[kkslider5552000]

Mine are the first OP of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

you are not a guy if you disagree with the first one 

[kirite]

F*ck yeah Sayanara Zetsubou Sensei and Zoku.  Best openings ever, I just love that awesome drawing style.

Eh.... I'm not a guy but what the hey.

I like a lot of anime openings actually but I'll limit to a few.

Well then, for the nerds this thread can't exist without The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.  For one...it's Haruhi, for two it has tones of fun things to spot while you're waiting for the rest of the video to load:

Ositronium, Lambda baryons, benzene ring, cyclohexanes, infinite number, Titius-Bode law, Planck's constant, Drake equation, time-dependent Schrödinger equation, Hubble's law, infinite product, definition of information entropy, large numbers1, stationary Schrödinger equation, the theory of relativity, probability axioms, definition of Laplace operator, the wave equation in one space dimension, and small numbers.

For those who like scenery porn and vector will like Eden of the East's opening:

hmmm, never really gave it much thought, it's generally the songs rather than the OP itself that get stuck in my head

but I guess, I'll say the original Death Note OP ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqOJRC0sWCk ) 's up there for overall, and the first Hajime no Ippo : The Fighting OP ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAAB5A2ZBaU ), along with the second ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap0zJeeqB6k ) for just the songs.

[takiko]

hmm... 2nd opening of shaman king...

[bluekaitou1412]

hmm... 2nd opening of shaman king...

oh, yah. Northern Lights.

[takiko]

i also like kekkaishi's opening theme... i can't seem to get bored in it even though i've been listening to it since january...

[miakakiri]

OP that are really cool, huh? Song, animation, overall, what?
Hmm....
CardCaptor Sakura--all 3 OP.
Fushigiboshi no Futago-hime (They're just soo CUTE!)
Must agree about Haruhi...Though I think I liked the first-season OP a little better.
Ouran High School Host Club has a pretty good OP
Slayers (especially Slayers Next! I LOVE "Give A Reason")
Saiunkoku Monogotori (aka "Tale of Saiunkoku") it's such a pretty song, and the animation is cool!
Special A has a couple good ones....I think my favorite is the second one, about "Icchi peiiji"
I like the OP for Pretty Cure, though I'm not sure I get the plot.
Hand Maid May's OP is pretty cool, lots of fun! *^_^*
The "Dive Into Shine" OP from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is a good one...

Um....that's all I can think of right now.
I don't really have an opinion on a lot of the other ones that have been listed, because they go to anime I haven't seen. And I'm a girl & have no interest in naked anime people.....

[kat1214young]

All of Shaman King!!!!!
since there's only 2 ops.... then...
Over Soul and Northern Lights!!!!!
but my very fave is Northern Lights ballad version
it's really nice!

Spoiler:

aokaitou try listening to it since you like Northern Lights XD
and takiko too ^^

and also Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's Again!!! ^^
ftw!!!!

[takiko]

the ballad version is good, but when i repeatedly listened to it, i got bored because of the slow melody...

I know!  I was surprised when I first head it as well xD.

It's great to see them using a greater diversity of bands x].

Though it probably has to do with the fact that Eden seems to be a pretty high budget anime.  They can afford these things xD.

Fullmetal Alchemist opening 2
Fullmetal Alchemist opening 3
Fullmetal Alchemist opening 4

oh wait I forgot that although they are not as good, there are some really awesome non-Zetsubou OPs!

Naruto OP 2 (it shouldn't be this hard to find on Youtube)
Naruto OP 3 (...)
Naruto OP 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y214WVbvFE)

Eureka 7 OP 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs2M2sAZpeU) This anime is much more enjoyable than it has any right to be now that I think about it...but hell, that describes A LOT of anime.

BOBOBO OPENING 2 BAKA SURVIVOR HELL YEAH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHcOW3NyYwY)
