Favorite Anime Opening/Ending
Bah! I guess I'll be the one to make this. I guess this thread's for bringing openings or endings to attention that you think deserve the attention. I don't know about everyone else, but I'll list my favorites, and I'll mention any great openings or endings I come across in hopes that others will agree.
Top 3 openings: (that I can think of on the top of my head) Zoku Zetsubou Sensei's second opening - I've always loved this opening. As annoying as the SHAFTness can be, I think it works great in openings. Not to mention the song's great as well. Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzoo - The song for this is so god damn catchy and addicting. I'm still addicted to the damn song. Pani Poni Dash's second opening - More SHAFTness! I don't think it's as nice visually as the Zetsubou opening, but the song itself is cute, catchy, and addicting. Top 3 endings: (that I can think of on the top of my head) Inukami episode 18 ending - Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! This masterpiece will always be my favorite ending! It's so god damn manly and awesome, that this ending alone is a good enough reason to watch through Inukami! Who needs fanservice when you can have MANservice?! Dai Mahou Touge - This is so god damn badass. There might actually be better endings, but alot of anime endings are forgettable, so this is the second that came to mind. I can't think of a third one for the list. I might put some more thought into this, but for now, those are the only two endings I can think of. For some honorable mentions: As I've said before, I really liked the Heartcatch Precure opening. I doubt it's many others' cup of tea, but it's one of the few openings I've actually bothered to download. While Nichijou bored me so badly that I dropped it before finishing episode 1, the second opening is freaking awesome. Well here's the thread. Have at it fellow anime goers! I'll mention any other openings or endings that I don't skip when watching. Last edited by big bad birtha; 12-16-2011 at 02:11 AM. |

I like OPs that have something to do with the anime/VN they're about. J-Pop singles are nice, but they rarely make for really memorable OPs.
So, most of the ones I like follow that criteria. GaoGaiGar (Yuusha-Oh Tanjou!) Sousei no Aquarion (Sousei no Aquarion) Futari wa Pretty Cure! (Danzen!! Futari wa Pretty Cure!) Mirai Nikki (Kuusou Mesorogiwi) Muv-Luv Secondary openings would have songs that really fit the anime. Akagi (Nantokanare) Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Fate/stay night (This Illusion) ... I wonder if Talon will post Sugar Baby Love?

Top 5 Openings:
Natsume Yuujinchou S3 (No TV version available on YT) - If we're to talk about what I can personally relate to in the show, it’s the music. Disregarding the lyrics, this was the song that made me curious about the series in the first place. Clannad After Story Ano Hana (Mirrored) School Rumble FMA OP4 Top 5 Endings: Nodame Cantabile ED1 Ouran High School Host Club Ano Hana (No TV version available on YT) Natsume Yuujinchou S1 Natsume Yuujinchou S2 Some honorable mentions: Bakemonogatari ED1 Spiral ~ Suiri no Kizuna ED (For a laugh, check out the shitty OP to this series) Natsume Yuujinchou S1 OP Natsume Yuujinchou S2 OP FMA ED1 Clannad ED Kare Kano ED Usagi Drop ED And of course, who can forget this? Will post other songs I like in the future, but this should do for now.

I guess I'll follow Yuki's lead with 5 entries per instead of bbb's more hardcore limitation of only 3. Even Yuki's limit of 5, though, proved to be insanely difficult. This post has taken me several days to come up with and I've had to leave some of my favorite OPs and EDs of all time out of the top five list because the competition was just that fierce. I tended to judge based on the whole package, meaning that a 9/10 song and a 9/10 video tended to beat out a 10/10 song but a 5/10 video (or vice versa). As such, you might find a few surprises amongst the Top 5 qualifiers as well as a few surprises amongst those who didn't quite make the cut. There were a lot of songs I omitted period because I knew they wouldn't stand a chance of being in the Top 5 but which I still love, so don't think that this list represents every OP or ED I've ever liked. (Far from it. XD) And with that said, here we go!
Top 5 OPs: 1. Minami-ke's Keikenchi Joushouchuu (Ayako fansub, creditless) 2. Elfen Lied's Lilium (English subs w/ Latin lyrics) 3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood's Period (raw) (spoilers galore!) 4. ToLoveRu's Forever We Can Make It (creditless) 5. Spice & Wolf's Tabi no Tochuu (raw) Honorable Mentions (alphabetical order) Ano Hana's Aoi Shiori (raw, mirrored) Carnival Phantasm's Super Affection (UTW fansubs) Love Hina's Sakura Saku (Spanish fansub) Magic Knight Rayearth's Yuzurenai Negai (creditless) Naruto Shippuuden's Closer (mirror-reversed, Dattebayo fansub) Planetes' Dive in the Sky (creditless) School Rumble's Scramble (creditless) Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar's Sugar Baby Love (raw) Witchblade's XTC (creditless) Top 5 EDs: 1. Minami-ke's Colorful Days (creditless) 2. .hack//SIGN's Yasashii Yoake (creditless) 3. Hikaru no Go's Days (creditless) 4. Angelic Layer's The Starry Sky (creditless) 5. Yu-Gi-Oh's EYES (creditless) Honorable Mentions (alphabetical order) Carnival Phantasm's Fellows (Polish fansubs ^^;) Clannad's Dango Daikazoku (creditless) Gintama's Samurai Heart (lo-res to confuse data-checkers) Minami-ke's Zettai Colorful Sengen (creditless) ToraDora's Vanilla Salt (raw) To learn more about how I came up with this list, expand the spoiler box below. Spoiler: show

Aw, you had to post your list after I came home to slow internet, didn't you? XP Nah, jk. Will look forward to listening to your samples when I return.
To clarify, my top five are simply based on how much I like the song. The visuals or relevance to the show weren't necessarily factors in my choices. I'm not even that big a fan of Aoi Shiori's TV version, but I adore the second verse when the girl chimes in too much not to include it. It probably would've been easier for me to limit OPs to three, since I tend not to like many OPs compared to EDs. Felt awkward even adding School Rumble and FMA alongside the other three just to pad out the list. My top five ED list, on the other hand, is where I ran into fierce competition. Forgot to mention Fellows, but I figured you'd cover it. XP

Wow, I'm surprised to have seen a Yu-gi-oh Ed on someone's list, though there was certainly some good songs I liked from that show and definitely don't disagree with the choice. Made me all nostalgic Talon, and now I want to watch it again, curse you.
I haven't really considered my favorite OP/EDs much, but I guess I'll add what I can muster to fit the list. Unfortunately I have so many more OPs I like then Eds.. Limiting to 5 and then filling out five may be difficult. In no particular order atm (well, except the first one in each list is the best): OPs Madlax - Hitomi no Kakera Last Exile - Cloud Age Symphony (Full Version) - Unfortunately, I find the full version rather lacking compared to the shortened version, particularly where it gets repetitive, but they're both good. Clannad - Megumeru Clannad After Story - Toki wo Kizamu Uta C3 Cube x Cursed x Curious OP2 - Shirushi (can only be fully appreciated if you see the first OP, Endless Story first.) EDs Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi - Utsusemi (Full Version Morestu Uchuu Kaizoku - Lost Child Yu-gi-oh - EYES Onegai Twins - Asu e no Namida Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Strikers - Beautiful Amulet Honerable Mention To Aru Majutsu No Index OP1 - PSI-Missing (Full Version) To Aru Kagaku No Railgun OP1 - Only My Railgun (Full Version) Toaru Majutsu No Index ED1 - Rimless/Fuchinashi no Sekai Morestsu Uchuu Kaizoku OP - Mōretsu Uchū Kōkyōkyoku - Dai-Shichi Gakushō "Mugen no Ai"/Extreme Space Symphony's Movement VII "Infinite Love" Yu-gi-oh 5Ds ED - Cross Game Maybe I'll sort through them later and make a more official list, but for now, this is what I have. Edit: Had to bump some off my list and add an honorable mention, as I've found better recently, and don't have enough room in 5 to cover everything I like.

