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

And that sums up my top favorites..I have too many favorite openings and endings.

fenyx4 May 25th, 2009 4:48 PM

This is a brief, rough sketch of my fave opening and endings. ORDER: (song title - artist {anime} [notes]) Question marks indicate uncertainty of title/name/artist:

OPENINGS:
  • GO!!!/Fighting Dreamers - FLOW (Naruto) [FAVORITE ALL-TIME OPENING!!! :knockedou]
  • RISE! - ?????? (Naruto) [used as opening theme for the first 2 seasons of U.S. dub only]
  • ROCKS - Hound Dog (Naruto)
  • Haruka Kanata - Asian Kung Fu Generation (Naruto)
  • Seishun Kyosoroku? - ?????? (Naruto) [5th American opening; title translates to Rhapsody of Youth]
  • Digimon Theme - ??????? (Digimon Adventure 01-02, DigimonTamers) [so addicting! :)]
  • Digimon Theme Season 4 - ??????? (Digimon Frontier)
  • DigiRap - ???????(Digimon: The Movie) [nice "remix", despite lyrics]
  • Ready, Set, Go! - L'Arc~Ciel (Full Metal Alchemist) [1st U.S. theme of FMA]
  • Change The World ?????? - (InuYasha) [1st Opening]
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Theme - ?????? (Yu-Gi-Oh!) [opening of the majority of YGO episodes in U.S.]
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Theme - ????? (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX) [used for all of YGO GX seasons in U.S.]
  • We Ride To Survive - ????? (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds) [runner-up theme in 4Kids online poll. SHould've won!]
  • HyperDrive - ????? (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds) [sadly, winning theme in 4Kids online poll; should've been ending theme instead! Argh! :cer_pissed: At least worse songs weren't chosen]
  • Make Me Wild Like You? - (Ranma 1/2) [I think 1st Season theme, where characters are running in place during the opening]
  • AzuManga Daioh Theme? - ?????? (Azumanga Daioh) [theme used on U.S. DVD releases of episodes]
  • 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:

toyaki May 26th, 2009 1:01 PM

My favorite opening is shijou saikyon no deshi Kenichi opening 2(sorry i didn't found the name of the this op) and the ending will by hmm soul eater - STRENGTH (its the 4)
