This remix is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNUdJtLBAtA
But generally anything by yousei teikoku.
No DATABASE ?!! WTF
Database got me so hype for Log Horizon every episode.
There is a serious lack of Slayers songs on this list.
Where is Get Along or Give A Reason?
Seconded.
Digimon Butter-fly hell yeah.
Only my Railgun and Cruel Angel Thesis also good.
No Porno Graffitti: Melissa or Hitori no Yury?!
I know this list is rather subjective but... sono chi no sadame is gotta be in the list for me
this list lack this>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74fP4waPN9Q Bomb a head is a fuckin classic
and this>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LywcWfGq2rU Oh My Juliet is so underrated...
and this>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKKubeSUppk can't believe a list of songs "that get you PUMPED" wouldn't include Pump Up.
Well, one punch man takes 1st place for me.
JAM Project FTW
Come the hell on, Databasu is the hypest shit.
This one from Blood+ usually got me pumped
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
Why no TTGL intro Sorairo Days?
Ignore the hipsters, Libera me From Hell is where's my money is at.
ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH
Seen more than 300 series and whenever I think about "pumped up" and anime song, the first thing that comes to mind is Martian Sucessor Nadesico's "You get to burning".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af4A-3MZbXU
Inital D - Dogfight.
YOU GET TO BURNING
/thread
WTH!?? Where the FUCK is Sorairo Days?
Death note had best songs... So did Black Lagoon's op. Oh well.
"Ai o Torimodose!!" - YOU WA SHOCK!
^ This.
Personally the Madoka ed got me more pumped. Light shines brightest when things are at their darkest, etc.
Agreed, Magia > Connect. But fucking Misterioso is so good it makes me cry.
most of jam project songs usually gets me pumped alright because their tension build on each song is just awesome.
heats from shin getter robo is one of their fine example.
how i wish sorairo days ended up with masaaki endoh version for TTGL opening
Anything JAM Project.
That's... a rather arbitrary list. What about Inner Universe, Rinbu ~Revolution~, Trust, Seishoujo Ryouiki, Hemisphere, TANK!, Boomerang Boogie ~Nanpudo no Ojisan~, Give a Reason, or Super Shooter?
Much like 100% of the lists on this site, they are based off of popular opinion.
Wow you mentioned a lot of my favorite songs ever! Except for "TANK!", Never cared about that one. Props for remembering Inner Universe although Origa's Rise is still better.
Let' me add Tattoo Kiss, Asian King Fu's Rewrite and Naruto's Go.
Tank from cowboy bebop. why did the voters miss this?
Dragon Soul from DBZ kai. in fairness the song sounds good
Sign from naruto shippuden. more on feels though
boys and girls from hitman reborn. how did they miss this.
nanka shiawase from flame of recca. its a classic
driver's high and hitori no yoru from GTO. another classic
chain from air gear. its cool
super driver from haruhi season 2. energizing
just communication from gundam wing. THIS
trust from vandread. gundam level action
tomorrow from full metal panic. personifies fmp
live for life (full title's too long) from ben-to. makes fighting sound like eating
Screw this list.
Sono chi no Sadame, Bloody Stream, Stand Proud, Sono Chi no Kioku are the definition of "pumped".
Also why is Guren no Yumiya referred in it's translated name? Whereas every other songs are still referred by their Japanese names? Get your consistency right, Sancom.
Do westerners care about Asian names, I think not. People from the east should accommodate to westerners' way of their first and second names but not the other way round. :(
I wonder why whenever a list of songs whether on popularity or whatever from any seasons came out, people likes to "dedicate" their favorite songs in disregard to the theme of said list...
While it is nice and alright to share what you enjoys but "to screw this list" or "this is shit list" is what I always see on articles of this nature.
Can't people just respect that such "list" isn't made just for you? lol
But we are for a Change not arguing, that the Nr.1 is deserved right? O.o
while not a die hard fan, i have watched those series...
surely;
saint seiya
dragon ball series
sailor moon series
bleach
one piece
naturo
... all have at least one song that can rile up the masses
hack.//sign
escaflowne
tenge toppa gurren lagann
tenhjo tenge
medaka's box
nyaruko
oh, how can i keep making this list go on
First Durara OP - that one was pumping.