Can we also use this thread to discuss OPs and EDs? Or is this just intended as a place for our Top # Lists? Going to go ahead and discuss this OP I found rather than make a whole new thread for it ...
Also, it's not an OP for an anime. But it is an animated OP. It's from an eroge, you see. So ... does it count? Yes? No? Maybe so? This is the opening video to the eroge Makai Tenshi Djibril 4, the fourth in the Makai Tenshi Djibril series and the God knows what number in the overall Djibril franchise. A perennial favorite of lolikons, this is a series that I've never touched with even a ten-foot pole. And judging from the girls' character designs, I probably never will touch the games. But the OP, on the other hand ... First, let's discuss the visuals and the overall presentation. One look at this video and you can tell that Makai Tenshi Djibril is a blockbuster series. This video is just incredible. Its sense of art and flair, its computer-generated visuals, its remarkable character art, the whole thing looks and feels like an anime OP, and from a rather high-budget anime at that. Aside from the way they create the number "4" at the beginning, the first 30-40 seconds of the video aren't all that visually impressive. However, right around the 40-second mark, it's clear that someone with his Ph.D in art design takes control of the helm and holy shit. This is one classy, snazzy, well put together OP! The part at 1m02s is adorable. The part at 1m12s is awesome, taken down a peg in my book only by the fact that the main girl's body contortion is, by its nature, kinda sexual and thus inappropriate for one so young to be doing. (It's like watching your ten-year old daughter try and impersonate Britney Spears. ) (Though I'm sure the target audience considers this a plus, not a minus! ) All in all, the visuals are very nice. Second, let's discuss the song. This is the pièce de résistance. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This thing is just too damn cute, too damn catchy, too damn pop-techno-awesome. I have probably listened to this song an unhealthy number of times in the past 24 hours. lol Your mileage may vary, but if you're like me, you'll be reaching for the album before long. (Hint: h t t p : / / w w w . m e d i a f i r e . c o m / and then append ? l f t i x 3 h 3 4 1 1 1 b 1 3 , all without spaces.) All in all, this seems like a solid OP. Were I into loli, this OP would pretty much have single-handedly sold me on the game. As it is, it still sold me on the OP & ED album. lol *shakes head, smiling* Who would have thought? Me, of all people? Downloading anything with the name "Djibril" in it? I bet the temperature in Hell has dropped one degree since. If you do happen to like loli, and if you also happen to like eroges, then this may well be worth investigating. I have no idea if it's been translated into English or not but given the popularity of the franchise it would not surprise me if it has been.

I remember that opening. There is an amazing Touhou version of that opening. I do agree though, it's a great opening. Too bad I'm not into brutal tentacle/monster rape or NTR or else I'd give the title a closer look. Djibril is pretty well known for its openings. I wonder how many people see the adorable openings, then become disturbed when they look at the contents of the game.

And that Touhou OP is amazing. Wow. They did a really good job editing the details in in most places. And I really love how they decided to make Meimei and Maimai into Yukari and Yuyuko. It fits so perfectly, especially if they're going to make the game feature Youmu alongside Reimu and Marisa.

Well I typically read Mangas more than watch Animes. And the few I know off the top of my head have already been posted. But I have an opening song that I just adore from an anime I've recently watched.
Openings No. 6 opening (Spell)- Normally after listening to the opening theme completely for a few episodes (if I like it), I just skip it and go straight to the story. But this one I just wanted to stop and listen to it every time. The anime is short like 12 episode (maybe only one season) but I never once got tired of it. I just love the song and the animation is a bit cute to, seeing the characters when they were kids. Though I really just like the song. Endings No. 6 ending (Rokutosei no Yoru )- I also like the ending the song is so cute I like how it contrast with the opening. The opening animation was all serious despite the catchy song. While the ending is absolutely childish with them playing in the snow and has a soft, beautiful song. Disgaea ending (Kusari)- A long time favorite ending I cannot find the actual ending with the animation but I really just enjoy listening to the song by itself. This is the first ending I just kept listening to over and over instead going to the next episode without getting bored of it. I still listen to it now. |

We enjoyed those songs from No.6 too. Or at least I did. (Not everybody liked the OP ... ^^; ) We never did make a thread for No.6 -- we were too lazy! ^^; -- and unfortunately the board lies to you and claims that there are zero search results if you try to search for posts containing "No.6", I have no idea why , but you can find the first of our No.6-related discussion posts here in our catch-all discussion thread. And you'll notice in that very post that I gush about the OP. This post is where I first mention liking the ending.
You gotta realize: (1) we've probably seen a lot more shows that you, (2) everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and (3) it's damn difficult to pick only up to five songs to list in your Top OPs/EDs list. That's why I don't think you'll find the OP or ED to No.6 making any of the veteran members' lists in this thread. However, that doesn't mean that we didn't like the songs or the visuals. Nor does it mean that, for you personally, the OP and ED to that show don't deserve to be listed in your Top 5 list.

