  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Another proof of Japan's excellence in weird and catchy things. You'd think not being able to understand Japanese would help, but nooooo...

Looks like almost all anime has at least one piece of music tailored to be an earworm, as a huge amount of them succeed. If you don't remember about a music featured in a series, you usually don't remember about the series at all.

Helpful Tip: Don't just leave some Japanese lyrics and a YouTube link; naming the series is much preferred. Additionally, YouTube videos have a tendency to disappear, and then nobody will get to have your song stuck in their head... and you wouldn't want that, would you? Consider using Rutube, with an online translator (such as BabelFish) if you need help navigating the site; quality will suffer, but as copyrights in Russia are rarely enforced videos on RuTube will not go down.

90% of anime theme songs. Specific examples are below:[]

    • The former would be Inner Universe, which can be heard over here.
    • The latter would be Rise.
    • Lithium Flower, S.A.C.'s first ending is pretty damn catchy, too.
    • I Can't Be Cool.
    • "Living inside the shell"
