The Neon Genesis Evangelion opening is probably one of the most famous tunes in all Japan. The singer earns a living just from licensing fees from karaoke places.

Yes, Evangelion is a very old show, it was originally animated in 1995 and it has gorgeous animation for it's time. One of the most revolutionary animes. Brought a lot of traffic to anime and manga.

Fun fact, Cruel Angel's Thesis (Evangelion's opening) is considered by the nation of Japan to be one of it's national treasures. The singer who sang it to was a full grown woman at the time, but asked to adopt a more youthful voice when singing this and really struggled to do so given how fast paced the song is.

Those screaming lines in Vinland Saga OP was exactly what the MC felt throughout the show. Those last words was full blown intense.

Video: *goes absolutely insane, blood everywhere Tony: "also the rhythm progression is very nice here... rewinding back 10s..."

I love how you listen to our requests. And now i can't watch others react because i want the ✨analysis✨

the hunter x hunter opening is so good they pretty much never changed it, they had it throughout the shows couple hundred episode run in various forms

From how happy HunterxHunter's theme is you'd never think it tackles some of the most dark and realist emotional storylines ever put to anime. i will never be able to forget the chimera ant arc, it doesn't even feel like anime it's so different.

He liked HunterXHunter opening immediately! it's an absolute modern classic i'm glad you enjoyed it, also you should definitely watch it it's a masterpiece!

The vocalist's name in the HxH OP is Ono Masatoshi, he's in a power metal band called Galneryus, they also did one of the endings to HxH and it's amazing also.

There's just something about the way Evangelion's opening hits, it's impossible not to groove to it every time. Just amazingly catchy and timeless

I would highly recommend "Hunting For Your Dream" by Galneryus. Same vocalist for the opening of Hunter x Hunter

As someone who doesn't watch anime but is huge into Japanese music it's really weird not to have the bands mentioned in the description, and seeing so few people talking about them in the comments_so, just in case someone is interested and finds this comment: the Code Geass opening was [band - song title] FLOW - Colours Fire Force were Mrs. Green Apple - Inferno The Vinland openings were: Survive said the Prophet - Mukanjyo Man With a Mission - Dark Crow Neon Genesis Evangelion Yoko Takahashi - Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis Hunter x Hunter was Ono Masatoshi - departure the Rainbow opening was coldrain - We're not alone Anime tracks are usually written by well known bands and solo artists. It's a two way promotion thing - at the beginning the bands promote the [new] anime and once it gets popular the anime promotes the bands.

To the guy who selected the Rainbow op. You have really great anime taste

The vinland saga opening is so good haha it gets you so pumped for each episode

Rainbow is one of my favorite animes EVER and no one ever reacts to it, so seeing this made me very happy.

Absolutely looking forward to this especially because you know how to go deep in the sense of analyzing music

“We’re gonna go back 5, 10, 15, 20, 25” 😂

Neon Genesis Evangelion is from 1995 and considered one of the most revolutionary anime of all time. I assume you'd have a field day with the whole soundtrack. Composer Shiro Sagisu, Singer Yoko Takahashi and Voice Actress Megumi Hayashibara did some of the greatest musical work in all of anime on this show.
