Anime Openings
-
It's just too good. And here's another opening so 80s it hurts.
-
Really love anime OP so I name a few that currently comes to mind.
Digimon Adventure - Butter-Fly Rest in Peace Kouji Wada. He really made awesome OP that got me hyped
Street Fighter II V - Kaze Fuiteru I just love the song
Inu Yasha - Grip! Was really into Inu Yasha back then and this theme stuck with me
Detective Conan - Magic Only stills unfortunately but her voice is so beautiful and fitting for the song
Detective Conan - Shoudou the series have some amazing artist and one is the band that made the Dragon's Dogma OP
Blue Exorcist - Pride
Full Metal Panic!: The 2nd Raid - Minami Kaze
The Secret of Blue Water - the 1st and my favorite GAINAX series.
Baccano - Guns n' Roses Very upbeat music and love theway they link pictures to other scenes like their other series DRRR!
One Piece - Kokoro no Chizu My favorite ark of the series
-
Here's a few of my favourites, I hope that even if you arent familiar with the animes, you'll check them out
Blue Gender Rare occasion where I prefer the dub OP
-
These are so goood
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OP1
Attack on Titan
Evangelion
Soul Eater OP2
Tokyo Ghoul's first opening is beautiful even though the anime's not that great compared to the manga, same with Deadman Wonderland
91 Days (haven't seen the anime yet tho)
Psycho Pass2
-
@Blueturtle 91 days is a great anime to match that great opening. And Papermoon is amazing.
-
You guys are making me sad. Their openings were so good, I wish Psycho-Pass' season 2 and Soul Eater's ending were more... conclusive.
Anyway, Soul Eater's first opening is also great. It has some amazing animated sequences. I like how it doesn't shy away from showing Maka as this just awful rage monster, as opposed to making her all kawaii for kawaii's sake.
-
I only really came here to post Durarara!! and Baccano!'s openings but I've been beaten to the punch on them. Excellent OPs, those.
Some other great ones though are TTGL's and Yu Yu Hakusho's (English version just due to nostalgia honestly.) A much more recent example that comes to mind is Osomatsu-san.
And just because they don't really get enough recognition I'll also mention a few anime ending themes that are really good. Polar Bear Cafe has a lot of amazing ones, though I can't find the actual videos for them on youtube. While you can look up the songs the video just adds so much more with how they're all done. If you've seen Osomatsu-san (animated by the same company I believe) you'll know what I mean. Another great one is Daily Lives of Highschool Boys because it's just so stupidly funny.
-
@DeweyDTruman I totally forgot about TTGL, it has a great opening and such a beautiful story. Definitely one of my favorite.
-
SPOILERS HERE!!!!
This is one that I remember the most just because... well, it hits so many emotions. Naruto is definitely a series that has had many ups and downs, but at least this exists.
-
Here are some of my recent favorites
Disclosure: These are not youtube links. They just open the video in your browser.
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
Kiznaiver
Space Patrol Luluco
Tanaka-kun is always listless
Sakamoto desu-ga
-
@PrinceofTheUniverse Sakamoto is amazing! Same with Tanaka.
-
I really hate anime openings for the first 5 episodes of a new series, because they are always riddled with spoilers. I don't want to know every character that's gonna appear in the first 10 episodes. Openings that I actually liked were
Baccano, because it didn't really spoil anything and it felt more like the actual introduction to the characters
the first opening of attack on Titan was great because it captured the vibes of the anime perfectly.
soul eaters first opening is great because the animation just wows you everytime you watch it
the best opening is still no opening. The only inherently good thing about them is that they're always 1:30 long and therefor easy to skip.
-
I hate myself a little bit for this one, but The Idolmaster's opening is really quite good.
Also the first that always come to mind for me are always
The latin american version of Digimon
and
This last one basically defined generations of Latin american kids.
I could probably come up with others I prefer, but these ones are the first that I always think about.
-
I've been rewatching Gad Guard lately, and the OP for that is really rad. Originally caught episodes here and there on satellite tv years and years ago. Trying to finally watch through the series in order and see every episode now. The whole series is on Youtube thanks to Funimation being generous.

I could name a million of these, so maybe I'll drop chunks at a time? Sorry if you've seen me mention some of these elsewhere on the forums before.
Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi OP 2
One of my favorite OPs of all time for an underrated show.
Seto no Hanayome
Extremely playful opening for the best goofy comedy anime I've ever watched.
Kino no Tabi
A girl goes on a philosophical journey through dangerous lands with strange customs on a talking motorcycle.
Arakawa Under the Bridge
Second OP is nice too, but this first OP is extra special.
Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
Catchy OP for a show with a vastly superior English dub to the original.
The World God Only Knows
Sticks with me. Look up the crazy long full OP song for a journey.
Log Horizon
Trash OP music, but trash you'll be singing along to after you get into the series.
Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
This and the ED make watching this a nonstop tearfest.
Collection of Key Anime Openings
Cheated, but I don't want to have to pick between them. They're all excellent.
-
I'll will post two from the same show. It's an oldie but a good one and it always got me hyped. Even with filler episodes where a match was not going on. Especially the 2nd Opening.
-
Reviving this topic since we have the Ending topic going right now and people might want to post more OPs. Also, a certain song came up on my playlist and reminded me of an OP too good for the show it was attached to, or rather the show itself didn't live up to the potential it had.
Kyousougiga
I'll just post afew more good ones while I'm at it. Always liked what they did with this show's OPs.
Tower of Druaga OP 1
So last post I made I included an OP from a comedy show involving mermaids. Turns out I have another of those that deserves to be shared. Just don't expect the actual show to be as good as Seto no Hanayome.
Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san
Long anime about some high schoolers pursuing their dreams of becoming manga artists.
Bakuman
This will always be a powerful opening, fitting for material it is accompanying.
Bokurano
Alright, if you decide to watch this next show, you just have to trust me and look nothing up beforehand and don't drop it no matter what. If you can't do that much, don't bother with it.
Occult Academy
This title is about a family of shapeshifting Raccoon Dogs. Don't let the first episode weird you out.
Uchouten Kazoku
I pretty much ended last time with a video of a batch of OPs from different KEY VN anime adaptations, so I got a pretty good idea of what to put in it's place this time. Here's three openings from the same show as it builds into the culmination.
Working!!+'!!+!!!That's all for now and probably for awhile as everything else I'd want to share has been nuked or is a little too graphic/potentially offensive for here.

Shokugeki No Soma/ Food Wars opening
I'm into cooking. I like the theme. There's food in it.
Youtube Video
-
Not a single ally mentioned this classic yet! :D
Still gets me pumped anytime I hear it.
-
I think it's a bit abnormal but the Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis opening is one that I never skipped.
-
I've very recently fallen in love with Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and it's lovely opening. I can never skip it.
