cantspeakjapanese Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Just started watching Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo. The anime was meh but the OP (Black † White by Iori Nomizu) was kickass. Anyone encounter something similar where the OP kind of got you more into the anime then you otherwise would have? Quote
Nosebleed Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 There's so many cases where this happens I can't even.. It's like the whole anime budget was directed torwards licensing the OP/ED song instead of financing the anime. One of the most recent for me has been the OP song for Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio which was a meh anime but had an awesome OP (because nano<3). Another example would be Little Busters' entire OST which is amazing but the anime fails on multiple levels. Then again the original is adapted from the VN. So Ra No Wo To, Mirai Nikki, Mondaiji-Taichi and Naruto are also good examples of rememberable opening songs but not so great shows. The list is vast~ Quote
Flutterz Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 The Higurashi anime was decent, but both seasons' OPs were amazing. Quote
Arturia Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 For openings, my favorite would be the Kakumeiki Valvrave, for both seasons...then there is the Opening's for SOA..those are my top favorite..As for endings...i hardly watch them, i might do that from now on though..the only ending that comes to mind is the first season of K-On!...liked that one. Quote
Charmanderson Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Only one that comes to mind is Mawaru Penguin Drum, the anime was nothing extraordinary, but fine, unlike the OP wich was great. I love it in so many levels. Quote
Nayleen Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Sakurasou's first OP and ED songs were the absolute bomb and fit the series so amazingly well; They were the reason I looked up the anime (from playing Days of Dash on Osu!) and got me hooked immediately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcwzDxqzpo0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxkJoIhr6o Quote
Kaguya Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Sister's Noise from railgun solely because of Touma's "wtf am I doing here?" face at 1:21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZPZ4kWQP8 Also, this op from Index because we all know that every good opening >MUST< have the protagonist running for some reason. Yukiru and Amano Sora 2 Quote
AkihisaYoshii18 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Problem Children's OP does come to mind, but I enjoyed the show a lot. Steins;Gate's op "Hacking to the Gate" needs mentioned. Any K-on ending. I hate Yui siinging. Madoka Magica Op/Ed, and for a shounen pick, anything Attack on Titan. Also, Chuu2 season 1 op/ed. Quote
Amano Sora Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Yea. The Op for Tokyo Ravens... Watched til ep 4 thn got bored... But cuza the op imma give it another chance. Quote
cantspeakjapanese Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Yea. The Op for Tokyo Ravens... Watched til ep 4 thn got bored... But cuza the op imma give it another chance. I had the same experience with BTOOM!. I found the series somewhat boring but the theme song kept drawing me in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZu7sXzNHLw On the opposite side, I challenge anyone to watch the Anime series Macademi Wasshoi opening through the first five episodes. The series itself tolerable but man ass along with the most annoying theme song ever created turned me right off the show. Quote
KuroShi Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I really liked Ao no Exorcist's openings, maybe more than the anime itself. Blood Lad would be another one, though I did enjoy the anime quite a bit. Quote
Nosebleed Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Oh one that just came to mind. The OP for Haiyore Nyaruko-san The anime is average at best but that intro STAYS in my head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNxkdG81W5w Shaward 1 Quote
Charmanderson Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Now that i give it some tought, remembered that the thing that made me contiue watch Bakemonogatari when i was just starting it was the ED "Kimi no shiranai monogatari", now Monogatari is my favorite anime with my favorite ED. It's also kind of funny that Monogatari not only has my favorite ED, it also has the OP that I find the most annoying OP of all times, Bakemonogatari's Hachikuji OP. Don't know the name and can't put video because I'm on my cellphone but man, I hate that OP. EDIT: Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari Obnoxious OPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25AaMBlWF1w Quote
GodofGUN13 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Darker than Black's OP song was pretty decent the first one although Howling I believe it was called. Fairy Tail was an anime that had some decent songs however... Quote
Arturia Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 oh ya reminded me of the Opening for Death note both of them aswell as watemote...i enjoy the dark themed openings Quote
Yukiru Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Sister's Noise from railgun solely because of Touma's "wtf am I doing here?" face at 1:21 That made me laugh more than it should. Tari Tari anime was great at some moments but what kept me watching it were mostly the songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RxjfldhRDI Quote
ikahomine Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I really love Share The World (DBSK) of One Piece. I don't get tired watching it again and again. Also Out of Control of Psycho Pass Quote
Scars Unseen Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of J-pop/rock so there are only a couple of OP that I really like. As for my favorite, the one that popped into my mind immediately was Serial Experiments Lain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-PkAQcuZOw Some others I enjoy are Trigun, Noir and Cowboy Bebop. As for ending songs... well it's kind of cheating since it's from a movie, but I love the song that plays at the end of Armitage III: Polymatrix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD5C4U7Zf-c Quote
Rea_x_Chihiro Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 All of Nano.RIPE OP and ED probably except their ED for Bakuman(I guess?). Many would agree their success for Hataraku's ED,Jinrui's OP,Sankarea's OP and HanaIroha's OP. btt,I like Air Gear OP. Quote

Many would agree their success for Hataraku's ED,Jinrui's OP,Sankarea's OP and HanaIroha's OP. btt,I like Air Gear OP. No Non Non Biyori!? But yes Nano.RIPE is great too. I also sense a lack of Yanagi Nagi who made the ED for Bakemonogatari with supercell and also the OP for Oregairu and of course that amazing and most recent ED for Nagi no Asukara: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRtFX_MilPo Quote
Rea_x_Chihiro Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 No Non Non Biyori!? But yes Nano.RIPE is great too. Ah yes that one too,"Nanairo Biyori".Forgot about it since I haven't yet watch the anime. http://youtu.be/klFVxGAacz0 Amano Sora 1 Quote
skypy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 kyaa, air gear is great too but my favorite now is OP of C - The Money of Soul and Possibility Control and D-frag Quote
Yukiru Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Air Gear! oh that brings back many memories, that's one of my first anime ever, i liked that op a lot. Anyway this one is the most badass, epic and gorgeous opening i can think of: it would be perfect if a certain horrible witch wasn't there~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQw1wuYV_zQ Quote
maliksusanto Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hyadain no Kakakata Kataomoi-C by Hyadain from Nichijou Anime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfF7HqZm_vA Always Listen this song everyday XD (The OP is just epic, To bad the Second OP is not epic like this) Amano Sora 1 Quote
