I know this will appeal to only a few people *COUGHstepchanCOUGH*, but I love anime music, and I hope you do, too! Here's some of my faves. Feel free to post yours and comment on my choices, too.

Gravitation: Shining Collection and In The Moonlight
DBZ: Hikari No Tabi
Mokke: Kokoro No Ato
Major: Strike Party and Saraba Aoki Omokage
Gundam: Invoke, Reason, and Vestige
Naruto: Viva Rock, GO!!!, and Closer

I'd have to go right back to the first anime tv show themes... I still remember these...

Kimba the White Lion
Prince Planet
Astro Boy
Gigantor
Speed Racer

Oh yeah! Those are the classics. Didn't get to catch many of those except Astro Boy and Speed Racer. I mainly started watching anime with Dragon Ball Z.

Let me scratch DBZ: my first anime was Pokemon, how could I forget that? Then YuGiOh, then DBZ. Thanks for bringing that up.

....and my son is your age!  :o

Some of mine:

(I'll try my best to remember the titles)

Mahoro Mambo(It's the ending theme of the first season of Mahoromatic, I think the song's called that. The ending of the last season I like alot as well)
Open Invitation(Urusei Yatsura, there are several others I like from this series as well)
Hurricane(Bubblegum Crisis, well... it plays during the episode)
Poppy Flower(Ranma 1/2, again, there are several others I like from this series)

....and my son is your age!  :o


Really?! How ironic.

The only one I know of yours listed is Mahoro Mambo, and it's very catchy! I'll check out the others sometime later.

There are several from Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura that I like but don't know the names to. I'm pretty fond of the opening theme from Maison Ikkoku as well(I'm trying to remember the name at the moment).

I'll probably download those sometime. Ever watched Utawarerumono? I haven't but I've heard the awesome theme song "Musouka" by Suara.

That sounds familiar....

Is that the anime with the people who have sort of a kemonomimi theme(animal ears and tails)?

I think Wikipedia has it listed as that, so yes.

I thought so, I also have Newtype magazines that showed it.

Newtype? Never heard of it. I've read Anime Insider before. Good magazine with lots of stuff on InuYasha, DBZ, Chobits, ect. I remember seeing all the strange merchandise they showed, like a Sailor Pluto pill box, anime phone cards, and a Gamera soap dispenser.

I've bought both of those.

Newtype is one of the more expensive ones, they usually come with DVDs that have a couple of episodes of different shows on them. I haven't been able to buy in awhile(Well, if I was by myself still, I would at least be able to buy them on and off).

I'd have to say the entire soundtrack of Harmeggedon (1983), simply because it
was scored by Keith Emerson.

The soundtrack is not for everyone, only the most ardent Keith Emerson fans.

no matter which game I am playing , so Blaziken is alright in my book.

When it comes to starter Pokemon, I'm kinda mixed element wise.

Gen 1- Squirtle(But I have chose Bulbasaur before, never picked Charmander except for trading to GSC)
Gen 2- Chikorita(Never chose any of the other ones for a playthrough, only for trading, I used to own both games)
Gen 3- Mudkip(But Torchic is close second, I don't care for Treecko)
Gen 4- Chimchar(Although all the them were close, Chimchar edged out ahead in my choice)

Those are good choices. I remember having a team of all LV. 100s once. They were Blaziken, Venusaur, Zapdos, Mewtwo, and 2 more I forgot. (BTW, that was on Ruby.)

Mewtwo, eh? ;)

Yeah, I forgot to point out that I traded some from FireRed. And Mewtwo is awesome, in Pokemon and Super Smash Bros. (Shame he got the ax in Brawl.)

A bit off topic I know but I only have LV. 100s in Pokemon Red, I've never restarted the game because of Mew. My lineup in Red is:

Mew - LV. 100
Dragonite - LV. 100
Charizard - LV. 100
Graveler - LV. 97
Fearow - LV. 96
Pikachu - LV. 96

I also have a Mew in blue and a 100+ Kangaskhan but catching them ruined the game.

Oh yeah, the 100+ Kangaskhan, AKA "Missingno.", one of the worst glitches of all time. I have quite a few Mews in Pearl, but they are Action Replayed.... (Meaning I used a code to get them, like GameShark.)

Now there's the Pickup ability to pick up the slack.(Alittle)

Pickup is a miracle to gamers without cheat devices like Action Replay. It's the only reason I carried 5 Zigzagoons with my Rayquaza while training on Victory Road.

I have 5 Pachirisus with the Pickup ability, all named after characters from the Mother/Earthbound series. I traded them from Pearl to Platinum for boosted experience(and since I've beaten Platinum, I'll be trading over Lucky Eggs on Kanto and Hoenn starters).

All named after Earthbound characters? To quote Ness from Brawl "OK!" I have some Battle Tower teams named after the members of the bands DragonForce and BeForU. Yes, I'm a huge nerd. And I loved battling my own teams by visiting my secret bases through link cable on my Ruby/Sapphire/FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald cartridges. I'll open up a Pokemon gaming topic eventually over on the 2000s board. Till then, this thread will do.

