    Favorite Opening and Closing Themes

    Naruto has been praised for its music by many, so I'm just curious what everyone's favorite Opening or Ending themes are. Many of them have been pretty damn good, and stand as great songs all by themselves. I'm not suprised if most people's favorites are earlier ones, though. Some of the more recent ones have sucked...kinda badly.

    Since I know everyone else is gonna say "Haruka Kanata" was the best OP, I'll list "Seishun Kyosokyoku" as my favorite. It's really upbeat, and I like the kind of 70's funk the guitar parts have. I also really like Sambomaster (the band). The lead singer is pretty good and has a distinctive sound. The animation that went along with it was also really dynamic, showing all the characters running/jumping/fighting. Watching it always got me pumped and ready to watch the episode.

    My favorite ending theme, by far, is "Ima Made Nando Mo". For some reason I really love the full version of that song. The lead singer is so awesome, and the piano and organ parts they integrate into it are great - especially at the very beginning and very end. I think they fit so well. It's also got this "epic" feel to it (at least, morso than the other EDs), so it's a really memorable song for me.

    Let the wave of "Haruka Kanata" responses roll in!

    Edit: Also, feel free to list what you thought the worst themes were too.

    "Seishun Kyosokyoku," along with the visuals, captures the mindset of the Sasuke-chase Arc. Or perhaps it's more the visuals and the music just reinforces it? Either way, I like it.

    Speed is just too funny. I can't watch the particular ending that it plays in and NOT think "Kishimoto on Crack," sorry Xan, it was a joke.

    Gotta go with "Go!". Its very catchy and Jiraya getting distracted by the women painted on the wall then being kicked by Naruto in the ass is hilarious. "Speed" cause I couldn't think of an ending as catchy as that one.

    I'll go with Seishun Kyosokyoku and Viva Rock ~Japanese Side~. The songs themselves were awsome
    and the ending for Viva Rock was great with all the characters walking across.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Haruka Kanata for the opening. Haven't picked which ending I prefer, since I usually skip them...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    lol, that's my favorite part too.

    If anyone has not heard the full versions of any of these songs, by the way, I encourage you to download them. Some of them are kinda different, and most of the longer versions are much better (especially Viva Rock). You can get them at Narutofan. So go!

    Haruka Kanata is too overplayed...used to be my favorite, but now "No Boy No Cry" is my favorite. The whole intro sequence with Naruto, Neji, Chouji, Kiba, and Shikamaru is the best.

    Naruto's music has been praised? Wow, that's funny. I thought most people disliked the ops/eds of this show. Well, most of them suck anyway [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    The best ones are Haruka Kanata (obviously) for the opening, and Alive for the ending. For some reason I really enjoy that song. It's pretty.
    CUPCAKES BABY!

    Man no one liked the third opening? I loved it, almost as much as hurta kanada. It was so sad with poor baby neji, garra, hinita, and naruto. Still one of my favorites. I've pretty much liked most of the openings. Wasn't that crazy about go and I hated last two godawful filler theme songs. Grrrr they made me angry only good thing about them was the badass silluette with the atsuki only redeeming thing. Well maybe we'll finally get a good opening again in april.

    Haruka Kanata is a great piece of music, but since it's anyway (always) getting so many votes, I'll vote for Rocks even though nobody else seems to like (the only other vote being a mistake it seems, heh heh), but for some obscure reason I like it. Wind for Ending, because I haven't liked the rest that much.
