What's anime had the most epic and memorable intro you have seen?

personally: Karas The Prophecy. Most epic scene ever...tied with TTGL's last transform "Who the Hell do you think we are!" last episode, and first time seeing Goku turn SS.

you have to admit...that was epic.

Haha yea karas was good. To me the Naruto Shippuden Intro that started at ep 78-79 really got me. Gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it.

are you kidding me? The entire first episode of a 200+ episode series most definitely counts as an introduction. It introduces Ash to the pokemon world and serves as a springboard on his quest to be a pokemon master.

Seconding epic Spearow attack/ Pikachu's Thunder.

I also thought that the final two minutes in the first Code Geass was pretty whoa--wtf?! Sort of epic if you consider that Lelouch totally turned out to be someone you didn't expect him to be in that ten seconds after he first used the Geass.

Kemonozume, since there was gore and swordsmanship and diarrhoea in one go.

Berserk, since Guts totally kicked the crap out of giant-tongued lizard freak and it pretty much sets the pace for the kick-ass to come.

And then there's Gantz. Who could forget that? Train = 1.

One more vote here for Elfen Lied.

How about Shinji "expressing himself" at the beginning of End of Evangelion? Maybe more memorable than epic. A scene that really sticks out in my memory. hehe

Not an anime, but intros don't get more epic than the intro to Neo Contra for the PS2. I guarantee watching it will put hair on your chest.

It wasn't epic, but it was an amazing introduction nontheless.

Fuck no.

The manliest moment in that show featured Kittan on his lonesome. Remember that all the giant mecha are, at their heart, piloted by a person.

If you're simply talking about the first thing you see in a show, and with a very loose definition of epic, it's Cowboy Bebop for me. I watched it on TV with all my band buddies, and everybody was freaking out at the trumpet high notes and the sax solo.
Peace through Superior Firepower!

The first half of the Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou sensei pilot was awesome yet indescribable. It's something you have to see for yourself, but all I can tell you is that it involves nosebleeds, a cult, and sausage links.

As so many others have said, Elfen Lied and Kyon's monologue.

But, as Nika-senpai also said, the beginning of Higurashi. While I did drop it after the first ep, the beginning will never be forgotten. Someone killing sleeping people with a baseball bat, heavy breathing, crazed eyes, and then... SUNSHINE, FLOWERS, BRIGHT COLORS!

Most startling and amazingly epic transition I've ever seen.
