Raptor Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 What do you guys think are the best openings and endings or any new anime this season (or any new endings from previous anime)? I think the best ending and opening songs both go Fantastic Children. I've been watching it every week on TV, and I'm still confused as hell... actually it's on in about an hour I think... I basically watch it because it comes on before Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, which is my favorite anime this season. It also has a nice opening... eheheh... Quote
Agent ONE Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 My favorite ending is the fanjet end in SDF-Macross. My second favorite is the Minmay album ending in SDF-Macross. I don't think I have a favorite opening, maybe Golgo13: The Professional. Quote
Raptor Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 I said this season Meaning anime that came out this year... Quote
Anubis Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 I'm WAY behind on my Anime viewings, but I can say at least Gundam SEED Destiny's 1st OP and ED are pretty sweet. Quote
treatment Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 ghost in the shell: stand alone complex 2nd Gig. has the kickass opening and a good and cool ending-song. then there're the op/eds of Girls Bravo, Kimi Ga Nozomu and Kono Mini. have to wait for the new Ah! My Goddess TV and Girls Bravo 2 next year. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 The opening for Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig is pretty snazzy, and I'm really digging the theme (which considering that I'm anti-Jpop is something). Quote
EXO Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Bebop opening. ... though I don't watch a lot of anime... Edited November 29, 2004 by >EXO< Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 I like Samurai Champloo and Stand Alone Complex (2nd GIG). Both have VERY catchy opening and ending songs. Quote
Raptor Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 have to wait for the new Ah! My Goddess TV and Girls Bravo 2 next year. I want to see the Goddess TV show too... The movie actually takes place after the manga "ends" (although it hasn't yet), right? And the TV takes off from where the OVA left off, I think... Which makes me want to see it. Quote
EXO Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 ooops... missed that "this season" part.... Quote
Valkyrie Nut Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Don't have a fav opening for this season but my fav closing currently is from School Rumble Quote
Max Jenius Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I don't have a favorite this season, but there are some of my personal faves; MACROSS 7 - intro Naruto 1st outro Naruto 2nd intro Naruto 3rd outro GITS:SAC - verrrry first intro was cool... the cg intro sucked after the first couple eps Evangelion - intro Quote
Gunbuster Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Is there a website where I can find out all the names of the latest anime? Quote

Gunbuster Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Is there a website where I can find out all the names of the latest anime? you should try www.bestanime.com Thanks for the link akt_m and yes I tried Google, but there's too many sites that don't cover the new stuff only a couple of the titles here and there. I need it to be all on one site I found this: http://www.jascii.net/newanime/season.php which is exactly what I'm looking for, some pics and a little discription of the new shows. Quote
Agent ONE Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I said this season Meaning anime that came out this year... Yeah I saw that... Anime has seasons!!?? Or more to the point, there was anime made after the 80's!!??? Quote
Radd Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Out of this latest season I have not seen much, but the new Tetsujin 28 Go tv series stands foremost in my mind, both for the opening and ending. Quote
Commander McBride Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Initial D: Fourth Stage's opening is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Of course, it's due in large part to move's song, Dogfight, which is both incredibly badass sounding and manages to perfectly capture the very essence of touge racing. Quote
Raptor Posted November 30, 2004 Author Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) Doh, how could I forget Dogfight? It's my favorite Initial D song, which says a LOT seeing as how I have about 150 of them, listen to them constantly, and like them all. Initial D is my favorite anime (I want to buy an FC3S Turbo when I get back to the states... Although I wouldn't mind a Hachiroku, Sileighty, or Kouki S14...) McBride, you are now my official rival. I can not have someone who was born exactly 366 days after me already running touge in a nice car. (Where do you drive anyway?) Edited November 30, 2004 by Raptor Quote
Commander McBride Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) I run a couple of roads in the Angeles Crest and San Bernadino forests, not far outside of LA. Well, ran, haven't been up for a while, as the roads were closed for fire season,a dn my car's been busted since they reopened. It'll be awesome very soon, though, with the new brakes and suspension stuff that's currently going on. Now I just need some body mods, as I killed my bumper..... However, I'm retiring from touge soon. When it all comes down to it, it's really just a glorified form of street racing. Not saying I'll stop going up there, but I'm moving my competitive focus to road racing and Autocross. As for the cars you mentioned, I'd defenitely go for the FC. Even a mediocre Corolla GT-S will go for several thousand these days, and the S13s and 14s are getting overpriced as well. The FC, on the other hand, hasn't gained the popularity that the 240s and the AE86 have, so the prices are still fair. Edited November 30, 2004 by Commander McBride Quote

