Top Ten Anime Preludes · 6:35am Dec 1st, 2015
Hello, World!
I'mma count down my Top Ten Preludes from anime songs. A Prelude, in this case, is any part of the music played before the lyrics kick in.
So, shall we begin?
10: Hero!- One Punch Man
Omitting the cry of 'ONE PUNCH!' At the start, this is an awesome way to start the song, immiediantly giving you the kickass beat and feel of the song.
9: When It Falls- RWBY
This is such a cool opening, and it's Prelude is no different. The piano drastically offsets the dark lyrics and fast beat that the song brings soon after, and really fits the theme of 'Everything will go to hell' that RWBY seems to be taking on.
8: Red Like Roses- RWBY
This is probably my favorite song in the show when you put both parts together, and the ominous Prelude of Part I sets the mood for the trailer it first appears in, and the overall theme of the song.
7: My Soul, Your Beats! (Yui Version)- Angel Beats
I already love the piano/violin Prelude of the original MS/YB, but Yui's remixed version in episode 3 (Or was it 4?) Is my favorite rendition of the song, and thus, it's Prelude. The slow electric guitar just sounds right to me, and that's all there is to it.
6: Overdrive- Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
Now, this may be a wierd anime, but it has one of my favorite openings ever, and this beautiful guitar melody they call a Prelude is just... glorious.
5: Shunkan Sentimental- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
This is about the best ending theme the show gives us- save for the glorious USO- and it does it's job of closing the show very well. Leading in with a sweet guitar track that also wraps up the song- well, what's not to like?
4: Crossing Field- Sword Art Online
So much nostalgia.
So much love.
3: Sorairo Days- Gurren Lagann
YEEEEEAH! GURREN LAGANN! GUITARS! WOO!
2: Sirius- Kill la Kill
Triumphant, Badass, and sounds beautiful when orchestrated, this is simply one of the best snippets of music ever.
1: High School of The Dead- High School of The Dead
Told you I fell in love with this opening!
I cannot even begin to describe how badass and awesome this is. Just go look it up on Youtube. I love it.
WOO!
Heads up, I might to a Top Ten favorite Anime Openings later.
TOO HARD TO DECIDE THE ORDER
