This decade will be split in two episodes as well, because there’s so much to listen to from completely different backgrounds, genres and artists, classic and new ones! This decade is also called as the golden age of Isekai, but we have just one... and a half, probably! Anyway it’s not my favourite anime genre, so it’s understandable. Forgive me, please! In this episode we´ll hear: Madoka Magica - Connect (ClariS) Nichijou - Hyadain no Kakakata Kataomoi-C (Maeyamada Kenichi) Sword Art Online - Crossing Field (LiSA) Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - Jojo Sono chi no Sadame (Tommy) Kill La Kill - Sirius (Eir Aoi) Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Battle Tendency) - Bloody Stream (Coda) Shingeki no Kyojin - Guren no Yumiya (Linked Horizon) Nanatsu no Taizai - Netsujö no Spectrum (Ikimono-gakari) Haikyuu - Imagination (Sypair) Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Stardust Crusaders) - Stand Proud (Jin Hashimoto)

The 90s looked far away when we looked back in 2005, so in this part of the decade we will hear as openings really different sounds, like darker rock, cheesier pop and, why not, some folk. A few seiyuus were also confirming themselves as singers, abandoning the voice acting eventually and focusing on their musical carreer. And anime itself went to a darker stage on genres and topics, while 3D animation was claiming its place in the game. In this episode we´ll hear: Saint Seiya - Pegasus Forever (Marina del Ray) Nana - Rose (Anna Tsuchiya) Deathnote - The World (Nightmare) Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu - Bouken Desho Desho? (Aya Hirano) Code Geass - Colors (Flow) Nodame Cantabile - Allegro Cantabile (Suemitsu & The Suemiths) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Sorairo Days (Shoko Nakagawa) Soul Eater - Papermoon (Tommy Heavenly6) Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Again (Yui)

The new millenium arrived and japanese animation shifted to new genres while classic franchises like Gundam or Dragon Ball were still the most watched animes. Also, new artists appeared in the Anisong scene with powerful songs that made them well known. In this episode we´ll hear: Inuyasha - Change The World (V6) Digimon Tamers - The Biggest Dreamer (Koji Wada) Naruto - Haruka Kanata (Asian Kung-Fu Generation) Gundam SEED - Invoke (T.M. Revolution) Fullmetal Alchemist - Melissa (Porno Graffitti) Elfen Lied - Lilium (Kumiko Noma) Beck - Hit In The USA (Beat Crusaders) Rozen Maiden - Kinjirareta Asobi (Ali Project) Basilisk - Kouga Ninpouchou (Onmyouza) Paradise Kiss - Lonely In Gorgeous (Tommy February6)

New anime genres start to get successful and so their opening songs. Also, a new way to create openings appears: asking modern pop/rock bands to compose them, so the quality of openings and the number of them increases! In this episode we will hear: Sailor Moon - Moonlight Densetsu Dragon Ball - WE GOTTA POWER Slam Dunk - Kimi Ga Sukida To SakebitaI Magic Knight Rayearth - Yuzurenai Negai Gundam Wing - Just Communication Neon Genesis Evangelion - Zankoku No Tenshi No THESIS Slayers - Get Along Kenshin - Sobakasu Slayers Next - Give A Reason Kenshin - Kimi Ni Fureru Dake De Slayers Try - Breeze Cowboy Bebop - Tank! Card Captor Sakura - Catch You, Catch Me One Piece - We Are! Digimon - Butter-fly 

Japan in the 80s was transitioning to a new era in multiple terms, and a new aesthetic appeared and sublimated into the pop culture, touching anime itself and its music. In this chapter we'll check how the tradition on the openings from the past decade moved along and mixed with new sounds: Super Dimension Fortress Macross - Macross Space Cobra - Cobra Fist of the North Star - Ai Wo Torimodose Touch! - Touch! Dragon Ball - Makafushigi Adventure Saint Seiya - Pegasus Fantasy Kimagure Orange Road - Kagami No Naka No ACTRESS Saint Seiya - Soldier Dream Ranma - Jajauma ni Sasenaide Dragon Ball - Cha-La-Head-Cha-La Patlabor - Sono Mama No Kimi De Ite I hope you like the new format of Podgaku, please write me at my email podgaku@gmail.com or mention @podgaku in your twitts!!

Music and anime have been linked since the earliest days of animation, and openings have been usually the first attempt to get audience's attention, so usually they were really intense songs with catchy melodies and upbeats. In today's episode we'll cover my favourite openings from the 70s, and we'll hear the opening songs of these animes: Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman Mazinger Z Devilman Cutie Honey Uchū Senkan Yamato Candy Candy Lupin the III Kidō Senshi GUNDAM VERSAILLES No Bara I hope you like the new format of Podgaku, please write me at my email podgaku@gmail.com or mention @podgaku in your twitts!!
