Wrapping it up

I don't have great answers to any of these questions, and Day 27 and Day 30 are related, so I decided to do them all at once.

Day 27 - Favorite anime opening theme song

Opening/closing theme is hard for me to answer, because anime theme songs go in one ear and out the other for me. I don't remember them if I'm not actually watching them at the time. So it's inevitable that my answers to Days 27 and 30 are from One Piece.

That having been said, I usually find songs either irritating (so I skip over them quickly) or addictive. This (OP Opening Theme #2) is one that I enjoy so much I sometimes go out of my way to listen to it again. Not for the music, mind you, but for the totally cheesy Japanese voice-over at the beginning. I love it!




Day 28 - Favorite pokemon

I -- what. OK, I cannot answer this question on the grounds that I have literally never seen Pokemon. However, I went and found a Random Pokemon Generator, and it gave me #151, Mew. Which seems appropriate.

Day 29 - Favorite school uniform

Too bad Saa Koi ni Ochitamae isn't an anime

This is almost as bad. I don't really pay much attention to uniforms in anime, idk. However, in honor of Utena's re-release on DVD (and in honor of cross-dressers everywhere):



Day 30 - Favorite anime ending theme



Again from One Piece, Closing #2. (It's really just a coincidence that both of my favorites are #2.) This not only has a theme so catchy I literally can't get it out of my head, but it has all the crew members in their little-kid versions. SO CUTE. (I can't decide which wee crew member I like best. I do love that they only use this ending after we've seen the first five crew member's backstories, even though they're not particularly spoilery.)


Now to tackle all that re-reading, now that I've finally been reunited with my manga. ^__^

the band that did it has been fans of OP for ages apparently and rewrote it multiple times till they felt it was just right

Hey, hey, will you tell it to me? I'll just go listen to it, won't watch the images. :)

Here's a link to it on youtube:

It's called One day...the thing is, what makes it so perfect and so poignant is, in itself rather...ahem, spoilery. So sooo spoilery for it to completely make sense, so if you're not caught up with the anime/haven't read the manga in the last year, it'll not make as much sense....but it is really good.

Thanks. :) I listened, but did not watch the video. I suspect in 20 years, when I finally get to that arc, I'll enjoy it a great deal. XD

Welcome. It is a FANTASTIC arc, when you do get there! ^_^
