favorite OP/ED

Snagged from yoshikochan, jen_kat, and ycysusan.

What are you favorite OP and Eds? and why?
Don't go past top 5, and say a few words why? (lol, I saw "10" on ycysusan's post.) Um, I will go somewhere in between.

Bokurano OP - Uninstall

I heard this song at AX when Ishikawa Chiaki sang it at her concert (where she joked that the chorus of "Uninstall, uninstall" sounded like anisong, for anime song). It's a very haunting song and stuck in my mind for a very long time. When I finally got around to actually watching Bokurano, I loved the scenes of each of the kids. They're such poignant scenes. This show still makes me cry.

Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai OP

I've never finished watching this series, but I LOVED the opening. I love the tune of the song and how well the images fit the beat. The lyrics were very fitting too! Gotta love all the butterfly imagery to symbolize the beauty and ugly sides of life. I was ecstatic to find this song at karaoke.

Overdrive OP

I love the switching between the girl and guy singers. This song is so upbeat! The camera angle (lol, camera angle? Not too sure what else to call it) fits the way they're singing. When it's the girl singer, the scenes are calmer (blue skies, slow panning). When it's the rapper, the camera blurs in and out quickly. I love the zooming in on the road at the beginning and the rush of bikers at the end.

Hikaru no Go OP2 - I'll be the one

What I like about this opening is that it shows us everyday scenes (and they're beautifully animated). From Hikaru at the train station, to meeting Waya at the streets, to Ochi's car ride...it doesn't hurt that I love the song too! I also adore the first ending song (it's set as my alarm, so I hear it every morning, haha), but the video for that isn't all that exciting.

Prince of Tennis OP8 - Dream Believer

When this opening came out, I replayed it over and over and over again. My second favorite is Fly High (which I replayed a lot too) but this one tops them all! I loved how it follows Ryoma and shows us a little bit of all the other regulars as he passes by. The panning at the "Wake up, stand up" part is very cool~. And the ending where Ryoma saunters? Just perfect.

Tantei Gakuen Q OP1 - Mei Q! Meikyuu Make You

The beat and images fit so well in this one! It's very colorful too. I like how they flash each character in tune with the chorus. I also love the play on words for the song itself!

Busou Renkin OP

I liked this opening so much that I went on Nicodouga to look up parodies of it (and man, were there parodies!) I think I just love high tension songs like this. XD; I like how the kurogane is used to frame certain scenes, and how the scenes cut to the next in tune with the beat. This song lifts me up. ♥

I fail at my explanations. There are still plenty of others I enjoy, but I'll stop myself here. XD; These are the ones that I put on replay a lot. ♥

Oh, Uninstall. XD I think I heard the Vocaloid version on the radio from WinAmp, so I went searching for it. So lovely. T-T

I do love Hikaru no Go's openings and endings (even though some of them are... "Eh?" XD)

Whoo Prince of Tennis. XD

And watching Tantei Gakuen Q (and its drama)~ I love mysteries. ^o^

The Vocaloid version must have sounded interesting

Oh man, this piano version makes me wish I could play the piano. I totally failed at it when I tried to learn. XDDD *has no rhythm at all*
