Hi all, I was just wondering if I was the only person that actively downloads the OP, ED, and sometimes soundtrack of every single anime that I encounter. I'd like to hear some of your opinions on the best anime soundtracks (including OP and ED) that you guys have ever listened to.

Redline - OST

Also, Kara no Kyoukai and every Ghibli out there.

Edit:

In my opinion, Bubblegum Crisis has, and always will have, the best soundtrack.

...and that one!
I think I've listened to Mr. Dandy more than 50 times.

Personally, I revere the person who made the soundtrack for Shingeki no Kyojin. It is just damn epic.

If you're looking for some gems, just listen to some of the playlists in there. You'll recognize many and maybe discover many others.

I love anime music. It alone can make me love a series

.
Some of my favs are already listed in other posts but these are some I thought of off the top of my head:
Fate zero
Chihayafuru
Sword art online
Umineko no naku koro (anime was ok imo but soundtrack is amazing)
Key series (ex. Clannad, Angel Beats, Air, Little Busters)
Naruto actually has some really nice and epic songs
Guilty crown soundtrack (just as amazing as attack on titan music for me)
Sword of the stranger OST

Ghost in the Shell. A very cyberpunk-characteristic melding of natural and artificial sounds.

I love ambient soundtracks with graceful swelling tones and an exploration of mundane, ordinary sounds.

Guilty Crown

cqinzx · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2013, 01:39:01 PM »

The ED for K-On! is what I've been jamming to recently.

Eureka 7
Air Gear
Macross F
Guilty Crown
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell
Mai-Otome series and OVA's
Mai-Hime
Persona 4
Diebuster
Gunbuster

You'd probably want to look for OST's with some names like Kawai Kenji, Kano Yoko, Sawano Hiroyuki, Tanaka Kouhei, and supercell attached to them.

I liked the OP for Toradora - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jABi1pNHvnk

If you like the sound of that you might check out the band Stereopony, I really like them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYV-XJdzupY
