Top 10 Favorite anime Openings


Recommended Posts

Not actually an opening theme, mind you... but this is one of my favorites.

Yoko Nagayama's "So Far Away in the Eye", the theme song of the Five Star Stories movie. I couldn't find anything for it except for the theatrical trailer, which has the blabbering narrator, so I found a fan-made video for it instead.

Most of my favorites are in here already...Cowboy Bebop, ROD.

Hadn't seen Xam'd in here.

Most Bones ops are quite good, when you thing about it (most of FMAs, E7, RahXephon, StarDriver)

Or Planetes. It kind of defines epic IMO.

From this season Ano Hana is probably my favorite.

The ones I could find on youtube were all mirrored...

Since we're kind of on this topic, what's everyone's favorite ending?

In no particular order:

* Ride On Shooting Star (FLCL)

Nice balls-out rocking ending!

* The World of Midnight (Black Lagoon) MASSIVE ASS SPOILER! AHEAD!!

Beautiful, haunting, and bittersweet. Absolute perfect ending to a seriously dark, yet sad story.

*

Actually enjoy this one just a little more than The Real Folk Blues. Love the lyrics and dig its gospel/rock sound.

*

Smooth jazzy vibe with a great bass line.

* Who's Theme (Samurai Champloo) (Full Version)

Yet another smooth, relaxing, chill song. Totally dig Minmi's voice on this track.

* Diamond Crevasse (Macross Frontier) (from THAT episode)

Another awesome blend of song and ending, working pefectly in harmony to send one another to incredible levels.

* Runner (Last Episode, Original Macross):

After hearing it sung by a man for every single episode prior to this, it was pretty freakin' cool (and appropriate) to hear Mari sing it for the last ep.

There's 2 non Macross endings that come to mind immediately, and again its all about the music for me.

"Lithium Flower" from GITS Stand Alone Complex. Yoko Kanno can write great songs in almost any genre. This is no exception.

"Gypsy" from Super Dimension Century Orguss. I love this song!!

Although this is some sort of Animation and not an Anime, but still it was shown on Cartoon Network. I find it cool and wish to share it here. Didn't know there was such an amazing art in Taiwan.

Wow, that was amazing! :o I'm going to see if I can find more of that, the effects, movements and detail on the dolls are incredible.

I went and saw the English opening. Oh, dear. Hip-hop? Seriously?? :wacko:
