The Review!
3 out of 5

This CD comes packaged up for the consumer in the classic CD jewel case. Included in the packaging is an informative insert with nine pages. The first two pages are an introduction to anime. Each page after that features a listing of the song title (all in order of played on CD), a listing of the series it came from, a listing of what anime studio it was produced by, a listing of release dates in Japan as well as America, and a short synopses of each series. The last page has the full song tittle list.

A throw back to the olden days of Anime, this collection has song titles from many of the classics we all grew up on. With great themes songs ranging from Astro Boy to Macross Plus there is something on this CD for everyone. Not a instrumental in the bunch, and even some of the original English versions of the theme songs that just leave you feel like a kid again. Of course not all the tittles are theme songs, some are those fun songs that you couldn't get out of your head from those older series. Who can forget, "Here He comes, Here comes Speed racer" This CD bring me back so far, that I forgot how to be an adult for a few minutes, unfortunately it was only for a few minutes. However, if you've ever wanted to quit being an adult for a while, this CD is a great way to start.

Fangboy says...A real nostalgic mix, brings back the good old days!
