What're your favorite openings and endings from anime?

My favorite openings are: the one from Cowboy Bebop(It fits the show so perfectly! ^^)(Sorry I don't know the name), GO!!(4th Naruto opening), Uverworld(2nd Bleach opening) and White Night - True Light(D•N•Angel's opening).

I'm not that fond of most endings for some reason, but I like the first Naruto ending, the Naruto one where everyone is marching and the third Bleach opening.

I love the ending to Azumanga Diaoh... not only because it's one of the few Anime's I've watched but also beacuse it always makes me giggle hearing them sing "Rasuberry Heaven"... The japanese have such trouble with the letter 'R' and I love the added 'U' in Raspberry.

well my favorite opening is prolly fullmetal alchemist. I just like the music, i like the scene, just overal goodness.

as far as ending i just love berserk, its so negative and hateful, its WONDERFUL

I have 4 CDs just with original openings.

It's hard to pick a favourite...
But if I have one, I'd say that's the 4th opening of NARUTO.

I also like the openings of:

- Digimon (all of them)
- FullMetal Alchemist (same here)
- Gravitation
- Saint Seiya ("Knights of the Zodiac", all except 'The Hades' saga opening.)



I also have 4 clips (mix of anime scenes and music)

- Bastard + (dont't know the name of the song)
- Fatal Fury OVA + Mortal Kombat (from MK Movie)
- rurouni kenshin OVA ("Samurai X -- Reminiscence") + Bloody Sunday (U2)
- YuYu Hakusho ("Ghost Files") MOVIE + (dont't know the name of the song)
- misc anime + (dont't know the name of the song)

PS.
As you noticed, I don't know much about music

Oh goddd. Everytime I see this question I can only imagine the few openings and endings I've heard and most of which I didn't care or like hahaha.

Openings.....all of the ones I've seen were in Japanese. (You'll get why I make note of this later.) So of all, I guess I'd say ParaKiss's opening since Georgiee <333 is in it, or Peach Girl's. Just because it makes Momo look kind of like a whore hahahaha. (I like Adachi though, she's a sweetheart. 8D )

My DEFINATE favourite ending would DEFINATELY be....

Paradise Kiss's ending with all the cute chibi characters and FRANZ FERDINAND playing in the background hahaha. Don't ask me why some english song is playing in a japanese anime, but it certainly was entertaining.

Every single one opening and ending for Ranma 1 1/2, they are so beautiful.

I am actually not kidding, I think Ranma is such a pretty anime i just want to cuddle with someone and watch what true anime love is like. Shampoo is ridiculously hot man. And Akane, and Kasumi, and the other sister. Dont know about ranma, that would just be weird.

Eureka Seven - OP1 & OP4
Bleach - OP1
Chobits - OP - (its so catchy XD)
DearS - OP - (its also catchy XD)

hmm dont watch that much anime (nothing much caught my interest) But 1 that did was full metal alchemist. Saw the into of 1 of the episodes (equivelant exchange) and was hooked after watching the episode.

Another was tenchi muyo (1st series) It was only on maby the last 4 or all 11 episodes. I call it the pioneer into. Catchy and it never leaves ur head for a week straight lol.

I really liked the first and second season opening and closings for Eureka Seven. Right after that. . . I guess Nurse Witch Komugi. That opening was filled with energy, and was just plain hilarious.

I can't think of any openings that I really liked. However, my favorite ending had to be the one from Android Kikaider. I just LOVED the melody of it.

I can't remember what number it is, but my favourite opening is from Naruto, the one where they're all star gazing and such at the end, it's on around episodes 160-180 as far as I can remember. Either that or the second opening for Gundan SEED.

I don't know about favourite ending though, I've really payed much attention to them. I guess the first naruto one was alright, so I'll pick that.

I am stuck with a number of OP and ED choices for different reasons...

Kami-Chama Karin OP - emo-licious look and sound to an overly cute anime

Sumomomo Momomo OP #1 ( Saikyou OX Keikaku ) - Best opening line ever..."Lets make a baby"

Bottle Fairy OP ( Please Sensei San ) - Cute and adorable, not many like it out there

Lucky Star OP ( Motteke Sailor Fuku - Hirano Aya ) - Its funny just reading it but it all fits together perfectly, plus its catchy

Canvas 2 OP ( Plastic Smile - Honey Bee ) - Just awesomeness of J-Rock opening songs

As for Ending Themes...

