Your Fave Anime OP and ED

Well I can't think of anything at the moment about past animes but right now the current one I like watching is the Toradora one.

I always enjoy Hidamari Sketch's opening theme. I like clapping my hands as the four do.

We are supposed to play favorites?

I usually fast forward over openings (chapter skip works great... sometimes) and start of the ending means time for the next episode.

I used to watch/listen to them but it became boring quite fast. I guess the reason is the same as why I tend to not rewatch anything. Once I have seen it, I tend to remember it when I see it again and it's somewhat boring to tell what will happen all the time. There is a little that holds such great value that it can be seen more than once but it's rare and it's not because of openings.

Currently liking Chu-bura from Bleach. I also like Murder Princess OP and Gekidou from D-Gray Man.

Right now I can't get the theme from Kemeko DX! out of my head. The theme from episode 10 of Pani Poni Dash is another fave.

too many faves to count,

but for current ones, there's

Toki wo Kizamu uta (clannad after story)
Sora (Birdy the mighty Decode)
Lion (Macross frontier 2nd OP)
Paradise Lost (Ga Rei Zero)

All time favourites include

You get to burning (Martian successor nadesico)
Realize (gundam Seed 4th OP)
Innocent Starter (mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha)

I could listen to those 3 all day. but there are lots more which I like but have not mentioned, like JOINT, Hishoku no Sora (shana seasona 1), Changes (toshokan Sensou ED), Chain (shigofumi ED), Crossing days (Kurenai ED 1st ED), the list goes on.

Some current anime openings or endings I like is Prototype from Gundam 00, The opening and ending of Ga Rei Zero and of Casshern and the ending of Xam'd Memories

My MP3player has:
6% English songs
4% Swedish songs
90% anime intro/outro

So I can't say which OP/ED one I like the most. If I find one I like, I destroy it by playing it to many times.

My favaorite anime opening is Lucky star and the ending is School Rumble...

~Be kawaii~

Can't get World End(Geass R2)out of my head,somehow it's so nice to hear...

Out of what I've seen in the past 2 years, I'd say my favourite opening was for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. I especially liked the part with Rika running across the water :)

my fave at the moment is the toradora op.

Can't think of anythin beyond recent series off the top of my head, but I like the OP to Kannagi and Lion from Macross F. I also like both the OP and ED to Shugo Chara Doki. So cute lol

i mostly like insert or endings songs.not many openings that i like.these are the few that i like
ai yori aoshi - towa no hana
ayashi no ceres - scarlet
law of ueki - no regret
macross seven - seventh moon
melody of oblivion - will
somedays dreamers - kaze no hana
soukou no fafner - shangri la
stellvia - asu e no brilliant road

i have 4 out of my mass amounts of opening and endings so I'll show the 2 openings and 2 endings i like best Opening1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvYDZlM2AbA&feature=channel_page Opening2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TzDEnCwegs&feature=channel_page Ending1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1waDaI61iE&feature=channel_page and the last Ending2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7PYiP8DqFo and there you have it my favorite openings and endings. i like a lot of others these are just the ones i tend to listen to more.

This question has been asked each year since 2001 on the Anime-reactor forums !

http://forum.anime-reactor.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4610

My favourite is Ghost in the shell SAC. I like the mix of language in the vocal

op - Bebop
ed - FLCL

others are transient.

I seem to have a preference for each season.
but i guess for this season would be:

OP - JIMI DA NE!
ED - MARVELOUS!

hope you can guess what they were!

i like too many OPs & EDs to even list them down.
some are favourites because of their music alone and some for both the animation & song.

kannadzuki no miko OP ED by KOTOKO, also love all nanoha OPs by Nana Mizuki, not forgetting Ga-Rei Zero OP by Chihara Minori :)

Death Note Second OP (whats up people)

and

Death Note Second ED (zetsubou billy)

BY FAR, since I think most Openings and especially endings suck ass (endings are slow paces and omg)

But @ Iahel

op - Bebop op and FLCL ed are good too =P

Evangelion (OP & ED)
Death Note (The world)
Macross F (Rion)
Gundam00 S2 (Prototype)

Escaflowne OP & ED is one of the finest I've ever seen.

