Line 13:
** Andrew W. K. also did a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiCvZT-Klg suitably awesome] English version of Here Comes Char!.
 
=== [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]] ===
* May I present, the very aptly named, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu9_SLf0k3Q Men of Destiny].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81iZsjxbx_M The Winner] is nothing to scoff at either.
** Which leads to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKqR26llSqs an AMAZING English translation] by Richie Kotzen of [[Poison]], who happens to be [[One of Us|a die-hard Gundam fan!]]
* We later get [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0vM8FR1Wn4 Oblivion] from the same source as Men of Destiny. It uses the exact same instrumental, but rather than simply dubbing the lyrics into English, new somewhat apocalyptic, yet still awesomely GAR, lyrics were written, effectively making it a new song. Also somewhat unique for an English song, it was used in the original [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|Japanese version of the show]], and has perfect grammar and pronunciation. And it is ''freaking'' awesome.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87HksnOR5B8 Assault Waves], the perfect music to have epic MS duels to.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWTJnQsGpGk Dendrobium] is amazing as well.
 
=== [[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team|08th MS Team]] ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgAqFnPl_ts Gouf Custom vs] [[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team|the 08th MS Team]]. It starts out dark and haunting... then around 1:40 goes totally epic and intimidating.
* Wait, no ''Arashi no naka de kagayaite''? Either [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_fdIEDOh_w the original by Chihiro Yonekura] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3YQsB8ALEE the cover by Masaaki Endoh]?
 
Line 30:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3yY8EncET0 Riders in the Skies], which plays during the climax of the finale.
 
=== [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|Gundam ZZ]] ===
* While ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|Gundam ZZ]]'' is a [[Love It or Hate It|polarizing series amongst Gundam fans]], you'll be hard pressed to find someone that speaks ill of its awesome (and ironic) opening theme: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Aua8LwpItE Anime Ja Nai].
* The second OP, [http://youtu.be/Xmn1pp4LUsc Silent Voice], is nothing to sneer at either.
 
Line 43:
** The third OST has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkvwkM2a39g Banshee], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBpeFTiHt9o Gundam], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EuHEpYgWA0 Psycho-field], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nTLsrHNUYw Angelo].
 
=== [[GundamMobile FSuit Gundam 91F91]] ===
* Okay, so it's [[The Jimmy Hart Version]] of [[Star Wars|the Imperial March]], but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDiTaoTcoL0#t=0m45s the Crossbone Vanguard theme] is still made of awesome.
 
Line 49:
* Fans are disappointed for many reasons that ''[[Crossbone Gundam]]'' has never been made into an anime... the kind of music the Crossbones get in video games [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebxKO3WaPk is one] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrgwOpkbRvo of those reasons].
 
=== [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|Victory Gundam]] ===
* ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|Victory Gundam]]'' may be [[Downer Ending|very]] [[Kill'Em All|depressing]], but it's first opening [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A358-QODoI0 Stand Up To the Victory] is still a bright, powerful song.
** The first ending ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTrrfMDDgsg Winners Forever]'' is no slouch either.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVO5tQgjnJw Wind Blows] is both very beautiful and ironic.
Line 66:
 
=== [[Gundam Wing]] ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1PQEZyXOl8 Last Impression] from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Gundam Wing]]''. What starts out calm turns out to be very upbeat, classical and... AWESOME. A fitting end to the AC Saga. [[Tropers/Chris X|This editor]] believes that lately this song is always the song for ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Gundam Wing]]'' characters when they appear in [[Super Robot Wars]] for a ''reason''. It kicks ass.
** "When the Dragon Swims, The World Ends" in the first episode where they introduce the Gundam pilots, and pretty much any song that uses Heero's motif.
*** [[Tropers/Amuro NT 1|This troper]] would argue that all of the boys' individual battle themes are awesome: Heero's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-7O9KvZrzk The Wings of a Boy Who Killed Adolescence]" (whose tune is used in several other songs), Trowa's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhZL8AVHPqY In the Returned Scent of Blood and Gunpowder]", Quatre's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW62qNQSK4M Looking for Peace Hiding in the Corpse]", and Duo's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_9dxjg65B4 The Black Wind Invites Death]", though the latter is a [[Wasted Song]] and only ever shows up in ''G Generation'' games. Also, the aforementioned "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNXGq8cex3Y When the Dragon Swims, Everything Ends]" is Wu Fei's theme.
*** And ''then'', Heero and Duo got a [[Mid-Season Upgrade]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuNVe_iJYlo "Legend of Zero"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI_doJ_V4NU "Hellraiser Returns"].
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa7ePqwjlVs "Zechs Comes"]... too bad only bits and pieces of it ever got played in the series.
** TWO-MIX in general is pretty good. Their other three ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Gundam Wing]]'' theme songs ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7P0phyE2to Just Communication], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4tcPa_dTA Rhythm Emotion], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0YKfhyrn0A White Reflection]), while arguably not ''quite'' as awesome as Last Impression, are all excellent in their own right. Check 'em out before [[Ranma One Half|Nabiki]] overcharges for them.
*** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBqMiCs_Do "Just Communication" Instrumental]: Played over the dub credits. The closest American viewers ever got to seeing/hearing the original TV show openings.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNePvvcVrgA Use the Cloak of Darkness], most memorable for the scene where Duo jumps a bunch of OZ mooks with the Deathscythe Hell. Much [[Sinister Scythe|reaping]] ensues. "THE [[Shinigami|GOD OF DEATH]] IS BACK FROM HELL!"
Line 80:
** The [[Image Song|Image Songs]] are nothing to sneeze either. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLZZuXinv5Y Shigeru Nakahara (Trowa)'s "Ai wa Ryuusei"], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISm0Gqe87lw Toshihiko Seki (Duo)'s "GOOD LUCK & GOOD BYE"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UPfFOYOiO0 Naoko Matsui (Dorothy)'s "Joy to My life"] are all pretty nice themes.
 
