give me your favorite anime opening(s)!

also taking endings. here are some of my favorites. (why are the best openings always the 2nd ones??????)

srry i cant get it to embed cus im a chud but i think this is my fac op for CG

Absolutely love MAISIE from Black Butler Season 5! Both the visuals and the song itself are fantastic

Also a big fan of Clannad's opening. Extremely cute song that fits the show very well.

It's the exacty opposite of an opening, it's an ending BUT I also wanna add WALTZ from Black Butler(Season 5 ending)

This ending makes me tear up every time I watch it, the fact that Yana had no hand in it is unreal because this entire ending understands Black Butler to its very core. Genuinely a masterpiece and a work that had an immense amount of love and admiration towards the series put into it

THE FIRST BLEACH OPENING

never watched bleachj but its so swag...

my choices feel a little basic lol but ive always liked these ones

Kakakakataomoi as well for me!!! The other Nichijou opening too

Typing this out made me realize I have too many favorites...

Opening 2 for Mob Psycho 100 is...interesting. My Mob Psycho OP of choice is the first one, I guess I have too much of an attachment to it (all of its OPs are good, though, of course)

...and on that note, I also really love Mob Psycho's first ED as well
(I also love all of Mob Psycho's EDs, especially all the ones in Season 2, but I'd spend all day writing if I put down all of those)

I really like Hunter X Hunter's first ED

I remember the Toonami edit of it started on the bit with all of them standing on the cliff and I thought it was the coolest thing ever

...and the same band did Parasyte's OP

Parasyte's OP is really cool, it spoils--er, foreshadows a lot of the story, and the lyrics fit perfectly with the themes the anime brings up

I have a lot of nostalgia for Bleach's 12th OP and Samurai Champloo's ED, because they both remind me of stumbling on Toonami at like 3 in the morning that one time. A core memory, that one.

Samurai Champloo's ending specifically has such a specific mood about it that I can't quite put into words.

Going back to your Rule of 2s, my favorite Code Geass opening is specifically the second version of the second opening, I love how it flashes back and forth between Lelouch and Suzaku and the two different factions at certain points, because this is part where the two start to oppose to each other

...and also Durarara's second opening, a much moodier song that fits for when the story starts to get more serious.

My entire reply could've been nothing but Monogatari's OPs and EDs, Monogatari is nonstop with god-tier openings and endings, choosing only one was hard, because I could talk about all of them. I think my absolute favorite is Nisemonogatari's ED

Monogatari also does the thing where it has multiple versions of each OP and ED that change slightly, that one is version 2 of that ED

...and then it's also physically impossible for me to listen to these last three without wanting to cry

Tbh I haven’t watched half of the animes I mentioned, it just appears a lot of bands I like got their song in them, or I discovered these bands with them random openings I got recomended on YT XD so yeah I don’t focus much on the visuals but more like, the song and/or artist (animes are a great way to discover new artists~) 

Openings:

GRANRODEO for Togainu no Chi

Wagdug Futuristic Unity for Kurozuka 

Rip Slyme for GantZ

Beat Crusaders for Beck

Boom Boom Satellites for Kiznaiver

Endings: 

school food punishment for Eden of the East (If I could choses my favorite out of this list, it’s this one)

COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS for Mawaru Penguindrum

Skankfunk (Hideki Naganuma) for Airgear (the whole OST is a banger, too)

(sorry I couldn’t embed the videos, I’m on tablet right now T~T)

embed is being weird but I love Houseki no Kuni's OP

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic has an awesome OST, but my silly little favourite is Black Butler ED1: 

mob psycho 100! thank you for reminding me of it, those openings are very very good....

Monster

but my favorite has to be the monster opening.......the haunting wistfulness contrasting the powerful guitar, it fits monster so well.....gives me chills everytime^^

COME AND SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The Dandadan op is pretty fucking sick imo

someone already said it but idc the 2nd nichijou opening is soooo fire

my three fav one piece openings, they're just so good they need their own separate list

Pre-timeskip openings are great in general, i love how most of them show the series' spirit of adventure while also showing the silliness and friendship of the mugis. I think that these openings are the maximum expression of this

Now, the other openings!

very stylish, iloveit

i remember watching naruto as a child, but actually i dont remember anything about the plot. apparently my brain decided this is the most memorable thing about naruto, gives me good childhood memories

maybe this is an unpupolar opinion. genuinely i think that gantz it's just a bunch of edgy bullshit, but the opening it's very cool at least

I'm putting three of my faves

@Cockroaches Overnight from Home? FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS ABT WAGDUG I LOVE THEM (and just anything related to the Mad Capsule Markets lel)

I wouldn't have known Kurozuka without them... 

Embed isn't working for me ._. here's my picks as someone who isn't super big into anime, but I am really really into art and animation

The original Hellsing opening, Trigun OP, Cowboy Bebop OP - These are my favorite openings (and anime) of all time because of how cool they are T_T

Chainsaw Man OP 1 - Idk why this just blew me away when it came out. The animation is sooo good

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OP 1 - Probably the best anime I've ever seen, and the opening captures it really well. My mind was blown when I finished it and the first 10 seconds finally made sense T_T

Mob Psycho 100 OP 1 / OP 2 - Soooo cool and creative, the animation and art style is amazing

JJK OP 3(???) i don't care for jjk much (unpopular opinion i know) and i sound like a broken record but the animation holy shit. It's sooo good
