I generally skip anime OP’s, but every once in awhile I’ll watch one. The song is often what catches my attention. However, the animation quality is important as well. I prefer if the OP uses new content, rather than reanimating an old scene. However, if the scenes are from episodes or movies not yet released this isn’t a problem, spoilers are. That said here’s my top 10:
10. Boruto OP4
Artist: Brian the Sun/Song: Lonely Go!
9. Shingeki no Kyojin OP1
Artist: Linked Horizon/Song: Guren no Yumiya
8. Naruto Shippuden OP16
Artist: KANA-BOON/Song: Silhouette
7. Samurai Champloo OP
Artist: Nujabes feat. Shing02/Song: Battlecry
6. JJK OP4
Artist: King Gnu/Song: SPECIALZ
5. One Piece OP 26
Artist: Hiroshi Kitadani/Song: Us!
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion OP
Artist: Yoko Takahashi/Song: ZANKOKUNA TENSHINO TEEZE
3. Sailor Moon OP
Artist: Brynne Price and Nicole Price/Song: Sailor Moon Theme Song
2. Dragon Ball Z OP
Artist: Ocean Studios/Song: Rock the Dragon
1. Pokémon OP
Artist: Jason Paige/Song: Pokémon Theme Song

Thank you.
I get the Pokemon World theme song (specifically the movie version) stuck in my head a lot.
I love that theme song. I reminds me of my childhood.
I always liked that Samurai Champloo OP. I wish Nujabes were still around.
Samurai Champloo soundtrack was really good. I’m sorry to hear about Nujabes.
Oooh, “Silhouette” by KANA-BOON and the classic “Cruel Angel’s Thesis” are up there! Looks pretty good if you ask me! 😁
Thanks.
No Cowboy Bebop or Death Note (2nd Opening)? Time to scream into my pillow again.
I got another list of ten coming.
