Everythings coming up roses, which must mean its time for some Utena:

And though I've always had problems with the boy-band Gundam, the opening theme is still pretty awesome:

Still one of my all time favourite anime, Urusei Yatsura 3 "Remember My Love"; the opening theme "Born To Be Free" starts at 06:25 in this clip:

In 80s Japanese Dungeons and Dragons, elves had really big ears (Record of Lodoss War OP):

Deedlit is so win :rolleyes:.

Let's not forget TV series opening, Kiseki no Umi by Maaya Sakamoto

I'm actually not quite sure where this particular vid comes from. I saw it somewhere back in college, and I *think* it was the music video for X Japan's "X", but I haven't been able to find any mention of it. It's got a good beat and the synchronization with the on-screen action is pretty good, so...

Maybe it was made exclusively for the music video...

Other than the movie and series, I remember reading long ago that there was an older OVA (I saw the animated gifs and static images of scenes that I haven't seen before). My search was pretty fruitless though because only like two sites briefly mention its "existence" and just about everyone doesn't even know about it.

Strangely, I don't see the scenes in this music video either... but then again, it was a long time ago and I'm probably not remembering them properly.

I like a lot of the songs in this thread!

I guess I'm the only person in the world who thinks the end theme to Lodoss Wars is way better than the OP.

Also surprised nobody mentioned Galvion's OP, Lovely Chaser.

The song Full Moon Light from Devil Hunter Yohko is just awesome.

I really like a lot of Macross music, here's a lesser known song from Macross II.

Another Macross song nobody knows, Diamond Calling from Macross 7.

Wow, nostalgia is the word of the day in this thread!

I never get tired of these tracks as they rotate in my playlists:

- Perhaps the most positive sounding track in the BGC series.

-One of the few good things Bubblegum Crash had to offer.

Pure Stone - From Zillion, one of the greats-the games weren't too shabby either.

- Zillion had a nice ending theme too!

- From the Dirty Pair, the original damsels of destruction.

That is pretty good!

Surprised "The Vision of Escaflowne" doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet. All, after me - "ES-CA-FLOW-NE, ES-CA-FLOW-NE... " ("Dance of Curse").

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlNHi6wgQQ...feature=related

(reminds me a little bit of "Carmina Burana"... )

...

Ahhhhrrrrg, I can't believe I completely forgot about Escaflowne..."Dance of Curse" is a great piece.

While we are at it, let's not forget the opening

Vision of Escaflowne

Maaya Sakamoto - Yakusoku wa Iranai (OP)

Here is one more I forgot about.

For the sake of completeness I listed the openings, but I consider the ending pieces to be much better.

Mobile Suit V Gundam

Tomohisa Kawasoe - Stand Up To The Victory (OP 1)

RD - Don't Stop! Carry On! (OP 2)

INFIX - Winners Forever (ED 1)

KIX S - Mouichido Tenderness (ED 2)

And for guilty pleasure, in a time before Bay-Formers there was "Hair"-Formers...

Transformers: The Movie

Lion - Transformers Theme (OP)
