Memorable openings and endings
Topic Started: Sep 15 2007, 11:21 PM (93 Views)

Most openings and endings are pretty much standard, and you either skip them, use the time to go fetch a drink and a snack, or you stay put and listen to good music/watch pretty pictures. But every once in a while there are some intros and endings that just makes you go ":blink:" for one or another reason.

I'm sure there are many, considering the amounts of anime that has been made. But atm I just have two videos running in my head....on repeat... repeat.. repeat.. You get my drift :P Which is pretty much the reason behind this topic; I need to get them out! XD

The first one is
The Second Death Note opening. The first time I saw it.. well, it took me by surprise. I did not expect an opening like this! XD

The second one is the one that first inspired me to make this topic.
the opening of Paranoia Agent Freakyyyyyyy! The song is great, i love it! Which is good, 'cause it always ends up stuck in my head XD But the first time I saw it, I didn't pay attention to the subtitles. And it just seemed really sick. All those people, with that freakish laugh, standing there in more or less horrible situations... with that laugh... Scary..! :ph43r: Did I mention they're laughing? :P
It made much more sense after reading the lyrics XD Yay! Be positivite! XD

Lyrics, in english:

Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
Marvelous mushroom shaped cloud in the sky
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The afternoon of the birds feeding in an ally

I shall talk to you with my hand on the grass in the sunbeams
See, our dream is blossoming on the lunch bench

Keep the sound of waves in your heart
Keep the melancholy on the bottem
Extend the bridge to tomorrow
Without worrying about a tidal wave

Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
Such a marvelous vapor trail
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The afternoon of the people passing on the popular street

I shall walk with you, holding your hand with a smile
See, the voice of "it's all over"is drowned out by the wind

Without worrying about tomorrow
let your destination slide
Lock up your heart
Without believing in an avalanche

Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
Flaming rain that I used to see in my dreams
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The afternoon that I woke up by the office window

I shall go out with you since I was invited by the sunbeams
See, our dream is blossoming on the lunch bench

Listen to the wind blowing against the grass
Throw away melancholy
Believe that tomorrow will be fine
Without worrying about the meaning of the dream

Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
Marvelous mushroom shaped cloud in the sky
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The afternoon of the birds feeding in an ally
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The dream that we raised on the lunch bench
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-Ra-ee-yo-ra
The afternoon that was born in the sunbeams

Every time I watch D. Grey man the song gets stuck in my head for hours.

RXJ also has been stuck in my head for weeks but that is just cuz I am still waiting for a subbed version of Epi 19.

Oh man, Innocent Sorrow (D.gray-man OP) is so up there, I love that opening, I also still remember Cloud Age Symphony (Last Exile OP) and the Haiban-Renmei songs were nice and absolutely one of my all time favourites is Yakusoku wa Iranai (Promises not needed) the Escaflowne OP ^^ There are more, just need to think of them ^^

I love the first opening for D Gray man but the second one really rocks. It starts on Epi 26 I think. It is sooooo catchy. It is by Nami Tamaki, it is called Brightdown.

2nd Opening for D. Gray Man
