When I saw the poll was for best OST, I thought it had to be limited in some way--best OST this year, maybe, or best OST composer? But Best OST of all time!? You've got to be kidding me! That's way too hard, even with 5 choices.
Sooo....well, Cowboy Bebop is an obvious choice, and I'm not the biggest Trigun fan, but it had a good soundtrack. I liked the soundtrack of the first few seasons of Bleach so much I wrote about it in the AnswerFans column in ANN (mostly for the insert song "Number One" and those OP&EDs. Not sure if the whole OST holds up). The underappreciated Kyousougiga had a fantastic, whimsical soundtrack that really added to the wonder of the show. I agree with an earlier poster that the original Fullmetal Alchemist had an amazing soundtrack with its choral music. So those would be my 5, as a music lay person (I can't play instruments or read music, I've never taken a music theory course, although I'd like to) who doesn't always notice the power or importance of a good OST. |

When you mean brothers do you mean like brothers in arms or ACTUAL biological brothers? Never would have known that Kenshiro and Raouh were related. As for Dragon Ball Z, you can't help but run into someone who's related stopping by Earth to kick Goku's A$$.
As for the old poll didn't expect 'Akame ga Kill' to be on the most hated anime list of 2014. But guess what I didn't see on that list was 'Rage of Bahamut' and 'Garo'. Interesting. So folks loved it! YAY. Now as for the new poll what was the best anime OST. Well, for me my top 5 would be Giant Robo Revolutionary Girl Utena Neon Genesis Evangelion My-Otome So why did we put My-Otome and not HiME. And what's with these double entries? If you're going to do that then both should have been listed. Attack on Titan No Ghibli, what kind of list is this? |

'Sprited Away' and 'Princess Mononoke' are right there if you look. |

I saw that but I should have worded that better. But hell, no Castle in the Sky, no Kiki, no Totoro? So my choices are limited. I'm shocked they even put Giant Robo or Bubblegum Crisis on the list. Not meaning to nitpick but this list could have been better in the sense that in one entry you have the Romanized spelling for Attack on Titan, and then listed again alongside Gundam and then have Attack on Titan at the top spelled in English. If you're going to do a poll list then it be best to check for these types of errors. |

That actually could be because they are so under-watched that nobody even know about it. I just a test on a group of average anime watchers on facebook using a page called animetrending. When posting a picture of an anime say Tokyo Ghoul, it generates thousands and likes and hundreds of comments and shares. While when a post for Rage of Bahamut and Garo are posted. The top they ever gotten to was less than 100 likes and 10 comments. So you see, the average watchers only tend to watch what the common mobs told them to watch rather than actually going around to watch other stuffs to see what they could/could not like.

Hmmm... that makes sense. Never thought of it that way since I usually base follow people that pick like their top shows their watching. But I could have never have thought they didn't get a blip. But hell there was quite a bit of buzz on Akame ga Kill as well as a few others but didn't expect it to be on the crap list. Parasyte was pretty new but that's got quite a bit of attention. But SMC, well that's been making folks cry. I was hoping they could see it through. I guess whatever is driving the hot property good or bad gets mention. But thank for that little tidbit. I'm take a look. |

spoiler[A another good example of this would be Edward vs Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist (the first anime). Obviously this is spoilerific but this would qualify]

^@ HeroicRebellion
You need to give some kind of hint about what is hidden under the spoiler tag, so that people can decide if they want to read it. Since I did read it I know that it is about Fullmetal Alchemist. That, by itself, is not a spoiler. |

spoiler[ Envy being Edward's half brother, that's not a spoiler?] |

That may be a spoiler, but the fact that the show is Fullmetal Alchemist is not a spoiler because people will not know who the characters are until they read the spoiler. My point is that you need to tell people something about what is hidden so that they can decide if it is safe for them to read it. In this case you have to tell them what show it is. |

More specifically, this applies only to the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime and not Brotherhood.

I know this late reply isn't going to do anything in particular, I just want to correct the misconception. By popularity contest I didn't mean it in term of the OST itself but that the more obscure shows basically have no chance even if they have amazing OST. |
