What Anime has the best opening theme?


Lone Bebop

[color=crimson]I would have to say "Through the Night" from Outlaw Star is my favorite. I loooove many others, but that one is my favorite. The song has a great beat, nice lyrics, and a great video strip that goes with it.
Rurouni Kenshin's "Sobakasu" is another of my favorites. I prefer "Sobakasu" over "Freckle", though I do like the latter. It's "cute", I like the lyrics, but they sound better in Japanese to me.

[font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]"Rhythm Emotion," by TWO-MIX. It's the second opening theme song of the highly popular anime TV series, New Mobile Report Gundam Wing. The song is my favorite of the group, and it fits well with the opening sequence. Plus, my heart starts tingling whenever I hear it... makes me want to grab a Gundam and save the world while some girl shouts my name with an annoying voice.[/color][/font]

[COLOR=green]This is a very hard question for me to answer sense it incudes my two favorite intrests: Anime and Music. But after listening to all of my MP3's I guess I have to say the opening theme for Sailor Moon Stars. Anyone who has seen the subbed episodes should know what I'm talking about. I chose this one because of the beautiful lyrics and up beat melody.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=green]A close second would be "Let me be With You" from Chobits for the same reason.[/COLOR]

Personally, I like the opening to Cowboy Bebop. The movements are so smooth when they show the silhouettes of the characters. Then there's the opening to Macross 2: Lovers Again. I don't really know why I like this opening. It's just cool I guess.


Edit: Oh yeah!! Gunsmith Cats! I love the music and their car. Gotta get me one of those!

[B] I also love just about any Slayers theme song. Then again, maybe it´s just me... [/B][/QUOTE]

Ohh, it's not just you ^_^ I love all of them! If I absolutly had to choose (and that is one hard choice for me) I would have to choose Give a Reason (Slayers Next) as the best.

I almost agree. That is one heck of a theme song. Its over a minute long. Another good one is the Generator Gawl theme "I want out". Its pretty rockin. Also the Samurai Deeper Kyo theme. I believe irs Blue Requeim.

I used to like Tank!, I really did. It used to rock a plastic box. But then my best friend bought the CB soundtrack and played it 15 million times...everywhere...and I started to dislike it. v.v"

Overexposure is a sin! Don't do it, and don't do it to your friends!

^^;;

Other than that, yes, Freckles is in the top numbers. It's just so happy and cute...and it's one of those songs that you don't mind getting stuck in your head. I've never heard the Japanese version, I guess I should check it out. And as for it not matching the theme of RK, well, maybe not the violent parts, but there's a lot more to RK than violence. v.v"

I also really like the opening theme to Fruits Basket. (For Fruits Basket) It's calm and goes with the anime really well. I especially love the line "You can't be born again, although you can change" It's absolutely perfect. ^-^ (The ending theme is really great too)

And then of course there is always Ride A Shooting Star from FLCL, too bad it's not the opening theme. T.T

[size=1][color=red]I'll go with .hack, Cowboy Bebop, and Dual!'s opening theme. I love their opening and it makes me sing or hum along the song (even though i don't know how to sing it because it's in japanese x.x).
I just don't like depressing songs for the opening theme. It just makes me feel boring. But sometimes I like it cuz it fits with the anime. So...i guess...it depends.[/color][/size]

The best theme song has to be"Haruka kanata"from naruto cus I'd never heard a theme song that good before.
And the main reason I think its the best cus differnt something you won't expect kinda like"tank"from cowboy bebop
"tank"is ok but i don't think its all that great.

Oh God, I don't know...
I love so many main themes it isn't funny. I think some of the best are:

-Change the World for Inuyasha
-Flying in the Sky for G Gundam
-Obsession for .hack//SIGN

And so on a so forth. I like the songs because they are so instrumental and actually use talent, unlike the crap put out today in the US.

I agree with u Vertigo Tank! is the best! If it wasnt for that opening song I would have never watched Cowboy Bebop *sigh* then I would have never liked Ed...or Spike...or everybody else! Tank! is the best!
must admit I kinda like Rurouni Kenshin theme song as much as Cowboy Bebop's but its cutting it close!

[color=royal blue]In my opinion, .hack//SIGN's theme song, Obsession, is the best opening anime song. I love the way it sounds, and it's easy for me to remember. Of course, it was a little hard for me to figure out what exactly was being sung when I first heard the song, but now that I understand, I like Obsession even more.[/color]

Another fantastic opening song is "Hemispheres," from RahXephon (one of the best series of all time). It has a quick, J-poppy beat, but manages to sound both uplifting and slightly mystical. The accompanying animation is filled with surreal images, which serve to enhance the symbolism present throughout the remainder of the show.

Believe me, this song is almost impossible to get out of your head.

I must admit that the shortened version of Tank! used in the opening of Cowboy Bebop is not that good. Mainly because of the absense of the saxophone solo. Without it the small melodic phrase from the sax at the end is taken out of context and sounds somewhat irritating.

I've also heard some of (I haven't seen it yet though) Voices from Macross Plus, which sounds promising.

Sorcerous Stabber Orphen has very nice themes (in both opening and ending, season one and two), even if it did remind me of Inspector Gadget. If I can remember correctly these themes were actual popular J-Pop songs, which reasons why they would be of high quality

just out of curiousity, has anyone heard the opening theme "Shell" from Witch Hunter Robin. The opening credits are incredible and i really enjoy the electric guitar. that's the opening i enjoy the most right now, but some others i enjoy are cowboy bebop's and outlaw star.

FLCL I think has the best music overall but the three opening theme songs I have at some point gotten stuck in my head are:

1) Nurse Angel Ririka
2) NGE
3) Sailormoon
