In this article, we have prepared a list of the 10 best anime openings that are not very well known. Here, we will not include openings from One Piece, Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Bleach, or any other more famous series.
The criteria used to construct this ranking were as follows: rhythm, lyrics, and what I call the "climax moment" of the opening (which is usually when the music suddenly shifts in tone and the speed of the sound increases). The climax moment typically occurs around the 50-second mark of the openings, but this is not a strict rule.
Let's go to the list!
