Luminaire Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 [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. ~Lumi ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Apex Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 [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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliel Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 [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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Haruko Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xellos Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Stick Fairy [/i] [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.

Kyo no Ryu Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Tical [/i] [B]The best opening theme of all time has got to be soultker. [/B][/QUOTE] 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.

KarmaOfChaos Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 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.

CharmedImmortal Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 [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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfwoman Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I like InuYasha's opener. I no, there are better. I just haven't found any yet^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Battosai Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I'd have to go with "Tank" from the Cowboy Bebop series. I still have yet to see plenty of other animes I'm interested in, so that decision will probably change sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeathWorks Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 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.

Katana Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by shorty [/i] [B]hey guys I love gundam wing's opening theme it's ok but the best are from .hack//sign am I right huh huh ha ha hey you guys should visit my site in myotaku [/B][/QUOTE] [color=hotpink][size=1]Welcome to the OtakuBoards!

Radical Ed Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arasoi Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 [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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 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. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanariya Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 My favorite would have to be the [b].hack//sign Obsession[/b] opening theme because it has great beats and the graphics are amazing to me. I love the theme so much, it's stuck in my head at this very moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahoots34 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have a very minor addiction to, "Flying in the Sky," from G Gundam. Who _can't_ resist bopping their head repeatedly (until brain damage occurs, apparently) to something to that upbeat and incongruous to a mecha show?

The Mac Attack Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjack80 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 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.

IloveBebop Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 For the people that watch Yu-gi-oh!, have you ever noticed how the theme song is basically the same every season? Sure, they have different pictures, but the song is the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rttocs77 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_fizz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue]I think "Freckles" from Rurouni Kenshin is a great Openning song. I also like the openning song to Yu Yu Hakusho. THE FIZZ[/COLOR] :wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
