I have enjoyed a lot of opening and ending songs, but a few faves would have to include:
Rozen Maiden / RM Traumend = Ali Project Cowboy Bebop & Escaflowne = Yoko Kanno Excel Saga (I don't know who did these but both the OP and ED were awesome)  Witch Hunter Robin (= Taku Iwasaki, I think. I know he did most of the BGM) Welcome to NHK OP & Aria ED = Round table feat. Nino

My best two OP/ED songs would have to come from KOTOKO. I am a fan of hers, but it's really a coincidence I treasure two of her songs as "the best" OP and ED, because I'm a fan of many songs. I'm one of those people who believes the OP/ED sequences are integral parts of any anime TV series, so I always watch them. Anyway, the songs are KOTOKO's...
OP: Second Flight from Onegai! Twins ED: agony from Kannazuki no Miko |
