fav anime openings/endings

MEGABUMP

I'm watching Bakemonogatari. I can't get this 90 seconds of pure, distilled cute out of my head. HALP.

My favorite opening is a tie between these 3:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6dAQvaA5clo&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6dAQvaA5clo&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9_nZoQeE76Q&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9_nZoQeE76Q&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hb_yMMZL82k&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hb_yMMZL82k&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
 
It's been mentioned but seemingly not linked, but I really did like Spice and Wolf S1's intro. It just seemed so eminently suitable.

Here's a mix I made earlier:
(Original, with additional guitar track, I did the mix but didn't play the instrumental so I can't take much credit)
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/l42Y1vsFVuQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/l42Y1vsFVuQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Also haven't seen it mentioned but I like a lot of Angel Beat's music, not limited to the Op/Ed but here:
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oqlHWHP0lU8?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oqlHWHP0lU8?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BeNs3ZWuB0s?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BeNs3ZWuB0s?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Also, the fact that multiple tracks were available in both guitar and piano/classic variants obviously suited more than just my tastes:
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Im--kWO229o?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Im--kWO229o?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Also as an extra:
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JclRRPMDaFg?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JclRRPMDaFg?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

K-On!!'s "No, Thank you!" also gets a mention, one of my favourite tracks from the show, even if I prefered the first series to the second.

I tend to watch them once and then skip them afterwards. All those minutes add up!

Probably a bit more than the series deserves tbh.
You take that back, you.

You might be right, but that doesn't make it OK. D:
 
Five pages and no mention of Champloo!!! For same, for shame AUKN!

When it comes to Openings and Endings Camploo is surely one of the best.

For shame AUKN.

I do like that Soredemo machi OP, though. I should probably gert round to watching that show, due to the good things I hear.

Depends how much I like it, how much of a cliffhanger the previous episode ended on and how difficult it is to skip (a lot easier for DVDs than for streams).
 
An OP/ED has to be really offensively awful for me to skip it. They're sometimes the best part of a show >_>;

Rui giving away her lack of quality control. :p

One current show I will say that I never skip the OP of, though, is Chihayafuru, so I guess there are exceptions for me. I also never skipped the first Guilty Crown OP.
 
Whoa this thread is ancient. I feel so old looking back at the start...
