    From Naruto https://youtu.be/wHJ_Gmkj-jY

    From Bleach https://youtu.be/1lsn2tT5yTc

    From Fairy Tail https://youtu.be/KQwxKpu-HfA

    From Demon Slayer ... all the OST stuff has been pulled from Youtube! Zenitsu vs Spider, Tanjiro no Uta, Rengoku Purgatory, and most recent fight stuff.

    Thinking back on some of my favorite anime music and i can't say that i'd describe a lot of it as "get hype" music. Like FLCL soundtrack is fucking awesome but nothing i'd consider as "get hyped" music.
    Then I remembered:

    Ok all of Eureka 7's music is fucking fire, but the best OP apparently isn't on YouTube so settle for the song

    It's a shame all the sequels and movies for Eureka 7 are trash because the original series is something special to me

    Yeah, Number One immediately came to mind, especially given the role it plays in the scene where Aizen lolnopes Ichigo.

    Most of Vinland Saga's OST isn't what I'd call hype songs but it might be my favorite soundtrack and at least a few of the pieces qualify.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUjegfMjscU

    Also Rurioni Kenshin still has a bunch of fight music that is burned into my brain. (Mandatory disclaimer that the author of Rurioni Kenshin is a pedophile, but, well, he had nothing to do with the music in the anime adaptation.)

    it's partly made by Toei Animations, so sure why not
    although a very large part is done by AKOM, which is Korean - so I guess technically it's less "anime" than it's "aeni" (but the same also goes for a ton of cartoons, because south korean animation studios have done a lot of outsourced work over the years)

    It's always been crazy to me how Forces fits the theme of Berserk so well. Haven't seen the anime at all and yet I listen to the song and am like "yup this is Berserk"

    I am a huge fan of this cover of it:

    forces 1.5 is my favorite version and this will forever be my favorite performance of it

    Hey anime folks, I presume this is a good place to ask questions regarding manga??

    What are some good/great manga collections that are more-or-less self contained within their one book?

    Like I know Dragon Ball has a bunch of volumes but could you read the first volume and generally be good?

    Is that a fair assumption for manga?

    Any volume of Gon is wonderful as a one off. You can get Azumanga Daioh as a big book that has all 4 volumes inside of it. If you like horror, most of Junji Ito's stuff is one off volumes that stand alone. It's Canadian and therefore more of a graphic novel than manga, but both "Lost At Sea" and "Seconds" from Bryan Lee O'Malley are very nice stand alone works in the manga style for at least a teen audience. I don't recommend shonen stuff, any one volume is obviously part of a serialized story.

    In terms of 1 volume stories, Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto is incredible. I don't know if it's available in paper though. It might be digital only.

    In general there aren't a ton a 1 volume stories though.

    RoK just in general lately, but far too many other anime too.
    Anime: "Here is your villain. She is a tragic figure, unjustly burned at the stake as a girl for having magic powers."
    Anime: "Here she is now using her magic powers to embark on a century of bloody murder and mayhem out of vengeance against thousands of unrelated people."
    Anime: "Here she is remorselessly murdering the protagonist's mother, covering him in her blood in the process, only failing to kill him because she was re-killed by the monsters she was using."
    Anime: "Here she is remorselessly sacrificing the protagonist's brother to host the soul of her demonic power-mad crush."
    Anime: "Here she is plotting to murder the new queen/protagonist's step mother in front of everybody."
    Anime: "Here she is unleashing swarms of monsters from hell to successfully murder everybody in the castle as she watches them tear out their throats."
    Anime: "Here she is freeing the Band of Evil from their prison where they immediately turn around and start murdering each other and everybody around them."
    Anime: "Here she is unleashing Insane Prince Murderface the Immortal Hell Murderer from his prison and dropping him into the middle of a village to murder everyone."
    Anime: "Truly a sympathetic figure. Just look how saturated this flashback is, how melancholic the music is, and how big her eyes are!"
