This is kind of a funny ED. I’ve never seen any of these series, though it kinda almost makes me want to
6. “Link” by angela – Asura Cryin’ ED1
Another good song by angela. Many of the songs for this show were good, and this was the best one, but the only one to make the lists.
5. “Koi no Uta” by Haruka Tomatsu – Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S ED
This is kind of a nice, soft but feel-good-like song, with interesting animation to add to it.
4. “BACCHIKOI!!!” by DEV PARADE – Naurto Shippuden ED8
Yes, I even check out OPs and EDs for shows like Naruto when doing this list. For once, they had one which was not only good enough to make a list, but high on the list. This ED is just hilarious to me, even though I’ve never watched the show.
I’m not sure how I missed this yesterday (probably because I was messing around with other stuff), but Blue Drop, a show which I thought might never get licensed, was picked up by, well, the remnants of ADV films (I think Sentai Filmworks did the actual licensing while the newly formed Section23 will do the distributing).
Sentai also announced licenses for Polyphonica, Special A, Tears to Tiara, and the second season to You’re Under Arrest.
Blue Drop is a 13 episode yuri/sci-fi series which aired between October and December 2007 (see my episode reviews). Polyphonica is a 12 episode adventure/comedy series that aired between April and June 2007. Special A is a 24 episode romance/comedy series that aired between April and August 2008 (see my episode reviews). Tears of Tiara is a 26 episode fantasy/adventure series which started airing this past April and is still in progress. Finally, You’re Under Arrest Season 2 continues the action/comedy series for an additional 26 episodes, which aired between April and August 2001.
You’re Under Arrest Season 2 Collection 1 has a street date of November 3rd, and includes the first 13 episodes.
Special A Collection 1 has a street date of November 10th, and includes the first 12 episodes.
The Blue Drop and Polyphonica box sets have a street date of November 17th, and contain the entire series.
Tears to Tiara Collection 1 has a street date of November 24th, and includes the first 13 episodes, a mere 5 to 7 months after they aired in Japan.
As is the case with all the new licenses from Sentai, these are all sub-only releases.

Top 10 Anime Endings of 2009
As I did last year, here is the list of what I thought the top 10 anime EDs of 2009 were. Enjoy!
10. “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun” by Yu Kobayashi, Asami Sanada and Marina Inoue – Maria Holic ED
This was kind an odd ED, though it probably fit the series in that regard. It kind of grew on me, though, after a while.
9. “Hajimari no Asa ni Hikari Are” by midori – Shangri-la ED
I’m kind of surprised this landed as low as it did. I guess it says something about the quality of the EDs this past year.
8. “Transparent” by KOKIA – Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom ED2
Like KOKIA’s OP for the same series, this one is somewhat eerie, and as a result, fits the series well
7. “Zetsubou Restaurant” by Zetsubou Shoujotachi – Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ED1
This is kind of a funny ED. I’ve never seen any of these series, though it kinda almost makes me want to
6. “Link” by angela – Asura Cryin’ ED1
Another good song by angela. Many of the songs for this show were good, and this was the best one, but the only one to make the lists.

3. “Blue sky, True sky” by Aira Yuhki – Tears to Tiara ED1
This was a tough choice for the #3 spot, but I think this song was, overall, a bit better quality.

2. “Don’t say ”lazy”” by Yoko Hikasa with Aki Toyosaki, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki – K-ON ED
This song was a pretty easy choice for #2. The show might not have been that great, but it did have some good music.
1. “Hikari to Yami to Toki no Hate” by Ceui – Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai ED
I melt whenever I hear this. This was a no-brainer as #1 on my list.
