Some of you with your keen eyes realized there was no mention of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in our Anime’s Greatest Hits articles. There is a reasonable explanation for this: Despite adoring this series, I have a really hard time watching it, and thus, have been unable to complete a total run-through in my ~7 years of ani-watching. To show that I operate in good-faith, when possible, there will be a ‘minimal’ review, not unlike the reviews presented prior, to summarize progress made. In the spirit of full transparency, I had watched to episode seven of season two; however, we’re just going to do that again!
And this is about as far as I was able to get in episode one a couple days ago! Itoshiki finds himself on cult island and tries to commit suicide! We also meet Hitou Nami!
Favourite songs, vol. 0004: A Slight Reimagining
Herein will be a copy-paste of a playlist description I’d made yesterday! Expect fluctuations in the ‘Favourite songs’ brand from here on out! It’s simple: There has been much deliberation on what makes a ‘favourite’ song, and not to mention, happenstance has led us to this point, and in so doing, it’s perfectly reasonable for things to develop, mature, and evolve, as things do.
In the future, with a new beating heart, there should be a resurrection of ‘Favourite songs’. And no doubt, there, surely, will be an attempt to explain what preconceptions, ruminations… etc., etc. Look forward to it!

As stated upfront in the description, there are going to be errors. For instance, you’ll notice I’d included a couple Poplica* songs with Syrufit. This is because of confusion, then hindsight, then laziness. Enjoy!
Shibayan’s 月齢11.3のキャンドルマジック from ココロバイブレーション doesn’t make an appearance in the playlist because of plain oversight. I’m actually pretty sure it was included in a previous Favourite songs article! Anyways…
To the musically orientated, the glaring absence of singers is somewhat of a problem to me too! On one hand, it would be cool to link up the albums to VGMdb or Touhou Wiki when applicable – and to do so now. On the other, I’d prefer to rush this article out, and then, when I’m caught up in another wave of fierce ambition, do all that hyperlinking business!
Finally, I am aware that Glory 3usi9 doesn’t technically have the ‘feat.’ part in the song name. It’s one of those things where I don’t really know how to jot down Vocaloid songs. The irony of this is not lost on me. Suffice to say, ‘Blame it on my stubbornness!’
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆～Special edit p062, 01-06-24～☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here’s a special mention for Necro Fantasia (ALR Rewind Remix) off ABANDONED DANCEHALL. The playlist has a handful of albums at the end, so you’ll have to forgive me for not ‘including’ this one as a ‘favourite’ song before!
