Goldeneyeuro said: Hmm... Wolf's Rain OST 1 and 2, definitely, along with Rurouni Kenshin's "Best Theme Collection" and OST 1 and 2. .hack//sign's OST 1 and 2 were also good, along with the .hack//roots OST 1. .hack in general has great music, with the exception for the LOTT OST. Death Note's OST was good, along with the "Best the Bridge" collection from Gundam Seed/Destiny. The OSTs to GS/GSD weren't to my liking, however. But one of the most addicting music from a series... is anything from Initial D. I mostly agree with you. Ost's from Wolf's rain, GS &GSD, Death Note and Kenshin are masterpieces but I have to add one OST: Hikaru no go's Ost. |

| All Key's OST where the best. Death Note was kinda good too. especially the opening ^^ (Nightmare-fan :D) |
| BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad OST |
| One of my favourite soundtracks would be the entire Aria series, with its relaxing music that suits the themes soo well :) |
| Claymore. |
 |
| Death note's is epic xP |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| What I like is that even though you've just watched an anime series that was complete crap or mind-numbingly mediocre, the music can still make it a worthwhile experience. Wolf's Rain is a classic example for me. The anime was ok, but nothing to shout about, but Kanno's score was beautiful as ever, I listen to it all the time. I watched the equally meh Darker Than Black just because she was involved. Reideen is lame, but it has a hidden musical gem by the promising Ike Yoshihiro. Even Naruto Shitpooden has the equally promising Yasuharu Takanashi behind it. Far too many good soundtracks out there to mention, but thought I'd throw some random thoughts out there. |

| These are my favorites~ 1. Mushishi 2. Cowboy Bebop 3. Rurouni Kenshin (including the OVA) 4. Death Note 4. Baccano! 5. Welcome to the NHK 6. FLCL 7. Denno Coil |

Maybe it doesn't help that I never finished the series, I dunno. Most OSTs stand fine on their own though so I don't think that's it. And yes, Takanashi Yasuharu is awesome. I've loved all of his work so far (Just wish I could find the Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge OST >.<) |
| GITS OST isk which one but i guess the 2nd one cuz i though the 2nd gig's music was better |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |

But yeah, not one of her best efforts for sure. Maazter said: GITS OST isk which one but i guess the 2nd one cuz i though the 2nd gig's music was better Every single GitS OST kicks my ass.

 ------------------- nyhusern.net |
| R.O.D. the TV for me. it's part of the reason why i could watch that series over and over again. |
 |
| I really love the Darker than BLACK, higurashi no naku koro ni + kai and FMA OST's. |
| My favorite would be the Figure 17 OST, preformed by THE ALFEE. |
| I think it's the FLCL one. Though I loved the Gundam SEED and Initial D OSTs. But they were nothing like FLCL OST. Actually I haven't heard too many OSTs. |

| I am not sure if this topic has been discussed before. If it has, my apologies. Now, on to the topic. As the title states, what are your favorite anime OSTs (and maybe why?)? My two favorite at the moment would probably be the: A) Boogiepop Phantom OST - Composed by many different artists (also a pain in the arse to sort out on winamp), this OST features a whole variety of genres and songs. Each song is a bit long, but that didn't matter. Great OST. B) Hellsing OSTs (more so the second) - The Hellsing OSTs (composed by Yasushi Ishii) feature so many different styles and mixes them all together, and has never ceased to amaze me since downloading them god knows how long ago. Yasushi did wonders with these OSTs, and has, in my opinion, much talent as an artist. Now your turn. I do a pretty mediocre job at explaining why I love the OSTs here, and you are welcome to contribute more or less. Cheers |

