What are the best Anime intro of all time?
- Thread starter Makoto Yuki
- Start date
If we're talking mainstream, Bleach has this down pack. Naruto is close, but Bleach has far more consistency.
Those first three openings are GOAT.

Totally forgot, GitS had legendary openings.
Yes, I think it might be my best anime of 2017.
Just got to episode 47 and heard this for the first time. Glorious.
Gotta show some love to Platina Jazz, turning your fav anime intros into smooth sound~~
I'm just gonna list off a bunch of my favorites:
Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Neon Genesis Evangelion (that gospel cover posted earlier was amazing btw), Yu Yu Hakusho, and every single Jojo op in existence (Bloody Stream and Great Days especially). Those are the best ones I've seen. I don't watch a whole lot of anime though.

I wouldn't say best, but I always liked the German opening to Naruto and Golden Boy.

Like the 4kids one piece opening the original non rap version is legit good.
I always liked "believe" as my favorite one piece intro btw.
Yes! Maison is my all time fav anime, and I'm always wondering if I just dreamed about an English opening for it once.
Anyway, the best op is Escaflowne and y'all know it

Yea that was dope as well

Oh shit, almost forgot this one:
Are there still people who legit hate the Pirate Rap?
The funi dub of We Are is pretty good too. The lyrics make me feel fuzzy inside.
If we're talking Gundam, then there's no substitute.
It was extremely short lived, haha. Like one or two episodes.

Baccano's is still so impressive to me. It's not the most flashy or alluring intro out there, but the way it all flows into each other is so smooth. It effortlessly introduces you to the large cast to show what they're like and what their dynamic is with some of the others, and teases both small and huge plot points. The biggest thing it has working against it is that it doesn't have any vocals, which will make it less memorable among other OPs. I do think their choice of music fits the show perfectly though.
This is pretty much exactly how Jojo was introduced to me. I assumed it was just another of those bland fight-animes of which there are thousands, and none of the people I knew that watched it were willing to give me spoilers. We were at an impasse where I didn't want to give it a try, and they didn't know how to sell it to me without ruining part of the ride. One person showed me two Jojo OPs, and it was what helped me take the plunge. They showed off perfectly my preconceived notions on the show's vibe and style were misplaced. The series is stylish as fuck, weird as hell, and so camp that you'll be expecting to roast marshmallows at some point.
Not sure how others feel about it but honestly, Part 3's Last Train Home is the best ending.
It's one of the few endings to actually get an emotional reaction from me.
I will say though, I'm going through Part 4 right now (just got into the series, plan on making an LTTP when I finish Part 4 and do it for the whole anime up to that point), and got to say... Outside the latest opening (breakdown), the openings for Part 4 are honestly super disappointing. Since they didn't outsource it for the CGI like they did for Parts 1 ~ 3 it felt far more generic. Like 100000000% times more generic.
Hot damn, someone besides me remembers Beck! That opening is great.
Ouran doesn't have the slickest opening, but Sakura Kiss is a banger!
I've always been a fan of this OP from Blood+
It's alright once the villain shows up.
It's no Roundabout.
I think overall Bloody Stream is my favorite of the OPs but I got to give it for Part 3's Second Opening, Sono Chi no Kioku, specifically when it 'changes' near the final episodes.
(Spoilers for the show if anyone here plans on watching it.)
This thread is killing my browser so I won't add another Youtube embed, but Michiko & Hatchin's OP is a triumph of graphic design and club jazz. And the dancing animation in Hare & Guu's OP is something special.
I did like the change, but I'm just honestly not a big fan of OP3. OP2 always got me in the mood for Jojo.
I have such a hard time choosing my favorite FMA Brotherhood OP. Honestly, while the earlier ones were incredible, OP5 did such a good job as the final OP.
This really is the best answer. I have yet to visit a karaoke bar that doesn't have the song.
Ergo Proxy, GITS:SAC were both amazing. Eureka Seven also had tons of amazing music, not just in the intro. Eureka Seven holds a special place in my heart.
Gotta go with FMA: Brotherhood opening 4.
Naruto Shippuden opening 4 is a close second. I can't find a Youtube link for it that works, as a copyright block seems to be in effect for it the UK. :(
