Title: Favorite anime opening themes?
Post by: Naniyue on August 11, 2024, 09:29:11 PM

 1.  Robotech

 2.  Starblazers/Yamato

 3.  Lodoss (OVA)

 4.  Cowboy Bebop

 5.  Area 88 (TV)

 That's it off the top of my head, anyway.  Yours?

Escaflowne - "Yakusoku wa Iranai"
DNA? - "Blurry Eyes"
Rurouni Kenshin (3rd season ending) - "Heart of Sword"
Evangelion- "Cruel Angel's Thesis"
DBZ - "Head-Cha-La" <- I think this is on everyone's list :)

Bubblegum Crisis - anything! all the tunes are bangers.

 1.  Robotech

I get a wave of excitement, spine-tingling chills, and nostalgic euphoria when I hear the Robotech theme.

Lodoss Chronicles of the Heroic Knight opening is great.  They probably spent most of the money on this opening though:

Not sure if RWBY counts, but I've had "This will be the day" stuck in my head for like 10 years thanks to season 1's opening music:

Ossan newbie is a good one, I really enjoyed that show too.  We need more anime about older dudes living their best life.

Agree 100%. I've been actively looking for more like it. Kaiju #8 is kind of the sameish. If only this genre could replace isekai as the current fad....

I always liked the intro to the 90s Berserk anime.

While I'm on the subject of English in anime music, the soundtrack to FLCL was very good but doesn't really count as an intro but oh well, here ya go anyway.

More an earworm than a favorite. Macross 7 was certainly the weakest of the bunch but seriously amped up their intro game with Dynamite, especially that chorus.
