How many anime/game songs can you recognise?

I came across this video via the blog linked below. It's another one of those Nico Nico Douga medleys that have become so popular in the last year. 525 songs are featuerd in this 55min video. Why not test your knowledge of anime and game music if you have an hour to spare? I'd suggest watching it in 10~20min segments, as all the songs started to merge together in my head after a while!

The selection of songs is quite random, from 80's/90's series to recent anime and bishoujo games. Most of the songs are OPs but I also noticed a few insert songs and character singles - watch out for #494.

I only got 137 songs, with a further 10-15 that I might have recognised given a few more seconds. I was 100% spot-on with the Kenshin and Higurashi songs, but found that I was surprisingly bad at differentiating between OPs sung by KOTOKO. ^^;

How many can you recognise?

I got 55 for sure, and I might have gotten a few more if the clips were longer.

I only managed 167, and that is based mainly on the older songs in there. There were so many others that sounded so familiar, but I couldn't place them,and I had to resist reading the name of each song as it came up :D

I have a problem with most anime theme songs these days, so many of them sound the same. I can watch a series (including the op/ed each episode) and still forget the song as soon as I am done :)

I do better on that 700+ anime song medley :D

Nagato's character song was in there. And I say seven because I think Itsuki's character song was in there as well. I didn't recognize it at first, but I did glance what looked like the anime's title before it disappeared.

Well damn... 102 out of 525. Would've known a lot more if I watch iDOLM@STER.

While listening, I took a note on which I recognized, unsure, didn't know the title, etc. :P
Someone know what are the songs I have "??" mark on?

I think they used only two iDOLM@STER anime songs. The rest may have come from the games.

lol How the heck are we supposed to know at what point #334 came on? Maybe there's a complete list somewhere that someone bothered to copy from the video.

i got 125 / 525.

wow. i think EVERY schooldays / higukai / haruhi / pokemon / digimon / panipanidash / megumi hayashibara / two mix / Coorie / Ali project song was included. i saw a lot of other names of shows i havent seen show up a lot as well.

only ONE H&C / Sailormoon / Kirarin / Prince of tennis / ojamajo doremi song?! and they didn't play ANY cowboy bebop, flcl, hana yori dango, paradise kiss, Ranma 1/2

oh, though i was suprised to hear Nadja (107), Tiny snow fairy sugar (446), SOS from kare kano (464). and it made me happy to hear Marmalade boy (423), Oofuri (360, 185), and Kodocha (48)

good listen, especially for a lot of older themes i knew SO well, but had no idea what show they were from. now i know some of them!!!

I only got 22, but I have a really bad habit of skiping the openings and endings. It was also weird to recognise certain bands but not the songs. Like all the L'arc en Ciel songs ^^

Yeah, I was over 400, lost exact count, but there wasn't many I didn't recognise; and there was a bunch from Otaku's Dream SM packs, which introduced me to some of the songs for series I haven't seen.

Um, anime. Mostly. OPs/EDs, some inserts. I don't even make a habit of watching OPs and EDs most of the time and I still recognise the majority.

Yup, too bad I stopped playing it like a half year ago T_T
Actually...I noticed...WHERE THE HELL ARE THE BLEACH AND NARUTO SONGS? LOL!? Expected atleast one of them to be in it. Maybe I skipped it over...But I don't recall hearing any of them. And so many KOTOKO songs @_@ like 10-20 of'em. Knew them all btw.

Well the ones I didn't castch where that mosiac.com or something and IDOLMASTERS I missed all of them.

There were. They had the opening theme of Code Geass and Eureka Seven, which were pretty much the same song. But other than that, I'm not too sure.

I'd be interested in that medley too. I had a quick search for it, but nothing in the 700+ plus range came up.

I was not including songs where I recognized the artist but not the anime (or when I recognized the song, artist but not the anime)

I got about 1 game song (Clanand ED) >______>

Arg, and now I can't find it either. *sigh* It was on NicoVideo, and was over 100 minutes long. However, here is another one some of us on irc were listening to a while back. It's only 517 songs, but I do better on this one also. :)

I also made my own anime song medley. It has around 100 songs on it, but the music clips are a little bit longer, and it is super easy ^__^ (and there are a couple of songs in there twice -_-;)

There are guides in English on how to register.
For example, here:

I am ok at recognizing anime songs, but game songs are totally lost on me.
