Favorite TV Show Openings/ Credits

[uchytjes]

Spoiler: well Nichijou is always good.

But I honestly have to say that I prefer this surprisingly well done fandub:

Spoiler: Soul Eater's opening is also pretty good

Spoiler: But I have to say that my favorite at this time would be Sword Art Online

Is it wrong that I kind of want a game and gaming system like that of the nerve gear? I mean, it would be like a holodeck that doesn't require its own dedicated room.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

When doing marathons of shows I tend to skip them unless I really like them. I had not realized you had made that thread Lechat, I did a quick search to make sure I was not repeating a recent thread and did not see it.

Another one I like, mostly because of the song, is Outlaw Star's intro.

Well damn, there goes my first answer. I loved that opening, it's so damned funky. And someone already said Tank as well?

Aha, no one has said this yet! Third favourite choice, away!

 

[Mauler]

My favourite would be in descending Order:Games of thrones, Firefly, Farscape, Star trek: Voyager(good music), Star trek:TNG(Patrick's Stewarts narration is the best), And LOST...

 

[Sacman]

Ooh, nice. I dig that Baccano! Opening.

definitely one of the best in all of anime. It's my first purchased anime series for a reason.

OT:

would have included the world at war (documentary) opening, but it's impossible to find a version that isn't just the music.

Spoiler: steins;gate

Spoiler: cowboy bebop

Spoiler: Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG

Spoiler: the melancholy of Haruhi Suzamiya

Spoiler: death note

Spoiler: trigun

Spoiler: lucky star

Spoiler: clannad: after story

enough for now.

Never enough!

there can only be one best Anime opening... and my vote goes to...

Spoiler: Scifi Harry

Or

Spoiler: Elfen Lied

Because if you're gonna rip classic art, it might as well be ripped from my favorite artist...<.<

Spoiler: Now doesn;t that look familiar?

 

[Sp3ratus]

Spoiler: Boardwalk Empire's various credits songs.

The various old songs in the credits is nice as a temporary farewell and reflection of the episode.​

I quite like the opening theme as well:

Spoiler: Boardwalk Empire intro

My favourite though, is:

Spoiler: Treme intro

I'm not normally into jazz, but that song is awesome.

 

[Mordekaien]

The aforementioned Game of Thrones is very good, and I have to put this here

Spoiler: Carnivale

That show is really epic, btw.

 

[Snownine]

Another that came to mind, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


And what the heck here is the season 2 opener of Farscape as well!

 

[HDi]

It's not from a TV show, but the title sequence from seven is fucking awesome.

 

[Zhukov]

I kinda liked the Battlestar Galactica intro.

Nice solemn music, and that image of Kara going down the fighter launch tube with the lights flashing on her face kinda became iconic to me.

 

[lechat]

Well damn, there goes my first answer. I loved that opening, it's so damned funky. And someone already said Tank as well?

Aha, no one has said this yet! Third favourite choice, away!

damn that brings back memories but regardless i see your xmen and raise you xmen evolution

i fall in love with shadowcat everytime i watch this

 

[Ieyke]

House M.D. probably has the most powerful Opening and closing credits combo.

Fringe (beautiful song and it even has the X-Files theme hidden in it at 3:28)

Gargoyles (utterly badass)

Veronica Mars (the intro somehow manages to focus all of the depressing tragedy, the avenging, and the humor into 30 seconds...)

Warehouse 13 (the weight and power of history...in musical form)

ROME

Bullet In The Face

True Blood

Eureka

Batman The Animated Series

Batman Beyond

Cowboy Bebop closing credits (The Real Folk Blues)

Knight Rider

Metalocalypse

The Venture Bros

Dexter

Elementary

Jack Of All Trades (it's a drinking song)

Stargate SG-1

Stargate Atlantis

Top Gear







Add me to the list for:
Game Of Thrones
X-Men TAS
Firefly
Cowboy Bebop
Avengers:Earth's Mightiest Heroes

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Spoiler: Elfen Lied

Holy Crap! Boobs on The Escapist! How did this website get better all of a sudden?

OT:

Here are a few of my personal favourites

Spoiler: Transformers Animated (Japanese Intro)

No fair! How come Japan got a better (if heavily inaccurate) opening than we did?

Spoiler: Baccano!

There are a lot of intros I like, but this one in particular is one which I'll watch every single time because it's so damn good

Spoiler: Dexter

Never has watching people eat breakfast been so enjoyable

Spoiler: Hellsing

As much as I prefer Hellsing Ultimate, this intro is still pretty damn cool

Spoiler: Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop. 'nuf said.

I'd post some more but I'm basically repeating a lot of what everyone else is saying. So I'll just leave it short.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Just to name a few:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Any version, really.)
Megas XLR
Cowboy Bebop
Batman the Animated Series
The A-Team
Firefly

And that's just all I can think of right now... I'l probably add links later.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

I'll go with Game of Thrones and Batman TAS.

It's so long.

Also, you might want to put some spoiler tags on that.

 

[Jewpacabra]

In terms of a concise, tight intro that wastes nothings, Titus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LwtL8-5QpM
In terms of awesome, and just being the best, Cowboy Bebop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6zDfxZ4NcE

 

[Gabanuka]

Weird that there's no decent quality version of this with the video


Weirder is the lack of the Avatar intro on youtube.

 

[xplosive59]

Since Baccano! and Cowboy Bebop have already been said, I present to you the best opening in all of anime (other than those two).


Still classy as fuck, over 35 years later!

also, this is how you set the tone for an epic space opera, based around tactics and politics.
