Some may omissions were baffling but it is a random you tube thing after all, but not all.

Here's the order I recorded them onto the SVHS tape:

You listed so many of my personal favorite. It can not be helped that the new generation does not watch alot of the older anime series. ~_~

They'll get to experience the same thing several years from now.

I dug up some of those I've Sound Openings. Besides the Higurashi OP I was kind of hoping that at least one of these be able to make the list:

AIR TV series OP:

Baldr Force OP:

...although to be honest I thought the Baldr Force EXE game OP had a much higher "cool" factor:

Bl_ck Lagoon OP:

Yeah...it seems that way doesn't it? Doesn't seem like I feel like rewatching many anime OPs the last several years. Or maybe I just need to be reminded more of the ones I liked from 2002 to 2007. By 2002 fansubs were coming in file form and it's easier for me to forget about those.

Yeah! Himiko-den who could forget that OP (Pure Snow):

...although the first time I seen Himiko-den was in file form (around Oct-Dec. 2002). I recall I was trying to watch all the gaming anime I could during that time.

They seemed to put a lot of effort into the OP/EDs during the 90s. They changed the type of music as well as the animation. A lot of Obari works shined then (Rayearth, Tekkamanblade, Brave series). Can't forget SLAMDUNK either...JPOP + Sano

But, I still prefer the 80s overall.

All time favorite:

Sound effects are great.

Best animation:

compare it to the 2nd OP, and you can tell the difference. Even the 2nd OP was good for its time.

Perhaps. Only just? I don't see the difficulty.

This Japanese fan-altered Higurashi 2nd Season Opening I seen today has me rolling:
