Best OP/ED thread

This is another one of Sentai’s. I love the opening, but I haven’t been able to watch the show yet.

Lunar Legend is a good one. Interesting story and feel. I even had the main character kill Redshirt1 in the Mecha turns for no apparent reason, but that was very early on. He did write an apology note.

Need a little help here. For some reason, it won’t let me post vids here. I keep getting an http 403 error.

All you need to do is post the link, no special stuff required. Post it in this box, not down below in the ‘file to attach’ place.

There’s some good stuff in har. I think I’ve listened to Raspberry Heaven two times already. :slight_smile:

I was embedding them here in the box like I used to do. But now I just need to place the links? Ahh sweet thanks. Much obliged.

One of two Clannad songs that I really like. This one is just amazingly cute and lovable: the ED theme for the first season.

Red Garden did have a great OP, and it was definitely unique. It was one of the few shows that I watched the OP every time it played.

I AM COMPLETELY REMISS!!!

I can’t believe I’ve let the thread get this far without bringing in MY ALL TIME FAVORITE japanese song. With how much time I spend talking about Yoko Kanno, she gets soundly defeated by this one.

I give to you, the second Casshern end song, my favorite music video of all time, Hikari to Kage. The lyrics and composition here are FREAKING AMAZING. I posted this song on the old forums once, but it certainly belongs here as well.

see, wasn’t that beautiful?

Just got this one today, and really enjoying it so far!

Cody send it to me. :frowning: (Jealous) How many eps are you into? Do be sure to post in the Tears to Tiara thread in the forum and input your opinion - and when you do I’m curious to hear if you think it’s better than Utawarerumono.

Coffee, I LOVE the ED theme to SuperGals, as you probably know. :slight_smile:

So far, I’m only up to episode 3, but I really like it so far. And i was planning on posting some there once I get a few more episodes down later this weekend.

I’ll second both of those. I bought an Aria soundtrack CD because of those songs.

Some others I like -

Clannad’s opening

One of the Inuyasha end themes “Come To Me” I think it was called

The first or second Pani Poni Dash opening (which got used again on a couple of the last episodes)… one of the lyrics the girl singer asks if someone’s been “distracted by my cute butt” …

Princess Resurrection, both the open and end themes

The Cowboy Bebop closing theme - there’s a long version of this used in one episode that I like better than the regular one. But that’s a show that didn’t have any bad music, any criticisms of Yokko Kanno aside. (if you’re saying what? well, they are out there).

And of course the Lupin III theme, who can forget that.

There are others, I suppose if I sat down and made a real list it would be fairly long and cover a long period of shows. I find I like a surprising variety of music types when my exposure to them is as show themes.


Yeah, I remember.
I love both the OP and ED

I really love this one, it’s super cute and actually really catchy.
Speaking of Clannad, I actually like the After Story OP.
Well, honestly just the begining and ending parts, I could live without the middle part.

Yeah that’s pretty awesome! I did not like the Clannad season 1 OP anywhere as much as the ED, but After Story’s is really touching.

Really need to get Clannad pt2 and After Story pt 1 and 2 asap. I’m way behind you VOD guys now. Still trying to wait til I can get it on DVD so I can watch it on TV, vs watching it on the Online Player on my computer - my desk isn’t comfy. :stuck_out_tongue:

OK. now that I’ve figured out *how *to post, Let me post some of my favorite OPs.

Let’s start with an old skool OP-and see the difference between the Japanese and American versions of Tobor the 8th Man:

And, even though it’s been posted, I have to include Clannad. What knocks me out is the shot that runs from 00:40 to 00:47, with the girl running in the field. The “camera” comes from behind her along her right side, then tilts down as it pans right then cranes out to show the entire shadow of the running girl. Now that is a shot that would be virtually impossible to do live, but can be easily achieved in anime.

But one of the most dazzling OPs I’ve ever seen is Last Exile’s:

That Last Exile OP is one of my favorites!
