Favorite Anime OP & ED!
Hey all! I was surfing through some blogs recently in MyAnimeList.net, and found how some users posted in a list their favorite anime openings and and endings. I really like the idea as I love opening sequences! The opening sort of sets the excitement of the episode to come for me. I usually never skip openings unless I really don't like either the song or animation, but it's highly unlikely I do it! XD Endings on the other hand, I almost always skip. Though there are some exceptions that I really love. I at least watch twice to see if I grow into it but as I mention before I'm not very keen on endings. (^^;) Anywho, I'll stop rambling and post them below! :)
Openings
Click to viewInjured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize
Anime: Bleach, 2nd Opening
Song & Artist: D-Techno Life - UVERworld
(I have an obsession with openings who's song is sang by UVERworld. There's quite a few below~ ^^;)
May my wish ride on the wind and ring daybreak's bell
Like a bird - My wishes over their airspace
Crossing countless waves, to protect
You, who are facing off against tomorrow - My life I trade in for your pain
Anime: Gundam 00, 1st Opening Season One
Song & Artist: Daybreak's Bell - L'Arc~en~ciel
(This opening! <3 I was so sad when the second opening came, even if I came to like it later. The song by one of my favorite bands, and the animation is great. Gundams owning everyone~ XD)
The dream that I dreamed
Is endlessly distant
The sky blue of the desiccated days are in my hand
Anime: Code Geass, 2nd Opening
Song & Artist: Kaidoku Funou - Jinn
Born into the world, each enjoying his own life, discovering the black box in his head...is this bliss?
The important thing is to surpass your limit line. Shall we go? Take your step, and outdo yourself today!
But what should we do with our days? Trying to live flawlessly is a big no no.
Stop! Observe thoroughly the flow of the world! Ignore everything else, and here we go!
Anime: Blue Exorcist, 1st Opening
Song & Artist: Core Pride - UVERworld
(For this opening, in the subs that I was reading, the line where they say 'But what should we do with our days? Trying to live flawlessly is a big no no' was translated as 'Life's a bitch, so if it's easy they you're doing it wrong'. I like the sub version much better! One of my favorite quotes at the moment! Needless to say this is my favorite opening at the moment as well! ^_^)
Revive
Rewrite
Even meaningless imagination is the driving force that creates you
Give it your whole body and soul
Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist, 4th Opening
Song & Artist: Rewrite - Asian Kung-Fu Generation
(The lyrics of this song always make me feel better when I feel down.)
Gracefully, just like you
The aroma of uncut flowers remains
When words could not reach you
They disappeared from the branches
Anime: Hakuoki
Song & Artist: Izayoi Namida - Aika Yoshioka
Darkness is born only from light.
And it's only fake warmth I feel;
From the doubtful thought that we might have reached our dream.
My new vow came with my change of heart;
Forever I'll bear my scars and carve them upon myself.
I won't let them fade away in time.
Anime: D-Gray Man, 3rd Opening
Song & Artist: Doubt & Trust - access
What you get from pretty words you half-heartedly put down on papers
is just a desperately put together, empty story of pretty words.
Anime: D-Gray Man, 4th Opening
Song & Artist: Gekidou - UVERworld
Basking in the light of the moon, taking a deep breath
In a world where there’s no yelling voice or sound of plates breaking
Without sharing warmth, we can keep living
However, just living is not enough for us
Anime: Bleach, 9th Opening
Song & Artist: Velonica - Aqua Timez
(The animation in this video is epic for me! Especially Aizen's part! He looks really evil, just how he is supposed to! The song is powerful, and it definitely pumped me before watching Bleach on Adult Swim.)
Endings
The two of us are screaming all the time
Just continuing to believe isn't the answer
Expose your weaknesses and your wounds
If we don't continue to struggle, nothing will begin
So break through, beyond the door
Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist, 2nd Ending
Song & Artist: Tobira no Mukuo E - Yellow Generation
(This use to be my favorite song during my high school years. I love everything about this ending. It fits so perfectly. *sighs* I want to watch FMA again.)
Simply liking you won't satisfy me.
Simply admiring you won't satiate me.
Today, too, the only thing real is my loneliness.
If I go see you now, I'll surely end up crying.
Anime: Sekaiichi Hatsukoi
Song & Artist: Ashita, Boku wa Kimi ni Ai ni Iku
(I love the lyrics of this song! I instantly fell in love with them when I found the translation.)
Woot! Finished! That took longer than I expected! ^^; I would really love to know what your favorite openings and endings are. Do we share any in common?! :D Anywho, I'm going to cut this entry here! Have a nice day/night!
