Unforgettable Anime Themes

Below are just some of the anime themes I have heard. Zoids, of course, is at the top of the list because it is my favorite anime ever. If an anime cannot at least reach the level of New Century Zero, then this writer is not going to consider it great. Good, yes, but cream of the crop? That is something which the writers and animators have to work for.

Admittedly, this writer has yet to check out Dr. Stone and Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs. But the intros for these anime have impressed her enough that she is going to view them. She gave up on Fairy Tail; it just didn’t grab her, though the first intro theme still makes her happy.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is a solid winner, though it doesn’t rate too high on the list of best anime ever. At one season plus a movie (really three episodes strung together), it does not have a lot of room to reach its full potential. Hopefully more than the movie Battle of Unato is in the future for this series; then it might reach greater heights. But for now it is a solid, watchable anime – despite the zombies. 😛

And yes, Zoids: Chaotic Century’s English and Japanese intros are here. They both earned this spot because they are just that good. The original intro for Zoids: Genesis is here because while I don’t like the series, the theme song is darn catchy. I couldn’t get it out of my head for a long, long time. Now you won’t be able to, either. 😉

Have fun with the music, readers!

I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll All Night….

Well, maybe. Kinda. Sorta. Does waiting for midnight on New Year’s Eve count? I really, really like my sleep, people…..

But I still love rock’n’roll. If you do as well, readers, then check out the great songs. You may not “wanna rock’n’roll all night,” but you will enjoy these tunes. Who doesn’t like good old-fashioned rock’n’roll?! 😀

Catch ya later!

Hit the Road!

2020 has not been a hard year for celebrities. Among those lost, Charlie Daniels will be sorely missed by all, whether they are country music fans or not. While his song is last on the list, that does not mean he is last in this author’s mind. Last place in a collection of almost any sort tends to be the place of honor, and this time is no exception.

Rest easy, Mr. Daniels. We will miss you.

Enjoy the music, readers!

Sing, Sing, Sing!

Wow, talk about some great music! Okay, the merits of Taylor Swift’s tunes may be arguable, but hearing a couple of characters perform “Shake It Off” in Sing got me hooked on this one. It is the most recent song on the whole list. Hmm, that could be taken as a commentary on a lot of modern music, could it not, readers?

Have fun dancing to the beat – and don’t forget to “Shake It Off”!

The Crosses Grow On Anzio by Audie L. Murphy

THE CROSSES GROW ON ANZIO

Oh, gather ‘round me, comrades
And listen while I weep;
Of a war, a war, a war…
where hell is six feet deep.

Along the shore, the cannons roar.
Oh how can a soldier sleep?
The going’s slow on Anzio
And hell is six feet deep.

Praise be to God for this captured sod
That’s rich where blood does seep;
With yours and mine, like butchered swine;
And hell is six feet deep.

That death does wait
There’s no debate;
No triumph will we reap
The crosses grow on Anzio,
Where hell is six feet deep.

Written in 1948 by Audie Murphy

More Oldies But Goodies

Here are some more “oldies but goodies” for you to enjoy, readers! Is it just me, or is this stuff better than a lot of the newer music being produced by a lot of companies today?

Don’t get me wrong – I like several new artists very, very much. But they’re few and far between; music like this just strikes a better chord with me. (Pun intended, more or less.) There’s just something about these songs that makes them superior to a lot of the new noise being created now, in my opinion.

Anyway, here are some “retro” tunes to brighten your day, readers. Enjoy!
