Warning: First of all, this is a blatant filler post (I’m still on hiatus). Secondly, these are simply “Five Manly” themes, not “The Five Manliest” or “The Five Best” themes. If you want to bitch about an omission, keep it short & sweet (i.e. a link to the video and explain your pick through my “Nothing is manlier than ______” format). In fact, I won’t approve any suggestion-related comments that are too bitchy (i.e. any comment that doesn’t stick to my exact format). Finally, I only put up five because I don’t expect anyone to watch more than five videos in a single post, and these were the first five that came to mind.

Nothing is manlier than that 4-measure intro (used in Talk-A-Raptor 01).
IKnight is the clear winner here. I was blown away after 5 seconds:

Where’s the Kamen no Maid Guy ending song? That was the best and manliest song I ever heard in the anime world so far.I am a dumbass who can’t follow the rules, which is really a shame, because Baka-Raptor agrees that the Maid Guy ED is the best and manliest song I ever heard in the anime world so far.

When I think of manly songs I think of this band, it’s called “Cannibal Corpse” and one of their songs is called “[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwfxmjE7yD4]I Cum Blood[/url].”I hope that worked.I am a dumbass who not only can’t follow the rules but can’t get past Baka-Raptor’s spam filter.

Oh wow, a fellow Eyeshield 21 fan? You’re now my best friend.
Although I gave up on the anime a long time ago, I’m still closely following the manga, which has been swell, to say the least. Never heard of Song of Power, but I did like that insert song Be Survivor.

May 17th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
@Nagato: I know you’re manlier than that.
@Shin: You are a most reasonable man, definitely not a dumbass who can’t follow the rules. However, if you’d tried linking to Be Survivor, calling it manly, or being a bitchy flamer-troll like lolikit…

Maybe I’m just queer? (:Well, it sure sound a whole lot “manlier” than Dang Dang or even the two OPs before it.
Anyway, try this on for size, it’s an OP theme for a Sentai parody in Bamboo Blade:

That horrifying yet sepulchral truth of the periphery demographic was still safely buried under miles of ocean, lying dead and dreaming, awaiting the time when the stars were right; for some foolish marketing explorer to carelessly stumble into its endless vaults in search of riches.
The producers, having been mercifully ignorant of this stygian, carious artefact, were content to market to normal groups, like humans would. For a time, things were pure; they brought us lasting beauty.
Rock was popular, jPop a distant nightmare, nobody realized that people actually fapped to magical girl anime, and most importantly the meaning of manhood was still a question on everybody’s mind.
When did we forget?

Actually, Saiyuki one looks a bit on gay side( unless you count manly = 4 men or more!).
But then again, from manga to anime, it was expected. Looks like a yaoi op, except there are no flowers.
A shame, the manga was nice enough…. (and still, the covers had flowers on them).
