Let's hit rock! 10 Deadliest Anime Skeletons

- Eeeee rokkkk! - we will shout, throwing out the goat, only when we hear the guitar riff of some anime soundtrack. - Eeeee! - Japanese metalheads, directors, animators, producers and other guys who live and do their work in hardcore will answer us.

And how else can you order it to be done if your job is to create a serious “manly” (and sometimes not so much) anime with a bunch of cool characters, scenes, cool animation... The music should be appropriate!

We present to you the ranking of the 10 most killer anime soundtracks ! At least now to a metal concert!

10. Ergo Proxy - Kiri (Monoral)

If the anime is atmospheric and a little suggestive of God and melancholy, then the soundtrack to it should be appropriate - so, apparently, the directors of the anime decided and they were right! Where else will you find such a palette of sound, into which the performer’s voice flows, like another instrument? And a bizarre change in melody and a bit of electronic sound make the track somehow magically enchanting (even if not entirely killer).

9. BLEACH op. #10 – Shojo S (SCANDAL)

Second in our rating are the ladies from SCANDAL, sweet on the outside and stern at heart, with the 10th opening theme for the already legendary anime BLEACH. Don't underestimate girls who are serious about rock music! The sound of the song is moderately powerful due to the interweaving of guitar riffs, a pleasant rhythm set by the drums, a successful breakdown - what else does a good track need, really! Especially if it becomes the perfect complement to beautiful female voices!

8. Tokyo Ghoul op. — Unravel (TK from Ling tosite sigure)

An anime with drama, pain, and a main character in conflict with his own ego is not complete without a heartbreaking and moving ending. And Unravel is just such a track! The lion's share of electronics and male screaming or falsetto set the “live” and somewhat nervous character of the song. It really sets you up before watching the anime itself.

7. Gintama op. #5 – Donten (DOES)

Without the cult Gintama, this rating would not be complete, so yes to Gintama! Or rather, her 5th ost in the power metal genre. Severe samurai, stern girls on stern plush dogs the size of elephants and above all this - an even more stern mix of powerful guitar sound and drums. The hand involuntarily reaches for the katana, and the fire of anticipation of battle burns in the chest.

6. Noragami op. - Goya no Machiawasa (Hello Sleepwalkers)

There are such songs that make your feet not dance, but move forward! When you want to jump up and run as fast as you can! And it doesn’t matter, in general, where, why and why, and how people will look at you! It’s no wonder that this track fits so well into the concept of the entire anime - after all, in “The Homeless God” everyone is constantly running somewhere and chasing someone.

5. Free op. — Rage on (OLDCODEX)

Anime with a sports theme always chooses songs with a powerful and energetic sound, and this did not escape Free! side. Despite the fact that the plot itself contains more drama than action, the soundtrack seems to set the viewer up for the dynamic development of the plot and, undoubtedly, intrigues. Do you wonder if the spirit of the heroes is really so fighting? However, everyone must find the answer to this question themselves.

4. Nana op. —Rose (Anna Tsuchiya)

Oh, Nana stirred many hearts around the world in her time and still continues to touch souls! The voice of on-screen Nana and Anna’s voice seem to be one whole, and it is almost impossible to perceive the performer separately from the heroine. What can I say! The OST itself needs to be listened to immediately before you start watching (or re-watching) this masterpiece anime!

3. Kuroko no Basuke op. — The other Self (GRANRODEO)

If there is anything more life-affirming and inspiring than this song, then I definitely don’t know about it. It feels like GRANRODEO have discovered the formula for the perfect track and are not sharing it with anyone, trying this magic on us.

Watch carefully! You might want to run and play basketball!

2. Attack on Titan op. — Guren no Yumiya (Linked Horizon)

I don’t know what pumps more powerfully: “Attack” itself or the OST to it, imbued with the militant spirit of medieval patriotism and orchestral sound! And the choir and inserts from the German language are a separate song especially for gourmets. Whether you like on-screen dismemberment or are an ardent pacifist, this soundtrack will not leave you indifferent!

1. Death Note op. — What's up people (Maximum the Hormone)

ATTENTION! Get people with an unbalanced psyche, mothers, children and other impressionable individuals (and, possibly, yourself) away from screens because it’s going to be hot now!

Maximum the Hormone became famous only after they recorded the soundtrack to Death Note - one of the best anime of our time, because their style, ahem, is not for everyone. Metal in some of its manifestations is, in principle, not for everyone, but these guys are not limited to any one direction and constantly mix them, releasing completely crazy tracks. You can find thrash metal, post-hardcore, echoes of classics, punk, and even pop! Complete madness!

Well, as for the opening of “The Notebook”... Well, the legendary anime should have a decent, and most importantly, equally trashy soundtrack!

