There's pretty much no plot. A story kinda struggles to manifest about every eight episodes but every other episode is self-contained and a waste of time.

Quite frankly, I'm appalled at the lack of Trigun mentions. Now there is a Space Western with an awesome plot, especially the manga. Vash the Stampede will forever be more awesome, more interesting and just more better than Spike Spiegel.

Yu Yu Hakusho is the best written "traditional" shounen I've seen. Think DBZ but actually well done, with interesting fights and character development.

INuyasha remains an okay series and not half as bad as people make it out to be. Love me some Kagome.
Also the soundtrack is just perfection.

This song is basically a darker and eerier version of Kikyo's theme. In the anime at least Kikyo was a straight up villainous bitch for quite some time. I thus mostly associate her with this theme and not the sad one. Even still, it's just a really cool and creepy piece of music.

9. Inuyasha OST 2 - To the End of Feelings - YouTube

I've also seen this called "To Love's End". It is one of the many themes and arrangements for Inuyasha and Kagome. I chose this one in particular because of the instruments used. The basic melody is just perfect and we'll be hearing it again on this list.

8. Inuyasha OST 2 - Naraku's Treachery - YouTube

Naraku's ordinary theme is wonderfully sinister and all but it's one of those songs that only really grabs you in the context of when it's being played. Just listening to it all on its own does nothing for me. This more bombastic tune however is awesome whenever you listen to it. I'll always remember Naraku's Mt. Hakurei transformation because of this song.

7. InuYasha OST 3 #5 - Two-Faced, Suikotsu - YouTube

I simply knew that at least one of the Band of Seven themes must make it on here. It was a tough decision which one ot include. I ended up settling on this piece because of the wonderful duality of it which perfectly fits the character it represents. It's so peaceful and nice and then creepy as trout.

6. Sesshomarus Theme - YouTube

Ah for the days when Sesshy was a straight up villain... I like this because the initial bit is very becoming of our suave and debonair demon. When the muis csweels however it truly captures the overwhelming power hidden behind that stoic face.

5. Inuyasha OST 3 21 - Sango To Miroku - YouTube

This track takes Sango's own beautifully tragic theme and combines it with a more awesome, action-packed version of Miroku's theme. So...I kinda just cheated and managed to put two songs I really like on her while keeping it a top 10.

4. ) Inuyasha OST Futari No Kimochi (Two Hearts) - YouTube

I have to say it was such a pain mixing this list up so it wasn't just variations of Inuyasha and Kagome's theme. I left out such wonderful tracks as "Fate of Awakening Love". Even still, this specific arrangement has always been one of my favorites. The beginning part is pure love.

3. InuYasha Ost 1 - 09 A Difficult Situation HD (Original Soundtrack) - YouTube

This song epitomizes "inspirational heroic moment." I can still see Inuyasha first being able to use Tetsusaiga while this blasts in the background. Whenever this song plays you know Inu is gonna stop being a dumb mongrel and show us all why he is the son of the Great Dog Demon.

2. Inuyasha - Hakudoshi's theme - YouTube

I really liked when this kid showed up just because it meant I could hear this. You typically hear the first bit as Hakudoshi tended to just gloat and stand around so a gentle, eerie theme was best. But if that first part wasn't cool enough, when the song really gets going it reaches even higher levels of memorability.

1. Inuyasha and Kagome


Maybe it was too obvious? But who smurfing cares. This song is the unequaled power of love given musical form. I like Inuyasha and Kagomea ll on their own but I wold be lying if I said this amazing theme wasn't part of why I support them as a couple.


Angel Sanctuary the anime is awful beyond words. The manga however was quite interesting. Also has absolutely gorgeous art.
