    1) Neon Genesis Evangelion OP
    2) Death note second op(i love metal so its obvious)
    3) GitS OP - Inner Universe by Origa
    4) Ergo Proxy OP
    Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3
    Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?

    Here's the GitS:SAC 2nd Gig opening that I couldn't find anywhere on the internet. I cropped it from my archived copy and uploaded on Youtube for your enjoyment. Unfortunately, it looks like shit after Youtube did its "processing."

    edit: video removed. Will try to upload a better quality one.

    I second both of these. I've never seen GitS, but I'm in love with that soundtrack, and pretty much any song by Origa. Darker than Black comes in second for my favourite metal selection. It's just not heavy enough to surpass Death Note.

    My other favourite OP is Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. This is the only OP that I watched all the way through for every episode of the show. I usually skip the OP for a show after I've seen it once, and even the ones I like I'll only watch a few times before I start skipping them. Higurashi was just strangely addicting and compelling.

    Good openings (can't decide which one is the best, but since people postet more than one):
    Black Lagoon OP
    Ookiku Furikabutte OP2
    Beck OP (really good)
    Spice and Wolf opening
    Fate/Stay night OP1


    and naturally The Kannagi Opening (which I couldn't find) and the last 2 Naruto openings... Blue Bird (akatsuki version) and Closer...Toradora Opening is good too since it is something new... Rozen Maiden OP2 is also nice.. there are too many sry :/

    some from Bleach are really good too.. never watched it but I think there is one called
    Rolling Star
    If I'm not totally mistaken

    Endings:

    I don't nearly like as many endings as I like openings and I have a favorite too (or 2)

    it's
    Beck ED1 (here the version when the song was played in the anime)
    and
    Beck ED2
    it's the "english" version of the original "engrish" one... and it's one of the few songs which could hit 1# in the charts any time imho ^^


    other good endings are:Fate/Stay Night ED1, Chobits ED2 and naturallySuzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - Hare Hare Yukai ^^


    btw someone should make a "best game-intro/ending video/credits" thread


    edit: oops I totally forgot
    Elfen Lied Opening + Ending
    <3 both

    Higurashi's op was certainly something.
    3 OP's i really like are:
    Chouja Reideen OP1
    Dunno this OP.... I never skipped it once while watching the series, think its pretty cool for some reason.
    Gundam X OP1
    this just sounds catchy >_>
    Ga Rei Zero
    this op is just full of win somehow <_<

    edit:

    how could i forget this op
    Basilisk
    Not only does it have a badass metaphorical message at the start, the OP itself is pretty good too.

    Oh man this thread reminded me of alot of good animes I've watched.

    Now these openings I am going to link are not particularly from the anime per say, but its from the fate/stay night PC game and the PS2 game. Its still anime, so equally as awesome.

    Fate/Stay Night PC Game Opening 1(Fate Route)

    Fate/Stay Night PC Game Opening 2 (Unlimited Blade Works Route)

    The song itself is called "THIS ILLUSION" while the anime's version of that song was called "disillusion". The songs are the same but slightly different video.

    Fate/Stay Night Réalta Nua PS2 Game Opening

    Fate Route

    Unlimited Blade Works Route

    Heaven's Feel Route

    The song is called "Ougon no Kagayaki" by MAKI. All the same song but different animation.

    "Chrono is our Religion. In the name of the Chrono, the Zeal, the Trigger and Cross, Amen."

    Wow those are awesome

    Makes me feel even more depressed about having finished the game yesterday

    Is it bad for me to watch these while I'm still playing Rin's prologue? *watches*

    Is "This Illusion" sung by the same person who did "disillusion"? Overall, the first song sounds inferior, maybe it's just YouTube.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

  12. #32
    No, it's done by a much inferior performer and most likely produced with nowhere near the professional effort as Disillusion.

    For the best anime opening, it would be Gundam 00 season 1 : Daybreak's Bell by L`Arc~en~ciel. As for the best anime ending, Toward the Terra : Love is... by Miliyah Kato.
    Pretty random though

    <3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.

    My all time favorite is Kimi no soba de from Recca no Honou (ED).

    My current favorite is Bouken Suisei from Tales of the Abyss (ED). This song probably has one of the best lyrics that I have ever heard.

    Third Bleach ending is the best in anime. It features LIFE by YUI, greatest song ever.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
