Topic	What animated series has the best opening theme/song?
ParanoidObsessive 10/24/20 11:11:35 PM #32:	GameLord113 posted... Personally I probably have to go with either Rescue Rangers or the X-Men animated series. I'd probably rank Ducktales above Rescue Rangers from that era. A lot of my "best themes ever" are all from 80s cartoons, though I acknowledge a lot of that is because I have nostalgia for them. And because I like 80s music in general. SPEAKING OF WHICH... Raddest_Chad posted... '90s Speed Racer. You're welcome. I'm not sure I'd say that's even the best Speed Racer theme, let alone all that great overall. Hell, when it comes to racing in general, I'd go with this long before that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh_xGfrdbhY Judgmenl posted... Any anime has a better opening than any western TV show. Anime tends to gain points because they deliberately pander to whatever style of music is popular when it's first released, and go full-on radio single airplay with it. But then anime loses a LOT of points because most intros have literally nothing to do with the actual series they're the opening them to, and include tons of batshit lyrics and gratuitous English (and they have a tendency to age really poorly). As an example, watch this and tell me what the anime is about, based solely on the music (and without knowing what it really is in advance): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK9ENtwwtRk Hell, with that particular one, you can watch the literal intro and STILL have no fucking idea what the show is about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOM29mScBzU Western shows usually at least have the virtue of helping people who've never seen the show before understand what the hell they're watching. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:946263292] in What anima...
