Favorite Themes?

[Aleolus]

OK, what is your favorite music from anime? You don't have to have liked the anime, just tell what themes you like, as well as what series they're from, and when that series plays it. For instance, I would have to say that my two favorite themes would have to be Ranma 1/2's Don't Make me a Shrew and Utawarerumono's Musouka. Don't Make me a Shrew is the opening theme to Ranma's first season, and Musoka is just the opening theme to Utawarerumono.

[Radical Dreamer]

*Actually, Suara is the singer who sings Utaware's opening theme, which is actually called "Musouka." She also sings the second ending theme, "Kimi Ga Tame," which I also liked.*

Anyways. Favorite opening themes:

Guns and Roses -- Baccano! (extremely fun to watch and jazzy. For the win.)
Tori no Uta -- Air (Gorgeous animation, and I like the singer and the song a lot. XD)
Innocent Starter -- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Not my favorite anime, but I do like the opening theme.)
Tattoo Kiss -- Kaleido Star (I don't know why, but this song is just amazing. XD I love it for unknown reasons.)
Meditational Field -- Paprika (The opening scene is VERY fun to watch, and I really like the song that goes along with it. Fits very well. XD)

Favorite ending themes:

Calling -- Baccano! (Absolutely gorgeous song. One of those that you can listen to over and over without getting tired of it. XD)
Farewell Song -- Air (Again, I like the singer, and the animation works for the ending. The song also has that really nostalgic feel to it for one reason or another, and it's just pretty.)
Love Chronicle -- Full Moon wo Sagashite (This song is ahjgkdlajga. I love it. A lot.)
4th Avenue Cafe -- Rurouni Kenshin (Catchy song that's just fun. XD)

2) first FMA ending....don't know what it's called.
3) Last opening to Eureka Seven....don't know this one either. [/color]

[Aleolus]

Actually, I also quite like Bravin' Bad Brew, the theme to Venus Versus Virus. Not just because the opening line translates to "Save me from the darkness," and it has that same theme running throughout the majority of the theme and the series. Here's the total translation, going by the ADV translation of it.

"Save me from the darkness"
A sad voice that I felt.
I'm in the Hell,
I'm in the fate,
If we embrace, I'll freeze onto you.

I don't trust anyone, but the reason why I want to save you is
Just becauce I know that if I can ignore the color of sin, I can go back
Wait... The door beckons my heart
A fate that will change who I am now

Your passion that plunges into my heart is the key
"Save me from the darkness,"
That was my own scream
Within an illusion that I can even choose a different life
Is it a comforting dream?
I waver, bravin' my heart.

Anyone else see a lot of Christian overtones to that song, or is that just me?

[ChristianKitsune]
