two number eight a cruel angels thesis by Yoko takahashi neon genesis evangelion oh the 90s the super upbeat opening theme of this popular anime may not adequately prepare you for the onslaught of chaos and confusion that is Evangelion but maybe that's the best part about it being so unassuming the theme rolls along while we're given flashes of the main characters and some seemingly random images leaving it up to you to decipher them as you will number seven go by flow Naruto now my weather pun
ctuated with three exclamation marks we know this thing's on these business though Naruto Shippuden sign is also fantastic we've chosen go because of how seamlessly it blends with the openings action and light-hearted sequences which is exactly what Naruto is all about the pace of this flow track helps turn an entire generation of teens into fighting dreamers number six colors by flow code geass lelouch of the rebellion boo gee ma extremely colorful and even psychedelic it's not hard to fall und
er the spell of this series opening that you do daddy one of the main reasons we love it so much it's because we get to see Lelouch use his mind-control powers on us meanwhile clamps distinctive drawing style and colors addictive lyrics make this one of the most inviting themes on our list we just can't help wanting to watch more and more number five the world by nightmare Death Note metaphorical thought-provoking and amazingly epic are just some of the words we've used to describe the opening o
f Death Note with nightmares j-roc track of the world playing alongside godly depictions of the main characters this theme really forces itself into your cranium it also sets the mood for a morally gray anime series you number four Rock the dragon by Shuki Levy and Kusa Mahaney Dragon Ball Z the Funimation dub be honest did you just start singing this an opening featuring a song of few words but plenty of action there's no question that it's gonna go down when this comes up on your screen while
the original Japanese opening is pretty catchy too we prefer this one because it holds a special place in our heart and reminds us of a simpler time the lyrics to Dragon Ball Z's main title may be simple and repetitive but it does the job and it does it well number three again biue Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood you knew this one was coming the opening to this science fantasy adventure series brings you in slowly with you ease beautiful voice my gaudy cuneta play me - hey Tony - then it Rams a
car through your living room with its fast rapping and makes you smile with its beautifully composed chorus guy in back engine even though all of the fullmetal alchemist songs are memorable you just can't get enough of this one number two granule yumiya by linked horizon attack on Titan this is an opening that can crush Giants with its progressive metal style and dark themes this track makes you feel like a beast and unleashes the predator in you starting with characters leaping from building to

I’m Japanese I didn’t know Japanese anime is so well known overseas!!!!! I’m very happy because the old good works and masterpieces are included properly!!! I’m still studying English. Sorry if it’s strange

I was gonna say why isn’t Tokyo ghouls intro on here but then I realized this was made before Tokyo ghoul

@patrickgensch1695

Just happy to see full metal alchemist brotherhood on here and aot

@AndreeMon8

I can’t believe the Neon Genesis Evangelion is so down the list, it’s like the definition of epic intros along with the animations shown.

@heheboi7556

Cowboy Bebop’s is instantly iconic and in my opinion the only opening that PERFECTLY capture the TONE of what you’re about to witness.
