In this article, I will share my favorite anime openings of all time. Of course, over time, epic openings appear that can replace or enter my top 10, as was the case with the opening of Darling in the Franxx and Steins;Gate Zero, which I have been listening to practically every day.

Departure - Hunter x Hunter
Some people get tired of hearing the same opening song in 148 episodes, but I really liked it and thought it perfectly matches the transitions in the anime. The opening Departure is sung by Masatoshi Ono who was born in 1967 and known as the lead singer of the band Galneryus. Same band that sings the second ending of the anime which is also epic.
The world is falling in love - Blue Spring Ride
I don't know why I liked this song so much that I chose the name of the site as Suki Desu, considering that this expression appears only once in the song, but in a penetrating way. It's a very popular song in Japan and in karaoke, and it was created by CHiCO with HoneyWorks.
Rain SID - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood | Período | Again
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is one of the most epic anime of all time. People prefer the earlier openings like Again and Period which are also very good, but my favorite is probably the least popular, the last opening called Rain sung by SID.
Cruel Angel's Thesis - Evangelion
Most of you already know this song, it's one of the most popular in Japan, basically it's the most sung song in karaoke and one of the most popular of all time sung by Yoko Takahashi. I haven't even watched the anime and I know pretty much the whole song word for word.
Hikaru Nara - Shigatsu wa kimi no uso
Goose House is one of my favorite japanese bands, mainly because of this opening and ending of the anime Gin no Saji oto no naru hou e. This band is famous for making covers on youtube, the way they sing in sync is very good and gives a more natural feel to the music:
Uchuu Kyoudai - OP 1 and OP 8
The anime Uchuu Kyoudai is one of my favorites and I really like the first opening (Feel so Moon) and especially the eighth: B.B by THE Yatou.
Friendship - Sukitte II at Yo
The first time I heard this song, I had a slight impression of having heard it somewhere else. And indeed, this same song appears in the anime Love Hina, which is quite old. It was hard to find this song on YouTube; probably the copyright issues are quite significant. This song is sung by Okazaki Ritsuko, and the two versions are a bit different.
Irony - My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute
One of my favorite anime has one of my favorite songs sung by the band Claris who also sings the opening of Ero Manga Sensei. The best thing about this opening is that each episode of the anime had different transitions, a different opening each episode. I'll leave 2 versions of the song, the original and another that I also think is pretty cool.
Try Again – Detective Conan
Mai Kuraki is famous for singing several songs from the famous anime detective conan. My favorite is Try Again the opening number 35. I also really like the ending koi ni koishite.
Meu Querido - Guilty Crown
I don't have much to say about this opening, just listen to Koeda's masterpiece, Supercell.
