Figure I should post this here. It's essentially a radio done by a group of guys on /a/, they do broadcasts every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday and take requests and ***.
Man Blood+ had some epic music. I really wanted the soundtrack to Steins Gate, but it ended up only 2 songs were good from it, I deleted the rest. Death Note OST has around 20 great songs.
All in all the only anime soundtracks that I own the full sets now to is Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig and Samurai Champloo. Those two soundtracks are the best ever made IMO.
I figured that since there's a regular music thread and a videogame music thread, I should make one for anime/visual novels! So, FFXIAH, what are your favorite anime/VN songs? I'll start with a few popular ones:
If any of you have seen Clannad, you will know why this song is so powerful. Never before have I been emotionally gripped by a single song, I tear up while listening to it sometimes ;_;
But they're manly tears!
No thread on anime music would be complete without mentioning "Lilium" from Elfen Lied. This is definitely my favorite OP of any show I've seen and probably one of the most famous, but sadly I couldn't upload the actual opening (I'm sure you know why).
There is no Umineko anime.
Now that that's out of the way, I introduce Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry), a murder mystery visual novel series. Whether or not you like crime stories, one of the things that is almost universally respected by its readers is the music. Oh god.
I would go as far as to say it surpasses Final Fantasy music at some points. It has multiple composers, and a wide range of music from just plain kickass (Dread of the Grave) to downright horrifying (Mirage Coordinator, ridicule, system0). Definitely one of the high points of the series.