My favourite OP will probably always be GITS:SAC Season 1's OP, Inner Universe. A close second would be "Stray" from Wolf's Rain.

ED's... Black Lagoon Season 1

Eternal Blaze, opening of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's
Haruhi Suzumiya OP1 ED1

For shows which i have seen in the last 4 months,

OP:Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ (fly away" by THYME)

ED:Soul Eater ED2 (Style by Kana Nishino)

my all time favorite opening song would be from the record of lodoss war. ending was a anime called Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure.

my vote will be for:

[OP] - "sorairo days" by Shoko Nakagawa (tengen toppa gurren lagann)
[ED] - "tsukiakari" by Rie Fu (darker than black)

((^_^))

Im very picky when it comes to Anime Openings and Ending

First I will write down the shows where I liked OP and ED
Amaenaideyo Katsu
Amaenaideyo
Eureka seven
Full Metal Panic
Full Metal Panic Fumouffou
Sekirei
Natsu no Sora

Shows where I only liked the Openings
Rosario + Vampire

Rosario + Vampire Capu2
Hyakko
Magical Pokaan
To love RU
Code Geas R1- Kaidoku Funou
Gun X Sword

Shows where I only liked the Endings
Strike Witches
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Cashern Sins

Death Note's the World and Alumina. Perfect for the show.

Some of all time favourite anime OP songs are:
- "Re-sublimity” by Kotoko, from “Kannazuki No Miko”
- “Inner Universe” by Yoko Kanno, sung by Origa and Shanti Snyder from the first “Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex” series
- “Tank!” by the Seatbelts, from “Cowboy Bebop”
- "Undine" by Yui Makino, from “Aria The Animation” (the other "Aria" opening songs are terrific as well)

Love your picks Danny! I was actually listening to the Die Buster theme in my car the other day. ^_^

there is a lot of songs that come to mind. Most of them R.T. Feat nino, JAM Project, Ali Project or Do as Infity. Of course though, the groups alone consist of like 50% of the anime openings/endings out there. 90% of that is Jam though. they get around =D

But I am having trouble recalling the actual animation sequences that really stood out.

Only one I can think of that was really superb, was Sousei No Aquarion openining.

But some other openings just have some REALLY good vibes. Songs that just get you in a good mood.
Makka na chikai ( Bosou Renkin ) (i will count this as a JAM opening)
Both School Rumble Openings
I am ( Second Inuyasha Opening)
Forever we can make it ( To Love Ru)
and of course Lucky Star OP.

For endings, hrmm. A few Inuyasha ones. "Come" left the stongest impression on me. I really like the way it was animated and the music just added more emphasis to it. which is how it should be done.

Mine would be,

Minami Kaze from Full metal Panic! The 2nd Raid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQSee77C82o

Yuusha Oh Tanjou! from GGG Final:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvpJIA073JQ&feature=related

Dream Shift from RaijinOh:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuNxkTYLZk

And last but not least, the legendary:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyRoF689VRE&feature=related

That Touhou/Strike Witches crossover ED is cute. Currently I'm liking the Kemeko DX ED, and Index OP is great. Toradora OP and ED are very well done too. There's too many songs from anime that I really like so I can't chose favorites without having a huge list, so I'll just leave it at that for now. Maybe I'll do a blog post about it sometime though, good topic.

