totally meant to respond to this a couple months ago (sorry!)

Thanks for sharing the 'eden of the east' opening! its super striking, i dont think ive ever seen something like it quite before. but the image of pencil-missiles was way too distracting when i was supposed to be paying attention in classes >:(

My favorite intro is Made in Abyss Season 1. It's so beautifully animated, colorful, and epic. It really excites you on this adventure. I also love the music, it's awesome! The voice actresses themselves are singing as the characters! How cool is that?

My favorite outro is Little Witch Academia Season 1 (technically it's the same season in Japan but still). It's beautiful as well, and the little animation transition thingy is so fluid and nice to look. I love the little drawings showing the characters going on little adventures we never got to see in the show proper. My favorite is the one with Akko, Lotte and Sucy on the roof having a picnic, it's very charming. The music is pretty neat as well. Honestly I'm a little disappointed by Season 2's outro in comparison. It's way more minimalist and while the animation is fluid, it doesn't really stick in your mind as the first one. Also I find the music to be more generic idk.

Rakka

Visually stunning and unique with great high tempo music to match.

Intense and dreamy with stellar y2k visuals.

This one should be no big surprise, it's simple, low budget, and I love it regardless. The simplicity matches the energy of the show very well, it doesn't need a special track composed by some popular band, some calming instrumentals are fine enough.

The OG gundam has the catchiest intro ever. I never skipped it. I love how 079 gundam's soundtrack is filled with these cool disco influences.

Sea of stars from LOGH is another favorite for me. Sure season three is where the show crashes into a mountain but the intro is just so good.

Rakka
I always preferred the ED(blue flow) for Haibane Renmei.
Not only is the song lovely(I listened to it constantly after finishing the show) but the visual of rakka spinning with the cgi water in the background has always stuck with me.

favorite OP has to be from Aoi Hana. i love the dreamy and sort of melancholic feel of the song. it pairs well with the minimalism in the animation. it doesn't do too much and it doesn't really have to.

There is only one. It is the epitome of all anime:

Luv my gambling anime OPs

Yachiyo a cute, a CUTE!

It's even better when you hear it during the anime. One of the characters sings the song during one of the episodes and I mega soyfaced

It pisses me off thinking about how they killed Yang. The writers should've been arrested for the Tera cult stuff.

janny note: added the spoiler, yes i know its old lol

T0RIN It pisses me off thinking about how they killed Yang.

It think it was brilliant writing actually, it showed that even great leaders you think are untouchable can die suddenly and in cruel ways, too many shows have main characters with stupid plot armour that live on to see their work flourish but thats unrealistic and not everyone gets that pleasure, even great men can suddenly croak like Napoleon dying from a illness on an island in prison and I think thats what the show tries to portray, and honestly they do it well. The only issue I have with LOTG death's is they are spread out so awkwardly, only a few extremely major characters die around the beginning and some more in the middle then like ten are clumped in within the last episode, should've been more spread out to have more of an impact.

when they did that i was so shocked that i could not continue the show for like month lol i was like "there still 40 eps left! how are they gonna continue the series now?"

Pedestrian I've always really liked this OP and it got me to watch the show (Which I actually found quite boring and dropped it about halfway through) This doesn't mean I don't appreciate KIIIING KIIIIING KIIIINGU GAINAAAAAAA and the monkey dance.

Pedestrian

DrakefangTalisman really? what a shame did you get to the psyop episode? I really liked the show with its yakut styled mecha and really energetic tone. But i do understand you, tomino shows really get boring sometimes.
Heres another example of an OP that got me into watching the associated show

It pmuch tells you the whole gist of the show. Its quite good 2nd season sucks though.

Recently rewatching Darling in the FRANXX. It shocks me to think that it's almost been a decade since its release, and honestly the opening sequence still amazes me and catches my attention.
The first opening really shows some cool visuals.

The second opening really mesmerize me.

I still haven't finished rewatching the anime, but I'm looking forward to finish it soon, because I have forgotten most of the plot, which makes it kind of a blessing, because I would kind of relive the excitement and experience I had when I first watched it back when I was probably 13 or 14,. Man time really flies by, it felt like it wasn't too long ago since I watched Darling in the FRANXX for the first time. I'm getting too old for my own liking... Turning 18 really horrified me two years ago, and now that I recently turned 20 this year, it kinda felt melancholic.

Probably my favorite anime opening is Eien to Iu Basho, from Corrector Yui.

I actually have no particular interest in this anime, it looks like any saturday morning magical girl anime, nothing special to note... But that opening is just so unique, it almost feels like a Beatles track, and the voice is gorgeous.

As for my favorite ending, I'll match the opening with a similar title: Kamisama to Iutoori from Tatami Galaxy.

Contrary to the previous track, Tatami Galaxy actually is among my favorite anime of all time. So much creativity in just 10 episodes, and the ending gives a striking feeling of mystery compared to the fast-paced and comical nature of the episodes.

Well, there are hundreds of other openings and endings I love. I have been in a karaoke community for a long while so I have had the time to explore my likes and dislikes... The last couple of years I was working on other projects and hobbies, and I was watching a lot less anime, but this topic sent me back in time. Maybe there are good new anime that I haven't heard of in the last few years?
