ^-^ As for the Chronicles opening, I really like the song, but I would never place it over adesso e fortuna. ^^ Actually, I like the ending theme for the chronicles, Hikari no suashi much better. It's really fun-sounding, and I love the whistling in the beginning... heh... :p

I know its not ROLW, but I know a couple worth mentioning.

Outlaw stars opening.

Yu yu has a chessy one worth a sec.

cowboy bebop of course.

Most of the stuff on adult swim.

The original opening to the later dbz eps. I think something like "we've got power"

But most of all, that opening to outlaw star rocks!

I love OS's opening... Through the night is a great song. ^-^ I loved all the music from Outlaw Star so much I even bought both the OSTs... And YYH has a nice opening, too. Although the US version was butchered... It lost a lot of instrument sounds and I love the original version a lot more, but even the dubbed one is rather catchy... ^^;

I'd have to say that I'm with you but the opposite......I love the ending theme to Outlaw Star...and I just love th drawing they have as well. It just seems so surreal and surene....but at the same time it makes me sad when I hear it..Should I be sad??? But I def. love the ending theme to Cowboy Bepop..(The real Folk Blues) I just love that song!!!


P.S. GOTENKS... The opening for DBZ you're thinking about is called..."No Ten Pe Ken" Sp maybe wrong...sorry.
I just loved to try to sing that song....
*Theme music for DBZ starts....gets up and dances around room will trying to mouth the words!!!*

lol. Same with me. The first ending was Hiro no Tsuki and the second was Tsuki no le, I loved 'em both. ^-^ Hiro no Tsuki is such a pretty song... Melfina's seiyuu has such a nice voice. ^^ That song made me sad when I heard it, too. I'm with you on the drawings the show at the end, I always loved them. They looks almost realistic, but they're also kinda futuristic and some of them have those weird animals and stuff....they were all really pretty, though. ^^

[size=1]I personally enjoy the DBGT opening song "Dan Dan Kokoro" or whatever. But I enjoy all of the songs from Cowboy Bebop. "Green Bird" is very relaxing. :p[/size]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]My two favorites would definately be the opening for Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Psycho Soldier Athena. They're all pretty good. ^_^

My all time favorite would be CB though... It has a real nice beat, and sometimes I just repeat the opening on dvd, because I want to listen to it. ^_^[/color] [/size]

I have a very very very strong liking to Yakusoku wa Iranai from Tenku no Escaflowne. One of my all time favorites... Through the Night from Outlaw Star is good as well. Kenshin's opening sucked. I hate Judy & Mary, but their ending themes always rocked. The Yellow Monkey, TM Revolution, Bonnie Pink, Siam Shade, and L'Arc~en~Ciel did those endings. Very good stuff. And ofcourse Zankoku Na Tenshi No Teze from Evangelion. The Pocket Monsters first theme is good as well.

AS for the original question I would have to go with the OVA theme.
Why? Heck, like I know.
(reads above)
Ahhhhhh as for other themes.......
1. Yoma Uta Kazoe (Blood Reign, yeah who didn't see that coming)
2. The yu yu one (i forget name, but the subbed one, the dubs slightly diffrent since they made it rhyme)
3. through the night (we all know from where)
4. Tank (need i say more)
And going off topic I am in love with the ending themes from Outlaw Star.

[B]Actually, the name of the song is "We Gotta Power". ^_^ But yes, it was a very nice theme to say the very least. [/B][/QUOTE]



Thanks for the correction...but I could swear that everytime I saw it dubbed It was No ten pe ken...well I guess I didn't read it right...but who cares....

Back to more songs...Let's see who I forgot... Well I kinda like tho opening to YU YU..But I gotta hear it again in its original form. The dubbed versions music is nice...But I can't remember how it was in Japanese...

Also...where is it possible to find the songs from animes. I always wanna get some but never seem to find em.
