Before we get started I’ll like to make some rules for this list:
*Only anime allowed on this lijst meaning only Japanese cartoons
*They are rare exceptions to the last rule though, if the cartoon acts like an anime.
* I had to watch the anime to include the theme song to the list
*One song per anime

10.Princess Tutu Op(Morning Grace):
We start off this lijst with a very dark and tragic anime Op to match the anime it represents.The genre is the Magical girl genre so, of course it’s going to be dark. It’s known to be deceiving; Anyway back on topic with The Princess Tutu opening.

This Op is probably the most fitting to it’s anime then any of the other choices for this list. The only reason why I put it this low is because I found it boring to listen to because personally I’m not a big fan of Classical music. It was just that type of muziek that was just the right type of beautiful to help me take a good nap, and just like most the piano is the center of attention. Which it does a beautiful job at making it suit the theme of the anime well. I think the imagery stunningly fits the atmosphere of the theme nicely too.Overall this is the ideal song to listen, if u are the type of person that is into the classical genre.

9.Angel Beats Op (My Soul, Your Beats):
We start out with this beautiful piano solo before getting into the actual lyrics and it’s actually a pretty satisfying start to the song.

It fits the atmosphere of the song really well; With how the muziek is very slow and tragic feel. The beat also helps with the atmosphere of the show. On an unrelated note I was thinking about putting another Key’s works on this list. Specifically Clannad’s After Story theme song but, I decided to go for this one since I find it a little better at fitting in with the toon it represents.Not saying Clannad’s didn’t match, it did; Just not as well as Angel Beats. Back on topic the song is very well made and is very much a song I suggest listening to.

8.Black Butler Op(Monochrome no Kiss):
Oh yes, the very populair anime that is somehow, isn’t either a hit of miss for most people. Interesting….Okay what does the Op sounds like?
link]https://youtu.be/oihy_0oC-yE[/url][/url]
Wow,it is really amazing how the show, and it’s song both suit each other perfectly. The muziek and the tone of the song feels very dark and mysterious.Along with a exciting visuals to get u ready for the show. I also really love how the song can pull u in quickly as it goes on.The energy just gets faster as u go deeper into the song. I think it’s a great theme song that can easily get u into the mood of the toon and what it is about too.

7.Toradora Op(Pre-Parade):
Interesting number seven choice huh, and I bet u didn’t even know that I was going to put it on the list,did you?
link]https://youtu.be/fVKmASU7Xa0[/url][/url]
This song starts off really strong with a electronic sound and auto-tuned voice . The lyrics might not be the best, and yeah it’s very laughable. Though I can excuse this Op for it since,how well it matches one of our main characters, Taiga. That’s surprisingly a great idea, it really sounds like she did the lyrics for the song herself. That makes it unique and distinct against most openings. I personally find it really underrated Op, that needs meer attention.What’s u take?
Random YouTube comment:”U take dat from Windwakerguy, u troll!Come up with ur own ideas idiot! Imp u suc because u ever came up with ur own ideas!”
Me:”Um……..I do, u ju-....Okay volgende Op!”

6.RWBY Op(This will be the day):
I need to get this out of the way I don’t count this as anime since it was made in america, but this time it’s one of the rare exceptions that I mentioned earlier, and the theme song projects that perfectly.
link]https://youtu.be/CtMXnr293zU[/url][/url]
This is one of the few songs on this lijst that has great lyrics that fits and
sounds good at the same time, while fitting into the anime it’s representing.I mean cartoon of course, but I digress. Why I put it on this lijst is the beat of the song;It gives u a taste on what u getting into and gets u excited for it. The vocalist, Cassie Lee Williams did a great job at capturing the spirit of the song. Which simply the most epic female empowerment songs ever! See, I don’t usually like these type of songs since well...it’s for the most part generic and annoying, but I do really think they did a great job on this one. It’s very distinctive, since it’s rare to see the female empowerment song be a rock track. globaal, algemene I love the song.Especially since how much energy it has, this can seriously pass as an empowering song since it’s one of the only empowering songs that does it’s job correctly.

