We have threads to discuss anime itself, but what about the first (or, in some cases, nearly first) thing we see when we sit down to watch an episode, the opening sequence/theme?
I'll start us off with this:
I adore virtually all the Initial D OPs (there are 7 for the full seasons, not counting movies like 3rd stage, and OVAs), but the above, the last one from Final Stage, has the right mix of powerful sound and visuals, and it is also, naturally, the most up to date graphics-wise. It screams speed, competition, power, skill, which are some of the themes of the show, as well as recaps some of the events without actually showing us any of the character's faces, which I find remarkable. In a show like Initial D, the cars themselves are characters in their own right. Did I mention how I love Initial D?
Anyway, what anime OPs have you enjoyed? Whether for their ingenuity, amazing music, or simply because they're cool?
