What's Brynhildr In The Darkness about?

Snagged from Wikipedia... Too lazy to summarize it myself. It wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to suggest. I mainly just liked the opening music. Might be worth a one time view at least.

Ten years ago, Ryota Murakami along with his childhood friend Kuroneko set out to search for signs of alien life. Although Ryota is skeptical about her theory, Kuroneko insists that aliens are real. During their search, a tragic accident occurs which gravely injures Ryota but kills Kuroneko. Since then, he has been continuously staring at the night sky in order to prove that aliens exist, and also to fulfill Kuroneko's dying wish.

Presently, Ryota is a top student at his school. Then, he gets the shock of his life when a new transfer student named Neko Kuroha arrives in his class. She bears a striking resemblance to Ryota's dead childhood friend, although she dismisses the fact as bluff. Ryota later notices something amiss about Neko. She manages to ace a difficult test to transfer into and doesn't know her multiplication tables. In addition to that, she possesses inhuman strength and strange abilities. She can even predict when someone is about to die. It is then revealed that Neko is a witch who escaped from an alien research lab.

After displaying superhuman strength in saving his life, Ryota becomes a part of Neko's life, learning more about her past and about the hidden forces that exist in the universe. As he sinks deeper and deeper into a world of magic and artificially created witches, Ryota must allow his unique, scientific mind to accept the fact that Neko possesses a special power which some forces will stop at nothing to get a hold of.

I have a ton but just to name a few:

History Maker - Yuri On Ice


Ready Steady Go! - Fullmetal Alchemist


Hikaru No Go - Get Over (I really love the other themes and end themes of this show, but I didn't want to go overboard)


To All The Dreamers - Yakitate!! Japan - (The 'dancer' looks like one of the characters in the show, but not the main character)


Namikaze Satellite - Naruto (I really love this song, so much that I am posting the full version. I love the music, melody, and I LOVE the bells)


Oh Edo Nagareboshi - Oh! Edo Rocket (This theme is.... interesting XD) (But I couldnt find the op with english subs)


Innocent - Digimon Frontier (It's interesting, my 2nd least favorite Digimon season has my favorite theme. I can't explain why it's my favorite, but I really really love the music, the instruments, and the feel of it. It takes me back to when it was new.)


Sakura Kiss - Ouran High School Host Club


....Believe it or not, I did hold back XD

As a rule, I do not read summaries from Wikipedia. First, I do not trust them as a reliable source on anything. (No or little fact checking.) Second, their plot summaries usually contain more than a few spoilers.

History Maker - Yuri On Ice

Maybe I should post this in Wikipedia:

Professional hit man Yuri crosses the mob, so they put him on ice.

What to you think?

LOL!!!!! That's awesome! XD

[Digimon_Sommelier]

You really can't go wrong with the English dub theme for Sailor Moon!

[Happyblossom]

There's too many that I love but this song I had automatically memorized just by hearing this a few times on tv even before I started watching anime properly


This one I like partly for the stupidest reason: my crush was humming this.

I never even got to the second season of Fairy Tale. I barely got through the first!

[Blackmagezero]

I enjoyed the ending song to claymore.
