I do not know if it was an insert song, but the song was on the ED single: Sayonara Solitia

Speaking of Chrono Crusade, the Op is one of my favorites

Haibane Renmei Op; One of the best non vocal opening songs.

How can nobody have posted "Catch You, Catch Me" (CCS OP1)???
.

CCS Op1 is sung by Megumi hinata, under an alias though

Very good song though but i liked "platinum" better, so A

Spoiler:

CCS Op3

Koi Kaze Op: A very sweet song, but i didn't make me cry though so B+
Pretear Op: I can't stop listening it. But the second version was even better, mainly because it fits better with the animation, A+

Spoiler:

Gunslinger Girl Op: Never got my attention so B i guesse
Savage Genius rocks so all three songs gets an A.

With the other songs i am not familiar with so i can't rate them.

Rating an op or an ed has two essentials Background Track and Visuals presented . Thats used to entice an new veiwer into following that series . One Op which satisfies both these categories is Speed Grapher Op - Nymph of Gravure ( orgnl song Girls on Film by Duran Duran )

The track is from 80s and absolutely nothing to do with anime but the way director has iincoperated the track into op is a visual extravagnza . The Visuals in the op are suited to go with track . As the anime indirectly deals with a photographer Girls on Film makes sense , its very stylish and for a brieiif moment takes you to 80s with pop art feel

2nd Version

[Crystal_Method]

Speed Grapher Op - Nymph of Gravure - 10/10, that's a really good opening, very catchy.
Black Lagoon OP - another 10/10, such a cool opening, that's all I can say.


Fate/Stay Night 2nd OP:

Ah! My Goddess Sorezore no Tsubasa OP:

Basilisk OP:

D.Gray-Man OP:

[Aoie_Emesai]

I'll post some of my favorites again.

Sister Princess (TV) - "Love Destiny" by Yui Horie. Ahhh... Yui horie, i love her voice ^_^. The anime was absoutly boring, but the opening and ending sorta mad up for it.

Sister Princess (TV) - "Tsubasa" by Yui Horie. Another great song sang yours truly, Yui Horie. The ending animation is rather dull and boring, but the song is good though.

well.. thats all for now.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites.

Shounen Onmyouji OP

Tactics OP

Spoiler for Ouran OP and ED:

Ouran High School Host Club OP

Ouran High School Host Club ED

xxxHolic - I LOVE THIS SONG. *_* && The anime's awesome, too. 10/10.
Rozen Maiden Ouvetüre - Almost enka-like! I like it~ 8/10

[leofish]

Shounen Onmyouji = 7/10 definatly a well fitting 1st OP for the series, but pretty generic
Ouran OP / ED - 9/10, 8/10 I thought these fit the show perfectly, and the OP was definatly great, the animation sync'd with the music wonderfully too


by far, my all time #1 OP/ED is GITS: SAC 2ndGIG... Rise is just beyond words... and the visuals truely feel like an extension of the song. I swear on every ep I waited for the file to restart so I could watch the OP agian before closing MPC.. lol

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG OP : Rise - Origa

Spoiler:

[rooboy]

It's almost impossible to rate all the ones that have been out so far that I've liked.
xxxHOLiC OP - long overdue 10/10
GiTS: SAC 2nd GiG - 9/10
Ouran OP - 9/10 (this is actually my ringtone for when my wife calls)
Ouran ED - 8/10
Genshiken TV OP - 8/10
Also, major props to whoever posted Twin Spica's OP - one of my favorite OP's on one of my favorite shows.

I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen

Spoiler for Muteki Kanban Musume OP:

First time I saw the OP I thought, "Wow, what a serious show." Boy was I wrong.

and

Spoiler for Hataraki Man OP:

[chibi]

Pani Poni Dash OP1 "Yellow Vacation". SERIOUSLY addictive! Great guitar work in the long version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxJClYYw3Cg


Midori Days ED "Mou Sukoshi" Love the lights coming on in time to the music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rgJjmj2m6Y


Iketeru Futari OP "Fall in YOU" Singer reminds me of Pat Benatar, very strong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2stm9YUqpY

xxxHOLiC: Great! Thanks for turning me on to it!

[Sonhex]

Haibane Renmei is a 9/10 from me. It perfectly captures the mood of the show, with Ko Otani's excellent music.

Four of my all time favourites:

Spoiler for Nadia ~ Secret Of Blue Water:

Spoiler for Future Boy Conan:

Spoiler for Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind:

Spoiler for Laputa ~ Castle In The Sky :

[Crystal_Method]

I liked the Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind, I don't know why. It kinda reminds me of the wall seeing those giant things walking in a line. 8/10
Here 2 other good ops:

Last Exile:

Air Gear:

[rooboy]

Last Exile 9/10 (I didn't get a chance to rate this one when it was posted a couple of pages back - whatever else GONZO may screw up, they have some of the better OP's. Last Exile, Gankutsuou, Speed Grapher, and NHK ni Youkoso among others have really stylish OP and/or ED)
Air Gear 7/10

Spoiler for Speaking of Gankutsuou:

OP

ED

Spoiler for Hellsing OP:

Y'know, another one I'm really surprised hasn't been posted is this one.

Spoiler for Tank!:

EDIT: And I should probably include two others of my favorites that haven't been posted

Spoiler for R.O.D. the TV:

Spoiler for Noir:

EDIT 2: Last one for tonight, promise.

Spoiler for Witch Hunter Robin:

[DarkBlaze13]

Haha...I love this thread, it's helped me find some awesome animes with all these awesome Op/Ed around XD

Here's a link to a recent favorite of mine...


Yume Tsukai Opening, Yume Meikyuu ~Hikari to Yume no Dance~ by YoKo
I really like the song for some reason...

Yume Tsukai OP

[Kaijin]

Here is a brand new OP that first aired last week.
New show Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou

and the ED

[Aoie_Emesai]

I'm gonna collect all of the OP/ED we're collected so far and ask Wavie to post them up on the first the OP post so ya can at least know what have been posted and what haven't. Cause I don't even know what have been and what haven't.

ps: At page 3(beginning). Seen lots of repeats.

[Zu Ra]

Both the openings of GTO anime are masterpeices I loved the final ed in ep 43 I cant find the vid anywhere . I nominate that as the best op/ed of entire GTO Seires ( starts at around 21.42 )

[xxanimefan4_ever]

Sailor Mooon Classic Opening
I hate the american dub version with that weird stars wars in the beginning and the horrible chanting and some crappy lyrics they made up since they didn't bother translating any of it.

Spoiler:

koreasn version which I like too...

[Kaijin]

Here's the 2nd OP for Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Song: Slow
Artist: Kiyoharu

[Skyfall]

Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou - 8/10 not bad, and the song is pretty catchy >.<
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge - 4/10 not my thing, barely sat trough it ^__^

Karin OP
The OP is much more ecchier than the series, which barely has any

Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora OP

Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora ED

[CrowKenobi]

This is not a bad thread! (too bad a lot of the links are gone)

From what I've seen:
Karin OP = 9/10
Last Exile OP = 9/10

anyway, one thought I had while reading this thread (and not seeing it) is the OP to Burst Angel

and just for fun:

Pretty Cure OP
Yes! Pretty Cure 5 OP


Old School, baby!

Starblazers OP 1--Quest for Iscandar
Starblazers OP 2--Comet Empire & series Ending
(turns out the end is actually the english version of the original Spacecruiser Yamato opening)
Here's the real END (poor quality, taped off of tv!)
