Favorite series OP/ED

There's so many cases where this happens I can't even.. It's like the whole anime budget was directed torwards licensing the OP/ED song instead of financing the anime.

One of the most recent for me has been the OP song for Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio which was a meh anime but had an awesome OP (because nano<3).

Another example would be Little Busters' entire OST which is amazing but the anime fails on multiple levels. Then again the original is adapted from the VN.

So Ra No Wo To, Mirai Nikki, Mondaiji-Taichi and Naruto are also good examples of rememberable opening songs but not so great shows.

The list is vast~

For openings, my favorite would be the Kakumeiki Valvrave, for both seasons...then there is the Opening's for SOA..those are my top favorite..As for endings...i hardly watch them, i might do that from now on though..the only ending that comes to mind is the first season of K-On!...liked that one.

Sakurasou's first OP and ED songs were the absolute bomb and fit the series so amazingly well; They were the reason I looked up the anime (from playing Days of Dash on Osu!) and got me hooked immediately.

Yea. The Op for Tokyo Ravens... Watched til ep 4 thn got bored... But cuza the op imma give it another chance.

 

I had the same experience with BTOOM!. I found the series somewhat boring but the theme song kept drawing me in.

On the opposite side, I challenge anyone to watch the Anime series Macademi Wasshoi opening through the first five episodes. The series itself tolerable but man ass along with the most annoying theme song ever created turned me right off the show.

Now that i give it some tought, remembered that the thing that made me contiue watch Bakemonogatari when i was just starting it was the ED "Kimi no shiranai monogatari", now Monogatari is my favorite anime with my favorite ED.

It's also kind of funny that Monogatari not only has my favorite ED, it also has the OP that I find the most annoying OP of all times, Bakemonogatari's Hachikuji OP. Don't know the name and can't put video because I'm on my cellphone but man, I hate that OP.

 

 

EDIT: Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari 



Obnoxious OP

I'm not a huge fan of J-pop/rock so there are only a couple of OP that I really like.  As for my favorite, the one that popped into my mind immediately was Serial Experiments Lain.

Some others I enjoy are Trigun, Noir and Cowboy Bebop.

 

As for ending songs...  well it's kind of cheating since it's from a movie, but I love the song that plays at the end of Armitage III: Polymatrix.

All of Nano.RIPE OP and ED probably except their ED for Bakuman(I guess?).

Many would agree their success for Hataraku's ED,Jinrui's OP,Sankarea's OP and HanaIroha's OP.

btt,I like Air Gear OP.

No Non Non Biyori!?

But yes Nano.RIPE is great too.

 

I also sense a lack of Yanagi Nagi who made the ED for Bakemonogatari with supercell and also the OP for Oregairu and of course that amazing and most recent ED for Nagi no Asukara:
