Was there ever a time you watched an opening for an anime and thought it was EPIC and watched the show because of that, but then realized it was terrible?

Or if there's just a terrible show you've seen / are watching but it had a cool opening that you liked!

I've never seen one like that. But I have seen A LOT of awfully bad openings for awesome animes.

I haven't seen any epic openings for bad anime. Usually if the opening is epic, it at least brings the show up enough for me to avoid being crappy. Usually.

School Days - although the first two and last two episodes were great, everything in between was awful. But Innocent Blue is one of the best opening songs ever.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

That's all I really feel like pasting atm. The rest of the animes on my list that have an epic opening are for epic shows imo.

not an epic opening but Eden of the East had an Epic Ending animation, but the anime was entirely mediocre and underwhelming.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

One of the worst shows I have watched from 2011, and certainly the worst of the three I have completed so far (I have lots of catching up to do), happens to have one of the best OPs I have heard from a 2011 anime.

And seconding Cowabunga's suggestion of the Canaan OP.

And while I actually liked this show, maybe because it was so cliché and crappy...

Umineko isn't a crappy show, it is certainly not as good as Higurashi, but this is more than adequate...
I'll take some recent examples with Hidan no Aria and Blood-C

I can also include A-channel (even if it's not a "crappy show") and certain Naruto's Openings wich were decent in my opinion.

I would. By presenting Umineko as a straightforward story/fantasy/mystery series, Deen completely missed the entire point of Ryukishi07's visual novel. The anime is bad because it takes all the horrible face-value stuff from Umineko and pretends that's all there is to it. The original work is dense metafiction which seems to basically acknowledge that the plot and characters are complete shit and uses them as a jumping off point to present the reader with something that's actually interesting. The anime is nothing but a jumbled mess of poorly-written characters doing stupid stuff for no reason.
