Ok, so i want to get your opinion on some of the best anime theme songs.

Lets EXCLUDE death note, neon gen, ghost in the shell and bleach.

Discuss

[Julian]

I bet there will be some votes for Hare Hare Yukai, but my vote is for The Vision of Escaflowne's opening theme, Yakusoku wa Iranai (?). I love it!

[Kasin]

YYH opening theme! i got the remix!

[EzERawk]

Lain's opening theme, FLCL closer, both of Ouran's, Gurren Lagaan, GITS, etc, etc. Most opening and ending themes are usually pretty good, and if one sucks the others usually half way decent.

My favorites are the ones with random English. I love the X/1999 TV opening theme for the English. Makes me laugh every time.

[McWeen]

Lain, Witch Hunter Robin and Sailor Moon.

[FlyingElf]

Boa - Duvet opening to Lain = ultimate win

[LittleJezzie]

Thanks, people. Now I can't stop singing the Lain song. lol

I really like the opening for Kino no Tabi. (and the series rocks my world, too..hehe)

[kyomagi]

here's my list:

Rise, ghost in the shell
FLCL Opening
My-Pace Daiou, Genshiken
Scarlet, Karin
Kuusou Rumba, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubô Sensei
Paranoia Agent Opening

[jsieczkar]

My 1-5 list of OP
#5 Kiri - Monorail - Ergo Proxy
#4 Voices - Arai Akino - Macross Plus
#3 Allegro Cantabile - SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH - Nodame Cantabile
#2 World Without Logos - Raid - Hellsing
#1 Wish - OLIVIA - Nana

Song + Animation: Dramatic - YUKI - Honey and Clover

[Julian]

Kiri from Ergo Proxy and Duvet from Lain are definitely made of win.

[LADY SAKURA]

Cry No More is done by Mika Nakashima, whom also plays Nana in the Nana live action movies.

[Smilingbomb]

Both of the Gatekeeper 21's openings kind of win my heart over leik whoa.

I'm partial to Konna ni Chikaku de... the first ending. The opening sounds like the guy is singing into a kazoo... But I still like it.