Anyway back about music I wouldn't mind at all even if all the veterans here told me that they hated the song with a passion. Everyone is different and everyone has the right to like or dislike whatever they want. All I care is that I like it and there is nothing wrong with that and if someone else likes it then that's cool too. I have music we don't like, mine is a rap and heavy metal music with very few exception. Anyways I'll be leaving now, I don't have anything else to add that follows the thread topic but I think I'll check out the suggestion box and see what being watched recently by you guys. Ciao. |

Man, I keep forgetting to post in this thread since it's hard to come up with the best of the best when it comes to theme songs! Time to give this an attempt...
Openings: Ayakashi - HEAT ISLAND (Tenshu Monogatari arc) GTO - Driver's High Trigun - Trigun theme - This one's a classic! Endings: Gankutsuou - You won't see me coming Generator Gawl - Kore wo koi to iemashou ka - I still haven't seen this anime, but Tomato Juice! Dragon Half - Watashi no Tamagoyaki - Set to Beethoven's 7th! Honorable Mentions: Initial D - Blast my Desire - It's essentially a music video for the band, with a few clips from the anime itself thrown in. w Shinchan - FUNimation opening - Essentially a 5-second clip from this. Hey, sometimes brevity is a quality! Pokemon - Hitoribocchi ja nai - Hey, what's Pokemon doing on this board?! :P

Okay took me while but I'm answer all them in which the appeared in the thread. Now that I type them down I actually like a lot of them.
Zoku Zetsubou Sensei- I read the manga so I was little surprise to see it was also an anime. I thought the opening was quite fitting for it. Anyamaru Tentei Kiruminzuu- It just looked and sounded so cute but something screaming at me that it going to be one of those random animes that I sometime like. Pani Poni Dash- The sound okay but I also feel it’ll be like the one above crazy anime and I feel it’s going to be a girl universe (no or little guys). Inukami- I think I’m more curious about what this anime is about more than anything. I doubt the muscluar guys have much to do with the story but it still caught my attention. I really enjoy the ending with lot of manservice. Sousei no Aquarion- Catching opening, but I rarely like/stick with anime with giant robots. It does looks like it good though. Muv-Luv- Is that a dating sim game? I always wanted to play one even though most I find seem to be a boy going for girls… Natsume Yuujinchou San S3 opening- It was a lovely upbeat song. The lyrics sounded pretty and it had a nice beat. Natsume Yuujinchou S2 ending- Very pretty and rather cute visual; his future friends maybe? Minami-ke- Very catchy and the opening makes me piques my interest in the anime. ToLoveRU- I really like the song the opening visual itself has too much fanservice that makes me think I should stay away. Planetes- I’m just humming to the song as I watch and I think this look incredibly boring… I know, I know nothing about it but looks historic and history has always been my least favorite subject. Witchblade- Listen to that guitar solo at the beginning, nice drum beat. Sing it boy! Rock on! I don’t even care about the fanservice ‘cause the song is so nice but the visuals were otherwise okay. Madlax- Ooo, nice used of the flute. It has a nice, happy sounding song despite all of the guns that screams: violence, blood and death to me. It very colorful and makes me a bit curious. Cube x Cursed x Curious- There not like the harmonize sound of instruments and voices blending together helping one other; I miss orchestra class. As I was watch the beginning I was just thinking: Open eyes and switch! Then where it was the guy again I was like Open eyes and something new! Haha, the opening was interest with lots so showing off characters. Then there was the appearing and disappearing I wonder what it’s about. To Aru Majutsu OP- A little techno sound here with sound define instrument like piano playing. It started out like it a peaceful looking city to let’s fight magical powers and mythical weapons! And this silver-haired right here is very important kind of hinting at the end. Seems interesting. Morestu Pirates OP- I like how it has a bit of a classical music sound to it as well as it has pop music feel as well. The opening animation like: ‘I’m space pirate, now I’m normal girl!’ Going back and forth between too different personas of the characters, it makes me wonder. Ayakashi- The way the instruments are played makes it fit so well with the images of samurais and olden times in Japan yet still and a funky beat to it. The way voice sing make me think a bit of rap yet I really enjoy the combination of all of that; it works well. GTO- At the beginning, I was confused because I was watching a toilet flush... Cue the guitar and drums; they sound pretty good. It’s really good opening with the black and white and grayscale for most animation only using color to attract your attention to words. I get a delinquent, bad boy feel from it. Ganktsuou- ♪Won’t see me comin’~~~ until I strike!♪ XD English is seem so long since I heard you. I started singing along which I sometimes try to do with Japanese but it hard because it’s not my language. The animation was very confusing and hard for me to follow and try to understand I’m afraid but the song is awesomely catchy. Akagi- My brother introduce me to the series I didn’t finish it. The main character is frickin’ scary; just breaking people's spirit. The song is really nice though. Spoiler: show Higuarshi no Naku Koro ni- I’ve watched the series all the way through despite it being very bloody I quite enjoyed it. I think most of their opening are really nice. Full Metal Alchemist- I watch this series but I was a bit of a on and off watcher. I tend to enjoy their endings and openings, the fourth one was my favorite. Ouran High School Club ending- I just like the beat and the guitar riff at the beginning really nice. I watched it but never finished the series. Bakemongatari- I’ve watch it, but didn’t want to finish it. I like the opening for it. Clannad ED- I’ve watched all of it and I enjoy the ending song. Never when to After Story. I think I’m fine with just watching the first one. Cute Dango song :3 I saw a very cute Pikachu one posted. The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi end- With the internet memes of it, good thing I like the song. I sometimes want to learn the dance. Yugioh- though the manga is so much worst, I started off watch it. And though I skipped a good amount I remember that ending song. It’s nice. ToraDora- Like that Anime there was one melody in the actual show that I really adored. If I found it I’ll post it. I do like that ending. Clannad Opening- Sweet and rather simple make think of the show. Is the xylophone in the beginning; it’s really nice sound Listens to those string instruments: the violins sound so pretty at the end. |