| the original naruto ost is pretty darn good. Especially that main theme :O |
| Every day you spend without a smile, is a lost day. |
| Figure 17 OST Reasons: Reminds me of one of the best shows I've ever watched (Figure 17) Epic theme/setting music Trigun OST's Reasons: Western |
| gintama ost :D |
| lol |
| FLCL OST Aria OST Code Geass OST |
 I take icon requests. |
| I couldn't even begin to list individual OSTs. Anything by Kajiura Yuki, Takanashi Yasuharu, Masuda Toshio, Kanno Youko, Ootani Kou, Kawai Kenji, Nanase Hikaru... could go on. I'm a big fan of music, and anime has a hellova lot of great composers. |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann OST Some tracks form Bleach OST Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST (mah... I love Uematsu-san) |
 Sorry for my English ;) |
| Lucky Star OST <3 |
| Macross Plus - Yoko Kanno (I don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite soundtrack that she did.) Anything by Kenji Kawai (Single-handedly my favorite movie composer ever. His live action stuff is also amazing, iincluding his scores for Avalon and Death Note.) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Hands down for Macross Frontier OST. epic win |
     |
| Volume 1 - 3 of the THoMS OST Lucky Star OST |
| (づ°‿°.)づ |
| I love any Yuki Kajiura OST. I also liked the Haibane Renmei OST, the Ayakashi OST and the Jigoku Shoujo OST |
| I see anime OSTs in two different categories, "fitting" and "great listening music". There is loads of well executed music that fits into a certain anime perfectly, however, I wouldn't necessarily listen to in my free time. Yoko Kanno is one of my favorites that fit into this category. I think the more important category to focus on is great listening music, so I will post about just those. Numbers one and two stand out the most. 1. Samurai Champloo OSTs - Arguably the best soundtracks of all time. Among the best hip hop beats in existence, so if hip hop is your kind of music, don't miss out on this. The soundtracks include music produced by four remarkable artists; Nujabes, Tsutchie, Fat Jon, and Force of Nature. With hip hop being my favorite type of music, and with Nujabes being my all-time favorite artist to ever step foot on this Earth, it is no surprise I would pick this as the best anime sountrack. This anime has given us four masterful CDs which I listen to frequently. It's hard to believe an anime could have organized something of this stature. 2. Boogiepop Phantom OST - A mix of various types of music: Electronic, drum & bass, and ambient. I didn't even realize how great the music was while watching Boogiepop. 3. Hellsing OSTs - I must second this one. Yasushi Ishii incorporates a lot into his music, these soundtracks really stand out. 4. Akagi OST - Short, odd tunes that greatly increased my appreciation for Akagi. If you watch Akagi, these songs cannot go unnoticed...you will most likely enjoy this OST. Not an easy one to find, I had to search for a few hours. 5. Dragon Ball Z (U.S.) OSTs - Memorable, unique, and most importantly something I would sometimes listen to in my free time. Five CDs in total. When anyone talks about anime music I can't go without mentioning Interstella5555 - The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Although not technically an anime OST, it still must be mentioned. If you are into Electronica, prepare to be amazed. I must check out that Boogiepop Phantom soundtrack you speak of animesoup. Please continue to post your opinions everyone, this could turn out to be a great thread. |

| *Browses through files* .hack//SIGN Cowboy Bebop Gankutsuou (Along with the Classical Compilation) Gravitation Samurai Champloo |
| I'm fairly sure a thread like this has already been made, but, the search engine's still down. Well, I think my favorite OST's are those of: Nanatsuiro Drops Shugo Chara! Kamichama Karin Sketchbook ~full color'S~ |
| I'm actually to say the old, first Naruto soundtracks, the second cd of the FMA-soundtracks and a few of Bleachs. But really, tracks like Morning och Sadness and Sorrow is actually great, despite the current quality of Naruto >__> |

Thanks for the name drop animesoup, this is exactly the kind of music I look for. No problem. :) I agree with you, when watching the series I had no idea when watching the anime that the soundtrack was this great. Somewhere I read "this soundtrack does not need to be played with the anime to sound good" or something similar, and I fully agree. Yoko Kanno is also a great artist. I was first introduced when listening to the Darker than Black OST |
|
| I'm liking the Spice and Wolf OST atm. |
| All osts with Yoko Kanno. |
| Iwaski Tarou for Tengen. Yoko Kanno. |
 |
| I'm actually rather fond of the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle OSTs... they end up shuffling through my playlists alot. Oh, and the BuriMyu OSTs. Those probably have the highest play count from all of my music. |
 |
| d gray man^^ the first few naruto OST. and and Code Geass |
| ~Friendship is so sweet that it can cause tooth decay~ ~Respect the losers, cause without them, there'll be no winners~ |
