I bet I am going to get a lot of ridicule for this, but does anyone out there have a favorite anime song, or even watch it?

Best music overall in an anime is FLCL. Almost all of the music was done by the pillows.
YOKO KANNO
COWBOY BEBOP
^ ^
i watched the first two episodes last night
i'd totally forgotten how rad it is.
good taste
Yes
The intro theme to
Paranoia Agent is brilliant.
Parnonia agent
Had a good ending song. Must be some adult swim fans here. I have the adult swim logo tattooed on my arm.
Now
I kind of regret it since they went to shit.
Brilliant
The comic timing there was just something else
sad thing is
thats not a joke i am really stuck with it.
Anything in Cowboy Bebop
Especially the opening music Tank!
Also The Delgados cropping up on the opening theme to the series Gunslinger Girl (with The Light Before We Land)
I've just started watching this again as well
it's great
Gunslinger girl
best use of ode to joy.(The end)
The outro song
to Ghost in the shell SAC.
So bad its so very, very good
best animes
samuria x and baki the grappler. Oh yeah child prey by dir en grey. Bad ass opening
song. Made me want to go all baki on someone.
Does this count?

Plus
Appleseed and Boom Boom Satellites.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
Pokemon!
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon!
Ooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all!
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream
the parade song from the film paprika
this link is the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWsYH-ajvI&feature=related
this link is it used in context
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWsYH-ajvI&feature=related
and this is a trailer in case you think...wow is this the best film ever?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iygc-7bbO-8&feature=related
Is this good?
I've been meaning to expand beyond me anime and this seems the surest thing.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
'Hare Hare Yukai!' by Aya Hirano.
Loads of versions on YouTube, here's the one directly from the ending of the TV show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGJdEJ_JYek
translations are easy enough to find, too.
Hopelessly addictive song, hilarious anime, wish they'd release it in the UK, a mate of mine in Florida sends me R1 DVDs of it.
also: Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki ending theme:
'Talent for Love' performed by Sharyn Scott
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZEamWKjwRo
Another great anime, with an almost unendurably cute credit sequence. But what a pop-wonder! If Mint Royale and Lauren Laverne covered this it'd be top-40 gold.
I second this
Both the anime and the song. Love Tenchi.
GANTZ OPENING THEME!!
The entire Plaid soundtrack
to Tekkonkinkreet.
^ win...
Partly because there's actually plenty of good stuff in the world of Anime music
and partly because the Music forum is in a spam-shambles right now, I'll bump this again and mention
Joe Hisaishi - The Boy Who Drank Stars
From Studio Ghibli's 'Howl's Moving Castle' - possibly one of the finest and most moving pieces of original classical score I've ever heard.
Can't really provide a youtube link as you need to see the entire movie to appreciate the context. But it's so very, very worth watching.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
whys that even up for debate? They even called it Cruel Angels Thesis just to underline how brilliant it is.
thought this was restricted to just themes
the ray charles track in metropolis and komm susser todd from end of evangelion (the world is destroyed/reborn/whatever) are also amazing.
Neon Genesis
Highly overated. Texhnolyze, that had a good techno opening.
FLCL
The Pillows were awesome, as was most of the music in Cowboy Bebop.
Ergo Proxy had a Radiohead song as its closing song quite strangely.
Also Beck was quite a music focused anime, most notable for Japanese people trying to voice American speakers to hilarious comic effect.
