Criteria
Anime
openings are often weird for the sake of being weird. They can have little to
nothing to do with the actual show.
Yet this is
not a constant. There are examples of times where I want to watch the opening
number. That got me thinking, why do I do that? What makes an outstanding
opening theme?
I came to
the conclusion that:
1. It needs to grab your attention
immediately.
2. It needs to stick with you, not just after
the episode but after the entire series.
3. You must be able to recognize it on its own
if encountered outside its series.
4. It must get you excited to watch the show.
With those
in mind here are my Top Ten Opening Themes in Anime

getting to the main list, it's important to note that it wasn't easy to narrow
down ten.
There are
just so many outstanding contenders that I want to include, but can’t. So to
make this list a bit longer and stretch the meaning of the word ten, here are
two honorable mentions.
