Manga UK loved changing the music in stuff back in the day and it almost always ended up better than the original version.

Did someone say Tank POL-IIICE!? :cop:

whoa wtf, this show looks super cool...and apparently Gainax was involved? how the hell did I not hear of this before? o.o

...or is that because it's not good

Yeah the opening isn't representative of the actual show, sadly.

FRIENDS, LISTEN TO ME
I AM A SEAGULL
OF WEALTH AND TASTE
Some memories from a misspent youth. I haven't watched anime for many years now but I was passing by so here are some things I remember.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umjtA_57RNA
Gundam 00 S2 OP2, with vocals by one of the fansubbers (he's actually really, really good). We did this as a parody of other fansubbers at the time who we thought had went overboard with special effects and whatnot. There are a lot of goons in the credits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRVnAapHohc
The original vocals for comparison.

I dunno if FLCL is as iconic today as it was 10-15 years ago, but the ending is still p good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05p646nlYS0
Bokurano OP. Don't think I ever watched the show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNwiVoNPHi0
Xam'd OP SHUT UP AND EXPLODE. Never watched this show either but I don't think it was very good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVxmLIaOhWQ
Gunslinger Girl il Teatrino ED. IIRC the show was complete garbage but the song is good. There's two versions with different vocals; I think the Tada Aoi version is better but w/e.



Also, all of Kalafina's endings to the Kara no Kyoukai movies are pretty good. Gotta say Sprinter is my favorite though, closely followed by Aria.

I really like this one because in addition to being nice to listen to, it's also theseriesprimaryconflict.mp3. Such a great set up for the ED/OP switcharoo at the end of the story.

Thank you, idiot who keeps asking if Gundam is ready for QC but doesn't actually QC and may or may not actually be a chinese pedophile, I'm sure they couldn't have done it without you. :patriot:

Xam'd OP SHUT UP AND EXPLODE. Never watched this show either but I don't think it was very good.

Xam'd is pretty drat generic, right up until you can spot something that they obviously lifted from a better anime. Whether it's the female lead's outfit and gear (Nausicaa) and her glider (it's the Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop), or a giant monster escaping through sealed doors up a colossal elevator shaft (granted pretty vague, but they way they do the scene and dialogue is pretty drat similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion).

Those are two of my favorite shows, and its amazing how well the OP/ED match the shows themselves.

Yakitate Japan ED2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3QBeRCKnE0 Sorry for the quality, but I feel like this needs to be posted too.

A bunch that I search for have been copyright flagged, which seems like a waste. Its not like the animation has the whole song in it, and its a good way to attract new interest in a show. Good openings have definitely sparked my interest in more than a few shows.
