Hey all =D
If you had to pick which anime opening and ending are your favorites of all time, which would they be, and why? For me, it's:

Neon Genesis Evangelion OP 1: "A Cruel Angel's Thesis"

And for endings, a tie between:

Death Note ED 2: "Zetsubou Billy"

Naruto Shippuden ED 6: "Broken Youth"

Opening is tough, cause it changes quite frequently for me. Right now, it's probably this one. I just love the song.


For endings, though, it's definitely this one, for the same reason.



"Abnormalize" from Psycho-Pass is the opening, in case it doesn't show.

Opening from Kids on the Slope, song is great.


Ending theme from Samurai Champloo, song is just so chill.

If I had to pick just one.

Opening:

or


Ending:


I don't like picking two, but those openings are both so good. I love the music for the openings a lot. For Soul Eater, I love the Maka running with flashes of the villains as it gives off a serious tone and then it gets fun with the other half. I really like it. The Naruto opening is my favorite Naruto opening. I love it because so much is going on and so many characters appear. The Kage Summit is one of my favorite arcs too. As for the ending, Obito is my favorite villain in Naruto and that ending shot with him putting his hand on Rin and she walks through him just is so awesome. I love it.

Steins;Gate and Fate/Zero had really nice openings imo. As for endings, I never really watched those ._.

There are so many candidates for the best OP, can't really decide.. I guess I'll go with Evangelion's OP



As for ED, the fifth ending of Hunter x Hunter (2011) takes the cake.

(Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) OP 2. It's also the song that plays in the final episode as the ending. So good.

(HxH 2011) ED 1. All the endings of HxH are awesome, OP 2 and 5 are the runners up.


for some reason I can't post more than one video, does anyone know how to fix this?

Your tastes are creepily similar to mine... are you, by any chance, stalking me?

The two Guilty Crown openings are stunning. The anime itself is only average; it had a good first half but the second was mediocre at best.

It's just that we both have good taste.

Guilty Crown is perhaps one of the most aesthetically pleasing anime I've seen to date. The animation was spectacular and the soundtrack is one of my favorites, though on the whole, I generally agree with your opinion for the most part.

Though my favorite video of the ones I posted is probably "Arakawa Under the Bridge"
