What are you favorite show openings/intros (the beginning song that introduces a show) and closings/outros (the end song at the, uh... end, obviously)? They don't necessarily need to be anime intros and outros, but I have a suspicion that those are what most people are going to list.
Anyways, my favorite show openings and closings are the ones from Paranoia Agent or the first opening and closing of FMA.
The X-Files :love:
Futurama's opening was pretty amazing.

Samurai Champloo's opening, no doubt. Samurai Champloo also has my favorite closing. :p
The original Transformers first season opening and closing.......so cool. The 'Cowboy Bebop' opening was pretty awsome too and so was the 'Gunsmith Cats' opening.
I'd have to second Shiny's sentiments on Cowboy Bebop. I saw a parody of the opening for that and, since then, I haven't forgotten that particular opening.
Firefly. <3
The Simpsons.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'll also have to go with Genji, Samurai Champloo's opening was really well done.
The old-school Batman theme. You know, the one from the old Adam West series.
Sailor Moon!!!
The song is catchy.
I don't know but I will list a few that have yet to be mentioned
Venture Bros
Bleach(original opening)
24
Now for closings...
Bleach(2nd Closing)
Eureka Seven(1st closing)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex(Both seasons)

I would have to say the ghost in the shell: SAC (both seasons) intro's and closings were really good. FMA was pretty good to honestly
The Friends opening has always been a favourite of mine. I also think that the Buffy and Angel openings are great, and who can forget the Simpson opening :cool:
Family Guy holds the best opening. As for closing....I really haven't seen any shows with good closings.
I the song popped in my ehad when you guys started saying cowboy bebopQuote:

I love Buffy's and Angel's.
Paranoia Agent's is awesome.
The first one for Bleach was catchy.
And yes, Yu Yu Hakusho. <3 "Hohoemi no Baku~dan!"
My favorite openings are Paranoia Agent, Kodocha, the second Get Backers opening, and Hellsing.
My favorite closing is the ending for GANTZ.
100% True. But the ending themes usually aren't that good.Quote:

The song is stellar.
As for endings...any family guy/simpsons episode that has things going on behind the credits. :}
Openings: Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, and House.
Closings: No idea, because the TV cuts to half-screen and has "This is coming up next" over the music, and I skip the credits on DVDs.
sanford and son
Tenchi in Tokyo.
Agreed, espeically since I just started this series ^^Quote:

Oh wait. Spongebob is godly. :love: And Fresh Prince of Bel Air is pretty awesome.
Bleach - Hanabi for endings
I agree with this, though I haven't watched much of SAC second season yet.Quote:

I like the openings for Bleach, and the first ending of full metal alchemist.
For openings, King of Bandit Jing, Final Fantasy Unlimited and Azumangah Daioh are some of my favourites.
For closings, King of Bandit Jing, the second closing of Final Fantasy Unlimited I liked.
I also kinda liked most of the Digimon closings, showing the evolved forms and stuff, some of them looked awesome (For that age anyway >.>)
Fresh Prince, Ninja Turtles, Doug (cartoon)
Anime openings: Eureka 7's 3rd I like the best (Taiyou no Mannaka He), but they're all good
Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, NANA and R.O.D. (TV)'s music are awesome.
As for endings, I really fell in love with 'Hanabi', which is the closing before the one that's on now for Bleach.
I love how anime uses real, existing artists that do other music. I've discovered some great musicians through anime-- Asian Kung Fu Generation, Ikimono Gakari, Tommy Heavenly6, Home Made Kazoku...
I listened to some of the endings of Inuyasha and I think they're good, also.
