Anime version of the thread in the VGM section, from which I've been able to find some kickass music (and a lot of re-directs to One-Winged Angel... *cough*)

So anyway, this is the thread for your top ten favorite anime BACKGROUND songs. Not Op. and Ed. music. x: That can be another thread. Or you can list them here if you really want, but I'm looking to see some BGM lists since nobody ever seems to discuss it.

And link, if you can. : D

I'll go first. : D MY LIST:

The Legend Comes to Life (http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/3631/41895) - Pokemon the Movie 2000

POST. D<

10 is a bit too many... For me, its mostly songs by Kajiura Yuki like Mezame(mai hime) and Canta per Me.

With the limitless amount of anime BGM music out there, 10 is too many? :erm:

Wow.

This is my top ten:

1: Rurouni Kenshin: In memories ko-to-wa-ri
2: Rurouni Kenshin: the wars of the last wolves
3: Naruto: Strong and strike
4: Rurouni Kenshin: Fallen Angel
5: Narut�: Sarutobi
6: Rurouni Kenshin: Warrior's suite
7: Naruto: Hinata vs Neji
8: Naruto: Ultimate secrets
9: Bleach: Never meant to belong
10: Naruto: Sadness and sorrow

It looks so one dimensional with all the Kenshin and Naruto tracks but they have a lot of really good songs imo.

wow~ that The Legend Comes to Life is really good. i like this threat, thanks for posting!

my top ten list (for now) ae:

From Blood+:
1. Saya's destiny
2. Grand Theme
3. Countdown
4. Saya's Joy
5. Saya's Fear
6. the final battle

From Simoun OST2:
7. yasuragi no tsubasa
8. yuukei no kumo

From Inuyasha:
9. kikkyo's theme (can't remember the title)

From Gunslinger Girls
10. thema IV

i know this isnt bgm but i love the song give a reason

Also a Blood+ fan.

1. Saya's Battle Theme
2. Saya's Courage
3. Saya's Daily Life
4. Saya's Destiny
5. Saya's Loneliness
6. Saya's Love

Cowboy Bebop:

7. Space Lion
8. Green Bird

Spirited Away:

9. The Sixth Station
10. A Road to Somewhere

I have too many to list. Those are some of my favourites though.

1. Noir - canta per me
2. AIR - love
3. Ghost in the Shell - Torukia
4. Death note - L's theme
5. Death note - Light's theme
6. Chrno Crusade - battle between light and darkness
7. Spiral - melodies of logic and reason
8. Escaflowne - dance of the curse
9. Evangelion - Rei I
10. Fruits Basket - Sorairo

10 BGM pieces isn't a lot... not really my top, but randomly picking some of the ones I like. Top 10 Anime OSTs might be easier to do.

Legend comes to life (Power of one) has been one of my favourite songs for ageesss :D thanks for sharing it with everyone!

Bah so many, it's really impossible to choose all my favs, so I decided to choose only 1 track from each OST (harder to do then you think!).

My top ten (minus Legend comes to life):

1. Last Exile- Princess, Sophia
2. Gunslinger Girl- Tema iv
3. After War Gundam X- Vultures
4. Scrapped Princess- Elmeyer no Kanashimi
5. Hack//Sign- B.T
6. Princess Mononoke- The Legend of Ashitaka Theme (End Credit)
7. Spirited Away- Ano Natsu He
8. Full Metal Alchemist- Dante
9. Voices of a distant star- Introduce
10. Soukyuu no Fafne- TSUBAKI -Komoriuta-

So random xD oh dear...

The main theme for the Berserk series is too good. I forget the name of it though. Anywa, it definitely belongs in the top ten somwhere.

I like most songs from Ruroni Kenshin, Noir, GITS: SAC and FLCL.

hmm... no Bleach? No Gundam? No DBZ? And Pokemon takes 1st??? Hmm.... well at least you've got a Cowboy Bebop track...

In no particular order...

Tenchi Muyo! OVA - Teardrop of the Royal Family
Trigun - Rakuen
Naruto - Sadness and Sorrow
Rurouni Kenshin TV - Starless
Rurouni Kenshin OVA - In Memories ~ KOTOWARI
Rurouni Kenshin Movie - Her Most Beautiful Smile
X/1999 - Sadame
Cowboy Bebop - Goodnight, Julia
Inuyasha - The Soul Power
Ayashi no Ceres - Scarlet



I'm not even going to get into Miyazaki, as I could create a whole list for his films...Joe Hisaishi is Godly.

Anime is a load of shit.

His mom, indeed.

Thanks for the links. They're great! :-D

Some anime's with great music:

Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu
Eureka SeveN
Ouran High School Host Club
Yakitate!! Japan
The Miyazaki films

The bgm for Pokemon (!) has some really lovely stuff, especially:



Tears after the cloud weather / Bye, bye, Butterfree! (I cried when I heard this on TV! :-X)
A meeting and parting / Start of a bright new future
Dazzlingly beautiful girl / the ghost of Maiden's Peak
Legend
Bill's Lighthouse
Pikachu arrives
Pokemon League official cap
The Moonstone / Tower
Burning Battlefield


And the Japanese soundtrack for the original Yu-gi-oh! series is truly beautiful. I'd recommend to anyone to give the sound duel albums a try!

And a nice anime film soundtrack which is hard to find online is Roujin Z - the closing song "Hashire Jitensha" ("Run, bicycle"?) by Mishio Ogawa rocks utterly.
This is without even starting on Yoko Kanno's stuff!

I have been looking for Roujin Z soundtrack, any clue?

Thanks

Alex