I actually have a Pokemon Platinum gaming thread on the video game board(which registered users can go to, it doesn't show up otherwise). It started out as a live blogging/updating playthrough on the Longest Thread Ever(on another sub board here, registered users can go to it) and after awhile(mainly after seeing a thread about seperating heavy live blogging of movies, gaming, etc.) I started a thread on me finishing the game's main story. Now it's just going to be updates here and there and Pokemon in general.

The Mother/Earthbound names I used for the Pachirisus:

Ness
Loid
Kumatora(the only female of my Pachirisu group)
Teddy
Jeff

I call them Team Pk Thunder.

Okay, cool.

On another note, I'm restarting a file on Leafgreen after I send over the Pokemon that I raised(12 to go, 2 days total) up abit.

Did the "Mew Glitch" on Yellow work?

Did the "Mew Glitch" on Yellow work?


I legally own the Yellow cartridge, so I can download the emulation and try that out. I heard about this "Mew Glitch" on the internet somewhere, never got to try it for fear of wrecking my game cart. Now that emulation is here, we have no fear in risky business like this.

I am doing Anime Song Of The Day every day I can now.

Today's is "Ougon No Compass" an ending theme from one of the Dragon Ball GT movies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypA6x7iJ8Sw

I might have that on my Dragon Ball/Z/GT OST.

(Not sure, due to my computer not liking Youtube and shutting down due to probably needing dusting)

On a side note:

I'm surprised TSB posted on one of your parodies, something I meant to mention. He rarely posts. I even tried to get his attention before by voting on some of his stuff.

(Your sig made me remember it)

I think it's because TSB knew "You Are A Pirate" and "Engine Sentai Go-Onger", and I think he only comments on songs he knows and topics he likes (tributes to him, Sesame Street and other kiddie shows, ect.) If you want him to comment you, learn a Super Sentai song and parody it ASAP. May I suggest Shinkenger?

Here's today's anime song: Re-Sublimity by Kotoko, from Kannazuki No Miko. Never watched the show, but got the song in a ZIP folder of anime songs and thought it was pretty cool.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5kgzef9ELo


And just due to the awesomeness of it: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWD0dN7YN8U

It was the You are a Pirate one.

I kinda thought he was an anime buff as well,(he's done stuff about Dragon Ball in general, even parodied an Dragon Ball opening TV theme that I know, it was one of the ones I voted on) which is why I tried to get his attention.(even someone on my Teen Spirit left a comment along the lines of: TSB, we found a friend for you)

Come to think of it, I do have the opening song of Dragon Ball(import CD), but no ideas for it.

I have done two song parodies where the OS is at least partially in Japanese(Urusei Yatsura's Rock the Planet and South Park's Let's Fighting Love)

BTW, on the topic of anime songs, did you know that the guy who sings Makafushigi Adventure (the Dragon Ball theme song) voiced Parco Folgore in the anime Zatch Bell?

Off topic post, which I apparently in haste forgot to type.  :D

From Evangelion, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qv3fmE4SM4 the theme song, called "A Cruel Angel's Thesis.
From Sailor Moon, I actually like two image songs from the same character, two from Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter's voice actress Emi Shinohara. Here they are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei7COKyZfjI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTwQrpyRhxE
The Rose of Versailles theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhhVqaSPRk
And of course Cowboy Bebop!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jCJZEFIto
Trigun theme song is good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzHe4U5c5Oc

Ok, ok. I confess. The one anime that I am familiar with.

The only one out of your post that I have seen was Sailor Moon.

Really, Step-chan? The others are some of my favorites. What do you like? Trigun and Cowboy Bebop's themes were written by two different members of the same band IIRC.

I shamelessly admit to liking Death Note's second OP, "What's Up People". It's kind of silly and fun to watch. It's inspired some pretty funny parody videos.  ;D

I noticed that I accidently posted in your quote box.

Anyway...  :D

Things like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gundam I never had any interest in watching. I do like the Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto though.

That reminds, I need to try to install a new Web Browser, IE6 has been dropped by Youtube(understandibly). I can't see any videos now.

Everyone's got their own tastes. I'm not too into the moe slice of life anime.  :P :D

Naruto is moe?

Well maybe his sexy jutsu is...

Perhaps.

Haha.  ;D

I really love Yoko Kanno's work (she composed both the Cowboy Bebop and Ghost In The Shell: Standalone Complex themes)

Of the anime songs I've heard, these are some of my favorites (in no particular order):

"Let Me Be With You" from Chobits
"True Light" from D.N. Angel
"Metamorphose" from This Ugly Yet Beautiful World
"I Love You" from Full Moon
"Future" from Kiddy Grade
"C'" from Happy Lesson
"Cruel Angel Thesis" from Evangelion

I remember "Let me be with you".

I used to have Kiddy Grade(before my house was robbed, the second time losing my anime DVDs).

Which one is future? It's been along time.

Yep, a few times. Blessranger did a parody of "Makafushigi Adventure" from Dragon Ball. I did a song from the anime Gravitation. I'm not into Gravitation or any Yaoi (homo anime) for that matter, I just like the song since anything Daisuke Asakura does turns to gold.)