Openings: Reborn! Opening 2: Boys & Girls
Chi's New Address Azumanga Daioh Steel Angel Kurumi Endings: The Tomato Juice song- Generator Gawl Dragon Half Man, I remembered more old anime openings/closings than I thought I would. The Dragon Half only being two episodes when the manga is one of my all time favorites is one of the great tragedies.

I meant to do this last season, but there were no openings or endings that jumped out at me. This season, there's two good ones I might actually bother to download.
Tsuritama's opening: This is so fucking catchy and awesome. The dance is pretty awesome too. Hyouka's opening: This one sounds very pretty, and is very nice visually. This is unrelated to my actual opinion to the opening, but it's another case of "Wakamoto makes everything better". Wakamoto doing the Nyarlko opening. |

I'm not too impressed with the OP, personally, particularly since it copies the Haruhi S2 ED effect with mosaic faces in the background. The black flashes feel sort of unprofessional; they remind me more of AMV editing. If you like the song though, you might want to check out the OP to Kamisama no Memochou.

The ending theme to Kanon 2006, Kaze no Tadori Tsuku Basho, is one of the best songs I've heard, EVEN with the out of place hip hop portion. Heck, it grew on me after a while. It's just awkward how you're listening to this light, cheerful song, then this guy suddenly comes out of nowhere and starts rapping about how you'll GET YO HEAD SNAPPED if you mess around with him! But the singing as a whole isn't what makes this song great. It's all about that techno beat and the DOO DOO DOOOOOOOOs. An unfortunate thing is that the best parts of this song don't come out in the shortened, TV version.
As for the video, well, what more do you need than Ayu running endlessly through a field? It brings me back to my youth, when I would bound through this meadow in the winter on my way to school, because I was always late. 'Course, I didn't look so damn cute doing it. It's impossible for me to listen to this song and not get put into a good mood, start bouncing around and doing Night at the Roxbury-esque head movements. It's up there with Minami-ke's OP in that regard. Speaking of which, I agree with Talon that it's really great. The ED on the other hand ... good, but not 5 star like the OP is. If you put Minami-ke's ED up against Kanon 2006's, Kanon wins easily. Damn, Kanon 2006. 2006? Has it really been that long?

Yeah! Zetsobou Billy rules. The song opens with some angry guitar riffs, which synergizes well with Light standing ominously in front of an army of police officers, as he glares into the camera. And what is the significance of those police officers facing the other direction, marching away from him? I do not know, but probably something deep. Then we get the lyric, "I am truly a death pirate!" as Light flies down (up?) an elevator shaft, and finally a brief shot of him open shirted, showing off his hot bod. Looking thick, solid, tight!

Pastel Pure, the opening to Maria-sama ga Miteru, is a personal favorite which I've found myself humming in my head these past few days following a discussion with Yuki which brought MariMite back to front and center of my consciousness. I don't think the opening can objectively compete with a lot of the other entries in my original post but like I say it's a personal favorite. I personally prefer the lyricless version of Season 1, but I know many people prefer the lyrical version of Season 2 so here it is for those of you who want to listen to that one instead.
While I'm bumping this thread, some picks from the Spring or Summer 2012 lineup ... (spoiler tagged due to length. No spoilers for any series inside, I promise) Spoiler: show