To be honest, it's hard for me to choose my favorite OP/ED.
Because it changes every time..
Every time a new good one comes out, that one becomes my favorite, and so on..
It seems like I'm not 'loyal to these things xD

*Page Break*

*Page Break*

*Page Break*

My favorite opening is tied between
Noir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qxem3F13KY
and Serial Experiments Lain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XfJwh2cC6o

My favorite ending is the ending for Noir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im_CUwoTDCg

Hmm....one of the best anime OP and ED would be

Innocent Starter - Magical Lyrical Nanoha

Eternal Blaze - Magical Lyrical Nanoha A's

Secret Ambition - Magical Lyrical Nanoha Strikers

Massive Wonders - Magical Lyrical Nanoha Strikers( 2nd Opening )

Unripe Hero - Blassreiter 2nd OP

Detarame na Zanzou - Blassreiter 1st OP

Sad Rain - Blasreiter 1st ED

Wish For The Stars - Blassreiter 2nd ED

Sorairo Days - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

I guess I will Stop here as when writing this I find that there's too much anime OP and ED that I like....=.=

* Cowboy Bebop - Tank!
* Ah! My Goddess TV - Open Your Mind
* Neon Genesis Evangelion - Cruel Angel's Thesis
* Initial D Fourth Stage - Dogfight
* Shuffle! - You

... and sure some more I just forgot right now.^^;

One of my favourite OP is Ai wo Torimodose from Hokuto no Ken, the manliest song for the manliest anime ever. For ED it would be Shiki no Uta from Samurai Champloo.

Neon Genesis Evangelion(Zankoku na tenshi no teeze)
Full Metal Alchemist(Ready Steady GO)

OP: 1)Toradora, 2)Patlabor
ED: 1)Kannagi 2)Toradora

I'm the same as tymmur as I usally skip openings and endings when i watch animes, especially when I'm watching DVDs. Plus, I don't like most of j-pop or j-rock. There are exeptions though. Black Lagoon and Cowboy Bebop fow example. I'm not a fan of house or techno or that stuff but I do enjoy the Black Lagoon OP and I just love the drums in the ED. I would love to get to know that drummer. Cowboy Bebop has the best OP and ED so far, since I'm a great fan of jazz, especially of bebop. I usually don't skip the OPs and EDs of those two.
I also enjoy the OP of Ghost in the Shell Stand alone Complex from tiem to time, even though it's not really my kind of music, but i usually skip it. The Soundtracks of the Ghost in the Shell movies are unrivaled if you ask me and will never be erased from my HDD. Kenji kaai is one hell of a composer and musician.
Then there are Gunslinger Girl, Ergo proxy, Shingetsutan Tsukihime and Elfen Lied. All of them feature great OPs and EDs but I don't watch them everytime. I must say that of those 4 Elfen Lied has the best OP with Lilium. The Music and the Pictures just fit together perfectly, shortly followed by Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Gunslinger Girl and Ergo Proxy.

Well, since we are already discussing that topic, lets talk about the other side as well, shall we?
Yes, I mean Ops and EDs that suck.
As I said before, i don't like most of J-pop and J-Rock but that doesn't mean that they all suck. I am open minded enough to be able to tell if a piece of music is good, even if it doesn't meet my taste. But there are a few OPs and EDs that actually suck, some when it comes to the lyrics, some when it comes to music and some becasue of both.
The one that climbed on the first place recently is Okusama wa Joshikousei. To put it simply, the anime is a gigantic, steaming pile of shits and the OP and the ED perfectly reflect that fact, both when it comes to lyrics and to the music itself. Same with Lively Idol. The Love Hina anime has a crappy OP and soundtrack as well but the ED isn't so bad.
Well, I could go on but I'm already at my sixth cup of coffee today and I want toa void a heart attack caused by me getting all worked up.

So long...

Oh, there are just too many... but here are some:

Hachimitsu to Clover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGg9yZKGxE

Yumeria
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4rr9BeDYVA

I've got a lot of fav. OP/EDs, but off the top of my head...

