Welcome to Gaia! ::

that's dubbed theme, for who don't know. <<

I hate dubbed, they translated it horriblely.
and voiceworks are whack, too

there is 22 different remix, with all different character. and they only used 8 for Ending theme...

creepy.

There's about 62 different variety of "Cruel Angels Thesis", including dubbed theme, and theme in other language, like Korean and Chinese xp

There's an English version??? That's a surprise actually... I've never heard it... then again I do have all the episodes that someone d/l off the Internet... yeah. Japanese with English subtitles, just the way I like my anime!

btw, I have the words for the Japanese version of the song if anyone wants me to post them (and I mean I have ALL of them to the 4:00 long version with the crazy guitar solo lol).

wow...english cruel thesis...i need to hear that...

This is the full Japanese romaji lyrics


zankoku na tenshi no you ni
shounen yo shinwa ni nare [2]
[Short Instrumental Intro]
aoi kaze ga ima
mune no DOA wo tataite mo
watashi dake wo tada mitsumete
hohoende'ru anata
sotto fureru mono
motomeru koto ni muchuu de
unmei sae mada shiranai
itaike na hitomi
dakedo itsuka kidzuku deshou
sono senaka ni wa
haruka mirai mezasu tame no
hane ga aru koto
zankoku na tenshi no TE-ZE
madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
hotobashiru atsui PATOSU de [3]
omoide wo uragiru nara
kono sora wo daite kagayaku [4]
shounen yo shinwa ni nare
[Instrumental] [5]
zutto nemutte'ru
watashi no ai no yurikago
anata dake ga yume no shisha ni
yobareru asa ga kuru
hosoi kubisuji wo
tsukiakari ga utsushite'ru
sekai-juu no toki wo tomete
tojikometai kedo
moshimo futari aeta koto ni
imi ga aru nara [6]
watashi wa sou jiyuu wo shiru
tame no BAIBURU [7]
zankoku na tenshi no TE-ZE
kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru
dakishimeta inochi no katachi
sono yume ni mezameta toki
dare yori mo hikari wo hanatsu
shounen yo shinwa ni nare
hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara
rekishi wo tsukuru
megami nante narenai mama
watashi wa ikiru
zankoku na tenshi no TE-ZE
madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
hotobashiru atsui PATOSU de
omoide wo uragiru nara
kono sora wo daite kagayaku
shounen yo shinwa ni nare
Translator's Notes:

[1] "TE-ZE" is the Japanese spelling/pronunciation of "these," which is German for "thesis."
[2] The word "shinwa" actually means "myth" ("legend" would be "densetsu"), but I think it sounds better as "legend."
[3] "Atsui" (hot) can also mean "intense, passionate." "Pathos" is "the quality or power in life or art of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion; pity; suffering; sorrow."
[4] "Sora" (sky) is the reading given for the kanji for "uchuu" (universe).
[5] In some versions of this song, there is singing in this part. Unfortunately, I can't tell what they're singing (there's too much overlap). I think the last thing they sing could be "ai ga fusei," which can be roughly translated into "Love is a sin (wrongdoing)." If you have any idea what they're singing, please e-mail me. Arigatou!
[6] The kanji used for the "a" in "aeta" is not the normal kanji used in "au" (to meet). It's the first kanji in "ouse" (encounter, tryst) and has more of a connotation of meeting by fate or being brought together by fate, not just meeting. (Interestingly, a dictionary I have gives the meaning of "au," when written with this kanji, as "to meet (with drama or pathos)")
[7] The "watashi wa sou" is probably "watashi wa sou omou." And "bible" in this case isn't referring to *the* Bible. "Bible" can also mean "guide book, how-to book, a book valued for its use as a reference," like in "a handyman's bible," or "a bird-watcher's bible."

I've memorised the first part of the japanese lyrics--I haven't heard much of the second half, because they don't use the version. I like the version the Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese voice of Rei) sings...she has such an emotional voice..... heart

I remember around episode 3 I wanted to analyze the opening song and the opening video that played. So I watched it, frame by frame and by time the end of the series came around, I had my full opinion/theory of what happened.

ok i got a different translation from the OST, i'll post that up later.
