300 Anime Songs – True Otaku Can Identify at Least 270!

This epic compilation of “anison” (anime songs) spanning 2005 through 2008 has proven exceptionally popular on NicoNico Douga, serving as a sort of otaku litmus test, with its creator claiming thusly: Recognize over 270 anison and be advised your life is over – You are an Anime Otaku!
Disabling comments by clicking the captions box in the lower right might be a good idea, as the video is often covered by an endless stream of numbers as viewers keep count of their score.
The video unsurprisingly has a long runtime, clocking in at over a half hour, so it would likely require a good burst of otaku spirit to make it through the entire length in just one sitting:
The four years covered are arranged like so:
No.001-020 = 2008
No.021-130 = 2007
No.131-230 = 2006
No.231-300 = 2005
The end of the video has a word from the video creator thanking viewers for watching his never-ending medley, as well as a brief word on scoring:
“In average, I feel that if you know over 270, or 90%, you are an aniota (anime otaku), while something less than 200 should be a beginner otaku.”
The songs are for the most part readily identifiable to anyone who has been watching a good amount of TV anime this decade, so perhaps the given numbers are not too far off the mark.

Why god, why?
Why can I still not watch/hear nico douga videos :(
Any other source for this, like download?
Three years later and the video is still unwatchable for me. Though, it seems do be deleted now..
Da fuck, the Video is still there and works
i only recognized only hmm.. about 20.. Haha XD
Knew 38 as anison. Recognized another 7 songs, but didn't know they had been used in anime.
Guess I have a lot of work cut out for me.
heh 0, j-pop is overrated
yes..it lacks numerous series (like toradora, ghost in the shell or evangelion), so it is aimed at a specific otaku section. But numerous op are normal jp rock or jp pop, and the majority of the series based on vn use a renewed version of the vn op. So one don`t have to be a otaku to recognize numerous of them. But to recognize +270 one probably have to be a otaku.
As stated in the title of the video, it is composed of songs only from anime between 2005 and 2008.
No, it missed a few big ones like Toradora and Mai Otome.
Toradora lasted well into 2009 and Mai Otome just sucks, anyway.
Oh god, I actually went to count slowly how many songs I knew... I only got 28?? There's still quite a way for me to reach at least 100...
I knew 11 by name.
Had it running in the background.
I recognized alot of the songs though, but not by name.
2 so far (10 mins through) hahaha ill maybe get 4 more? .. ok just herd 1 more ive watched... i still love anime..but i obviously have other things to do with my life too..ok 1 more while writing this haha..
i score 92/300, i'm desu-appointed whit mysel :(
i fully recognize 196, there were 40 to 50 that i vaguely remember the title and the rest i really do not know.
Oh how sweet and nostalgic. I enjoy watching most of the shows but I am disappointed at myself for forgetting them. Its sad that they were buried in my memories. I feel like I was giving the shows less credit but I swear I do not.
:) Digging up old memories is quite fun though :)
I know 20-30 of them but never thought that come from anime song
22.
I was hoping for 10, but I guess this isn't all that bad either.
i know 225 songs but i don't remember most title.
what's the point of remembering anime music anyway? it's not like you understand the lyrics.
Yay 45 i thought that I wikk not achive 15% but mushishi saved me
I got 94. Loved 295.
Anyways anyone knows 259?
I got about 200 (190+ I'm not sure).
85 i knew by name, maybe 4 (pretty sure all haruhi image songs) that i knew but not by name.
This anon only identified 1/5 at least, but the 2005's ones were so nostalgics! Good job!
Does any one have the fulll list of all the the songs that are played in the video.
i recognised 85 but can't even name half of them ^^; aa~ah, my head is a mess..
Glad to see I'm not the only one..
I recognize almost none of the 2008 and 2007 ones.
The rest were better...
It was a lot of music from the same series though.
And I knew a few from medleys...
wow....out of 300 Anime songs i only reconized 16...
Lucky Star, Haruhi, NANA, Momo, xxxHolic, Negima,
He is my Master, Rozen Maiden, Peach Girl and Mai Otome!
I really though i was hardcore when it came to anime. wow... i'm so disappointed in myself.
Out of all 300 I can name around 100 (at least the song/artist/anime) and I know I heard at least 100 more somewhere, but I probably couldn't tell what or where its from.
100-200 (depends how you count "identifying") is not bad. I'm actually happy its not 270+, I'd feel REALLY sad now xD
i havent listend to the whole thing buy im doing the math.
there are 300 songs from 4 years of anime.
in those 4 years how many anime were good?
you have any idea how much bad anime you have to watch to know them all off the yop of your head?
this is probably the 1 way i would never want to be considered an otaku, watching all anime, even the worst anime has to offer.
Heh, jpop is just great~
I probably couldn't even get a score of 90% trying to see if I recognized every song on my own mp3 player (every song on it is one I've added individually).
Eh, exactly 230. Course, with a lot of these series, all I watched was the OP and EDs.
seriously where is toradora...?
yeah, where is toradora? guess i'll just watch it again
140/300 mhh the last 50 were the most har to recognize
93. Im actually surprised I recognized as many as I did.
I got 12. :-)
Even I watched more then 50 of them..
65 out of all 300. Is it good or bad?
was waiting for songs from Chaos Head but didn't hear it :(
What's 232, i cant remember :<
I have recognized several songs on this list (props to addind KimiARu and IGPX), but I feel he should have added more, like these ones from 2005-2008 I am very familiar with:
Owari no Uta (TOKYO TRIBE2)
Auvers Blue (Kemonozume)
Calling (Baccano!)
Nesshou! Rabuge Night Fever! (Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge)
Tondol Night (Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge)
Suki (Kemonozume)
TOP OF TOKYO (TOKYO TRIBE2)
Scarecrow (Moonlight Mile 1st Season -lift off-)
Taiyou no Mannaka e (Eureka seveN)
Shounen Heart (Eureka seveN)
What's Up People!? (DEATH NOTE)
Nothing (TOKKO)
Sherry (TOKKO)
Alumina (DEATH NOTE)
Pray (Gintama)
Yuki no Tsubasa (Gintama)
Shura (Gintama)
only got 92 out of 300...

does anyone know the names/artists to the following
#92
#104
#105
#129
#195
#198
#289
#293
please
Got to catch them all!
198 - Modokashii Sekai No Ue De by Yui Makino
289 - Kouga Ninpou Chou by Onmoyouza
293 - Star by Aiko
..i only know 118/300 :/
092. 小坂りゆ - ココロの跡
104. カニヴァリズム - モノクローム
105. redballoon - 銀色の空
129. 折笠富美子 - 心の輝き
195. 奥華子 - ガーネット
198. 牧野由依 - もどかしい世界の上で
289. 陰陽座 - 甲賀忍法帖
293. aiko - スター
Why state the obvious?
If people are posting to request names, its quite clear they cant read the characters. Posting a reply in japanese clearly shows your attempt to inflate your epeen.
The artists are not stated in the video, and he asked for them too.
These are their names, not other ones. They are JAPANESE songs after all.
Someone may not be able to read the characters but they can be copypasted and searched for wherever one deems necessary.
What song is 32
This was a great post : ) Made me think about how much I really love anime.
134..... only T_T i fail
