I actually hated the Love Hina opening, and really didn't like the show either. For some reason tho, I loved the manga, even though it was basically the same story - I guess it's cause it was one of those rare cases where I read the manga first, so when I went and watched the show I was just bored and every character annoyed me.
Oh yeah, and this theme:
I'd watch an episode of FB and have this in my head all day.

OH GOD
I just remember that song so fucking well, mainly because of the ridiculous way they nearly directly translated the OP, but it fit just as well as the original, and my mind was blown when the group releasing switched up the OPs and I didn't even notice until somebody pointed it out.
Mind=Blown every time
Also, I can't for the life of me remember how that show ended, even though I've seen it a couple times. I'm guessing it was too ambiguous for any sort of real closure.

Yeah, the anime was great but the ending was really bad. It's 'cause the manga wasn't even close to done yet, but they realized the show wasn't going to have another season, so Tohru is basically like "you should all be nice to each other!" and they're like "k". It probably would've been better if they just ended it an episode earlier, at the part where Tohru sees what Kyo's really like and even though she's scared out of her mind she still hugs him. That was an insane episode. Did they really change the OP half-way through? Insane, man, I didn't notice either. |

no no no, I didn't mean that, I just mean that the sub group I ended up dling from switched up the auto-jap or eng OP halfway through the batch to troll people, but almost nobody noticed. this was way after it got dubbed and shit.

(wasn't this thread supposed to be about catchy anime OPs, not just every OP to every show you liked) *wags finger* But all my favorite anime OPs ARE catchy. XD |

XD (^_^)_'o Don't worry, I completely agree (I agree with every post I've made so far concerning OPs). It's all a matter of opinion, I just didn't want the thread to derail into OP spam, which is fine, but wasn't the point of the thread. :3 |

Ooooooh I see. I'd heard of some subbers that troll by posting up "Naruto Shippuden Movie" but then it's really 5 cm, so 12 year olds watch it and are like WHY AM I SO SAD?!?!?!?!? |

that was Dattebayo back in the day. I heard some of the folks at DB actually have good taste, and picked up bleach and naruto mainly because early bleach and naruto were pretty good, and got stuck becoming the worldwide #1 source for shounen subs. They released an early ep once and it was the first or second part of 5 cm, they regularly troll but I haven't watched bleach or naruto in years, so I couldn't tell you if they still did that shit.
But yeah, the 16 year olds who cosplay as shitsugaya probably saw 5 cm and were like "hm, what a different episode".

Hahaha, that's pretty interesting actually. I guess it makes sense - when an anime starts to come apart at the seams and everyone's already in the habit of going to you for the subs, you can't just be like "yeah, this shit sux now, go somewhere else homebres". Or you could, but it'd be kinda mean, and we all know being mean just isn't okay!
But I guess it's kinda unfair for me to pan naruto shitpuddin, I never even saw it or the filler hell of naruto land. I stopped right after the chasing sausekay arc and in my mind that's when naruto ended (although I'll probably watch shippuden when the story's over, just to see what happened).
Gonna do the same thing with bleach, one day. Right now I'm watching haruhi/azumanga/TTGL with my bro. It's weird watching them for the second time when it's his first time, cause we just watched haruhi episode 6 which was nuts and he was like "OH MAN!!!!" but I'm just like "yeah wasn't that cool?" I have to think back to how I felt when I first watched it to get into it with him, haha.

Other than the 12 year old part, that would be me. It was released when Naruto Shippuden 5 didn't air, labeled as Naruto Shippuden 5CM. I saw it and qq'd. |

It's all a matter of opinion, I just didn't want the thread to derail into OP spam, which is fine, but wasn't the point of the thread. :3 ;3; Sorry about that guys, buuut I'm with Rachel on that. Considering the anime that I like/hold a special place in my heart [IE. the old Toonami line up], they've always had a catchy opening. xU Other than the multiple hundred or so Bleach/Naruto openings, I haven't met an anime theme song *I didn't really like. And yeah, Sara, that goes for DRRR's second opening theme - I think it's just as good as the first*Although I do suspect that this also has to do with whether I liked the anime itself or not. |

Imo that's what trolling is all about - these days you see people flooding message boards with "XD SO RANDUM" and "Why do they call it a 360?", but those things are just mildly annoying. Causing a ton of people to break down and cry when all they wanted to do was watch Naruto punch someone in the face, though, is really devious. Hmm, now I'm wondering - are there any anime's I like where I don't like the theme? ...I've been sitting here for a good two minutes and I can't think of omgbaka to test, that one's god awful (even though it's supposed to be, it still makes me cringe). I can't find it on youtube to post it, I guess they've been deleting them. Also, Death Note's second opening, what the fuck? I swear it's like the dudes who made this opening never even watched the show. They were just like "it's called DEATH note, so let's get some hardcore death metal and just be like RAAAAR!!!" There's only one good part of the song, the "hey hey, all you people" part, but that doesn't excuse the rest of the ear-rape, and the actual opening itself is just stupid. Why is L doing karate? Why are bullets flying everywhere? This isn't a shounen anime and it never tried to be, yet the opening is basically like "yeah fuck all that '5-steps-ahead-of-you' logical battle stuff, KARATE AND GUNS ARE SWEET YO." But the most inexcusable thing is that this opening makes Near look like God. He stares at Light once and then Light has massive brain trauma or something. WTF happened to L? Christ. So yeah, I found a few that I didn't like. Now it's your turn!!!! |

Nearly every Naruto OP/ED durring the filler arc was pretty bad.
But speaking of catchy OPs - Paranoia Agent comes to mind. The singing/chanting while people smile and the world is going to hell behind them.
Then the creepy old man laughs as the world gets nuked.

Agreed with you on that one, and I'm glad to hear someone else thinks the same thing! I thought I was the only one who hated that opening. But lets make this thread happier with Death Note's awesome first opening, which your post just reminded me of!  That opening was perfect, and it had lots of awesome symbolism and stuff, not to mention the song is really catchy... ...and now it's stuck in my head. >o< |

It was kinda hard since he never spoke, but I learned it =] Awesome OP to an awesome anime. |
