Favorite Openings/Endings?

[Apollo Celestio]

Not the biggest deal, but alot of the animes I watch have cool opening/ending videos/songs. I just wonder what are some of your favorites within the series you watch. Just look them up on youtube if you haven't seen them..

Favorite Opening
(Full Metal Alchemist Opening 4)
Ending
(Death Note Ending 2)

Other ones I like are various ones from Naruto/Bleach (OPs/ED's) and Black Cat. (OP) I'll post more if this topic actually gets replies.

• KOTOKO - "Shooting Star" (Please Teacher OP)
• Arisa Nakayama - "Heart To Heart" (ToHeart2 Game OP)
• High and Mighty Color - "Ichirin no Hana" (Bleach OP 3 - IMO, this was the best OP Bleach has had)
• YUI - "Rolling Star" (Bleach OP 5)
• Takacha - "MOVIN!!" (Bleach ED 8 - "Ame ni mo... Kaze ni mo..." is also good, it was on the ED single with "MOVIN!!")
• Asian Kung-Fu Generation - "Rewrite" (FMA OP 4)
• Aya Hirano, Emiri Katou, Kaori Fukuhara, and Aya Endou - "Motteke! Sailor Fuku" (Lucky Star OP)
• Ami Koshimizu and Mamiko Noto - "Futari ha Wasurechau" (School Rumble 2nd Term ED 2)
• Megumi Hayashibara - "Midnight Blue" (Slayers Perfect/The Movie ED)
• Megumi Hayashibara - "Reflection" (Slayers Great ED)
• SURFACE - "Saa" (Mamotte Shugogetten OP)
• Eiko Shimamiya - "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OP)
• Spinwake - "Don't Wanna Be" (Irregular Hunter X/Maverick Hunter X Game OP)
• RoST - I.D.E.A. (Megaman X6 Game ED)
• ZI:KILL - "Calling" (Fatal Fury OVA 2 ED - the song was first featured on the band's CD Rocket, however - which was released about a month and a half before the Special first aired)
• The Pillows - "Ride On Shooting Star" (FLCL ED)
• Ribbon - "Little Date" (Ranma ½ OP 2)
• Yawmin - "Koi da! Panic!" (Ranma ½ OVA OP 1)
• Yoshie Hayasaka - "Zettai! Part 2" (Ranma ½ OP 4)

That's good enough for right now.

Gotta love "Tank!" by Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop).

Also...

"Lunar Eclipse Grand Guignol" (Avenger)
"Coppelia's Casket" (Noir)

 

[Qyöt27]

Oh yeah, I forgot:

Omori Toshiyuki - "The Sacred Moon" (Shingetsutan Tsukihime OP)

Kumiko Noma - "Lillium" (Elfen Lied OP)

Chieko Kawabe - "Be Your Girl" (Elfen Lied ED)

 

[Tariel]

Well....I loved the opening to Ghost in the Shell

 

[Apollo Celestio]

Eiko Shimamiya - "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OP)
Evil sounding as it was, I liked this one too.
Out of the bleach OPs, I'd say my favorite is OP5.
I didn't like Elfen lied too much. (Naked little girls, no thanks.. :x)
Anyone ever watch the Opening to Sousei no Aquarion? The anime isn't the best, but I love the song to it..

 

[Angel_of_the_Lord]

There are so many! But let me think...

Dragon Ball's opening theme (Not DBZ or GT).

"Ride on Shooting Star" ~ Fooly Cooly

Sailor Moon's opening theme.

"Jajauma ni Sasenaide (Don't Make Me A Shrew)" ~ Ranma 1/2

"Soramimi Keiki (Fancy Hearing Cake)" ~ Azumanga Daioh


And many more.

 

[Anemone]

Taiyo no Mannaka e (To The Center Of The Sun) -3rd opening theme for Eureka Seven-

 

[ladyinwaiting16]

opening to ghost in the shell, and closings of inyuasha

 

[GardenOfKadesh]

Surprise surprise: Ghost in the Shell, but that was because it had Tachikomas.

. . . And the now lost Cartoon Network preview for the mediocre Escaflowne movie. It had a snippet from Shadow of Doubt played against choreographed clips. Rather clever, and the only reason I watched it. Definitely not as cool as the string chorus and burning cities implied.

Although this probably doesn't count, Shadow of the Colossus had a brilliant opening. Of course, Shadow of the Colossus was brilliant across the board (except in the framerate department).

Favorite openings: Otogi Zoshi (2nd); Samurai Champloo
Favorite endings: Now and Then, Here and There; Samurai 7
