Favorite/Least Favorite Anime Intro/Closing Scenes

CodeZTM · Post by **CodeZTM** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 1:26 pm

We've all seen them. The intros to Animes that make us either shriek in terror or laugh with happiness. So just tell us your favorite/least favorite anime opening/closing sequences.

Favorite:

Eureka 7 (1st Season Opening Sequence)

I liked this one just because it was upbeat and happy. The sad ones don't appeal to me as much

Outlaw Star (Opening Sequence)

I liked this one mostly because the song was catchy and upbeat.

Full Metal Alchemist (2nd Opening Sequence)

I loved this one mostly because it was a heavy rock song, and I didn't get much of that with my other anime.

Full Metal Alchemist (3rd Closing Sequence)

I loved this one because I love Winry in the show, and they never showed enough of her.

Chrono Crusade (Opening Sequence)

I alwasy got goosbumbs listening to this one. It was strange because it could be seen as happy, but also as sad...

Rozen Maiden: Traumend
This sequence is so surreally animated and beautifully done that it's just spooky

Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG
The song is awesome (it helps that I speak russian) and reminds me of the Matrix, in a good way

Cowboy Bebop
Great song and great animation make it a favorite

Do I need to actually tell you? (see avatar.. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, if you can't tell)

I also mightily enjoy the School Rumble (1st season) OP and ED.

And the Futakoi Alternative and other ufotable series (Ninja Nonsense, Coyote Ragtime Show) endings are always great fun.

And of course, for old-school goodness, all the KOR openings and endings.

Liked:

Utawarerumono - I loved the OP scenes and song. The animation is promising as well as the action scenes shown in the OP.
Bleach - I only like the OP2. All the scenes fit so well with the pacing of the song.
Zegapain - The special effects is amazing to look at. I think this is gonzo's best OP they did.
AIR TV - The art quality is surperb. The song is good too.
GTO - OP2 song owned and the animation was very fluid.
Gungrave - The part when Brandon and Harry running towards the sun.
Speed Grapher - Just the song from ED2.
Ah My Goddess 2nd TV - The song from ED2 fits perfectly with the scenes. Beautiful song.

Disliked:

Gundam SEED/Destiny - I didnt like the last 2 OP songs for Destiny and the scenes are stock footage. Fukada is an idiot for choosing Chemistry.
Ah My Goddess 2nd TV - The sound of the bagpipes right when the OP begins makes me skip the scene to the ep.
Bleach - OP4... what were they thinking choosing beat crusaders? and ED1, i had a hard time watching the series because of that 'Nobody knows who i really am' shit. lol
Speed Grapher - ED1 song, dont ask.. I feel like puking..

Most favorite:

Hellsing for that freaky song.
Bebop, good animation to it.

Least:

Yugioh- the opening theme is misleading
Trigun- lack of opening theme (except on DVDs, then its quite good)

Forgot my least favorites, so here they are:

Gankutsuou: I liked the opening, but the ending just turned me off for some reason, especially since a lot of it is just rehashed footage from the trailer

Kiddy Grade: This one just never really struck a chord with me for some reason, so I always skipped over it.

Favs:

Ah!My Goddes TV OP- I just love the song and the animation runs with it perfectly

Paranoia Agent OP - Its just so damn weird. And any song mentioning a mushroom clowd is a plus in my book

Elfen Lied OP - It sets an eerie tone for the show. The artwork is aslso stunning.

Hates:

Comic Party - It hardly seemed thought out and very unentertaining.

Battle Athletes Victory - The chibi images of Akari trying to train were pain to my eyes and the song was a pain to my ears. DIE HONEYBEE!!!

A new one for the loved list:

Rozen Maiden Traumend
This one is so sad and beautifully animated that it's just heartbreaking after certain events that happen in the series. Nearly made me cry after one really intense episode.