Top 30 Best Anime Songs

For almost all anime, the authors try to create an original soundtrack that will convey the whole atmosphere of what is happening. The icing on the cake, of course, is the opening and ending theme, which tend to receive the most popularity.

Previously, we already posted a list of 15 anime with a great soundtrack, where we touched on the main themes in addition to the opening and ending. But then we were talking about the full musical component, and not about individual songs

TV Asahi decided to conduct a global survey to find out which anime songs are the most popular among viewers. A total of more than 130,000 people took part in the voting. The final top 30 included both classic series, for example, “Dragon Ball Z,” and completely new, but audience-favorite themes like “Kimetsu no Yaiba.”

A good time to remember how much painstaking work anime creators put into the soundtrack. For your convenience, we will present the results from 30th to 10th place in the table, and post the top 10 with a video.

Top 10:

Mrs. Green Apple - Inferno (Fire Brigade / Enen no Shouboutai)

Aya Hirano — God knows… (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya / Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu)

TM NETWORK — Get Wild (City Hunter)

Linked Horizon - Guren no Yumiya (Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin)

fripSide — only my railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun / Toaru Kagaku no Railgun)

Top 35 Best Anime Ending Songs, Ending Themes

We always remember our favorite ending theme songs in anime.

Sometimes more than an opening in some cases!

Of course, the opening has the difficult task of getting us fired up for the next twenty minutes, but the ending is much more difficult. It follows exciting moments, emotional climaxes, and may even be the last thing you see before the experience ends.

There were thousands of anime ending AMVs that could have made this list, but I couldn't rank them all, my friends.

I'm just one person. However, through years of devout research (read: anime watching), I've compiled a huge list of the best ending AMVs and themes in everything.

It wasn't easy - I had to deal with buffering, broken headphones and a lot of crying - but I think I did it.

Blue Stream

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Haibane Renmei

Our protagonist spins naked in a fetal position, as if suspended underwater.

As she spins gracefully, she sings a soft and haunting ballad, wings flap in the background and the color temperature gradually changes - until she disappears in a flurry of feathers.

It doesn't break its welcome or interrupt the dark, delicate tone of the anime with which it ends.

Mikazuki

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Ranpo Kitan

Sayuri's gorgeous voice sings over an artistic silhouette of a girl running through abstract imagery.

The instrumentals suddenly burst upon you, exploding into an ecstatic flurry of guitars, drums and feverish singing, before ending the piece on a quiet and reflective note.

It's a shame that Ranpo Kitan was such a disappointment, but fortunately this won't be the last time he sees Sayuri.

Yume no Ashioto ga Kikoeru

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Ga Rei: Zero

You can feel the gravity of the sister's situation through the playing of guitars as the ending begins, cinematic and melancholic.

a completely in front of us , and our MC is slowly but persistently walking ahead.

We eventually reach the chorus, where the painful grip is shed in favor of something more heartfelt and optimistic, until the sisters finally meet.

Danzai no Hana

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Claymore

The combination of Celtic instrumental music and J-Metal works much better than anyone expected.

A catchy chorus and heavy guitar enhance Claymore's brutal, depressing story.

Completely unique, straight up 2000s anime metal that still sounds incredible all these years ago.

Minna no Piisu

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Gurren Lagann

Gorgeous monochrome vignettes cascade past our protagonist Simon while a raw rock anthem plays behind him.

Constant drums, energetic chords, upbeat vocals and a solid ending - this ending fits the anime perfectly.

This early 2000's rock is designed to excite, energize and put a smile on your face.

And that's what TTGL deserves.

Gomen no, Iiko ya Irarenai

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Kill la Kill

We are taken through the streets, following Ryuuko through her daily life in a Trigger-style urban environment.

A punk electric guitar riff over Miku Sawai's vocals is a catchy way to end an episode of one of the most outrageous anime of all time.

Hello shooting star

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Assassination Classroom

The visuals in this AMV are like a storybook.

A collection of short stories with crude, child-like drawings of our characters and a distinctly whimsical atmosphere.

This works hand in hand with the sweet vocals.

Unbearably cute, incredibly exciting, and befitting the central motif of friendship and love in a wholesome anime (though the title might lead you to think otherwise).

The Last Theater

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Death Parade

While Death Parade starts out light-hearted, perhaps to refresh you for the tear-jerking events of each episode... the ending drags on that emotion.

Sad, sad singing - “I can’t stand it, is it almost over?” – over moody guitar instrumentals, heightening the desperation that permeates each episode.

Monster with no name

Watch on YouTube

Anime: Psycho-Pass

The song begins with softly sung vocals over a frantic yet quiet beat before eventually segueing into a joyful cybernetic collection of eclectic guitars and soaring strings.

It then turns back into what sounds like an electronic dance song that I can't help but tap my foot to.