OP: Ai Yori Aoshi (Towa no Hana), Happy Lesson (Telescope), Kaleido Star (Tattoo Kiss), Negima (Happy Material), Onegai Teacher (Shooting Star), Ranma 1/2 (Omoide ga Ippai), School Rumble 2nd semester (Sentimental Generation), To Love-Ru (Forever We Can Make It)

ED: Kanon (Kaze no Tadoritsuku Basho), Negima!? (A-LY-YA), Popotan (S-U-K-I), Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (Hare Hare Yukai), Toradora! (Vanilla Salt)

I don't know if I can say that I really a favorite OP / ED, but I have always liked the OP from BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad ("Hit in the USA" by Beat Crusaders) and the ED from FLCL ("Ride on Shooting Star" by The Pillows).

I always enjoy the OPs from series Shinichirou Watanabe is involved: Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and now Michiko to Hatchin.

Michiko to Hatchin OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VclNO-aIuaI

Other ops I liked so far: Beck, Elfen Lied, GITS SAC and 2nd gig, Ghost Hound, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Baccano...

I have many I like, but the one that stands out from the bunch is the first season of Higurashi's OP, that one is magical. Not far from it comes Kannazuki no Miko's OP though, that one is awesome as well.

All time classics: all Go Nagai's super robot OP & ED, and many Italian OP & ED of the '70/'80... then:

1) Eureka Seven 4th OP
2) Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori ED
3) Jigoku Shoujo Live Action ED
4) Eureka Seven 3rd OP
6) Gundam Seed Destiny 4th ED
7) Blood + 2nd OP
8) Jigoku Shoujo ED

and many others...

One of the most crazy hyper openings I love is from a OAV called Koharu Biyori. Other then that, I love the ending to Toradora and the opening of Higurashi.

my favorite right now is Soul eater OP2

mmm, 00/SEED OP and ED (all of them) and the Darker than Black OPs (both of them)

My favorite is probably the Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP followed by Higurashi and Macross F.
Btw this is my first post here; hey everybody! :)

Well I'm trying to narrow it down so:

All-time Fav OP: ROUND TABLE - Let me be with you (Chobits)
All-time Fav ED: Shimokawa Mikuni - Alone (Gensomaiden Saiyuki)

Current Fav OP: UVERworld - Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Gundam 00)
Current Fav ED: Sheryl Nome starring May'n - Diamond Crevasse (Macross Frontier)

Hmm, GITS OP of course:P And many others like Darker than Black OP, Macross Frontier OPs, Toradora ED, ...

I wouldn't say they're my favourite, but I found Kemeko DX's OP and ED hilarious...XD

Initial D OP is great, the first one:
m.o.v.e - around the world

A lot of the SEED OP/ED are good like:
Invoke - T.M Revolutions
River - Ishii Tatsuya

And the first ever Naruto ED is my all time favourite:
Wind - Akeboshi

^_^

OP: After that many years, I still love Chobit's Let Me Be With You by ROUND TABLE and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'s Drawing Days by Splay.

ED: Gundam 00's Prototype by Chiaki Ishikawa and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'s Suberidai by Mori Tsubasa.

I love the classics as well as some newer OPs and EDs.

The first OP that I couldn't get enough of was Gundam 0083's 1st OP - The Winner. I remember recording just the opening on VCR back when Toonami was showing Gundam 0083 and playing it over and over again.

Shana OP 2 is my all time fav the song was amaizng so wwas the opening animation and even better it has shana in it : )

Dam she is so ot ( im a teenager sue me )

I tend to like OPs that really set the mood for the anime, rather than just commercial songs slapped on to push record sales.

Samurai Champloo - サムライチャンプルー
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OuRajFzMYI

Kaiba - カイバ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OH1ObXl1NI

Paranoia Agent - 妄想代理人
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-anabfAg06U

Haibane Renmai - 灰羽連盟
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wApAEg0ErgE

Mushishi - 蟲師
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOpvOX_Dfh4

Gunslinger Girl - ガンスリンガー·ガール
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7guTc6vkMj4

Like most people, I had to think about this for a while. I'd say my favorite OPs have been:

Gundam00 S2 (Just amazing...!) [UVERWORLD]
Shakugan No Shana 1st & 2nd Season 1st OPs [KOTOKO & Mami Kawada (I think)]
CLANNAD ~After Story~ [Lia has a gorgeous voice...makes me cry]
Kanon (2008) [Ayana]
BECK [BEAT CRUSADERS]
Kannazuki No Miko [KOTOKO is love]
Fate/Stay Night [NUMBER201]

Favorite EDs would have to be:

Chrono Crusade (Saeko Chiba] - Probably the most repeatedly heartbreaking ending I've ever become addicted to
Macross Frontier [May'n] - Nothing spectacular on the animation side, but the song is amazing

That's all I can think of...

ロードス島戦記

Danny and I seem to share the same tastes in OPs and EDs.

Red Faction on Black Lagoon .. Joint for Shakugan no Shana 2 is always kick ass!

Suppin Rock - Ogawa Mana<br />
No x Limit - Ami Asaba Rio Kariyuki Mai<br />
Kage shape of shadow
Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete - Misato Aki< br/>
Kuchibiru Daydream - Misato Aki

The Michiko to Hatchin opening is awesome, particularly if you like the previous shows from these guys. (Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo)

The only one I can think up right now is Rozen Maiden season 1 and 2 for both OP and ED...

Well for me now R+V Capu2 Opening Discotheque and R+V season1 Dancing on the Velvet Moon.

I like Myself your self violin song.

op and ed from onegai twins and onegai teacher
ed from claymore
ed of elfen lied
op of ikkitousen - dragon destiny
Ghost in the shell SAC op.
these are all i can remember till now.

Toradora OP & ED
Kannagi OP
Black Lagoon OP
Eureka Seven 7 OP & ED
These are what spring into my mind now.

My favorite OP is the first one of Code Geass season 1, "COLORS."
Favorite ED is the first one of Soul Eater, "I wanna be."

If it's just from the music, the ED of Noir is pretty good. It's called Kirei na Kanjou I think. But if you count the scenes, both endings of Fate/Stay Night. The one with Archer made me think "damn Type Moon is awesome." I can't think of an OP that is super awesome right now, so I'll just go with Kannagi since I was just watching it.

Lets see. It took me a day to go through the list...

GitS: SAC first season (Inner Universe by Yoko Kanno)
Cowboy Bebop OP
Serial Experiments: Lain OP (Bought the album just for it)
Macross Plus OP (Voices. The a capella version is one of my favorites.)
Azumanga Daioh OP (It's funny!)
Gunslinger Girl (I'm seriously considering the entire Delgados album for it.)
A couple of the Bleach OP were good.
FLCL closing theme Ride on Shooting Star
A couple of the Code Geass OPs were good. I can't remember the names, sadly.
Paranoi Agent's OP was pretty decent.
The original Guyver OVA's English open (Guyver Rock) was pretty good as a guitar solo.
Death Note's 2nd OP was pretty good too.

There have been others, but I need to go back through them all.

First OP of Gundam OO Season 2 is really good and is done by one of my favorite band Uverworld. Can't think of ED song from current series but I remember Mask which was ED song used for Bakuretsu Hunter(or Sorcerer Hunter) blown me away when I first heard it :)

Cowboy Bebop! The best OP!!!

this time i like

climax jump from den-o

saishou kara saigou made kuraimakkusu da zee!!

what?? thats not an anime you say?

Some of you might barf at my first choice, but it's Gundam SEED Destiny's first OP, Ignited. Helps that they had such dynamic animation for it.

I have a few openings or ending that I like...

hmmm let me see ~

OP:
-Tank! // cowboy bebop
-Cruel angel tesis // Evangelion
-motteke sailor fuku // Lucky star

End:
-Hare hare yukai // Shny
-Fly me to the moon // Evangelion
-I wanna be // Soul eater

that´s it...

ja ne ~

Fave OP is "Chikyūgi" from Saint Seiya Santuary (Hades OVA)

Fave ED is "Yuukyuu no Tabibito ~ Dear boy" from Xenoglossia, though I would rank Diamond Crevasse from Macross Frontier somewhere up there as well.

I like mostly OP and ED from Gundam Seed & Destiny, Gundam 00. And below are my favs:

DAYBREAK'S BELL - L'Arc~en~Ciel (Gundam 00)
Ash Like Snow (Gundam 00)
Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi - UVERWORLD (Gundam 00)
Nirgilis-Sakura (Eureka 7)

There's more but this is my most favs one.

If its in terms of animation an OP would be the Soul Eater one for me.

Can't think of others for now.

I got tons of OPs and EDs on my Zune but as for favs.....

OPs: Sorairo Days - Shoko Nakagawa (Gurren Lagann)
Karma - Bump of Chicken (Tales of the Abyss)
Daybreak's Bell - L'Arc en Ciel (Gundam 00)
My Pace Daioh - Manzo (Genshiken)
Gouin ni Mai Yeah - Ai Nonaka (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei)

EDs: Minna no Peace - Afromania (Gurren Lagann)
Wana - The Back Horn (Gundam 00)
Vanilla Salt - Horie Yui (ToraDora!)
I Wanna Be - Stance Punks (Soul Eater)
Ride on Shooting Star - The Pillows (FLCL)

For favs, I definelety think older anime intros win. Stuff back in the 70s like Lupin, Yamato, Kamen Rider and Harlock.

ah one of my favorite ending track is the one of darker than black (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U82I1a74mdA) OT hmm gotta think a bit more lol there has to be some, I think Die Buster is one of em ^^

Sousei no Aquarion(insert for last episode) Akino - Genesis of Aquarion
Ueki no Hosoku 3rd ending - Ivory Brothers - Kono machi de wa dare mo ga mina jibun igai no nanika ni naritagaru~

My Current Fav is Michiko to Hatchin opening (can't go wrong with jazz :D)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VclNO-aIuaI

Also sayonara zetsubou sensei.

Hmm.. favourites would be:
OP: GITS 2nd season opening
ED: GITS 1st season ending lol

I'm a fan of the Chrono Crusade Opening and Ending songs. they are so beautiful =3

Mm, what comes to mind atm:

Animation + music wise, the Lucky Star OP is definitely up there (probably the only series where I never fast forward during the OP XD).

Some of these I love for the animation + music, some just the music:
OPs: Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Mushishi, Lain, NHK ni Youkouso!
EDs: Black Blood Brothers, Trinity Blood.

And any music that appeared in Samurai Champloo is basically made of win.

I love the OPs and EDs for Shana and Kannagi. The Tora Dora themes are growing on me too.

All of Code geass OPs and EDs,
Macross Frontier OPs and EDs,
Rosario + Vampire Season 1&2 OPs EDs,
Toradora OP&ED, Garei-Zero OP, Index OP,
Soul Eater OP - papermoon.
and more...

Same as Danny for me for the OP. Strike Witches OP one of the best for the past season.

For this season, the ones that hit me are:

Ga-rei Zero OP
Gundam 00 S2 OP
Kannagi OP
Kuroshitsuji OP AND ED (best combination this season)

The only thing I can think of know is the opening of Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG and the ending of Death Note (the one with the song Zetsubou Billy). These two for me, are the best x_x

my current favs...hmm~
Detroit Metal City OP - Satsugai by Detroit Metal City
&
Detroit Metal City ED - Amai Koibito by Negishi Souichi

DMC songs are so freakin' awesome!!!

Sora iro days, Akatsuki no Kuruma, Tori no Uta, and many more

Definitely shana 2nd season first OP...No favorite ED yet...

Like a few others here, I like Cowboy Bebop's OP. And though it no doubt marks me as some sort of anime rube, I love Himiko-Den's OP "Pure Snow" Of course the first time I heard it was on the black-sand beaches of Hawai'i. So maybe that has something to do with it!

I don't have a favourite OP (maybe Gurren Lagann's, but it isn't my favourite).

As for the ED, my favourite one is　四季の歌 (Shiki no Uta), from Samurai Champloo :3

Hmm OPs and EDs... So many to choose from...

Ok, top of my head:

OPs

Shinkon Gattai Godannar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-fndA3-tIU

Fushigi no umi no Nadia The Secret of Blue Water: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_OIGKjSs00

Kikousenki Dragonar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPqTVHAjxs

Overman Kinggainer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97j86qH91Nk&feature=related

EDs

Eureka Seven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-aPxbFI850

Cowboy Bebop and DIe Buster definitely gets my vote for favourite anime OP...
My fav EDs are Midori No Hibi and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!

Bonen no Xamdou OP is great. I also like the GITS song, though not the video.

Both come from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. But in the past, it was far more wide spread. But those songs got burnt out and I am looking for new ones to enjoy. X3

My absolute favourite for a long time is the Air Gear OP - Chain by Back-On. Recently, I have really liked Lion and Triangular from Macross Frontier but nothing else I have heard has ranked so high. I like a lot of songs but very little register for my favourites.

So many OPs and EDs...One I can think of is the G Gundam, "FLYING IN THE SKY", and the Dragonball Z OP, "Cha-la-Head-Cha-la"... Old-School Anime OP/EDs FTW! There's a lot of newer anime themes I like, especially Bleach: "Thank You!", and from Fullmetal Alchemist, "Melissa".

I like the OPs and EDs from Card Captor Sakura, especially Catch You Catch Me

Onegai teacher OP
Kannagi OP
Spice and Wolf ED
Sky Girls Op
Lucky Star Op (ofcourse)
Lucky Star ED (The karoke was very entertaining)
Onegai Twins OP
Kamisama Kazoku OP
To Loveru OP
Chotto Sister ED (neko nyan dance!!!!)

Well my fave OP & ED combo is still Onegai Twins.
You just gotta love em xD
Second flight - KOTOKO and Hiromi Sato
Asu e no namida - Mami Kawada
Pure awesomness.

FLCL [love The Pillows]
GITS SAC 1
Lain
Cowboy Bebop
Hell Girl
Last Exile [OP only]
GITS SAC 2 [I hate the ED song though]
Ergo Proxy
Requiem from the darkness
SoltyRei [OP only]
Samurai Champloo
Gurren-Lagann

I think I would Die though If anyone got Boris to do anything for anime, Boris is GOD.

Favourite OPs: Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 1st OP, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, xxxHolic (music-wise), Blood+ 3rd OP (animation-wise), Lucky Star, Baccano...

And I'm really enjoying the Kannagi and Toradora OPs right now.

Favourite EDs: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Clannad.

It seems that there could be more memorable EDs...although not every ED needs to channel Haruhi.

Kannagi Crazy Shrine Maidens is the best intro for me. The ending song would have to be Koihime Musou. Both for the song and for what's being shown as it plays.

Rurouni Kenshin OP # 1: Sobakasu by Judy and Mary

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=iMrySZZ_v9k

After 10 years, I still like this OP.

cool !!!!

My OPs would be:
Bouken Desho Desho? -Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
Paradise Lost- Gai rei Zero
Motekke! Sera Fuku!- Lucky Star
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Eternal Blaze- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers

My EDs would be:
Hare Hare Yukai- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
Kagayaku Kimi e- Negima!
Why or Why Not- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Hoshizora no Spica- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Taishoua- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

i liked the Lucky Star opening and the Ending of Gun Grave

Arad Senki ending: Just wow. Love 8bit style

Other favorites
