My Top Ten Fav Anime (Series) Theme Song #10: "Chain" by Back-on (Air Gear OP)
My enjoyment of Japanese animation series is admittedly pretty narrow and excruciatingly limited … and while attempting to list my my personal Top 10 Anime Theme Songs, I realized I am woefully out of my depth hahahaha
But nevertheless, I challenged myself to list what I have heard and seen, and enjoyed - excluding anime movie soundtracks! And while my FULL list has since posted on PopcornX. THIS TOYSREVIL-Edition however, includes TOYS! Let's start with #10, shall we?
MY TOP TEN FAV ANIME SERIES THEME SONG #10: "Chain" performed by Back-on was used as the opening song for AIR GEAR. What can I say, I was in my Linkin Park-phase, and this was perfect! LOL
Having only just binge-watched the entire 26-episode series (getting unto the OVAs next, somewhen after this posting :p). On-air circa 2006-2007, my only personal connection to this manga-made-anime were Pinky:St toys, whom I now recognize as "Ringo" and "Agito/Akito"! Makes for a more "enriching collecting experience" if I recognized the characters for their toy versions, IMHO … And my toy-desire for them is STRONG … (more pics uploaded here on FB)
