So when I realised I was being a huge ass just spamming the anime songs for ONE question in a meme, I figured I may as well just go looking for a music/op-ed meme. I had this saved as a text file from some blog that doesn't exist anymore, so uhhh no link, and I cleaned it up a bit. It's simple but serves its purpose...
Anime Music Meme! Add in any questions or categories you feel are missing! Answer the questions in whatever format you want, but linking to mp3s, music videos, and full songs is love ♥

Favorite Shoujo EDs?

Or does Zombie Loan? no wait shit that's in GFantasy. Oh well, have Chain Ring anyway! [
full song]
WAIT. I GOT IT.
+ Arigatou (Kyou Kara Maou ED2) -- [
video] [
full song] how could I forget ;-;
kaeda, feel free to shun me.
Favourite Character Songs? [I added this one :D because I do what I like.]
+ Kufufu no Fu (Mukuro from Reborn!) -- [
full song] without a doubt, the most perfect character song there ever was. ROBOT THIS IS WHAT I WANTED YOU TO HEAR.
+ Van Da Via Ondo (Yozak from Kyou Kara Maou) -- [
full song] I cannot explain in words how happy it makes me that they put this on a character song album. LOVE. I totally sing along everytime, and possibly drum it out too. DON'T JUDGE ME. How can you not love Yozak.
What series has the best set of openings and endings overall (songs AND animation)?
+ Bleach, for sure. I can count the songs I don't like on one hand. The op/ed animations are usually awesome too - even when I'm not thrilled with the songs, I still love the videos.
OP9/
ED17 set is one of my favourite all-round combinations. The art in Velonica is fantastic. (again, spoilers just in case)
+ I guess I should also add that I've never disliked a One Piece opening or ending. Ever. And there are 30-something of those! Loved every HxH one too (OP2
Taiyo wa Yoru mo Kagayaku is sexy) But Bleach gets points for style! and for variety.
Picking from your favourites...:
Happiest song?
+ STAND UP! (Reborn! ED6) -- [
video] [
full song] but seriously, any of those Reborn ones.
+ My Pace (Bleach ED6) -- [
video] [
full song]
+ Fuusen Gum (Gintama ED1) -- [
video] [
extended/full song] I'm actually not a huge fan of the original/full version; it's the "limited" extended edition they mixed for the show that I love. I wish I had an mp3 of this >: THE LOVE I FEEL RIGHT NOW.
+ BRAND NEW WORLD (One Piece OP6) -- [
video] [
extended/full song] \0/
Saddest song?
+ Aishiteru (Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou ED1) -- [
video] go hd! [
full song] (okay, this is not really a sad song, but it could totally make me tear up, lyrics and all. it's ~emotional~, hush!)
Nevermind, I don't actually have any sad songs.
+ Bluebird (Naruto Shippuden OP3) -- [
video] [
full song] makes me kinda sad though. I dunno. I guess the opening lines don't make me that hopeful even though the song is supposed to be.
Song that gets you most pumped up?
+ Makka na Chikai (Busou Renkin OP) -- [
full song] This is like my anime equivalent of Europe.
+ GO!! (Naruto OP4) [linked above] FIGHTING DREAMERS is forever etched onto my brain.
+ also.. pretty much any of the favourites up there. Most of them are up-tempo LET'S DO THIS type songs.
+ [
BEST DAMN OP YOU'LL EVER SEE] YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE
Song that you can't get out of your head once you hear it?
+ Tabibito (Papuwa OP) -- [
video] [
full song] this probably belongs up in "happiest" too but nnngh I love this one so hard.
+ My Pace (Bleach ED6) [linked above] Tell me you didn't want to sing along with this. JUST TRY TELLING ME.
Song you're embarassed to admit you love?
+ Climax Jump (Kamen Rider Den-O OP) -- [
video] [
full song] Okay, this is kind of cheating because it's live action / tokusatsu, but damn if it's not close enough. It's definitely embarassing enough. You don't really want me to link to the English Pokemon theme, do you? shit
...edit:
oh sweet jesus. I did not know that existed until just now.
Song you don't know why you love, you just do?
+ Zetsubou Billy (Death Note OP2) -- [
video] [
full song]
(I don't like Death Note. I don't like screamy songs, usually. I don't even like the video. WHY DO I LOVE THIS SONG.)
Song you'd steal from another show to be the theme of YOUR anime?
Oh god oh god. I think. It has to be. Sayaendou by NEWS, One Piece movie 7's ending. [
fugly, but passable subs] I need pirates and adventuring and danger and magic and tropical dancing boys in my anime.
