After falling in love with the second opening theme from Attack on Titan I started to think about what openings/closings I loved from anime. I was initially going to choose my top five but I couldn’t narrow it down that far. So here they are in no particular order.

1. Neon Genesis Evangelion – Zankoku Na Tenshi No These

4. Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu – Sore Ga Ai Deshou

5. Attack on Titan – Jiyuu no Tsubasa

10. Honey & Clover – Abertura

So many others I could include! There is nothing like an opening or closing that is so good that you don’t skip it to get to the anime. Honourable mentions are Attack on Titan – Guren no Yumia and Kimi ni Todoke – Kimi ni Todoke.
