Here's my favourite opening

It's also a recommendation
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

I generally don't care for them. Most of them are just mushy pop/power ballad with cringe Engrish catch phrases.

I have found that most of my favorite OP/END are instrumentals only, or ones without any Engrish sentences thrown in the mix for the cheesy kwell factor. Bonus points if the lyrics are themed around anything other than love (to fucking change!) and if these lyrics and the music genre tonally fit.

Vampire Princess Miyu's OP is a textbook example of what I find to be AMAZING. Its aim is to set the mood, sum up the stakes and transition to the episode seamlessly.

Dang, there are so many that I can't skip! I think that my all-time favorite would be Sawakaze from Kimi ni Todoke s2.

#1 IMO is Dr. Stone S2.

Contenders are Disillusion (the Dean stay night OP, which is a variation of the VN's one) and both of Kekkai Sensen's. This is going mostly on the song.

Cromartie high's op is also great, both visually and song-wise, for different reasons.

Choosing just one favorite is hard...here's my top 5:
1. Kiznaiver - "Lay your hands on me"
2. Inu x Boku SS - "Nirvana"
3. Death Parade - "Flyers"
4. Elfen Lied - "Lillium"
5. SnK Season 3 - "Red Swan"

Many anime OPs are good, but only a few can make me think "this is perhaps the best anime OP ever".
One of them I listened again recently is Naraku no Hana (Higurashi Kai).

But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !"

It's kinda bias since it's my favorite anime but I love the Yuru Camp openings, 2 slightly more than 1. Another one of my favorites since it came out is the Dragon Maid s2 opening. So many are so good it's hard to pick a definite favorite.

Usually skip a lot so I'm just going to put down some that I personally like:
1. K-On! S1 Opening(Cagayake! GIRLS)
2. Quintessential Quintuplets S1 OP(Gotoubun no Kimochi)
3. Yu Yu Hakusho Opening(Smile Bomb)
4. Dragon Maid 1 OP

(This is a weirdly hard list to make)

oh, I love the art of the anime OP. obviously at the moment most of my favorite are from anime I've seen.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
Kyousougiga
Revolutionary Girl Utena
ACCA
Nekomonogatari Kuro
Azumanga Daioh


there's a lot of the more obvious ones I love, like FMAB's, Steins;gate, Hunter x Hunter, Railgun S OP 1, and Blood Blockade Battlefront. but those are kind of obvious in these discussions.

1- Sayonara Zetsubou sensei OP 3! It's so fucking amazing I love it so much


2- Princess Tutu OP I will forever miss you Okazaki


3- Tsuritama OP I love summer man Idk man this song makes me so happy and I think it's perfect


4- Ousama Ranking OP 2 One of the most perfect openings ever imo


5- Arakawa Under the Bridge OP 2


This whole thing made me super depressed because watching these dumb openings make me happier than anything and nobody in my life cares about the same things or can understand why I love anime so much. What's the point of smiling so much when you can't share that love with anyone.

No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

Tsuritama's OP is an underrated pick! Song is so nice and nostalgic, and it complements the anime really well.

and I feel that last part man! But at least we have the internet to talk about this stuff with like-minded people.

Too many to name to be honest so I'm just going to pick some of the classics.
Stable Staple - Bakemonogatari

Yakusoku Wa Iranai - Escaflowne

Itoshii Hito No Tameni - Fushigi Yuugi

Close To Your Heart - Monster Farm

Believe - One Piece

The One Piece OP2 is probably the best anime opening of all time. From the opening monologue, the galloping eurobeats and soaring chorus - a signal to the start of a grand voyage in a world filled with wondrous mysteries.

Naruto op1 will always reign supreme for me.
Beastars op1 is very novel, I like it a lot
And ODDTAXI. Such a bop and alot of subtleties.
Ousama ranking op 2 is really good.
Edit: Believe One Piece is amazing and also Soul Eater OP1.

Love a good pump up shounen OP.

They can be found in one of my blog posts, but if I had to throw out one, it would be Tank from Cowboy Bebop. If you count anime I haven't seen, gotta be A Cruel Angel's Thesis from Eva.
