My second favorite is kinda a tie between the Evangelion and Love Hina opening. Both of the songs are really very good. When I first started watching Love Hina I couldn’t get the song outta my head and I would hum it all the time. Now its the same with the Eva opening. I just cant stop singing it!
Don�t be embarrassed Chikage I was actually a fan of that song too when I was younger. It fuckin’ rocked man! *does devil horn sign* :p
Uhmm, I really love the opening song of Lain for no obvious reason besides the fact that I just like the music and the vocal.
BGC2040, Evangelion and Gundam Wing theme/opening songs come as a close second though 😀
Tie between Cowboy Bebop’s Tank! and Serial Experiments: Lain’s Duvet. Both are very excellent.
Close but no cigar…
His or Her Curcumstance’s
Fruits Basket
Evangelion
Gundum wing
X: the series
Love Hina
Trigun, Tenchi Universe, Yu Yu Hakusho (preferably Japanese opening), Cowboy Bebop
As for endings..
Cowboy Bebop (Real Folk Blues, yus), Inuyasha (First season "My Dream" I think the song is called)
Lot of ending songs aren’t good…o.O Trigun’s is horrible XD
Sakura Saku by Megumi Hayashibara from Love Hina is pretty good too. It got a bit annoying after a while though.
So, there.
Some others I really like are Velvet Underworld from Weiss Kreuz, Vision of Escaflowne’s opening (not sure what the title is), and Messiah from Angel Sanctuary.
Cowboy Bebbop Opening (Tank!)
Hellsing Opening (forgot the name)
Oh well here are a few opening theme’s I liked…
Outlaw Star – ‘Through The Night’
Cowboy Bebop – ‘Tank’
I admit the DBZ intro was good but not the lyrics! I liked the music from the first intro, you know when it first got released.
I also love the opening theme to ‘Cardcaptors’ the second one when it had that cool techno mix. I don’t know the name of that.
If you must know the ending themes I liked…
Outlaw Star – ‘Hiru No Tsuki’ & ‘Tsuki No Ie’
Cowboy Bebop – ‘Real Folk Blues’
Gundam Wing – Just Communication’
Can’t remember any others I really like.
The first japanese intro ( Cha-La-Head-Cha-La ) and the japanese GT ( Dan Dan Kokkoro Hikareteku ) intro, however, are different stories.
But my favorite intros are "Kuseki no Umi" from Rolw:Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, "To the Light" from Star Ocean EX and "Zankoku wa Tenshi no Thesis" from Evangelion.
Its hard for me though, Ive been obsessed with many intros over the years. Ok it was only 2, but I watch alot of anime ok. Ill just say that the fist one was the full Gundam wing japinese vocal into, I dont know whats its called…but and right now I realy like the ghost in the shell stand alone complex song, inner universe by Yoko Kanno, who is god.
Musically speaking, Lain’s "Duvet" is my favorite theme. I’m actually quite the BOA fan.
On a side note, the words to the japanese sailor moon theme are really pretty…
FF8’s intro was also one of the best. The music was well done and so were the graphics. Truly a timeless classic in openings.
Well, I have to admit, straight from the top, my number one fav opening theme is Sakura Saku of Love Hina and it’s closing theme is pretty good as well, Kimi Sae Ireba I think it’s called. Secondly, would be Trust the opening to stage one of Vandread, and the closing theme Himegoto is good as well.
The rest of my favourites would be the themes from Guyver, Macross : Do you remember love? & Oh! My Goddess.
Although that could be because I just finished the series and it’s what’s on my mind right now. Runner up is probably the opening to Outlaw Star, simply because I like that song so much.
If FLCL had an opening, it would probably be that. It definately has the best closing credits, that’s for sure.
Since I’m currently watching NGE: Perfect Collection, that opening theme is the first to come to mind. Far outranking that crap that was the intro to any episode to GW or the other Gundam series.
Another of my favorites is the theme to Zone of the Enders: Idolo. I know, this anime is new and has yet to develop, but so far it looks like it’s going to be very good. If they do it right, it might even have a chance at stealing NGE’s "God of Mecha Anime" title. If they do things right, that is.
As for endings….I don’t recall a song that I really liked…I’ll try to post them later when I remember….
T.W.K.
If you remeber it?
Samurai Pizza Cats? LOL I remember that show, it had me laughing my ass off everytime I watched it (Come to think of it, a lot of stuff I see on TV nowadays makes me laugh.). I remember the theme to it, and found it on a, now defunct, website. The ending theme was also there, so I downloaded that as well.
Some other themes I enjoyed were from Dangermouse, Cout Duckula, Bananaman, Wacky Races (Mainly because of Dick Dasterly’s sidekick, Mutley, the snickering hound.), a lot of the old Hanna Barbera cartoons, Roger Ramjet, Ulysses, Asterix, Mysterious cities of gold, Ewoks, Bucky O’Hare, Police Academy : The series, Hong Kong Phooey, Biker Mice from Mars and a whole heap of others. (Managed to find SOME of the opening and end themes for these shows and some others. Took me awhile to find them.)
Another theme I still enjoy, or I should say themes, are the opening themes to the original Transformers series (Before the Movie, and the season set after the movie. Not the Beast Wars, Beast Machines or the Armada series. I prefer the originals.).
