There’s no way I can pick just one.
Tank 👌
Stein’s Gate’s OP with the song Hacking to the Gate is probably my favorite overall including both visuals and the song itself.
Prior to watching Stein’s Gate my favorite was Shakugan no Shana’s first OP with the song Scarlet Color Sky.
I also really liked the OP for Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto (Someday’s Dreamer) with the song Kaze no Hana which was my favorite OP before that.
Honorable mention to Honey and Clover for having the most WTF OP out of all the anime I have ever seen.
If you’re looking for something else to listen to, basically any OP by Yoko Kanno or performed by Kalafina is good. e.g.:
- Hikari no Senritsu from Sora no Woto
- Tank! from Cowboy Bebob
- to the beginning from Fate/Zero (EDIT: I originally said “both OPs” but I got mixed up with one of the EDs – the other OP is oath sign performed by LiSA)
- the Ghost in the Shell SAC OPs – particularly Rise fron 2nd Gig
A few others that I enjoyed are:
- Asterisk – Bleach’s first OP
- Only My Railgun – A Certain Scientific Railgun
- Choir Jail – Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
but there are way too many to list, so I’m going to stop there before I write a novel.
Edit: Added links. Thanks @Davel23 – I’ve been trying to stay off of YouTube lately and didn’t know about that site until you posted your comment!
Evangelion - The Cruel Angel’s Thesis
Posts question to op as op and doesnt answer. Leaves
That would be “What’s your favorite anime, OP?”
But I guess I have to edit the title anyway lol
Op 2 kicks ass as well
The EDs are also absolute works of art. And that ultra-long pan of the town is a joy to watch.
Probably Serial Experiments Lain. Duvet by Boa.
I usually watch an OP once for a show and then skip it each time afterwards. That being said, there are a handful that I remember making the choice to always watch each episode. In no particular order:
- (NSFW) B Chiku Sentai SOX - “SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist” - I always laughed at the visuals of this more than anything. This show was wild.
- Onegai Muscle - “How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift?”
- Idol - “Oshi no Ko”
- Zeitaku na Saji - “Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill”
- GO!!! - “Naruto”
I will never skip the opening (song: Tombi) of Trigun Stampede. It made me a fan of Kvi Baba, who I’d never discovered before.
The tone and lyrics make it the perfect Vash theme song.
Pani Poni Dash! - Kiiroi Bakansu
Honorable mention - Galaxy Angel - Bang! Bang!
Hero’s Come Back from Naruto Shippuden
Honorable mentions:
- SAO Crossing Fields
- Cowboy Bebop Tank
- Gurren Lagann Sorairo Days

God yes. Both the original and the special version sung by the crew.
yeah, with this one also https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pbJ6kEORvwM they are my preferred ones. I don’t know animes at all but they simply seem perfect to me :)
I thought my answer would be Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, because the theme song is so good. However I just rewatched it, and it’s full-on early 2000’s bad 3DCG.
My actual favorite overall has to be One Punch Man then.
