Favourite Anime Intro

[Mjolnir36]

Spoiler: Elfen lied stands out, though I'm sure there are more (some nudity)

Got ninja'd on that one.

Yeah, Elfen Lied's my favorite anime intro. The song is so sad and beautiful and I really, really like it.

The name of the song is called "Lilium"

[PureChaos]

this has been done SO many times and my answer is still the same:

 

[Au Naturel.]

The wierdest most out there anime I've seen. It's also one of the funniest, haha. I have only seen the first four episodes. I'll buy it when they re-release the box set.

Spoiler: Pani Poni Dash! 2nd Opening

I'm buying this anime tonight. I usually watch the openings before the anime. I was wowed by this one.

Spoiler: Rozen Maiden Traumend Opening

I also really like Welcome to the NHK's opening. But that has already been said.

 

[Jawsomeness]

Asterix.
Bleach's first intro was the thing that turned me into a anime geek, so it has a special place in my heart

[Lucifron]

Mine is probably that or the opening to Evangelion:

Spoiler

Bait and switch much?

This and a thousand times this. That is the best intro to any show, ever.

 

[Jawsomeness]

Althought it anoying, I gotta admit Sakura Kiss is Catchy as hell!
Girlfriend made me watch OHHC and for the entire week it was stuck in my head afterwards! X0

 

[Ganthrinor]

Couldn't find the actual opening video with a decent sound quality, so here's just the song.


"Inner Dream" by Yoko Kanno used as the open theme for "Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex". The tune is poetic and haunting, the actual opening is the same. The opening animation and song stops at about 1:58 into the song in the anime. The vocals are sung in Latin, Russian and English throughout the song.

Spoiler: Actual opening w/ song in shitty recording mode

 

[seditary]

Simple, beautiful, delicious.

 

[tmo99]

Spoiler: Naruto Shippuden Opening 3: Blue Bird. Mainly because of the song.

Spoiler: Samurais Champloo, simply because it was an awesome anime!

Loved that shippuden opening but HATED that filler

Also your last link seems to be broken mate

 

[Scde2]

This may be my fave intro.

Spoiler: The third opening for Code Geass

I also really like the other Code Geass openers, along with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and .hack//sign, but those have been posted already.
