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.
Certainly not! I've been doing this for years and scrobbling everything to Last.fm makes me be even more obsessive about it.
I have almost too many faves to list, but the aforementioned Bubblegum Crisis would definitely top my list. I've always really enjoyed the OP/ED themes of Ranma 1/2 as well as the BGM, which gets pretty whacky sounding at times. Keeping with the 80s vibe, Urusei Yatsura had some pretty good OP/ED tunes as well as some interesting and variegated BGM. Also incorporates some traditional Japanese music at times, which I really like.
Someone mentioned Macross Frontier, which I'm currently watching and this series has some great music as well. In fact, most of the music from the Macross franchise is pretty good (can't really go wrong with anything Yoko Kanno).
Takafumi Wada's soundtrack for Highschool of the Dead is interesting. Dark and glitchy at times.
I loved the OP/ED themes from Maison Ikkoku and Kimagure Orange Road as well. Haven't watched either in years, so I don't really remember the BGM (need to get back to those soon).
