This type of music is featured in a great variety of anime, like School Days, not only in action-oriented series. They normally are insert songs, and are not necessarily included in the opening and ending singles of the series. Another uncommon characteristic is that, unless they are instrumental, there is high probability that they are removed from dubbed versions.
Does anyone know other examples? I particularly enjoy these melodies (and their animated sequences) and would like to collect more like the ones I’ve shown you.
