Nominator: CPU (1/10)

(9, 9.5, 10.5)

[I've always kinda wanted to see this anime, but never got around to it.]

I wish I had an explanation for you as to why this song is so high on the list, but I'm just not sure. I'm also worried that it may inexplicably take first place? There were some other songs competing for it, but right now, I'm not sure they have any real shot at winning against this song.

And yet, I don't think you're going to get an answer for why.

[Later Edit: I hate to admit it, but I fear that I'm drawn to it (at least in part) because of how direct the lyrics are.

I am hurting, I have lost it all, I am losing

No metaphors, no hidden meanings, the song just bashes you over the head with blunt sadness. And while I'm sure some critics would have a lot to say about this type of writing:

Took me a while to find that clip, as I remember Calculon being the one to say that line... well, not like my memory was ever the best, I suppose.

It's kinda what I wanted right now. It's not overly dramatic/violent "I slit my wrists to release the darkness from my soul" type misery, just the exact right amount of sadness.

(And yes I know there are actual verses to the song, but who cares about those?</.<)]

[Final Thoughts: This is another of the songs that I've gone back to listen to on a very regular basis.]

=====================

Third Place [TIE]!

Lowest Ranked Song: Opus Number One (225th Place)
Highest Ranked Song: Duvet (3rd Place [TIE])

And once again, you came very close to winning, only to tragically fall at the very end--Duvet is a perfect nomination, but like Misery before it, being exactly what I wanted doesn't seem enough to win this year.
