Best OP/ED/INS of 2008!
Link | by tomoyo! :3 on 2009-01-04 01:41:51
Tell us whats your favorite anime opening song, ending song and insert song and why! Since this is created in the music section, please do not choose your song by how the animation/video looks like when its played! Another note is that the song must be from 2008!

I'll get the ball rolling!

Best OP: Toki wo Kizamu Uta (Clannad)
Its the first anime opening for me to have a direct relationship to the anime itself, and the lyrics are touching to me, so thats why its my favorite OP of 2008.

Best ED: Mr. Lonely Heart (MS Igloo 2)
I was about to put Shiawase Neiro, but this song's lyrics steered my choice.

Best Insert: Unlimited Sky (Gundam00 second season)
Great voice, great song, this song beats listening to continued story and nyan nyan service melody. =P

I see it's plural, so we can choose more than one song?
Trying to remember the animes I've seen way earlier in 2008, compared to the later ones in 2008.

Let's see, Best OP:
  • "Toki wo Kizamu no Uta", Lia, Clannad: After Story
  • "WORLD END", FLOW, Code Geass R2
  • "Velonica", Aqua Timez, Bleach
  • "Hatsukoi Parachute", Hashimoto Miyuki, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
  • "Alsatia", Galneryus, Mnemosyne - Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi
  • "Gorgeous 4U", Fukuyama Jun, Shimono Hiro, Yonaga Tsubasa, Horie Kazuma, S.A. (Special A)
  • "Pre-Parade", Kugimiya Rie, Toradora
  • "Closer", Inoue Joe, Naruto: Shippuuden
  • "Sekirei", Hayami Saori, Inoue Marina, Hanazawa Kana, Endou Aya, Sekirei
  • "Discotheque", Mizuki Nana, Rosario + Vampire Capu2
  • "Lost in Blue", Nightmare, Mouryou no Hako
Best ED:
  • "Cross Game", Alice Nine, Yugioh 5D's
  • "Dear sweet heart", Hayami Saori, Inoue Marina, Hanazawa Kana, Endou Aya, Sekirei
  • "TORCH", Lia, Clannad: After Story
  • "secret base ~ kimi ga kureta mono ~", Friends, Kyo no Go no Ni
  • "Suno no Oshiro", Wakeshima Kanon, Vampire Knight Guilty
  • "Unnamed World", Hirano Aya, Niju Mensou no Musume
Best IN:
  • "Continued Story", Kuroishi Hitomi, Code Geass R2 (the sure winner)
These are only the theme songs I remember. I'm probably missing a few more, but these were some of my favorites that I could remember. :P
Code Geass has a good chance of winning two of the three, cause "WORLD END" is just insanely addicting and good,
but compared to some of the other songs on there, it's pretty tight competition.

Overall though, 2008 left us with some really good songs, and anime.

Didn't think so much about the EDs and INs, but the best OPs have to Alsatia from Mnemnosyne and Akai Usagi from Blade of the Immortal.
