** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lOPDD_p5u0 "Battle With the Clowns"], the music that plays during the famous motorcycle battle sequence near the beginning of the film.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MfVo6h0n0Y "Theme of Gemini"] from ''Android Kikaider: The Animation''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpK1T2ZzjaY "My Soul, Your Beats!"], the opening to ''[[Angel Beats!]]''.
** Note that there are two versions of the song used in the anime -- the original, with Iwasawa singing is more rock oriented, while the revised version features Yui against a piano. The soundtrack CDs included not only both versions, but vocal-free versions of each, which has allowed fans to remix it to hell and back -- Yui with rock guitars, Iwasawa with piano, and the most awesome of all, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im--kWO229o a remix incorporating vocals and music from all versions].
** The ending, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYv_LV_xNJA "Brave Song"], and the insert/last ending [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbPTib0eef8 "Ichiban no Takaramono"] are Crowning Music of Heartwarming, especially "Ichiban no Takaramono" when it's in the context of it's associated CMoH(s).
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNj6dkBekRg "Worthy Rival"], which plays whenever Noda does something awesome. Or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8unmLxSt3M "Critical Point"], heck, even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaH_t5E2rTI "Decisive Battle"].
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTlapsnsC1I "Kanade"]. Just... listen, there's no sufficient way to describe it.
* How about some of the songs from ''[[Angel Beats!|Girls Dead Monster]]'':

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwzFQNhTz-g Kagura] (this one gets extra points for being punkish)
* Okay, so it's actually a [[Real Song Theme Tune]] rather than one made for the anime itself but ''Guns & Roses'', the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUjqlVt6y2A OP] for ''[[Baccano!]]'', is still friggin' ''glorious.''
** As awesome as "Tank!" is, it might have to move over for this OP. The saxophone. My god, THE SAXOPHONE.
** There's also a recurring track called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUSWtu6UiM8 "Baccano! no Theme"] that, much like the above mentioned "Ayato kill theme," seems to pop up during moments of total pwnage.
Line 294:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwX3fznC_lQ "Senshi Yo Tachiagare"] from ''Cybaster/Cybuster''. The lyrics are already awesome (seriously, hear it and read the [http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/cybaster/senshiyo.htm translation]). Now hearing it live, there are no words that can tell about it. Now hearing it in an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey5i5L-nDmA acoustic version] is simply death...
* You could buy ''[[Dai-Guard]]'' based on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbAtiFSDFY4 opening theme] alone.
* ''[[Darker
** [[Memetic Mutation|NOW I'VE LOST IT, I KNOW I CAN KILL]]
** The ending [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6PESKwuRFo "Tsukiakari"] by Rie fu is calm and very soothing.
Line 317:
* The entire ''[[Dragon Crisis]]'' soundtrack counts as this, but special mention must go to its kickass [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E18EN7672yo opening theme].
* ''Dragon's Heaven'' is an old and very obscure single episode OVA about ancient mechs that few people have ever seen. However, it has one of the most [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBDqHok-oMA beautiful, touching, and badass pieces of music ever]. It has just the right mix of [[Heroic Resolve]] epicness and seriousness that makes you want [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|to never give up, no matter what]].
* Fans were clamoring for the "episode preview" track from ''[[Durarara!!]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5UBdEATN8 "Ikebukuro West Exit Five-way Intersection"], for its delicious sax licks ''long'' before the OST came out and the full version could be enjoyed in its glory.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_COKfihLA "Ryokushoku No Kioku/Green Memories"], which is first heard with beautiful scenery as our protagonist has a lovely dream of "being whole again." It plays again later on, when said protagonist is riding on her motorcycle thinking about the man who loves her. She tosses her arms into the air and says (paraphrased) : "If there is someone that can find redemption in me, then why can't I find redemption in them?" It is one most beautiful scenes in the series, and the lovely piece only amplifies it.
* ''Dennou Boukenki Webdiver'' is a lesser-known sci-fi series from 2001. Nonetheless, both the opening [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ggM7M-1ex4 "Diver 2100"] and the ending [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXy_pi98kaM "Together"] deserve a special mention.
