What's your favourite English Opening

709

As the question states :)

Here's one i just discovered. Haven't watched the anime yet but i've already memorized the
lyrics- courtesy of listening to it for three hours straight ... blame procrastination. But it is honestly
a beautiful song and im starting to consider that it might now be my second favourite opening ever.
Even the lyrics slap. Plus ... i have a little obsession with stars. Oh and "ethereal sounding" music.
Funilly, i didn't LOVE it initially. Rather the more i listened to it, the more it grew on me.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Die Neue These An adorable star We can see from afar But a truth it belies All who enters her dies Hear the beating of wings As the pendulum swings And we can't believe it's ever gonna end You know blood is thicker than water But you just want everyone to get along For the candles in the darkness Burning up the sorrow There's no end to sadness We didn't learn For the broken hearted people Diamonds now surround us So out of our mind Leave the past behind REST OF THE LYRICS We're a binary heart Tear each other apart Growing from the same stem They were us, we were them On a course to collide Is it strength not to hide? Let the politics decide you're not a friend . You know blood is thicker than water But you just want everyone to get along . For the candles in the darkness Burning up the sorrow There's no end to sadness We didn’t learn For the broken hearted people Diamonds now surround us So out of our mind Leave the past behind . Binary A centrifugal force Pushing us far away That’s our eternity Binary We can’t escape the force Crushing us Gravity is our eternity . For the candles in the darkness Burning up the sorrow There’s no end to sadness We didn’t learn For the broken hearted people Diamonds now surround us So out of our mind Leave the past behind

Duvet by Boa, I absolutely adore this opening, never skipped once

  this is what immediately came to mind when i saw the question. been listening to it ever since i watched the anime like a month ago

  edit: it looks like it's exactly 1 month ago today since i started listening to it. it's really good. I don't even notice time passing by while listening to it so i never skipped. great taste, AkiZ

Princess Principal's OP is pretty cool. One of my favorites in fact, regardless of language.

  x10000, the lyrics are emo af but this song is straight up fire. Have you heard some other stuff by the same band? They're quite different but really good too.

  This anime's openings are always nice to listen to.
  Im personally pretty attached to Opening 3.
  Ayaya 5y
  Agreed. Opening 3 is my favorite as well

  a classic

this beautiful creation
- Removed 5y
  AKA what used to be my favourite opening of all time for years XD
  Until i found a different one for first place. And as pointed up above,
  looks like i found one for second place. Leaving this for third ^^'
  
  Oh well, its still pretty high up there at least :)
  infinitely 5y
  your second place one is good! It's one of those that makes me think of watching the show just bc the OP is nice lol
  
  tbh I didn't like History Maker (and YOI) that much the first time I watched it but recently I just realized how good it is!
  Removed 5y
  I still dont like YOI on ice lol.
  Fun Fact: Its gotten to the point where i associate the song with a
  book series i love. I dont even picture YOU in my head when i hear
  it anymore XD Sorry to the anime .....
  
  I dont know, i love Shonen Ai ... but this one annoys me somehow.
  I guess i actually wanted it to focus on the ice-scating or something.
  
  But never being able to skip the op is exactly what kept me watching.
  I also really love listening to this cover. Its not spectacular or anything,
  yet Taylor just looks like she's having so much fun playing it that i can't
  help but picture an all out happy epilogue filled with satisfaction.
  
  infinitely 5y
  understandable tbh it was meh to me the first time I saw it hahaha
  I feel like it would have been a lot better with more episodes, but I totally get why people wouldn't feel attached to anything in the show/dislike the show hahahaha
  
  I like some of the performance songs and yeah, I wish there were more ice skating moments tbh
  honestly don't know if I liked it so much partially because I'm stuck at home and I miss dancing (more flailing in my case lol) and I just envied Yuri and everyone lol
  
  what book series might that be? just curious :))
  
  ooh that's a good cover!! I love violin covers they elevate songs in such a cool way! hahaha
  Removed 5y
  For some mysterious reason The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare.
  I think it definitely has alot to do with the fact that i found that violin cover
  right after reaching the epilogue of the trilogy. And that epilogue had me
  sobbing nonstop for a while. Before it there's a sort of "ball scene" and
  now this cover is permanently trapped in my head as the background
  music to that whole scene.

  And honestly, SAME.
  Im so intimidated by the anime i kid you not.
  Spaceships and war just so isnt my thing.
  
  But it feels like everyone who watches this anime
  thinks its that rare gem that not enough people watch
  and always end up putting it on their faves. At least
  for the older 80s version of it. But apparently this
  new ver is good too.
  
  Reminds me of what happens with Pandora Hearts.
  So while im struggling to watch it, this song is making
  sure i stay motivated until i finally do check it out.
  infinitely 5y
  true it seems I don't see any negative comments about that show! (yes, the old ver as well), but a good remake is so promising since they're kind of rare lol
  
  the number of episodes is pretty scary too TT
- GenAsagiri 5y
  yes.

Mushi-shi’s OP is great

I know this is just for openings but I feel the need to include Great Pretender’s ED too. Love Freddie Mercury and the cute cats is a bonus

  OMG this is nostalgic <33333
  And its a banger even without the nostalgia.
  
  Though i just realised something ....
  IS NATE SINGING THIS????
  It sounds like him ....
  
  EDIT: Came back after checking.
  Holy Moly he sang an official anime song!!!
  MrHatz4Patz 5y
  Huh, I have not heard that name in a long time, this was not the way I expected to hear it. A surprise, but a welcome one to be sure.
ChirekachiMizu 5y
Idk if this counts, but almost the entirety of Long Shot (Re:Zero S2 P2) is english, so I guess I'll say Long Shot.

Or something like AoT S4's OP, or the very 1st Pokemon English OP. lul

We'll offer up

Until our hearts have stopped
With our own hands
We'll take a stand
And carve a path
Into our future

Until our hearts have stopped
With our own hands
We'll take a stand
And live to see another day

Kinda suprised that no one mentioned the yu gi oh 5ds OP, one of my favourites
onchyophoran 5y
my top answer would probably be:
but here are some other 'classics' THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP there aren't full lyrics per se, but it's definitely in English a rare anime with both an opening & ending in English if one permits a little Russian thrown in—
