Just wanted to make a list of my favorite songs from various Anime I have watched.
So, here we go:
5) Blumenkrantz - Kill la Kill
Probably my second favorite song from an already stacked KLK soundtrack (the first comes later)
4) Libera Me From Hell - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
If you've watched Gurren Lagann (and you should) you know that, when you hear this song, some pretty intense stuff is about to go down.
3) Bloody Stream - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency
My favorite of all the JoJo openings. I stopped myself from including multiple in this list.
2b) Traditional Song of Shadows - Shinsekai Yori
I had to have a tie for the number two spot
A really great song that uses a variety of traditional Japanese instruments combined w/ some modern ones. Really sets the atmosphere for it's Anime, Shinsekai Yori.
2a) Before My Body is Dry (aka. Don't Lose Your Way) - Kill
There's no way you can't like this song. It's just too catchy.
1) Tank - Cowboy Bebop
Possibly the most famous Anime opening ever. Tank is just way too cool not to take the number one spot. Definitely check out some of Yokko Kanno's other stuff as well.
So, what do you guys think about my ranking?
Also, share your favorite Japanese songs ( they don't have to be from Anime).

Time to Study Japanese!!
In case you don't realize this by the end of this blog post: I am a huge otaku.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I have one goal after this class: to gain the Japanese skill necessary to understand the first 45 seconds of the Tatami Galaxy.
Ok, probably not. But, it would not be a lie to say that the initial reason I became interested in studying Japanese was to be able to understand Anime, Manga, and J-pop with no translation.
I first became aware of Anime through Cartoon Network's broadcast of Dragon Ball and Naruto while I was in middle school. Upset at the weekly schedule, I searched for more online and found out that, in Japan, Naruto was over one hundred episodes ahead of the American dub.
Since then, I have broadened my horizons. I started reading manga, learning about Japanese culture (Thanks to professor Bowen-Struyk's Cool Japan class - which I would highly recommend), and listening to J-pop (currently digging ORESKABAND). Being able to understand Japanese would greatly increase my immersion in almost every form of Japanese media.
So, that's pretty much it for this post. Feel free to talk to me if you want to discuss anything about Anime or Japan in general.
