Anime is only as good as it's opening song.

Some OP I like that I can think of, for better or worse. Been a while since I watched many of them though, so its hard to say if they ( the anime itself ) were really that good, but oh well.

Never seen this anime. That's a pretty damn good song though.

Good anime with good openings:

Rahxephon

Ghost in The Shell: SAC and 2nd GIG

Good anime with a not-so-good opening:

Now and Then, Here and There

The show is really worth watching, and actually has some excellent tracks in it, like this one. Would be a damn shame if someone decided to ignore it based on the opening.

Now and Then is amazing. I second everyone should watch this.
 
original fma had some crazy good opening songs, all 4 are great.

While I think Gundam SEED wasn't very good, it did have some good music. The opening (IIRC we only got the first opening for the dub broadcast on YTV, and it wasn't the full one; it was a cut 15 or 30 second version of it) and the first two endings are great. Especially love the endings. So good.

Go watch bokurano next time you find yourself saying, "All this happiness is getting tiresome. I could use some depression and sorrow."

It is a good show. I am not saying it will make you sad with badness. I mean it will suck the light from your soul.

Slayers had openings that were disproportionately good compared to the overall quality of the show.

Loved the series' but man, were those Openings gdlk. Megumi <3

Also, hell yeah to GTO. I got to see L'arc en Ciel perform Driver's High live. Was surreal. That opening, and even it's second were amazing.
 
Some of my favorite animes have some pretty baller openings: Bebop, Monster, Black Lagoon, Stand Alone Complex.

Mushishi has a pretty shitty opening, but its probably the best anime of all time, so I guess it isn't always true.

For me, the best anime opening goes to Kuragehime (Princess Jellyfish). It has a nice song, sets up the characters, and its filled with references that I both recognize and admire. Simply perfect. Eff off if you don't like it.

I would link it but I'm lazy right now. I hope someone else feels the same way and links it.

There you go.

There are a lot of random references thrown in the OP.
