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. ^__^

None of you are going to like it, though.

Now I'm really curious to see what it is. I like a HUGE variety of anime songs, so I sort of doubt I wouldn't like any of your top contenders.

re: Orphen - I love the OP, too, but it was mostly for the ED that I bought the CD.

To be fair to the show, I never saw more than a couple episodes, so maybe it got amazing later, I don't know. But the beginning didn't really catch my interest.

Oh, man, after I typed that... well, technically it went to hell because my OP is ......actually an ED. (jeezus, my brain, let me cut you out.) Still, the 1st runner up was basically a heartbeat away and it'd only been hard to chose between them anyway, so at least I didn't have to re-angst all over again thru the other runners-up. (Of course, for ED, I'd also already had a clear winner, so then I had to angst again). Lulz.

I don't know if I'd say Orphen ever got amazing, but it was a decent, solid fantasy story, at least under all the slapstick they tried to lighten the mood with. I really liked his character and the whole dragon thing and uhm, other spoilery stuff I guess. (I didn't, however, ever finish the 2nd series....)

Oops. Well, I expect you to tell us what it was anyway.

Don't worry, it's the choice for the ED entry. ;)
