I mean, I like Death Note for example, but the opening is so… “Meh”, IMO. I want something that not only has a good story but also has an Opening that is epic. Like Steins;Gate, for example.
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho-to (sp?), all op/ed performed by ACID I believe.
I love the one piece trails (not quite sure about each season)
Also Mashle and GachiakutaI absolutely love Dungeon Meshi both openings get me in a cheerful mood. Ranking of Kings also has a beautiful story and the intro gets better the more you know about the story. Both are not particularly ‘epic’ though.
The intros of Chainsawman, Heavenly Delusion and Dandadan (both of them) are also some of my favorites. Mob Psycho 100 intros (I think all of them) are absolute bangers.
Here is my anime intro playlist
Tokyo Ghoul’s OP is a banger. So is the first AoT OP.
Dan Da Dan
Aggretsuko
I haven’t watched anime in years, I’m gonna bet Cowboy Bebop still has the best opening ever.
The whole Cowboy Bebop OST kinda beats every other anime
Ok. 3-2-1, let’s jam!
I’m not sure about that, Baccano! really gives it a run for its money
That one was good too. From that time another opening that I never skipped was Michiko to Hachin.
I watch an anime reviewer that pointed out that the opening is so good that Netflix couldn’t even get it right while copying and pasting.
bada-bada-bada-bada-badow! fill basline
Also check out Lazarus!
Nobody’s mentioned the opening to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? Nobody? Come on.
Runner up mention to Kuusou Rumba from the second season opening of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, especially for any players of Katawa Crash! back in the day who will probably never get it out of their heads.
No mention of Evangelion? Weird.
So obligatory that no one wanted to be that guy…
Haha fair. Evangelion would fit the great opening.
The second Ending of Jujustu Kaisen is probably my all time favorite anime Ending. The animation is fantastic, and the song is gorgeous.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had banger after banger for its openings.
One Piece OP1 is a classic
Gintama’s early openings and endings are also really good. Pray and Mr. Raindrop are great.
Would be remiss if I didn’t honorable mention Eden of the East just straight up using Falling Down by the band Oasis (the guys who wrote Wonderwall).
Most recently I think the [Dan Da Dan Season 1 OP] (https://youtu.be/A1dnxXrpN-o) was something special! To be honest, any Creepy Nuts song as an OP goes hard. For example, I am also a big fan of the Call of The Night Season 2 OP. Those are the best two I’ve seen recently anyway!
Totally support Dan Da Dan S1. I honestly was quite disappointed that S2 did not keep up.
I would add Attack on Titan S3 (I think? The one with the war themed opening) that send chills down my spine.
Lol why do some part of them sound like Rap Music 🤣
(Wait, is there actually Japanese Rap Music? 🤔)
Rap is a worldwide phenomenon by now so probably.
Music genres usually aren’t limited to specific countries
Cowboy Bebop for sure. That jazz tune is fuckin’ killer, and the graphics are great to boot.
This guy animes. Haven’t heard of a single one of these.
You haven’t heard of the songs or the anime? Almost all of them are pretty main stream.
I forgot how much the animation for Spy X Family improved in season 2 for the opening and ending. They’re super beautiful
Haven’t heard of the animes. But I don’t watch much anime. Only the most popular, Death Note, Attack on Titan, the likes of them.
CITY soundtrack is fire! Like, all of them!
Log Horizon had an unbelievable opening and ending duo.
serial experiments lain op is based af
