I would say BECK cause the music is awesome. I also think that NANA was pretty good but its more on the romance. While BECK was mostly about the band.

Off the top of my head I'd say that Full Moon Wo Sagashite and Nana are my favorites, but I havent seen all the ones mentioned here.

Angel Beats and K-On are pretty nice~
And too many series with excellent OP and EDs but too many to mention :P

oh yeah, angel beats too!

..but the band parts aren't that much.

Well if OP and ED's are included i'd go for Durarara! I never skipped any of its OP and ED's. even the background music is great!

BECK=Rock
K-ON!=Pop (K-ON!'s tracks are pure talent IMO if you listen well)
Cowboy Bebop=Jazz
Samurai Champloo!=Hip-hop


Are you a musician too? I am always impressed by the advanced level of talent in the K-On! songs.
Yui might be considered a savant of sorts when it comes to music but I doubt anyone could play that well that fast.

The skill required is far beyond all but a few bands and musical styles these days.
It's especially evident in Utauyo!!MIRACLE, it's almost Jazz level musicianship.

Air Gear OST
Cowboy Bebop OST
TTGL OST
Dragon Crisis OST (the anime is bad so far, the music is good)
Panty and Stocking OST (Haven't watched it, just listened to the sound track)

Haven't watched beck yet, but I bet its good.

I think OP means anime series where the story revolves around music. Not which anime soundtrack is your favourite.

You can't tell me that after talking about cowboy bebop which doesn't focus on music, but whatever haters gonn' hate.

Sorry, excuse my use of memes to convey my thoughts. Even though my sentence has no grammatical errors if that is what your getting at.

What I meant to say was:

You can't tell me I can't talk about the soundtracks of anime, after you and several others have already discussed Cowboy Bebop and Jazz. When the primary focus of Cowboy Bebop isn't on the OST, but the plot of each episode. Not that I care ( aka haters gonn' hate)

almost everything in K-ON! is! I have their CD's and boy, does it blow my senses. Hands down to whoever the guys playing those. I play bass, and if Mio is a real person who plays with that kind of skill I'd marry her a hundred times over. LOL. same goes for Azusa's speedy solos, Mugi's creativity, Ritsu's awesome hand-foot coordination and Yui's crunchy blues and skill with the effects. (her use of delay for Cagayake! was so kewl)

..and Yui being a savant? I know someone who is like that. Pray you never meet anyone like Yui especially if you've been playing a looong time just to reach a level that he/she could reach in just a month ><

I think Johomebody means the OST albums which contain the complete tracks including background music for each anime. anyways, you got a point there, music in bebop and champloo isn't part of the plot so..

I'm gonna have to say Macross Frontier at the moment, though after previewing Macross Plus, that'll most likely take the cake. I really love Information High, though I haven't heard any of the other songs.

Nodame Cantabile owns all those music types with it's formidable play of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto 2, it's just divine. Macross Frontier is pretty good as well, though I don't like some songs. Anata no Oto is so cute :3

There is already thread on favourite OPs/EDs/OSTs.



I'm going to join the masses and say Nana and K-ON!. Although the characters in K-ON! learn to play unrealisticly fast and there's not really any depth to the series either. Even the songs are quite lame. ^.^'

With all of it's western rock/metal/jazz/blues music references, does Cowboy Bebop count?

Considering my music obsession, I should really get around to music series soon, like K-ON or Beck or something...
