The next poll will probably be anime soundtracks: which is the best? There are the obvious candidates: Noir<\/em><\/strong>, Haibane Renmei<\/em><\/strong>, nearly everything by Yoko Kanno; and some less-obvious ones: Denno Coil<\/em><\/strong>, Oh! Edo Rocket<\/em><\/strong>, Mushishi<\/em><\/strong>. What other examples are worth considering? Please leave your nominations in the comments. Links to illustrative mp3s or videos will be helpful.<\/p>\n

Note that this is about specific soundtracks and not who the best composer is. That is a topic for a future poll.<\/p>\n

I’m going to let the anime babes poll run for another week or two. I’d like to see at least 200 votes before I close it and compile the top ten. Please vote if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: I just checked that other dealer<\/a>. Although the soundtracks to Haibane Renmei<\/b><\/i> and Noir<\/b><\/i> are gone, there are still many noteworthy OSTs available for $4, including Arjuna<\/b><\/i> (the series itself<\/a> looks like toxic waste, but Kanno’s score isn’t bad), Azumanga Daioh<\/b><\/i>, Someday’s Dreamers<\/b><\/i> and Utena<\/b><\/i> (four eccentric CDs’ worth of the last \u2014 if nobody else nominates Utena<\/b><\/i>, I will). <\/p>\n

Poor neglected Eineus. She hasn’t yet received a single vote in the final round of “who’s the babe?” I’m trying to resist the temptation to campaign for or against particular candidates, but I will note that I think she has a better claim to be a proper babe than at least one who is headed for a top-ten finish.<\/p>\n
