Which animé has the catchiest theme tune?

[silverowl]

oooh there are so many to choose from

ok first: ending song in panty & stocking with garterbelt simply f'ing beautiful
second: opening in needless. sweet sweet rock
third: to love-ru opening: cathciset thing i have ever heard.

that would be my list

 

[Bohemian Waltz]

The opening to Elfen Lied is one of the most beautiful things ever.

But maybe I'm just a sucker for Latin.

 

[Tartarga]

The opener for Gankutsuo is pretty catchy.

Spoiler

Damn that anime was good.

Eureka 7 opening "Days" (by FLOW) is definitely by far the most catchiest theme I have ever heard. Just listen to the beat and you will get hook!

 

[Dead_Man]

pokemon theme hands down

I realise that even mentioning it in any anime discussion has become cliche, but for me Neon Genesis Evangelion is the winner of this thread. It is quite probably the most inappropriately cheerful song in existence, not at all helped by being a powerful ear worm. Behold:

 

[Worgen]

oh, I cant forget nadesco, didnt really like the series but the intro is so good it keeps me from getting rid of the dvds

 

[Optimystic]

In English: Pokemon wins, end of story.

For Japanese its more of a toss-up. Here's my ranking: I'm surprised nobody mentioned Bleach yet! Best opening ever!

Spoiler: 2nd Opening: D-Technolife

2nd runner-up is Soul Eater:

Spoiler: 1st Opening: Resonance

3rd runner-up is shared by two entries from D. Gray-man:

Spoiler: 2nd Opening: Brightdown and 3rd Opening: Doubt and Trust

And finally, I also give props to Tenjou Tenge:

Spoiler: 1st Opening: Bomb-A-Head

 

[Casual Shinji]

The anime is nothing compared to the manga, but the opening is very catchy.

 

[Ken Sapp]

A lot of notable and memorable entries so far but Ranma 1/2 is my personal earworm.

Metal and planet sized explosions? It it any wonder why I loved this show?

 

[Gigano]

Spoiler: The Baccano! opening theme is pretty catchy

Spoiler: As is the Slayers NEXT one.

Spoiler: The one from Monster is probably more haunting than catchy, but still a great piece

Spoiler: And of course I can't avoid mentioning this one for obvious reasons.

Best anime theme tune EVAR.

I have to agree here. One of my top intros.

 

[Palademon]

Does Pokemon count?

Gotta catch 'em all...

Exactly this. This has got to be the most popular and most sung.

[Eri]

Oh also, how could you all leave out this?

 

[Chrinik]

Tabi no Tochuu from Spice and Wolf´s first season...I didn´t expect the song to stick in my head for 2 WEEKS and now I can even sing the Japanese version, without knowing any Japanese at all. I had to force it out with Heavy Metal...Also the ending theme...ENGRISH!
Also, NGE and Elfen Lied had pretty awesome themes.
