Top 25 Anime Openings: #5-1

Welcome to Part 3 of my Top 25 Anime Openings! The same rules apply, so let's get started.

5. Steins;Gate Opening: Hacking The Gate

Is anyone surprised that this opening is near the top of this list? No, didn't think so. I don't know what I can say about this opening that hasn't been said already, and I'm pretty sure you all know this opening's impact on the show itself (it's almost as famous as the show, which is saying something). Well, it's powerful, it's epic, it's over-the-top, it's animated beautifully, and it's awesome; just like the show itself. 

2. Durarara!! Opening 1

DATABASE DATABASE I'M SINGING IN THE DATABASE WHOA-WHOA! Normally I don't like openings that include some sort of rap, but this opening is the exception. It's catchy, fast-paced, exciting, and has an attitude. I couldn't get this opening out of my head if I tried.

11. Ergo Proxy Opening: Kiri

I absolutely adore this opening's song. It's catchy and gets me pumped for whatever I'm about to do, and the visual style is really unique. It's basically everything that makes a phenomenal opening in my eyes, and will remain on my favorites list for quite some time.

9. Gurren Lagann Opening 

Since I haven't seen TTGL yet, I just decided to include all versions of this opening as they all contain the same song. Anyway, this opening is the definition of exciting and fun, which is a lot like the show from what I've heard. The opening also seems hopeful and motivational, as if to raise your hopes up from the ground and say, "Hey, don't be afraid, you can do this!" which is something I haven't really seen in another song. I really like this opening, and can't wait to see the show so I can hear the song in context.

8. Sword Art Online 2 Opening 1: Ignite

I think that we all know my thoughts on the original F/SN, which is...that it's pretty bad. However, one of its redeeming factors was its soundtrack, and especially this opening. While I didn't really like it at first, it grew on me, as it was easy to sing along to and got stuck in my head very easily. I love its quaint yet mystical atmosphere, giving a sort of calming feeling before the storm, and accompanied by some pretty good animation. So, while I'd suggest waiting for the F/SN 2014 anime, give this opening a shot.