Second OP "Complication" was better.
Hajime no Ippo - Stand Proud - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AtIhuKn2No
Good song but I think the second opening to Hajime No Ippo - Inner Light - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhvIoZgRCpE would get anyone pumped up
Good list either way, But I think there are more BGM's than openings that make you pumped up
like luminous sword from Sword Art Online or MAD-NUG from Gundam Unicorn.
P.s I'd replace the number one song with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKXaEYHnVVc
Has anyone spoken about Gundam series? Particularly SEED cause I remember some really good ones from them.
The songs were good the series sucked
I would have said the Trigun theme but dos it not count as it is not vocal?
heros com back naruto shippuden
Great list for a change!
Even though its the American version, "Rock the Dragon" DBZ
Say what you want about the localized versions of anime, but the American compositions were amazing.
A substantial portion of the Japanese fanbase prefers the American soundtrack. The Japanese BGM was very "generic 80s anime" horn section stuff not all that different from contemporary Gundam shows and whatnot, the U.S. soundtrack was much more interesting.
None of the "rally good" themes are mentioned... And not a single one is more than 5 years old here.
Some of the best anime themes are from the "good old" 80s- and somehow they managed to skip out on Priss and the Replicants and Kajiura Yuki, who have actually some of the best selling anime theme albums out there!
Erm...the Neon Genesis Evangelion song (third one down) is 20 years old.
97. Not quite 20 but getting really damn close.
It aired in 1995 in Japan, as did the first season of Slayers and Gundam Wing. The English dub was released by ADV in 1997.
Erm, quite a few of them are over 5 years old...
>Evangelion the obvious one.
>Digimon also obvious.
>Haruhi is almost 10 years old.
>K-ON! believe it or not is over 5 years old.
>Railgun the no.1 is actually just over 5 years old.
Man I feel old.
1) Evangelion is less than 5 years old? I'm young again!
2) Konya wa Hurricane, Victory and even Say Yes are still in my playlist
3) Kajiura Yuki rarely makes songs that give you "tension" as the original survey asked for, more like the opposite.
I was gonna "edit" to correct myself about EVA and Digimon, but yeah, you get the picture. As we all do.
(And I like "Mad Machine" from Priss the best ;) )
"Say Yes"?
How is Butter-Fly less than five years old? While I don't disagree with the second half of your statement, songs like Butter-Fly and Cruel Angel's Thesis hardly count as stuff from "new anime".
Except:
Evangelion is fucking 20 years old.
Buso Renkin ended in 2007.
Sure they missed the good stuff from the 80:
Not just BGC--(Victory is a rip off of Jim Steinman's Nowhere Fast BTW.)
Love is Russian Roulette
Get Wild
DYRL
They also managed to leave out Lion from Macross Frontier.
>They also managed to leave out Lion from Macross Frontier.
I get that people have different taste and all but how they could leave out Lion from a list like this is beyond my understanding.
18 years.
Most people who watch anime grow out of it in a few years. It's only the otaku that keep watching it as adults, so of course most people responding to the poll will only know about the new stuff.
Considering that the average person eventually grows out of watching anime when they graduate uni. After they have had the real world bitch-slap them, it's not surprising that "not a single one is more than 5 years old" .
Don't be so self-righteous. You don't "grow out" of your hobby- I don't see modelers or photographers "growing out" of theirs. Besides, what else should I watch? Seinfield? Grey's anathomy? FRIENDS?
Dingwad, I saw a few people make a life out of these. Why else would Comiket be this long running. Plus, I met a few people in a Graduate course still watching anime, and he has the full series of Cardcaptor with the movies. Not being a fanboy, but anime is not just a hobby, as much as photography is.
While some remain with anime all their lives, most do not. Those that remain share their company with children.
"While some remain with anime all their lives, most do not. Those that remain share their company with children."
Says the obvious child.
Read a book, retard.
Keep whining little bitch
Photography is not a child's hobby, but anime, like dolls, toy cars and catching bugs, is. And people do grow out of those.
