I'm dealing with some contentious feelings about Foundation on Apple+, but damn, if Bear McCreary's theme, combined with that art is excellent. It's got me thinking - what show's opening most outshines everything that comes afterwards?

I liked Seasons 1-3 but Frontier was terrible.

This show was okay, pretty average stuff but the opening credits sequence is great.

There was definitely a show I was thinking of the other week that was perfect example... maybe it'll come to me later.

But here's a good one. Honestly I'm not sure if it's more that the show was just meh, or if it's just that the theme song was wayyyyyyyyyy better than it had any right to be:

Until Promised Neverland S2 came around, this was the worst anime adaption I've ever seen in relation to it's original, but man does this OP rule.

Of course I haven't seen the Umineko anime.

not every season of AHS is good but every season does have great opening credits, so I'd say any of the bad seasons are eligible here

It's certainly a template in how to craft a story that loses its way and sends all the wrong messages in the process

I still think back to how mind-numbingly stupid Suzaku's Geass command got.

probably worse cases out there but probably one of the only times i can definitively say the opening was the ONLY reason i bothered watching more than 1 episode and it wasn't worth it

Baywatch

It used to come on at like 3AM after whatever I would normally have on in the background, I would watch the intro then turn it off or go to bed

I didn't post this one because it's a copyright claim nightmare, but Dailymotion to the rescue.

Also this one is wierd because I actually love this show, but I think people tend to think it's pretty bad?

No show will ever clear both sides of the field like Baccano, anime or otherwise.