Sumomomo Momomo ED #1 ( No Rock Life - Honey Bee ) - Just a kick ass song with awesome animation for J-rock

Canvas 2 ED ( NA NA IRO - Sweets Tankentai ) - Even more J-rock awesome than the Opening of this anime

Slayers NEXT ED ( Jamawanasenai - Megumi Hayashibara ) - Just classic old school ED that I happen to like

Hidamari Sketch ED ( Mebae Drive - Marble ) - Really good smooth paced lyrical song

Karin ED ( Mou Hitotsu no Birthday ) - Really good song about love and birthdays! Lol

Kanon ( 2006 ) ED ( Kaze no Tadori Tsuku Basho - Ayana ) I am a Kanon fanboy and this song is just really catchy and beautiful

Hell yeah! "Tank," by The Seatbelts. Cowboy Bebop is like the "roots" of my anime interest, so I gotta mention that one. I definitely agree that it just fit the show so well.

My "main" list, though, would probably be something along these lines:
"Life" - Yui (Bleach ED5)
"Sakura" - Nirgilis (Eureka SevenOP4)
"Living Inside The Shell" - Steve Conte feat. Shanti Snyder/Origa (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex ED2)
"Michiyuki" - Hikida Kaori (Loveless ED)

"Zetsubou Billy" - Maximum the Hormone (Death Note ED2)
"Lilium" - Kumiko Noma (Elfen Lied OP)
"Be Your Girl" - Chieko Kawabe (Elfen Lied ED)
"Days" - Flow (Eureka Seven OP1)
"Shounen Heart" - Home Made Kazoku (Eureka Seven OP2)

I was just recently watching a few animes i found one anime in particular with a good intro its driver's high by larc-en-ciel thats about all for now.

i recently watched Saiyuki and i really enjoyed the opening that one, same with Ruroni Kenshin and Last Exile ... oh and also Aquarian Age was pretty cool too..

just to name a few that i have seen recently that i enjoyed the opening and ending to

After i started watching eureka 7, I REALLY like the first ending.. im trying to download it.. but all the files i find "need more sources" rawr

Merging this list with the previous one... I have too many favorites. ^^;

OPENINGS
Ghost in the Shell SAC - Inner universe
Fullmetal Alchemist - "Melissa" by Porno Graffitti
Fullmetal Alchemist - "Ready Steady Go" by L'Arc~en~Ciel
Fullmetal Alchemist - "Rewrite" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Hellsing - "Logos Naki World" by Yasushi Ishii
Record of Lodoss War - "Adesso e Fortuna"
Naruto - Fighting Dreamers
Gundam SEED Destiny - Ignited
Gundam SEED Destiny - Vestige
Gundam SEED Destiny - Bokutachi no Yukue

ENDINGS:
Ghost in the Shell SAC - "Lithium Flower" (lyrics: Tim Jensen; music: Yoko Kanno; vocals: Scott Matthew).
Fullmetal Alchemist - "Tobira no Mukō e" by Yellow Generation
Shadow Skill - ''For my Pride'' by Spirit Level

The song's called "GO!!!," and is done by the band FLOW. (Just f.y.i. ^^; )
The same band does another opening for Naruto during the fillers, "Re:member."

Also, Scott Matthew, huh? Well, thanks. I didn't have that in the credits for my copy of the song, hah.
I personally prefer the 2nd Gig ending theme, "Living Inside The Shell." (Composition: Yoko Kanno, Lyrics: Shanti Snyder, Vocals: Steve Conte & Shanti Snyder)

all the openings and endings to KIBA were very well done, same i thought with Blood+ and Air Gear

I was too lazy too google some of the names, I just wrote those that I know the artist, others only name of the song. I heard some guys calling it ''Fighting Dreamers'' so I though it was called like that...

Music that have a touch of Yoko Kanno are mostly great too me, it's just I don't feel like searching to put them here. That intro to Vision of Escaflowne is an example that I just remembered.

Get Backers 2nd Opening
Sousei no Aquarion Opening 1
Black Cat Opening 1
Blood+ Opening 1,3, and 4.
Bleach Opening...All of them except 4.
Gundam Seed Opening 3 and 4.
Gundam Seed Destiny Opening All of them..
Full Metal Alchemist 1 and 4.

Not much for endings..
Death note ending 2.

There are only 2 cases where I actually enjoyed the opening or ending of anime, and only these two:
The second Eureka Seven Opening.
The second Death Note ending.

also I LOVE Eureka 7 - Himitsu Kichi
first ed

No idea where to put these, in comparison to my other favorites, but from the two recent series I picked up:

Amatsuki
OP: "Casting Dice" - Yuuki Kanno
ED: "Namae no Nai Michi" - Kaori Hikita

Mnemosyne
OP: "Alsatia" - Galneryus
ED: "Cause Disarray" - Galneryus
