Well it certainly isn't easy!

Most other mediums have like, a pantheon of well respected critics and hundreds of other possibles in magazines, newspapers etc.

Have we had a topic yet about your favorite OP ever (taking into account the song and animated OP)?

We discuss it 3 times per season.

My favorite is Driver's High. Is it the BEST EVER? No. But shit is rad man.

2nd 297 Mayuka Kondou @ Onii-chan No Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara Ne!

Preview:

e: Favorite OP ever? That's a tough one, but Baccano's Guns & Roses is a top contender.

Sounds more like something is getting shoved in her throat as she hoarsely muffles the song out.

Maybe it's a hint at being sexually abused by Meme's husbando when she was young. Deep!

I don't even know what we are arguing about anymore! L('-'L)
It's just a op song, and there is a reason for it to be that way, but it won't win a singing contest... It wouldn't be the first time an op or ed is "out of the ordinary".

I much prefer the work of one of the members of JAM Project than the group itself, Yoshiki Fukuyama aka Nekki Basara from Macross 7 >_>

Man, you guys really need to watch some good quality anime again. How about rewatching Air Gear?

Excellent choice.

Tank is still one of my favorites of all time.

I also love Battlecry, even though I can't stand Shin02.

Manga started out amazing then became a convoluted mess. Don't know how the anime is, but I hear it has the Cube battle which is among the best "tournament" matches in anime/manga imo.

Looks like the Idolm@ster BD release is getting two-sided covers:

Poor Haruka. Why would ANYONE use her side instead of Miki's?

AkibaBlog also published a small interview with producer Toba about future episodes of the show; he confirmed that, as expected, episodes 11-13 are a "climax" of sorts, with lots of dancing and singing and "live performances", that will supposedly bring a big change to atmosphere of the show for the second half.

SUPAROBO SUPAROBO
GOD GRAVION
Saviour in the Dark

Jam project spread awesome over games, anime and even live action. Most of their songs are about giant robots and justice, which suits me just fine

Actually your avatar reminds me that I should finish watching Deadman now I've caught up with the manga.

Seriously though, Air Gear is about shounen extreme rollerblading.
It also has Simca and Simca is love

For the record my favorite OP. Barely any words to it (would be better with none).

That is as Jexhius a list as I have ever seen

Welp, might as well (obviously some these links will contain spoilers):

Overall (taking into account music AND how it's animated)
Cowboy Bebop - Tank
Samurai Champloo - Battlecry
RahXephon - Hemisphere
Wolf's Rain - Stray
Bacanno! - Guns & Roses
Durarara! - Uragiri no Yuuyake
Elfen Lied - Lillium
Sengoku Basara - Jap (say what you will but this OP rocked)
Xam'd of The Lost Memories - Shut Up And Explode
Gundam 00 S2 - Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi
Ergo Proxy - Kiri (how could a show so bad have an OP so good?)
Speed Grapher - Girls On Film (but the second version of this OP)
Eden of the East - Falling Down (honestly one of the G.O.A.T. openings)

This list isn't exhaustive but I always go back to these.

OP's Based On Song
Hajime no Ippo: The New Challenger - Hekireki (you could probably stick this in the list above though. I love how the show's title only really appears towards the end)
Darker Than Black - Howling -Inch Up-
Nana - Wish
Gundam SEED Destiny - Pride
Fullmetal Alchemist - Rewrite
Nabari no Ou - Crawl
Blood+ - Aozora no Namida

Okay. I wasn´t joking, Air Gear is great. Only downside is that the anime stops in the middle of stuff, manga continues.
