Favorite Anime Openings and Endings

[DarthTrey]

so yeah i was thinking about all the Anime Openings and endings that I've seen trying to come up with my favorite and realized that I can't come up with 1 favorite as their are too many uber ones.  I figured I would open this up to an open discusion to see what other people thought.



Opening Favs.
Last normal Naruto Opening - Yura Yura
Elfen Lied Opening
Bleach  2nd season opening
Samurai Champloo Opening theme

Ending Favs.
Claymore Ending Theme
Death Note Second Season Ending


Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.


What do you guys like?

Openings:
Naruto First opening, -Rocks, (Frankly because of the ridiculous engrish)
Basilisk Opening
Kujibiki unbalance opening(Aka first opening of Genshiken)
Ghost In the Shell S.A.C Opening

Endings:

MOST EPIC FUCKING OPENING. EVER.

even if the anime was complete shit.

[DarthTrey]

what was bad about the anime?  Looks freaking sweet

[Macampos]

Full Metal Alchemist 2nd Dubbed Opening - Rewrite (ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)

Karas Opening (Not sure if that's how it's spelled, however. The opening was the quickest I had ever seen. Not in length, but action.)

[motoh]

Damn, haven't seen that lovely Lodoss op in a while, and yes, the anime did suck.  I could get more out of a Salvatore novel for good story.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei op - hilarious, the music has a defiantly antisocial theme to it I like...
Claymore ed - of course.  Though the opening needs to go, seriously.
Darker Than Black op 1 - A radiohead tribute band doing anime openings?  <3

You didin't like the Claymore OP? I thought Raison D'etre was a pretty good song choice...

Also, A. B. S. is badass...

I don't like Nightmare as a band, they sound so feminine imo 

[Satsujinki]

the opening reflects aboslutely NOTHING to do with the anime.

the manga is worth a good read though, and i heavily suggest picking it up sometime.

[Pikachu_Fragger]

Christ, I have a lot of faves, and this is considering that I usually skip OPs and EDs when watching. It's only when the music feels epic enough that I actually sit through them. In fact, I may have missed a few.

OPs:
Motteke! Sailor Fuku - Lucky Star
Tori no Uta - Air (cried manly tears at the end)
Sketch Switch - Hidamari Sketch (oh God, I can't stop clapping to this and swaying like a kid on a sugar rush)

Re-Sublimity - Kannazuki no Miko (anime sucked though)
Innocent Starter - Nanoha
Eternal Blaze - Nanoha A's
Dogfight - Initial D 4th Stage
Noizy Tribe - Initial D 4th Stage
Higurashi No Naku Koro ni - Higurashi 1st Season (USO DA!!!)
Naraku No Hana - Higurashi 2nd Season (moar epic version can be seen here. Warning though; there's gratuitous worksafe pics and Satoko's uncle being chased with a bat.)
Bouken Desho, Desho? - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
Face of Fact REVOLUTION - Baldr Force Exe
Hitomi no Naka no Meikyuu - Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (also known as the role where Mamiko Noto is a badass and :fap:s to her sister)
Dramatic - Honey And Clover 1st Season (series in general made me laugh and cry manly tears)
Colorless Wind - Sola
I Say Yes - Zero no Tsukaima 2nd Season (OH GOD LOUISE IS flat lol )
Colors - Code Geass
Nightmare - Jigoku Shoujo 2nd Season

EPs:
Yoake Umare Kuru Shoujo - Shakugan no Shana
Agony - Kannazuki no Miko
Hare Hare Yukai - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
