Favorite Anime Openings & Endings

One of my favourite openings is definitely this one:

This one is from Bobobo bo Bo bobo. I love it it!~

This ending is great too:

It's from Bobobo as well.

Another one on my list of great endings is:

This one is from Cardfight!!! Vanguard.

..actually, that's my entire list. I'm not really into jpop (..yet?)

 

Well, of course I'm going to have to throw in my favourite two openings from KHR.. the 4th and 8th opening respectively.

Mostly it's the songs I absolutely adore, and maybe a part of my love comes from the fact that it's my favourite anime.. Hint hint please go watch it you will have my eternal love

 

When I think good OPs and EDs Gundam is the first thing that normally comes to my head even though gundam has barely any real 10/10's

But once in a while you have god tiers like this one: https://youtu.be/WH3m3c8SZCg

An unholy blend of the right song, the right scenes all at the right time.

Namida no Mukou, while being something that just seems like overexaggeration of some teen girl's heartbreak (Commom theme of stereopony songs with teen love and shit) just seems to snap in place for 00 for its secondary, and more obvious, "living is its own battle" message in the 1.5 minutes of the lyrics used. Melodrama with an attitude, Stereopony's raison d'etre, also belongs in a show like 00.

It was fate for it to be the 2nd opening too, after most of the character (re)development episodes and onto the more intense showdowns, like the one hinted between Bujin mask susano-o weebus akerus and Sweatsuna. The hand that setsuna reaches out too is also my favorite aspect of the OP that's not exactly a convoluted metaphor on its own, but also smart. (Not confirming that the hand is anybody's, but my take is that's innovator setsuna's hand reaching out to the current setsuna)

I also love stereopony to a fault, so there's that too.

 

Angel Beats has a great intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1To2M7ugm0
But my favorite is Elfen Lied, it does contain some mature content so I wont link it. I love the song a lot and the visuals are fantastic

 

jojo openings are the best things visually and musically

i don't know how i went so long without seeing it

 

Yeah this but like they hurt my eyes too with that unholy amount of detail

They didn't do those overdetailed intros in Part 4 and I'm slightly disappointed with that but it's not like they'd find that buff man overglorifying cg opening sequence fitting on CRAYZEEEE NOIIIIIISY BEEEEEEEEEZAAAAAH TAAAAAAUUUUUNNNNNN


The Mararu Penguindrum openings are also their own kind of high-tier; I don't like Boys, come back to me as much as I do Nornir though

 

The first Turn A Gundam opening is my favorite of all of course influenced by being my favorite anime, but its just great on its own. Was the last Gundam series to my knowledge that used hand painted cels instead of digital ink, and I don't care for how digital ink made things look, hand painted cels superior! They just have so much more character.

The second one isn't bad either, I like the catchy song million like.

For endings mostly like this one, it's so nostalgic I saw this a lot as a kid. Quality stuff

Yeah I know, with Dusty it's Gundam Gundam Gundam, but hey that's my niche with animu. Here's an opening that I adore, coming at you from the year 1991. Listen to that jazzy sax, just awesome, and dat hand painted cel animation. I dig this a lot. That saxophone and the beats are just so early 90s and sound great. I implore you take a listen even if you don't care about Gundam too much.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders first opening is hands down my favorite. Stand Proud is great. I honestly don't have a favorite closing.

 

A pretty lame one because almost everyone has probably seen it, but I really do enjoy the Dragonball Z Kai english dub opening. It's so upbeat and I don't know it fits so well.

Also, another favorite of mine is the first intro of Fairy Tail. Snow Fairy.

These I like and I plan to re-watch the series in the coming weeks, Mobile Fighter G-Gundam from '94 is a really fun Gundam series about what if in the the world government was decided by Gundam fight tournaments with nations being represented (kind of like Olympics) every four years. The art in this is so beautiful to me, First opening is pretty fun, I like the random English words thrown in there

FLYING IN THE SKY
I GET A CHANCE!

I like the second as well nearly as much.

And for one that isn't Gundam and probably really familiar, the opening to The Johto Journeys. This is extremely nostalgic for me, even more so than the original series, because it was around this time Gen 2 where I discovered and came to like Pokémon.

there are so many awesome openings which I love so much, but I guess this opening, has been so awesome

as for my fav ending, there aren't a lot I like, but this ending is so epic, I even sang it on the anime convention this year.

Sacred Seven Opening 1

Shippuden Opening 13

Noragami Aragoto Opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oFTHxkOzjE

 

Though not the most nostalgic one for me, this is by far the best English opening for any Pokémon series to date as far as I'm concerned. I love it.

Also have to pay respects to this. I haven't watched much of this OG yet but I plan to. This is almost 40 years old now coming from way back in 1979. The animation quality for the time is great and shows the kind of care I've come to expect from Sunrise. Music is definitely a product of its time and great for it, love that funky 70s sound. Original Gundam is one of if not the grand-daddy of the entire mecha genre. It doesn't get much more classic and retro than this right here.

GUUUUUUNNNDAAAAAAAAAAMUUUU GUNDAMU!

 

Oh boy, there's so many good openings. Some of my favorites include: SoulEater OP 1 "Resonance", Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OP 1 "Again" and the Boku no hero academia OP "The day".
​But the one that absolutely deserves being posted here is "Genesis" from Dimension W. Not only is the song great, but look at those dance moves XD
https://youtu.be/9Cqzz88jrxY

As for endings, I don't have a lot of favorites there. The most notable ones are Madoka Magica's ending theme "Magia" and also Dimension W's "Contrast".
But most recently I've really enjoyed the ending theme to Flip Flappers and the art style in it is adorable XD

A beautiful ending to my all time favorite anime. I usually don't pay near as much attention to endings but this one is a standout with favorite anime bias
