In this article, we have prepared a list of the 10 best anime openings not very well known. Here, we will not put openings from One Piece, Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Bleach or any other more famous series.
The criteria used for the construction of this ranking were the following: rhythm, lyrics and what I call the “peak moment” of the opening (which is usually when the music abruptly changes its pitch and the loudness speed increases). The peak moment usually occurs from the second 50 of the openings, but this is not a fixed rule.
Let's go to the list!
