Best Anime Song Contest

I would like to see OP/ED/Image songs myself...This contest would be good because I listen to a lot of the more "classic" OP/ED/Image songs (since larger series' breed more songs), but I'm woefully behind anything past 2002, outside of the Galaxy Angel series. Good excuse to get caught up. And I wouldn't mind BGM being worked as well.

GO FOR 256! Or 128 + prelims.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I definitely remember there was a diverse selection last time. I only really recognized maybe 20 or so of the songs and there weren't too many series dupes. I think seeing a lot of songs from the same series is much more unlikely than it would be for the VGM contest...Unless someone decided to go nuts with various Inuyasha/Naruto/Conan songs.

I see where both Excrono/Sakabadger are coming from. On one hand, diversity is good and tracks definitely need to stand alone to be considered good. On the other hand...A lot of OP/ED songs do lose something for me without the proper opening/closing sequence (much moreso than game music, since the music is timed with the animation). Obviously, more people have seen the more popular ones.

Maybe a solution would be to link to the actual OP/ED as a video (in addition to the main track). Through Youtube or something? Maybe do the same for BGM tracks (just show a scene where it plays). Just a thought.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm actually surprised Joe Hisaishi's name hasn't been mentioned as a potential dominator here.

I'll be curious to see how a typical Kanno/Kajiura track does against a typical JPOP OP/ED.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
