Let’s blow this cross-century masterpiece “One Last Kiss” goodbye.
What better strategic marketing is there than to bring Japan’s two national treasures (Utada and Evangelion) together for a collab of a lifetime? After six attempts, this really is the end of Evangelion. Her soft vocals are weaved into the film’s grand finale, adding a sentimental touch to the ending of the film, but also the franchise.
Hikaru Utada, Japan’s R&B and Pop icon makes an entry with this theme song for the movie. While we aren’t basic enough to include A Cruel Angel’s Thesis, we are basic enough to bring Evangelion into the list. Be reminded for the last time that Christianity, Schopenhauerian philosophy and cyborgs DO cross paths. 155 minutes is allocated to concluding the futures of psychologically terrorized teens after 26 years since the first release of this monumental mecha series.

If five films were not enough to help explain the most intellectually challenging series down anime avenue, here is the sixth and final film to the Evangelion franchise. Hikaru Utada “One Last Kiss” (Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time 2021).
STEPMANIA ANIME SONGS TV
Have a break from TV shows that deceive you into sitting in front of a screen for six hours and, instead, spare your poor eyes by watching a movie. However, if you are struggling to keep up with the who’s gonna say it - underwhelming season of My Hero Academia, tired of face-palming every episode of Tokyo Revengers for how useless Takemitchy is, or are currently writing a letter of complaint to the producers of Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan: The Final Season for leaving us hanging, please take a seat. This YearĢ021 is the year of the ox and generally a good year for shonen anime. While the punk-rock band was given the spotlight for the anime’s theme song, an array of up-and-coming artists have also been featured in the soundtrack ( Mitsume and Taiwanese synth-pop band, Sunset Rollercoaster to name a few). GING NANG BOYZ rocked up the toon “Shonen Shojo” meaning “boys and girls” for an anime about - you guessed it, boys and girls. Manga artist, Hisashi Eguchi, designed the characters from the anime and also happened to have designed the album jacket for GING NANG BOYZ’ acclaimed second album “Kimi to Boku no Dai-san-ji Sekai Taisen-teki Renai Kakumei.” Coincidence? I think not. Now think, “Lord of the Flies” but replace privileged white kids with depressed Japanese high schoolers with family problems and superpowers they cannot control. GING NANG BOYZ “Shonen Shojo” (Sonny Boy 2021)ģ6 students go on a psychedelic trip when they find themselves in a void of nothingness apart from their school and their fellow peers.Summer ‘21 opened with an amphitheater where Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S and HameFura X battled to their death for the top spot for: “the best comfort anime sequel with a random alphabet at the end.” Yet the battle has been outshined by the appearance of a new sci-fi series, Sonny Boy which has enchanted the otaku community simply for how confusing it is. Here is a shoulder to cry on - oh, and also a list of underrated banger songs handpicked by music writer Takahiro Kanazawa that even the junkies on My Anime List may have overlooked. Or are you simply curious to give anime songs a try? If any of that sounds familiar, no fear, you are not the only social reject looming on the web. Please don’t tell me that I’ve been the only one holed up in my room binge-watching shoujo rom-coms since COVID-19? More specifically, have you also been rolled up in a blanket or basking under your AC, crushing on 2D men, wondering why the ending song doesn’t slap as much as the opening and feeling bad about not feeling bad for canceling plans? Or have you been watching the “Top 100 anime songs of all time” videos on YouTube and sitting there wondering when A Cruel Angel’s Thesis is going to come up?
