I've never seen Magi before.

It's pretty catchy

I get FMAB opening vibes from it

@wushu59: Magi is really good I recommend it

@thegodmadara:

I've watch some of Nux Taco's youtube videos talking about the characters but never actually watched an episode

I'll get around to it sooner or later

Yeah, she is.

She actually has a lot of anime covers on her channel.

These are a few that come to mind. There are honestly too many to list.

Behold

True Greatness

Also love the classics, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Neon Genises.

Ready for some cringe? lol

I actually like his one

Favoorite JoJo's and FMB opening

@gelato_exotic:

It's even included in the DVD intros lol

I use to own a copy

I feel like using anything from Bleach, Naruto, YYH, etc. is too obvious...

I could easily do a list of 50 OPs and EDs (in fact I think I did back when Anime Vice was still a thing), but here are a few noteworthy selections not mentioned already.

And a few were the video was just okay, but I really like the song:

• Nodame Cantabile's OP: "Allegro Cantabile" by Suemitsu & The Suemith [music video]
• Full Metal Panic's OP: "Tomorrow" by Mikuni Shimokawa [music video]
• Magic Knight Rayearth OP: "Unyielding Wish" ("Yuzurenai Negai") by Naomi Tamura [music video]
• Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko [aka Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl] OP "Os-Uchuujin" by Erio wo Kamatte-chan [music video]
• R.O.D. the TV (Read or Die TV series) OP: "R.O.D." by Y K Z, arranged and composed by Hideki Tanaka
• Naruto OP# 2: "Haruka Kanata" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation [music video]
• InuYasha OP# 4: "Grip!" by Every Little Thing [music video]

• Ah! My Goddess OP: "Open Your Mind (Chiisana Hane Hirogete)" by Yoko Ishida [music video]

Side note: I wanted to include Baccano's OP "Paradise Lunch" by Gun's & Roses (not that G&R) but the videos are no longer available on YouTube as Bandai Namco has blocked it on copyright grounds.

These two openings are among the best anime openings ever. They have already been mentioned in this thread, which shows how great they were.

This one is epic

Masterpiece, my favorite of all time

Of the one's I haven't seen listed so far these have gotta be some of my faves:

OOooooooH

Hunter x Hunter!

That reminds me.

This is my favorite Hunter x Hunter OP from the 1999 version

It's gives off Dark atmosphere vibe / grunge rock feel

It fits the arc perfectly!

@wushu59: I need to finish my watchthrough of the original. I just rewatched the 2011 version for the third time recently. One of my favorite shows of all time. Up there with NGE, Berserk, LotGH and Breaking Bad.

And here's the full version

I actually prefer the original asides from the beginning portion

It took me 6 episodes to really get into it

But after that, it was smooth sailing

The filler arc involving the ship/storm trial was really great as well

It had really great scenes of Kurapika, the monk guy and even Hisoka & Illumi working together

@wushu59: That's actually a decently popular opinion I've found. Similar to people who prefer FMA 2003 over Brotherhood. And I get both views honestly.

@killbilly:

I prefer Brotherhood over 2003 FMA overall

But I think 2003 version had a better first episode.

FMAB has a rushed intro in comparison

@wushu59: That was mostly intentional on the writer's part. Brotherhood was made not long after 2003 finished and they made it kind of expecting people to have watched the original series so they rushed through what 2003 covered in detail in its earlier episodes. That's why I generally prefer the depiction of characters like Edward and Alfonse along with Scar in the 2003 version over Brotherhood.

@killbilly:

I thought Brotherhood came out early 2010's

I bought the DVD sets when I lived in Japan

I think this was around 2012...

I watched it when I got off night shift and I think it came out pretty recently at the time because multiple people on my ship were watching it

Could be wrong though. :P

@wushu59: From what I remember, Brotherhood came out around 2008 or 2009 only a few years after the 2003 series had aired but I could be misremembering.

@killbilly:

I guess a bunch of people just bought anime DVDs from the Navy NEX store across the street.

Cause people use to play it in my living space too.

I had no idea it came out that early

These are some greats openings

I really like the Tokyo Ghoul, Soul Eater , Samurai Champloo ones

I like the re: zero themes like this one.

This

and

this

I barely watch Bleach but they did this
