* ''{{Canaan}}'''s OP, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ5_pgfTRLE "mind as Judgment"]] by faylan deserves a serious mention.

* The long, slow building intro of 'Anime/'BubblegumCrisis'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXUq4HG7fo8 "Say, Yes!"]], is brilliant.

* The long, slow building intro of ''BubblegumCrisis'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXUq4HG7fo8 "Say, Yes!"]], is brilliant.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1xYc7jmz84 "Konya Wa Hurricane"]] from the first episode is quite possibly one of the best opening songs and opening sequences ever. ''BubblegumCrisis'' set the standard for anime music, and set it very high.

* There are plenty from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. China's second song [[https://youtu.be/vsC68TBJDN4 "Aiyaa Four Thousand Years"]] is this and a TearJerker, being about China's relationship with Japan and how Japan had betrayed him.

*** [[https://youtu.be/iH7Qkvj54DE Russia's version]] even throws in his infamous "kolkolkolkol" in the middle of the full version of the song.
*** [[https://youtu.be/prIYoxeuiww America's version]] has an amazing guitar rocking in the background.
*** And nothing else needs to be said about [[https://youtu.be/6CE3lLWXBeE England's version]], which in the full version has ''freaking bagpipes'' in the background.
*** The background for [[https://youtu.be/X0A2MdR1wj8 China's version]] is awesome all on its own.
*** [[https://youtu.be/z9VATMPylPk Germany's]] voice is to die for.
*** [[https://youtu.be/AOYsZq-BUW8 Austria's version]], as would be expected, has ''gorgeous'' background music.

* ''Manga/{{Barakamon}}'' gives us the fitting [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wol-XHb1VhM "Rashisa"]] as the opening theme and the beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHCTl5V-zV4 "Innocence"]] as the ending theme.

* From ''Anime/DeathParade'', the opening theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wh8FgsEtNQ "Flyers"]] by [=BRADIO=] is rather jazzy and catchy. "Everybody, put your hands up..."

* There are plenty from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. China's second song [[http://www.4shared.com/audio/_0jseEFD/Hetalia_-_China_Characters_CD_.html "Aiyaa Four Thousand Years"]] is this and a TearJerker, being about China's relationship with Japan and how Japan had betrayed him.

* In ''GunslingerGirl'', pretty much the entire [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL9DQXrwmF4 first season]] counts as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZuOzNkz-6U second opening]] to ''{{Basquash}} '' is one hell of a song. The first opening was dreadfully boring, which made the new opening even more exciting in comparison.

* ''ArmitageIII'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cy52DulDP4 "Silent War"]] is deceptively simple, yet also the one track that everyone remembers from this show. It doesn't hurt that the scene it plays to is the [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome climactic battle of the show]], and quite painful to watch. Someone even wrote [[http://www.cjas.org/~echen/articles/spring98/02_14c.html an analysis]] of how the two work together.

* The ending theme song of ''Anime/AnoNatsuDeMatteru'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKuEIOPbyFM "Vidro Moyou"]], is simply divine.

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'s'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLPs_w-FepA "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (The Story You Don't Know)]] is a great piece when you just hear it, but [[http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/bakemonogatari/kiminoshiranaimonogatari.htm when you understand it]] [[TearJerker it's heartbreaking...]]

** One could argue that most all of the music from ''BubblegumCrisis'' is a CMOA.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1xYc7jmz84 "Konya Wa Hurricane"]] from the first episode is quite possibly one of the best opening songs and opening sequences ever. ''BubblegumCrisis'' set the standard for anime music, and set it very high.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCDSI2jBkk8 "Mad Machine"]] which is not used in the show but was a music video included in the VHS and later DVD releases should also be mentioned.

* Okay, so the ''ChronoCrusade'' anime [[KillEmAll royally]] [[DownerEnding screwed]] [[ShootTheShaggyDog the characters]] [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil over]] in pretty much every way imaginable, but the opening song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTo22QpEy5U "Tsubasa wa Pleasure Line"]], never fails to give chills.
** ''Chrono Crusade'''s ending theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rolw-K0FKrI "Sayonara Solitaire"]] also provides an amazing mood for the series.

* From ''Anime/CrossAnge''

* ''ElfenLied'''s opening theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJD9wSgAXak "Lilium"]] is one of the most hauntingly beautiful themes you will ever hear.

* ''Anime/{{Arrietty}}'' contains some wonderful songs, composed and sang by Cécile Corbel, a French-Brettone singer and harper:
** [[http://vimeo.com/45119630 "The Neglected Garden"]], the first song heard during the movie, is a breath-taking invitation to reverie and remembrance.
** [[http://vimeo.com/32960677 "Arrietty's Song"]], which concludes the movie, is also wonderful. Cécile also sang it in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzSETPPOgFM French]].
** [[http://soundcloud.com/futplayer/cecile-corber-our-house-below "Our House Below"]] is a wonderful tune.

* From ''Anime/DeathParade'', the opening theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wh8FgsEtNQ "Flyers"]] by [=BRADIO=] is rather jazzy and catchy. ''Everybody, put your hands up...''

* ''Manga/{{Barakamon}}'' gives us the fitting [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wol-XHb1VhM "Rashisa"]] as the opening theme and the beautiful [[http://musicinanime.tumblr.com/post/94838181404/innocence-noisycell-anime-barakamon "Innocence"]] as the ending theme.

** As divisive as the second season is, you cannot deny that [[http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Stereopony---Tsukiakari-no-Michishirube/91b85e7137a45e22a66b919879955a7a "Tsukiakari no Michishirube"]] and [[http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/abingdon-boys-school---From-Dusk-Till-Dawn/2e2def79567e8598e5863d4ebfed1cb7 "From Dusk Till Dawn"]] (the opening and ending themes) are awesome.

** It's a fanwork about a [[VideoGame/HetaOni fanwork]], but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYxlEq8pHNc the music in this video]] definitely qualifies. It weaves together different Vocaloid pieces together in a way which is smooth and beautiful, and the "Veneziano" measures are amazing! Which isn't mentioning the video itself and how cute and yet sad that it is.

** The opening theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwENz04T7h4 "Savior of Song"]] has a nice tune, and is in SurprisinglyGoodEnglish, owing to the main singer, Nano, who is a Japanese-American born in New York and fully fluent in both languages.

* The anime adaptation of ''Manga/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel'' contains several:

** The second opening, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtKR1L04Lug Kakusei Heroism]] is quite awesome as well.

** The first ending, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9gMJsvgzg4 "Stand by Me"]], also rocks.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGQwM0cuuqo Dark Chi Theme]] from ''{{Chobits}}'', highlights the few action sequences and manages to invoke a sense of mystical powers, suspense and a great deal of emotion all at once.

* ''AriaTheScarletAmmo'' gives us the opening, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2npYfdR2cb0 "Scarlet Ballet"]] which is a epic combination of dance music and music you'd hear in a ballet.
