I love Fate/Zero's second opening.

Also, Monogatari Second Season's 4th OP. You know the one. :v:

Also also, the most subversive and depressing endings ever (as compared to the op).

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
The Buso Renkin OP is the most anime OP ever. Everything about it just screams "Yep, this is AN ANIME!!!" It's got everything, the zoom in on the eyes, the running characters, the flashy still wipes of side characters. Everything!

You know how Roger Ebert grades films based on how well they did what they were trying to do?

I think that by that metric, the Highschool DxD ending sequence is one of the greatest things ever made. Not gonna link it, though.

Not really, it's yet another Gonzo series that starts promising and ends up being a complete mess.

Hitomi (Kuroishi) also did some insert songs for the anime as well.

Might as well start with what I'm watching now, first with a remake of a song I really liked in my childhood and really like now linked to a series that I'm not super enjoying but it's fine. And the ending of said series becuase it's on the same video. Ladies and gentlemen, Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold.

Then, card games. Because card games are what truly matter in this world. Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V (Arc-VD's more like) and Cardfight!! Vanguard G

While I'm at that, here's the far superior current ending of Arc-V. So many egaos!

This is a case where the song is too good for the anime and the series in general. The manga was a little better ending wise and I wish it could have focused on the two main girls developing an actual relationship instead of just dancing around it.

But drat I love the OP song. :(

NANI?

Gasaraki is an interesting show, if maybe not a good one. On one hand it's maybe the closest an anime has ever gotten to asking 'how would mecha suits actually work in the real world?' so you have these lumbering very tank-like but more versatile machines and a very political plot but it's also has a weird secondary plot about aliens and time travel or something, like you couldn't possibly make a mecha show in a post-Evangelion world without that stuff.
