Top 100 Anime OP’s, ED’s, and Insert Songs, A pointless project

Top 100 Anime OP’s, ED’s, and Insert Songs, A pointless project

Custom Made Girls..

I thought we could try something new, so if this idea doesn’t seem like a hit, don’t kill me, I was just trying.

I have seen quite a few lists on the internet, most notably 2chan’s list of 100 greatest anime openings and endings, but it includes quite a few old school hits which I’m completely unfamiliar with. So being the pretentious snob I am, I decided to compile a list of my own OP’s, ED’s, and insert songs that are composed of more recent anime.

I’m making this thread to ask the good members of the SOS Brigade, to help aide me in creating a list that reflects the opinions of the people of this forum. I have a few songs already added to the list, but feel free to argue the order, or even the placement of the song itself. Add songs, delete songs, move songs, feel free until we all come to a decision. You will see this list is heavily biased, and extremely poorly made, so feel free to manipulate it until we have come to a consensus. I take into consideration both animation, as well as music, and overall production quality. Take note the lack of Gundam, and/or other various mecha anime. Since the mecha genre is not my forte, I’ve decided not to include it for fear of being completely disparaged. The three lists only have one OP, from the anime, meaning there won’t be two openings from the same show in one list. So I’m not sure if this thread will go anywhere, but it’s worth a try.I noticed that there is a thread already dedicated to the discussion of OP’s and ED’s, but I think this project warrants it’s own thread.

So allow me to put on the table some guidelines since I neglected to earlier.
-Provide a list of OP’s, ED’s and insert songs that you believe deserves placement on the list, and also provide a number corresponding to each of them. We will then discuss placement, and heavily discuss which songs deserve to be on the list, where, and why.
- There can only be one OP, ED, or insert song per anime. Meaning the final lists can not contain two different Bleach OP’s, just one of them, this will limit needless duplicates, and add more variety to the list. So remember to choose the BEST OP from each respective show.
-The Anime must have its original run spanning from 1990 to currently airing shows, and perhaps future shows as well.
-Try to explain why you believe a certain OP, ED, or insert songs deserves placement, it’ll save a lot of time later, when we have to discuss the final list.
-For now, animated movies won’t be included on the list, unless popular demand asks for it. Meaning no Totoro for those who were going to recommend that.
-A few factors to keep in mind. The Music obviously, the animation, the direction, the overall production quality, and anything else you want to take into consideration, just be sure to back it.
