Time to get this started

 No more delays. Let's get this thing going! I've been compiling a list of all the opening and ending themes for anime starting in the 1950s, and have made it all the way to the late 80s. Still a lot more to go, but I think it's about time I start reviewing music starting from the very beginning.

I'm interested in a few things, like how the music changes over time, singer/band debuts, animation changes, and so much more. I will be doing ranking lists for the following:

  • Season
  • Year
  • Decade
  • Artist
  • Series
These aren't necessarily the only lists that I'll do, but it's a beginning. For each, I'll have rankings for openings and endings separately. They have very different feelings, as openings tend to be more energetic, while endings are calmer.

Other things I need to do include improving how the page looks and some organisation. The image in the background is one I took several years ago in the Ueno area of Tokyo. I need something that doesn't look so busy.

Anyway, I'll be doing a lot of work on this, with an opening and ending every couple days or so. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
