What is your favorite opening and ending of any anime
 
Well my favorite opening is "D-technolife" from bleach and my favorite ending is "wind" from naruto. What is your favorite opening and ending?

ShinjisLover April 6th, 2009 6:30 PM

Pokémon - Ending: Poruka Odoru Ka (Gotta Dance! short as well), Opening: (English) Johto League Champions

School Rumble - Ending: Otoko No Ko Onna No Ko, Opening: Scramble

Shaman King - Ending: Trust You, Opening: Northern Lights

Burst Angel - Ending: Under the Sky (I think that's what it's called), Opening: Loosey.

And more, but I don't feel like listing them. XDD

GunSaberSeraph April 6th, 2009 6:51 PM

-Pokemon OP: "Spurt"
-Gurren Lagann Op: Sorairo Days
-Soul Eater Op: Resonation

Gymnotide April 6th, 2009 7:11 PM

I like this one.
It brings back good memories.

usami April 6th, 2009 7:49 PM

My favorite OPs are "Moonlight Densetsu" from Sailormoon and "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" from... Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. C:
I don't usually like EDs though, my favorite is "Tuxedo Mirage" from Sailormoon. :[
edit: oh, and "Unnamed world" from Niju Mensou no Musume

Phanima April 6th, 2009 7:57 PM

Only a few stand out, although the ones that use clips from episodes are the worst. D:

Anyway, Kibou no Kakera from PPGZ, Hito Toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Motteke! Sailor Fuku from Lucky Star. Don't think I've watched many endings, I usually just skip to the next episode. don't say 'lazy' from K-ON! is an exception.

Gymnotide April 6th, 2009 8:00 PM

My previous post reminded me to watch the new series.
I like this.


twocows April 6th, 2009 8:20 PM

It usually varies with whatever I'm watching, but I thought ダイアモンド クレバス (Diamond Crevasse) by May'n was pretty good (first ending theme for Macross Frontier). Come to think of it, I liked all the music from Macross Frontier, especially Megumi's stuff (voice of Ranka Lee).

wee187 April 6th, 2009 8:47 PM

Brotherhood FMA Opening is my current fav opening

Bleach Life - YUI ending is the best =3

revelp8 April 6th, 2009 8:51 PM

Papermoon - tommy heavenly6 from Soul Eater OP2

Midicronica - San Francisco from Samurai Champloo ending song for the series

devilicious April 7th, 2009 2:01 AM

This is considering not only the music but also the animation, I take it?

Hatena de Wasshoi from Hidamari Sketch x365
Hito Toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Also HANAJI from Maria Holic, but youtube doesn't seem to have any video for it.

ソラ April 7th, 2009 2:41 AM

Well, Lemme See.

Gusxx1 April 7th, 2009 9:20 AM

Last Exile. Hands down the score in the Anime is probably one of the best i've heard. Theres probably better but i love the score of that Anime.

thedestinedblade April 7th, 2009 11:04 AM

Favorite opening is probably "Akai Hana" from Eden's Bowy.

Ending would have to be "Glory - Kimi Ga Iru Kara" from One Piece.

Kotowari April 9th, 2009 2:59 PM

Hajimari no Kaze - Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 1 & 2 Opening
Byakuya - True Light - D.N. Angel Opening
Mosou Uta (full version) - Utawarerumono Opening
Tobira no Mukou E - Fullmetal Alchemist 2nd Ending
Asu E (full version) - Saiunkoku Monogatari 2nd Season Ending
Kaze no Fuku Basho -Beyblade G-Revolution 2nd Ending
Sign of Wish - Beyblade G-Revolution 3rd Ending


I know there are more songs out there that would fit perfectly in this list, but for now, you'll have to do with these. XD

Corvus of the Black Night April 9th, 2009 3:41 PM

Bah, True Light... get's old after a while for me.

For me, it would have to be the opening theme to Matantei Loki: Ragnarok. Stupid anime, but the opening theme to that was amaaaaazing.

Kotowari April 11th, 2009 7:31 AM

I still love that song since I saw the anime back in June 2007. <3 I have it on my ipod 4 times. (Accoustic, full, TVsize, english version)

Um, the two openings with "Go" and "Re:member" from Naruto.
And the first ending for FMA (I forgot what it was called, like Kensenai Tsumi")
Those are my fave openings and ending. :3

Gummy April 11th, 2009 6:55 PM

I love the opening for FMA: Brotherhood, but I can't say the same about the ending. Not because it's bad, I just don't listen to ending themes.

I'm currently pretty much obsessed with NANA.
My favorite opening song of all time for anything is Wish, which is the second opening for NANA.
I also really dig the second ending song from Outlaw Star, but the name of it escapes me right now. DD:

is "Jikan Yo Tomare" from "Itazura Na Kiss".
I got LSS from it. :D
the ending of an anime? as of now,
from the animes i've watched, i haven't like any. :D

Queen April 16th, 2009 8:16 PM

Favorite opening is when some people are in a middle of a battle....

Overlap by Kimeru. It's an opening song

Gymnotide April 18th, 2009 3:58 PM

I thought this was appropriate.

¡No Hablo Inglés! April 23rd, 2009 9:18 PM

There's quite a few openings that I've liked;
Motekke! Sailor Fuku from Lucky Star
the WORLD from Death Note (Mainly because I'm a massive Nightmare fan. xD)
HANAJI from Maria+Holic
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni from the anime of the same name
Resonance from Soul Eater; T.M.Revolution wins.