Not saying I'll stop going up there, but I'm moving my competitive focus to road racing and Autocross. Well, naturally. It's racing (even if you're not competing), on a street. Hence street racing. It's still cooler (although probably even more dangerous) than street drag-racing, since it takes real driving techniques. I wouldn't pay more than $3000 for an AE86 though... I'm hoping to find a Turbo II for $5000 or less. I'm also interested in SOLO I (Hillclimb!!!) and SOLO II. The FC would be convenient for that since there's no back seat that I'd have to sacrifice for a roll bar. Not to mention the good upgrade potential that a stock turbo car gives you. I'm still wondering about rotary reliability though... Quote
Hikaru Ichijou Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 No one's mentioned the Ending to Gankutsuo/Count of Monte Cristo! "You won't see me coming - when I strike!" Quote

JELEINEN Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 No one's mentioned the Ending to Gankutsuo/Count of Monte Cristo! "You won't see me coming - when I strike!" That one's pretty good. The ending to Pretty Cure is fun. The openings to both Bleach and Gantz are decent. Panda Z has to be my favorite of the most recent batch of shows. In fact, the whole soundtrack is awesome. Quote
Raptor Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Reliability really isn't an issue. Treat the car right and it'll run forever. Just gotta make sure the rotary runs well when you get the car. Yeah, but it's still confusing. Owners say they're reliable, but if you overheat them, there is a large chance you will need to rebuild. But that can be partially helped with upgraded cooling equipment (new intecooler, bigger radiator, heat wrap, radiator plate, front lip...etc...). The oil metering pump tends to go out, and it costs a lot of money to fix, although you can remove it and just add premix when you fill up, but that's still annoying. Some people think 7's are POS's all together (and they'd be right if they were referring to Mazda's electrical wiring, so I've heard), even people who have been in the car business for years... My dad has a friend looking for one in auctions, but he hasn't seen one for years and thinks they're POSes (he owned a Toyota dealer for decades). He laughed when my dad asked him to look for one. Supposedly most mechanics won't work on them either, although I've heard they're easy to work on (from the owners). Bah, I won't be able to get one for 7 more months anyway... doh. (wish I could just buy a Japanese one and put US bumpers and doors onto it to make it legal, but I doubt it would be that simple...) Edit: I meant to add this earlier, but I forgot. Rotary engine's other big enemy besides heat is detonation... a really bad detonation can sometimes kill the apex seals, which means it's rebuild time. Edited December 1, 2004 by Raptor Quote
grss1982 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) The first two intro songs for BLEACH sound very nice. Check out my sig to listen. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - "Invoke" by TM Revolution Hey Areaseven, is this the one from episode 40 to 50 of that series? Edited November 28, 2005 by grss1982 Quote
Aegis! Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Simple : Openings : 1.-Bleach 1st Op 2.-Eureka Seven 1st and 2nd Op 3.-Basilisk op 4.- Karas op 4.-Aquarion 2nd Op Endings: 1.-Eureka Seven 2nd ending 2.- Aquarion 1st Ending Quote
Radd Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Not really this season, but Gao Gai Gar Final and Grand Glorious Gathering are both appearing fansubbed on the net for the first time. They both have the same ending and similar openers, but the edge definitely goes to the Grand Glorious Gathering opener. I've always loved the GGG opening sequences. Quote
hevangel2 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I like Trinity Blood... it reminds me the feeling of Elfen Lied. Quote

Radd Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 The first Bleach opening is titled 'Asterisk' by Orange Road, if I understand the question. Quote
