anime theme songs

[wisdom000]

Okay, in an effort to lighten my mood, and chill out from the events on the boards in the last 24 hours, I trying to give myself a mega dose of the one thing that ALWAYS makes me happy.

I am trying to compile a cd of the happiest, put a smile on your silly face anime theme songs out there.

Unfortunately I am having a brain fart

So far, I have several songs from Ranma, the ending theme from Goldenboy, Condition green from patlabor, Cutey Honey, and a few others.......

C'mon people help me out, Steph, Pheonix Tetsu, I am looking in your directions.........

[NeroMan]

Because we share a brain. :eek:

You should put that song from Nausicaa on your CD. The one where the kid goes "La la la la la....." a whole bunch. That song was creepy, but it always perked me up for some reason. It sounds like childhood.

The Cowboy Bebop theme always brings a smile to my face. Probably the coolest theme on any show EVER. :cool:

Oh I always have the cb soundtracks with me wherever I go, but right now I am looking for the super happy goofy songs....... Ya pappa ya pappa type stuff

[Kolimar]

I don't know if they're happy (because pretty much all anime music make me so) but the theme from Bubblegum Crisis cheers me up.

Robotech (I remember one that made me go all misty but happy :D)

Dragon Ball's (like Dan Dan Kokoro, Don't you see, Forever, Hikaru no will power)

Slam Dunk (Baad sakebitai, Zettai-ni daremo, Kirameku toki)

Orphen (Ai)

[kingofcities]

OOOh, there we go...... in fact, say yes from episode 7 and Bye Bye my crisis from ep 8......... perfect

[Headache John]

The extended cut of the Hellsing opening theme is groovetastic.

[Stephanie]

Inner Universe (Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex) is my favorite anime song but not exactly happy cheery.

Do you have any Mini Moni songs (they're a band)? Nothing is happier than Mini Moni!

Sorcerer Hunters is another good one. :)

[bigmentalross]

Love Hina has a bouncy, happy theme song even if the anime itself is a bit shite.

Also, most of The Pillows songs from FLCL are amazing and worth many a listen.

The old Guyver theme song was also cool.

[Michael Hawk]

When there's trouble, you know who to call (TEEN TITANS!)
From their tower, they can see it all (TEEN TITANS!)
When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing they got your back
'Cause when the world needs heroes on patrol

TEEN TITANS, GO!
TEEN TITANS, GO!

With their super powers, they unite (TEEN TITANS!)
Never met a villain that they liked (TEEN TITANS!)
They got the bad guys on the run
They never stop until the job gets done
'Cause when the world is losing all control

TEEN TITANS, GO!
TEEN TITANS, GO!

If your heart is black, you better watch out
You cannot escape the team
When they catch you, there won't be any doubt
You've been beaten by the teens
beaten by the teens

T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!
T-E-E-N! T-I-T-A-N-S! TEEN TITANS! LET'S GO!

My favourite anime theme tune is the opening theme from 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. Anything by Yoko Kano is very nice too.

Ok, with more than one ranma songs, I now have enough for a joy joy cd full of cute sounding girls very energetically singing bouncy songs in a language I don't understand..... I won't have to murder-death-kill anyone, and am going to walk around bouncing for a while.....

Yeah, I am big macho guy all right....listening to the japanese equivalent of the go-gos and kim wilde with a giant goofy grin on my face...... got a problem with that......

Heh, I still have shonen knife cds

[DreamKing]

If you're looking for super-happy anime music, try "For those who love books..." off of the Read or Die OAV Soundtrack. It's ultra-cheesy pop jazz, and I love it.

I'll give you that

[dogofwar]

My all time favorite:The Mazinger Z theme.:D

Others:
Evangelion- Cruel Angel's Thesis
Raxhepon-Hemisphere
Jing King of Bandits-opening theme
Paranoia Agent-opening theme
Betterman-opening theme(I think "Requiem" is the title)
Trigun-closing theme(Kazewa "Ni Moru No Fu" or someting like that)

[Zechs]

Best opening and ending songs belong to these animes:


Inu Yasha:

Gosh there's so many. So I'm just going to list the anime. Heck they even have a cd out (which I bought:D ) that has the first 4 opening and ending songs plus some of the movie.

Gundam Wing:

Just Communication
Rythem Emotion

though the ending sucked except when they used the just no voice version of Just Communication for when broadcasting the dub.

Revolutionary Girl Utena

SHAME ON Nobody mentioning this anime yet oh await someone did but not into much detail! :p Dance Wheel Revolution and forgot the ending but the Duelist Theme ruled!

Rurouni Kenshin (Kyoto Arc)

1-2
It's Gonna Rain

Also Hellsing's opening and ending was great too.

Also some other good mentions that have excellent openings not mentioned yet:

Last Exile
Vandread
Gungrave
MSG: 08 MS Team


Though of course anything that has to do with Yoko Kano is a must
:D

[/B]

How I could forgot that one?

Another god one:

The opening and ending theme from Samurai Champloo.

[ZAXILLA2]

I always thought that the anime episode of South Park lyrics were pretty right on:

Hey! hey! let's go! kenka suru!
Taisetsu no mono protect my balls!
Boku ga warui so let's fighting...
Let's fighting love!
Let's fighting love!


"Let's fighting love?"> Hi-LARRY-us!

[Libby]

Cardcaptor Sakura -- Groovy!

Part of the chorus goes "groovy love song, hallehalleluya!" ^_^

And Chobits -- Let Me Be with You is also really peppy and fun.

[tralfaz]

I can never get that damn Sailor Moon song out of my head when i hear it.

[Zechs]

Oh just remembered, Angelic Layer and Oh My Goddess! Had some good opening and ending songs too.

[Libby]

Japanese or English? I'm always getting the very last part of the Japanese one stuck in my head, you know:

Shi-n-JI-te iruno! Mi-ra-ku-RU Roma-N-SUUUU!

(Probably romanized wrong, but that's how it sounds...)

both... im glad my cousin doesnt live with me anymore. she would drive me nuts cause it was on at 6am and she would wake up and i can hear the tv in the living room. then when she gets back from work she has her bootleg japanese version

[Knightmaresbane]

Slayers and Slayers Next were both very good as I recall.

I like Trigun's, and Legend of Black Heaven cause there METALish

Elfen Lied is cool if you like chanting.

Noir's is also very listentooable.

\m/ \m/

[Pikachu007]

Anyone mention Akira?! Or Robot Carnival?

[beta-ray]

Though I think it was mentioned, I think they listed a different artist...


Judy And Mary - Sobakasu (Rurouni Kenshin)
Siam Shade - 1/3 pure heart emotion (also from Rurouni Kenshin)

Suiteisho-jo - Agreement (from One Piece)

There are others I like, but not really happy shiny...

[Kitty Pryde]

Any Megumi Hayashibara song should put a smile on your face.

My all time fav of hers is the opening theme for the Cat GIrl nuku nuku TV series.