As for endings, I don't usually watch them, but one I did like was ALUMINA from Death Note. Again, mainly because I like Nightmare.

Juyushi April 23rd, 2009 11:17 PM

I liked Orange Range's opening for Code Geass R2, O2 and their ending for Naruto, Viva Rock.

dolce. April 25th, 2009 9:06 PM

My favorite OP is definitely Sengoku Basara's JAP- song and sequence are my favorite!
And my favorite ED is probably... Eden of the East's ED. The paper effect really is very pretty~

Hagumi April 26th, 2009 1:42 AM

For openings, I like:
  • K-on! - Cagayake! Girls
  • Katekyo Hitman Reborn! - Last Cross
  • Lucky Star - Motteke! Sailor Fuku
  • Pandora Hearts - Parallel Hearts

And for endings:
  • Eden of the East - Futuristic Imagination
  • K-on! - Don't Say Lazy
  • Katekyo Hitman Reborn! - Suberidai (Slide)
  • Kuroshitsuji - I'm Alive

I like quite a lot of anime openings/endings but I liked these best. The songs in bold are my absolute favourites; I couldn't listen to them for hours and never get bored of them. For Parallel Hearts, I love it because it's fits Pandora Hearts just perfectly, and the combination of the violin and voices = amazing. As for my favourite ending, it just a difficult choice between Suberidai and Futuristic Imagination, but I decided to go with Suberidai in the end. I think it's nice, calm, and lovely song. However, Eden of the East's ending is very creative; it's awesome how they do that with paper.

XXXBurningStarIV April 28th, 2009 1:48 AM

Opening:
Pretear ~ White Destiny

Evilyn April 30th, 2009 9:40 AM

Motteke! Sailor Fuku by Aya Hirano and Again by YUI.

The first is Lucky Star's opening that the second is the opening of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. There are a lot of other anime songs I like, but most of them are characters' themes. xD;

Edit: OH AND K-ON!'S OPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THAT. D:

Snivi May 1st, 2009 7:31 PM

Elaine May 3rd, 2009 2:42 PM

My favorite ending for Xenosaga would have to be "In this eternity" --Mayumi Gojo

I have a couple favorite ending songs like "Suna no Oshiro" and " Still Doll" --Kanon Wakeshima and these ending songs are from Vampire Knight and Vampire Knight Guilty.

The opening song I like from Elven Lied was "Lillum" --Kawabe Chieko

  • Air Gear Theme? - (Air Gear) [theme used on U.S. episodes of anime]
  • RAVE-O-LUTION - ?????? (Rave Master) [theme used on U.S. episodes of anime]
  • One Piece Rap - 4Kids (One Piece) [*holds up shield* Hey, it was catchy, OK? I hate 4Kids crappy dub edits, too!]
  • Sonic X Theme - 4Kids (Sonic X) [*holds up shield again* This was catchy, too! Sorry!]
  • Hikari E (English Version) - ????? (One Piece) [Vic Micgnogna? (FMA - Edward Elric's voice) can sing!]
  • Season 1 Bleach Theme - (Bleach) [used for 1st Season of Bleach]
  • Currently all Pokemon themes except DPGB's; see below for reason - 4Kids, Pokemon USA (Pokemon)

*[Except DPGB's theme, all Pokemon themes have been awesome! Especially the original theme, the remix of the original theme, and the first 3 Advanced Generation themes! For a more comprehensive list, search Bulbapedia. You'll get to them eventually! ;)]

ENDINGS
  • PokeRap, Pokemon JukeBox Songs - ????? (Pokemon) [JukeBox was fun to sing along to; the PokeRap is simply classic, catchy, and cool]
  • Come - ?????? (InuYasha) [Season 4's Ending Theme, I think]
  • Season 1 Ending/EPISODE #167'S Ending? - ?????? (InuYasha) [I think it's used as 1st season's ending; used for the ending of the anime's last episode. Features Kagome riding a train and Sango wading in water during the opening]
  • Remix no Jutsu* - Starlight Studios' remix (Naruto) - [not an actual ending, but was derived from an actual ending of Naruto. Depicts Naruto as a child, I think. I like both the actual ending and its remix]
  • The Power of One - ?????? (Pokemon The Movie 2000: The Power of One) [used as ending to 2nd Pokemon movie with Lugia; sounds similar to ocarina song Melody plays that is used to awaken Lugia]
  • Raspberry Heaven - ?????? - (Azumanga Daioh) [opening looks so funny!]

Other Notes:
1. There was another ending theme I liked in Naruto; I think it was by Orange Crew. Had army-like chanting/marching.
2. Digimon Season 5's Opening Theme, called Never Surrender, is okay, I guess, though it destroyed the awesome song streak the Digimon anime had.
3. I'm slowly warming to Pokemon DP: Galactic Battles's theme tune, but I still think the clips/scenes used are horrible, for the most part (should've used many of High Touch!'s scenes from DPGB's opening theme of Japan). First time that I've had to question a Pokemon theme's likability! :o (And currently, the U.S. DPGB Theme has THE WORST ending for an anime song I've ever heard! You don't bring in Pokemon just to randomly screech their names and pose while ruining the ending! Sheesh!)

This is all I can briefly remember for now. I might touch up on the list later. Really sorry for all the uncertainty (the question marks)!; I'm kind of in a rush right now...! :nervous:
