TADA !! here's my list

What would be my list without Saiyuki's openings ~.~

1. Gensomaden Saiyuki I For real by Tokuyama Hidenori



For real was the first op i learnt by heart. It's probably one of the rare ops i couldn't allow myself to skip XD I just love how the characters are introduced, the music is dynamic and the lyrics are great. I never get tired of this even after all these years, which reminds me that I’ve been a fan since 2002-2003 !! o.o

2. Saiyuki Burial I Late Show by Garden



Unfortunately i couldn't find a video with English subs. Anyway, This song really fits this part of Saiyuki story.
When i first heard it, I thought that the singer has a "crying voice" as if he was in the same state of mind as the characters: sad, desperate but willing to move forward.

3. Saiyuki Gaiden I Sakura no Ki no Shita by KOKIA



And yes i'm a Saiyuki freak xD This op is a new obsession. It was the first time i listened to something from Kokia. I love her sweet voice, she sounds like a fairy (as if i heard a fairy signing before xD).
I actually don't like this op's animation verrryy much, well i like it but less than the others, seriously they could have worked better on it. Anyway i love this song, Sakura no Ki no Shita means Under the cherry tree and it holds a lot of meaning in the Gaiden part. A beautiful song for an amazing story T^T

4. Saiyuki Reload I Wild wild rock by Buzzlip



What i like about this op is the animation and even if i'm not a big fan of this kind of music i can't deny that it reflects how badass the characters are. I love it.

5. Paradise Kiss I Lonely in gorgeous by Tommy February6



First song i heard from Tommy February and i'm loving her lovely voice and the lyrics (sowy it's Spanish subs i couldn't find English ones ><) i don't know what else to say but watch Paradise kiss if you haven't yet ! xD

6. Trinity Blood I Dress by Buck-Tick



I love vampire stories so i definitely had to watch Trinity Blood and thanks to that i discovered Buck-Tick my favourite band ever till now. This song is amazing, i love Atsushi Sakurai's voice, it's bewitching *__*

7. Koutetsu Sangokushi I Nostalgia by Camino



I've started watching Koutetsu few years ago and for a reason i can't remember i didn't watch it till the end. The op is really nice, i like the rythm, the music and the singer's strong voice.

8. B'tX I Haruka-Sailing for my dream by Fence of defence



I used to be a very big fan of B'tX (i fell for most of the characters ahaha xD) The op is awesome, i never miss a chance to sing along, whenever i hear it i feel like i too have to go sailing for my dream and that i'll make it through tomorrow xD

9. Deadman Wonderland I One Reason by Fade



This is definitely the best op of this year. It's so catchy and full of energy and totally fits the anime.
Also, the animation for it is great, i love how the red colour was used and how the atmosphere seems insane. This will be my favourite for years !!

10. NightWalker I Gessekai by Buck-Tick



And another op by Buck-Tick ! I've actually decided to watch Nightwalker only because they did its opening xD
Gessekai is slow, beautiful and sounds like a lullaby. It makes me want to lay down somewhere and watch the moon till i fall asleep ~.~

11. Shinrei Tantei Yakumo I Key by Ono Daisuke



I LOVE this op mostly because it's Ono Daisuke who sings it haha *fangirl*. Honestly, i think it's a really great song, It's addicting !!! The music is great, the melody...everything !! I've decided to put the full version because it's way better *sings*

12. Silent Mobius I Kindan no Pansee by Saori Ishizuki



I remember watching this anime when i was very young and every time i was soo excited whenever i heard this op, it's catchy i love it !!! plus i always thought that these girls (AMP members) were just awesome, they were my heroes XD

13. Yami no Matsui î Eden by To Destination



At first, i really didn't like this song but then i changed my mind, i really like the atmosphere it creates and the way it's sung.

14. Evangelion I Zankoku na Tenshi no These by Yosko Takahashi



Not having this one in my list would be a crime ! It was one of the first op in Japanese i heard and i still love it. It's one of those songs that never gets old.

15. Hakuōki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~ I Izayoi Namida by Yoshioka Aika



Lovely song ! And god this op is torturing me showing all these bishis >O<

16. Loveless I Tsuki no Curse by Okina Reika



loved it since the first time. Yuki Kajiura composed the lyrics and the music so it had to be awesome.
I couldn't find a better version where you could see the lyrics though >< oh well

17. Xxxholic I 19sai by Suga Shikao



I love Suga Shikao, he's an awsome singer !!! 19Sai is very catchy and sounds mysterious (fits Yuuko !) Ah i remember singing it when i was 19, it makes me feel a bit old now haha xD

18. Xxxholic Rou I Adayume by Suga Shikao



Another one of Suga Shikao. Ah this kind of song puts me in a good mood ~.~

19. Durarara I Uragiri no yuuyake by Theatre Brook



First time i heard it , i thought it's so cool. It makes want to ride a motorbike and chase the sun XD

20. Durarara I Complication by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D



This is the second op of Durarara and it's probably my favourite between the 2. It's full of energy, i love the chorus, it gives me the same feeling as B'tX's op. Also, it fits the anime which is GREAT btw.

21. Kuroshitsuji 2 I Shiver by The Gazette



Watching this opening again made me remember how much of a fangirl i was (still am xD). I'm not into the Gazette but i have to admit that this song is really nice.

22. Escaflowne I Yakusoku nado iranai by Maaya Sakamoto



Escaflowne made me dream for years and still does. I love this opening, such a pretty love song, i actually love all the music for this anime, it's just beautiful and full of feelings. Escaflowne was actually the anime which got me into becoming a big anime/mangas fan and also made me knew Maaya Sakamoto and got me interested in J-music in general.

23. Darker than Black I Tsukiakari no Michishirube by Stereophony



I like all of Darker than Black's openings but i have a preference for this one for some reason, it got stuck in my head

Whaa i 've just spent the whole afternoon doing this list XD
I'll probably add other ops when i remember them so till then i hope you enjoy this list ! ^^
