The music itself has to have a bit of a catch to it in the first place… but the scene that it accompanies (example: “Akatsuki no Kuruma” accompanied both Athrun and Cagalli’s first faceoff, as well as the destruction of Orb at the end of Ep 40) can add extra ‘punch’ to the music.

As in I don’t listen to songs just because they are from a certain anime. They have to pass the bar first. I usually create playlists on the go, depending on what I feel like listening to. Sometimes I just feel nostalgic for a certain anime and I’d start listening to the OST, but there are only a few that I keep, such as Mai HiME, ARIA the Animation, ARIA the Natural, Fate/Stay Night, as well as excerpts from The Third, Nanoha and Nanoha A’s. Then I have a current playlist with more contemporary songs, such as the Pray album (OP for Gintama) and Haruhi songs. Interestingly enough, the first time I heard God Knows I just put it off as just another rock-type song. But after watching it I saw it in a whole new light. That kind of applies to the Haruhi OP and ED too. Haruhi is the exception to my usual choices.

God Knows is like a must in my everyday song list. Somehow i can visualise all the anime scenes of the song and it makes the impression all the more stronger.

Followed by everything else in random.

Kanno’s music can stand on its own, but sometimes it’s the scene where it first appears in which makes it resonate more in a person’s memory – like Torukia from GITS:SAC 2nd Gig, or Inner Universe when used with the last scene of the first season.

Like Break the Cocoon, Equal Reason and others.

somehow i didnt really like haruhi op too…
but on other hand … i really god knows – hirano aya one!
nothin wrong with her voice… although i prefer if she speak just using normal voice on tv event …

and yeah… music need to be played at least 3 times for me, to make sure whether i can like the music or not ^^
but for me… if i like the music first time i listen it, then it gonna be my new favorite music… although after mass looping i will go bored to the song…
