OPM has the best opening. Song is great, and the video is metal as fuck. POWEEEEEEEEEER IS THE POWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEER

Jojo Stardust Crusaders easily wins that award for me as well. The OP does a great job at foreshadowing the upcoming final showdown.
And the way it changes for the final two episodes are just spectacular.
Yep, End of the world was great.
I personally really liked Death Parades OP, just because of the stark contrast to the actual show, lol.
Kekkai Sensens OP was also pretty great.
And OPM of course.
Perfect Insider, too.
And I think I'm forgetting some.
Make it like Mean Girls where they're all trying to backstab each other and I'm down.

Jiriki Hongan Revolution (Karma-kun, Maehara, Isogai, Nagisa, and Kayano- Assassination Classroom
"X.U." by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Gemie - Seraph of the End
are my two favorite OPs for both animation and song. Mr Teacher dance is too addicting, and X.U. is so memorable ( I Dont want nobody to get killed and the action scenes, nice)
Feed A - OLDCODEX from God Eater, so epic and pumps me up, that Utsugi Lenka.
I can't decide, there were so many good ones! D:
Starting with the winter 14/15 season, the following ones I would consider my favorites of this year:
- Death Parade (Song and Visuals)
- Parasyte (mainly because of the song)
- Gangsta (Song and Visuals)
- Overlord (mainly because of the song; it also gives me my RPG fix)
- Soma OP 2 (Yeah, "cooking" show... I was just flashed when I saw it for the first time)
- Ninja Slayer (Mainly the song, but also somewhat the visuals)
- Subete F (Mainly the visuals, but the song is also great)
Well, shit. I really can't decide stuff like this.

I like the Ougi one better.
But the Owari OPs so far can't hold a candle to some of the other Monogatari OPs

Ushio and Tora's OP has one of my favorite synchronizations of music and visuals, when the spirit is revolving around the girl it does it so awesomely in sync with the music.

Only watch Part 2, the rest is filled with bad writing.
Well watch Part 3 cause Kakyoin is one of the greatest designs in the franchise especially whenever Jotaru is around.
It's sad knowing what you're missing. It's great knowing what lies ahead for you.

The only horrible person is that piece of shit Takumi. Nana and Hachi are certainly flawed people, but they're still characters that I find myself rooting for and hoping that they can get over their issues and find something resembling happiness.
Lupin, for sure.

Should specify I watched part 1 and 2. Part 3 with jotaru the dick son I started but gave up on. Maybe it gets better from what I hear
There is a reason why Nanami episodes are the best episodes of Utena.

Even Takumi isn't much of a villainous character but rather someone with misplaced values. He's a jerk and needs to better himself, no doubt, but his behavior doesn't feel purposely malicious.
Best OPs this year? My favorites are Death Parade, Gatchaman Crowds Insight, The Perfect Insider, and Yuri Kuma Arashi.
Honestly, part 3 has some high highs, but it's not even close to being as good as parts 1 and 2.
Wasn't a huge part 3 fan. I've heard part 4 is much better, at least.

Part 3 gets much better during the Egypt arc. The stand battles get much better and really begins the point in the series where it's not just a show of strength, but a show of wit between users. The first half did have some really good episodes such as Emeperor and the Hanged Man, Justice, The Lovers, and Death 13. The second half though had a ton of fun episodes that had some good comedy and toward the final fights become really exciting.
I've noticed a lot of people hate Jotaro, but that's what I like a lot about Part 3. Even if Jotaro isn't to your fancy, the supporting cast is all types of fun, Polnareff especially ended up becoming a fan favorite.
Edit: Also a lot of JoJo fans will argue that Part 3 is on the lower tier when it comes to JoJo parts. It's underSTANDable (sorry) because this part was Araki testing the waters for stands and it works well because from the second half of Part 3 on, JoJo is a lot of fun. Part 4 especially (anime will start airing in April) is just such a please tell experience.

I mean, that's true, but it doesn't change him being an asshole.
He isn't necessarily evil, but he's definitely a humongous jerk.
I'm guessing you mean this year. Song and animation combined: Osomatsu-san, Punchline, Prison School, Yurikuma, and One Punch Man were all some of the best of this year. Shimoneta, Ore Monogatari, and School Live as honorable mentions.
I did. Thanks for catching that!

Just what is it? A completed version of something the original author was partway through? Or based on much more of a skeleton or and outline or something?

So Nanami likes to surround herself with fuckbois and make them fight each other and also Kangaroos. I think the episodes of the show that aren't about THE ABSOLUTE DESTINY APOCALYPSE and that shit are actually more weird and ridiculous then the ones that are. It seems kind of like a fairy tale world where nothing makes sense and everybody kind of rolls with it and Yuri Kuma was kind of like that (an actual fairy tale was a huge plot point in that) so I'm gonna go with that
Should've been Miku and Riina smh

I prefer the first HQ song but Spyair always sounds exactly the same now. And their second song on cds is always better, too bad they seemed to not have done that with their newest one.

Clannad: After Story 16
So, coming back to this after finishing The Wire Season 4 (which, by the way, blows every other TV show I've seen out of the fucking water), the first half of this episode made me want to just turn the whole thing off and never come back. Tomoya's trepidation about everything to come is handled without any subtlety at all. Even the New Year's Party was the same kind of thing. Ew.
Luckily, I stuck around, and the second half of the episode is the strongest the show has ever been to this point, for a lot of reasons. It helps that the climax of the episode is about actual real people shit, focused primarily, for once, on the character we know the best and sympathize with the most. But the biggest thing setting this sequence apart is that it actually dares to go abstract and start breaking the clean aesthetic that has rigidly defined the entire visual tone of the show to this point. Everything teeters on the brink of absolute elation and absolute despair, both in Tomoya's cracking, weepy voice, in the washed-out bloom of the entire scene, and particularly in his face, drawn and exhausted, all scrunched up trying to smile through the tears. Even when it takes things over the top with flashbacks at the end, it still actually left me pretty choked up. There's a weird kind of beauty in it, and I love how it ends without leaving space for a clean conclusion to the scene. Amazing execution.
I was going to watch the next episode but then the sound in my computer died and killed my forward momentum. It's back now, somehow. Weird. Must be some kind of sign.

The momentum and abstractness of it reminded me, oddly enough, of the climactic scene where Kyon makes his decision at the end of Disappearance of Haruhi. Kind of a different tone here, though.
God if all that alternate robot world shit turns out to be an excuse for some bullshit Deus Ex Machina later I'm gonna find the nearest magazine rack and knock it over.
