Pretty extensive list there, and i definetely agree that the SEED theme, angel's thesis, the outlaw star theme, and several others deserve to be up there. The only ones I can think of that are missing are Just Communications and Rhythm Emotion (both Gundam Wing)

What about the Kenshin intro? I'm talking about the first one by the way. I don't know if thats the one you have posted; mostly I don't go by the actual names of the songs. I'm glad you posted the obvious: Bebop-thats still the best. And thank you, you picked my two most favorite Trigun songs. Happy day indeed!
