As 2011 draws to a near close, all the scheduled anime has also been aired, I present my favorite songs of the year!

Fate/Zero S1 ED: Memoria - Aoi Eir
I need to press PLAY always when song ends. It's great ending.

 

[DiSa]

Hanasaku Iroha both Seasons OP (this one i'll miss it, cried like a baby in the last episodes! :O)

Terumi hope you don't mind that i also post the videos of the songs :)

No problems, feel free. Hana-iro's OPs were decent, I just felt the others were much better. No. 6 ED was awesome, OP was by a far shot to me, but nice too.

I don't use to watch openings or endings, just one time for the first episode and then I pass them, very few series make me watch their songs every episode years ago, Saint Seiya and Azumanga Daioh for example.

But for the present year just one song was kind of addictive to me:

Spoiler: Nichijou: Second Opening

 

[Azuryu]

This year I have had a lot of favorite songs so far :)

Spoiler: Steins;Gate Ending - Toki Tsukasadoru Juuni no Meiyaku

Spoiler: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Ending - Magia

Spoiler: Carnival Phantasm Opening - Super Affection

Spoiler: Baka to Test Shoukanjuu Ni Opening - Watashi de Jump

Spoiler

Spoiler: Persona 4 Opening - Sky's The Limit

And some that Terumi's already mentioned :D

 

[Terumi]

I don't use to watch openings or endings,

I dont skip the OPs or EDs, they are all the source of songs i get all year, and i also wanna respect the work the studio did for the animation, singers for their songs, and sub groups who make an effort to sub and make a karaoke for the song. :D

Normally, if the song is good, chances are, I am already bought into the show.

 

[Terumi]

Among the other ones whom I felt was really nice too. Majority are endings. Included some songs from shows not normally discussed/covered like the shounen series.

One of top in my list this year.
