The Anime Openings Thread

Post by Apollo the Just » Wed Sep 14, 2016 10:52 am

I made a similar thread back in like 2012, but all of the video embed codes were different then so the thread is basically unreadable now. So I'm making a new one.

This is my current love, please share your favorites:

This is almost definitely what I posted in the last thread, but **** it, it's still the best opening of the whole 6 shows I've watched.

That is a solid one.

I most definitely posted this in the last thread, but it's another one I really like:

One of my more recent favorites. Love how upbeat the music is in contrast to what the lyrics mean, if the translation I've seen was accurate.

^^ Future Diary is such a great show. Try reading Platinum End, it's similar.

Here's one of my favorites:

I'm numb to this one I've seen it so much but it's visually intensive, I like it a lot:

It's impressive for something from the early 80's. Gotta admit.

It's nothing too special but I've always liked the opening to 8th MS Team.

You know, 'Adventures of Kotetsu' was nothing special, in the final estimation. I barely remember the plot, the characters.

That said, the opening is fantastic. It deserves to be attached to a better property, dude.