5.Sword Art Online Op(Crossing Field):
I liked all of the openings from this anime, I think I had the hardest time deciding if I should put Crossing Field of Innocence on this list, but at the end I think it had to be this one:
link]https://youtu.be/Yg98e4twWmo[/url][/url]
Yes, I know it’s overrated in every sense of the word, but listen to it. It sounds awesome, LiSA did a great job on the vocals.(She’s personally one of my favorites). She always sounded very powerful and energetic when singing. On top, boven of that the whole song fits perfectly with the feeling of the show.My personal favoriete part is when the singer goes into a totally different tone of the song then slowly goes back to it’s original tone. It was kinda of the highlight of the song’s lyrics wise as well. I think the muziek helped too along with how well it complements LiSA’s voice.At times the pacing was a bit slow, but globaal, algemene I think they did a great job with that as well. The only part of the song I didn’t like was the ending lyrics, that was about it though.Personally I find it a great song that deserves all of the love it gets.

4. Sailor Moon crystal Op (Moon Pride):
u know when I zei I hated the original SM but, Crystal is a lot better in my opinion both in writing,characters,development and the best change of all theme song.
link]https://youtu.be/mAAbVgly3cM[/url][/url]
It’s amazing how the manga is actually a lot meer modern than the anime. I would most certainly believe u if u zei this came out in the 1990’s being(if it had a different art style). I think this is exactly what the original SM anime should’ve of been like.The muziek and the writing feels exactly like it was from the 1990’s. Granted I haven’t really read the manga but, I was just told door a lot of people it’s 100% accurate and I believe them weirdly enough but, I digress. The theme fits the story a lot better than the original and it’s catchy :D. The lyrics are still kind a of misleading though. First it was “Sailor Moon never runs from a fight” she runs from a fight in the majority of the first season.Then it is “We are not helpless girls, who need men’s protection.” Gets saved door Tuxedo Mask a lot in the beginning. Just saying but, with that aside the beat is nice and is a pretty fast paced song. It is especially relevant when u get meer near the end of the song when they break out into full blown excitement and energy;“So..shiny make up!” Again the lyrics need some work but, globaal, algemene it’s a great theme song that gets u excited for the show.

3.Magi:The Labyrinth of Magic Op(V.I.P): A strange choice for this lijst , but for whatever reason I just couldn’t leave it out.
link]https://youtu.be/HDd658GYvng[/url][/url]
I love the chorus in the song; It’s just filled with this great beat and pacing it’s really energetic and catchy! Plus that with a really epic score done door Mimijumi and sung Sid;That really makes the song worth wild. It’s kinda of off putting though that this song gives u the idea that this anime is about getting farther in life and completing your goal in life. Which it kind of does a little, but it doesn’t really go into detail of anything. I guess globaal, algemene though, it doesn’t really compliment the toon that much, but it’s very much a good theme on it’s own.To the beat,pacing,and the power in the vocals behind it.I truly adore this song as it’s.

2.Powerpuff girls Z Op(Demashita): *sighs* yes another reboot and the third magical genre ops to be on here. Not that I have a problem with that of anything. I’m just surprised that’s all, anyway lets get into another reboot of the classics becoming modernized with OP(over powered) songs that surpass the original when it comes to Ops.
link]https://youtu.be/eznOQk3j3vo[/url][/url]
Wow, the energy just makes the song all the meer fun to listen to.Especially with people who prefer to have a theme be light-hearted and filled with energy. I’ll just come out and say it this is the catchiest theme song I ever heard! The transition in the song seems prefect to the point when I’m wondering why this Op is so underrated. The beat is very energetic and gets u into the mood to watch the show.Overall,It’s a very catchy and underrated song that needs meer love in my opinion.

1.Sword Art Online 2 Op(Ignite): What? I never zei sequels counted as a part of the original product, mostly because it doesn’t.
link]https://youtu.be/W4ldf7beu58[/url][/url]
Don’t u just love the energy and effort that’s put in the openings of anime’ and SAO really likes to have all of it’s beget on the basic stuff like music, animation, premise, art style, etc and not enough time at characters of any of the harder stuff but,man did they put a lot of money in the theme of not.I just adore the slow pacing it starts out with to only go faster as we go on. It gets especially excited when we get farther into the song;When the Vocalist starts to sound meer into what she sings with meer energy. The imagery is very fitting into the whole thing as well.Anyway I really adore the theme, I suggest downloading it to your Itunes.