=== [[After War Gundam X (Anime)|After War Gundam X]] ===
* Even the [[Screwed Byby the Network|ill-fated]] ''[[After War Gundam X (Anime)|Gundam X]]'' had a pair of ''excellent'' opening themes: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHEWYyOGXDg Dreams]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S52QQiBGNUI Resolution]."
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j3dZM5aff0 GX From the Past]"
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WklTQKUYHiE A Great Power Approaches]"
Line 98:
 
=== [[Gundam Seed]] ===
* Whatever your opinion of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Gundam SEED]]'', you can't deny that the soundtrack was top quality:
** From the first OST are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOFYkSq40pA Gundam Shutsugeki]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOY9FBmXRBM Kesshin]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvyfEiJdm28 Kanashimi]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVEu2hOs8o0 Wazukana Fuan]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYJpcDKm6fY Heiwana Hoshi]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_3dnG4-EKk Shatei Kyori]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPcB0UGyX1I Namida]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm8Medr80js Kaisou]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Squakfyu0t4 Hoshi e no Inori]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYLaPxXwDxY Eien e no Shunkan]".
** From the second OST are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL9N-eN9aBA Akatsuki no Kage]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrbaB37PTw4 Kuuchuu Shisei]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuyLsFNUaWI Tekiki Shuurai]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQKFp4SMwgQ Senjou no Ketsui]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44l5nWeL70 Kougeki Taisei]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbGRxjPN4tI Heiwa no Inori]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fv8On2ChfU Seisen no Gishin]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk5_BYpfmS0 Sajin no Machi]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHnhmMjk6tM Kodoku]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3BDBMMV0zw Chijousen]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4pwZUCWAho Kawaki no Yume]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZzWKKpWbN4 Sentou Butai]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kC8kozA7QY Strike Shutsugeki]".
Line 105:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_LlK0S_Sc8 Prophecy of the End], perfectly summing up [[Mass "Oh Crap"|everyone's reaction]] to [[Kill Sat|GENESIS]] being unleashed.
** I'm surprised no one's mentioned [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmZtFBe0pmA Shizuka na Yoru ni] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSgknK-Ks4c Mizu no Akashi].
** Pick a random OP/ED/insert song from [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|either]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|series]], and more often than not, you'll find it qualifies for this category. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xllGfMuvDU See]-[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc3yEVZYqjM Saw], [http://vimeo.com/7073551 Nami] [http://vimeo.com/7065675 Tamaki], [http://vimeo.com/37642032 T.M.] [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6566235918644362049 Revolution] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQfNYQ4HzYw FictionJunction] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb8pqAeF-4k YUUKA]. [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9q67p_tatsuya-ishii-river_music And] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zst42m4R9Ww there's] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=277rSD7BgDA even] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPJ7yYvl_QM more...]
** [http://vimeo.com/27009599 Meteor], also known as "[[Theme Music Power-Up|Kira's asskicking music]]".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHqr0sHbYMc Moment], the second OP of Gundam Seed.
*** And then there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5QhAJtIG14 this] fandub of it. It's arguably even ''better'' than the original, if that were even possible. [[Sturgeon's Law|"Remaining 10% is worth dying for"]], indeed.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TGtdtE43n8 Theme of Rain] is tearjerkingly beautiful.
** And now with the HD Remastered Edition of [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Gundam SEED]], we get new versions of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLoolBpFjzE Anna ni Issho Datta no ni] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw-R4nqsT4M Shizuka na Yoru ni].
 
=== [[Gundam Seed Destiny]] ===
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' may have [[Jumping the Shark|jumped the shark]] about halfway through, but the decay didn't stop the soundtrack from being awesome.
** [http://vimeo.com/12277170 PRIDE] (the second opening theme) by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. Hell yes.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpJeo9nU1qk Life Goes On] is also filled with awesome, and has more variations used in the episodes than the other ending themes, I seriously counted at least 6 on the soundtracks. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc3yEVZYqjM Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru] is also excellent, and is the only ending theme to be used in the series and the Special Editions.
Line 127:
** No matter what you think of Lacus Clyne during Destiny, you cannot deny that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NkbHS7shl8 Fields of Hope] is one of the most beautiful songs ever featured in a Gundam show.
 
=== [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]] ===
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Gundam 00]]'' features a beautiful score by Kenji Kawai, but don’t just take our word for it:
** Season one gives us "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZgH4WF8oq4 Alarm Bell]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRzyM1b8zoA Intervention]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKfAXy5jwB8 Power]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lbmuP2bonk Setsuna]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHbqTuAGems League]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KnK2mKU20o Imperial Princess]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLGLBRx0ecI Seizure]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqSlPI8Lak Expectation]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tX83zi9FA Reason]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj8o1F0pI98 Fight]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCA2oxKBdHo Recover]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlSksE_IJ2I Counterattack]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLbUDyt0_f8 Scenery]".
** From the second season are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NayEpyzd2Ko Distortion]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQj5wKPwsyk Strike]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK95VeyDr8U 00 Gundam]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuNKLEcafXg Take Off]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dKcTR7KxPw Power Attack]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUnsZ2UWxE Innovator]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm90KKduo8w Restart]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLzp2Y0fdXo 0 Raiser]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI15yE3_2p8 00 Raiser]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVcy_9GqS9c Masurao]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsJR0c6_wI4 Trans-Am Raiser]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTSUjyhisYA Decisive Battle]".
