A brief recommendation of anime openings
The opening and closing theme songs play such an important role as they identify the hallmark of an anime and also move many anime watchers.
I’ll present ten openings that I consider valuable in my memory (not ranked in order of enjoyment)
10. Again - Yui
OP 1 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
I started watching FMAB thanks to my brother who listened to ‘Again’ every day for months. The music and the lyrics make you feel perfectly the ambitions and goals of the brothers Edward and Alphonse.
9. Crossing Field - LiSA
OP 1 Sword Art Online
To be fair, I didn’t finish watching SAO, but if I managed to see some of its episodes it was for the mere fact that Crossing Field was the opening. It's the kind of song that makes you feel like you're the protagonist.
8. Blue Bird - Ikimonogakari
OP 3 Naruto Shippuden
I haven't been able to finish Naruto yet. Still, the reason I started watching it was Blue Bird. This theme song is a perfect balance between the story and the feeling they seek to convey to the viewer.
7. SHIVER - the GazettE
OP1 S2 Kuroshitsuji
It’s the setting of the anime itself that makes everything so attractive, but the openings play an important role in each season as well, since they play harmonically with the gothic elements so typical of this series.
6. Bye Bye Yesterday - 3 Nen E Gumi Uta Tan
OP2 S2 Assassination Classroom
After accompanying class 3-E for two seasons, it's time to say goodbye. I don't think there’s an opening that manages to encompass everything lived by the characters in such a nostalgic but entertaining way as in this case. Even on my own graduation day I couldn't help but remember it, it's quite memorable.
5. COLORS - FLOW
OP1 Code Geass
COLORS as the opening theme for an anime with such dramatic themes could’ve been a success because it totally misleads the viewer about the tragedies that will occur later in the plot. This song is remembered for the nostalgia that takes us back to the first episodes of Lelouch’s story.
4. PAPERMOON - Tommy heavenly6
OP2 Soul Eater
My favorite Soul Eater opening that also defines one of my favorite arcs. This arc introduces Chrona and covers her growing bond with Maka. The strengthening of the bond of the iconic duos that are presented from the beginning is related to the feeling of fidelity that the song shows in its lyrics.
3. Hyadain no Kakakata Kataomoi-C - Hyadain
OP1 Nichijou
Every time I need a burst of energy and good vibes I watch Nichijou.This specific song really characterizes the mix of nonsense and jokes meticulously embedded in the anime, as well as being a very catchy song.
2. Kamisama Hajimemashita - Hanae
OP1 Kamisama Hajimemashita
If I ever have kids I'll be the kind of mom who gets excited when she hears the Candy Candy opening theme, but with Kamisama Hajimemashita. For some reason this song has helped me find a path to femininity. It's refreshing and tender, it gives me good memories of when I was little.
1. HighSchool - in NO hurry to shout
OP1 Fukumenkei Noise
Fukumenkei Noise is a music anime and its opening consists of one of the main songs of the series. When the band in which the plot revolves changes its vocalist, the person who sings the opening changes to Nino, the protagonist of the story. It’s a detail that makes a big difference for the understanding of the plot that I personally like a lot.
