“Ready Steady Go” by L’Arc~en~Ciel (Fullmetal Alchemist)

“Colors” by FLOW (Code Geass)
The first opening theme song to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Epic, yet emotional, it fit the complexity of the series quite well.

“Tank!” by the Seatbelts (Cowboy Bebop)
A basically purely instrumental jazz piece that opened Cowboy Bebop. Strangely catchy, despite having no words. Great rhythm.

“Hare Hare Yukai” by Hirano Aya, Chihara Minori, and Goto Yuko (Suzumiya Haruhi)
The extremely popular ending song to the first season of Suzumiya Haruhi with the dance that everyone loves to do themselves. The song is super perky, and the dance is even more so!

“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Takahashi Yoko (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
The opening theme song to one of the most popular anime of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its lyrics perfectly captured the problems of the main character, Ikari Shinji, while still sounding far cooler than a song that totally represented his fragile emotional state.

"Alumina" by Nightmare (Death Note ED 1)
Very appropriate for Light Yagami, the deluded genius main protagonist. Also, with kickass guitar tunes I can't get out of my mind.
P.S. I got LSS since I finished the series a few days ago because of this.
