Favorite Opening/Ending

What is your favorite opening and or ending music from and anime. My current favioret opening is from the 5th bleach opening. Yui rolling star. I like how they used it in the anime and I also like the full video version. As far as ending I really like the one from the 6th ending of Rurouni Kenshin Saim Shade's No junou na kanjou, but I love Inuyasha ending 5 Shinjitsu no uta's Do as infinity. It is the ehru in the beginning of that song that puts it over the top for me, and I like the video better. So what are your favorites?

As sad as it is, sometimes an anime's opening is the starting point for me to get interested in a series. If the opening catches my interest, I usually will go an rent it.

I will just name off a few.

I have several favorite music from Openings and Endings.

There is one Opening that has been one of my favorites since the late 90s and that's the Opening from
THE Hakkenden.

I absolutely love the OP

One of my favorite Endings is the 3rd Ending Heart of Sword from
Rurouni Kenshin and it's been also been since the late 90s one of my favorites.

There are more Opening and Endings that I love, especially since there are so many anime out. It's not easy to decide which one is a favorite. The ones above are the two that straight come to my head without having to think. lol

Well ok there are a few more that stand out right now and that's Bleach the 10th OP "ShÅ

My favorite opening would probably be the one from GitS SAC 2nd Gig. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2_9epHxhhA) Something's just really cool about it.

Blue Gender's opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmMVZObsUB8) and Gunsmith Cat's opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naMSbyMpcPs) are up there too.

If I can include an opening made by the 4Kids company I'd add the Cardcaptor's theme too...(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjapZAa9VVM) Instead of just using the original opening and animation they thought it was better to write a whole new song and record it. Then they slap together some scenes used in the anime and mixed it in with some of their very own 3D animation they made just for the opening. Which made people catching the opening probably think they were going to watch a Shonen type action series instead of a magical girl show. XD Just for the insane amount of needless effort on 4Kids part I feel it should get a nod.

I like a lot of Opening and Closing songs. But excluding some of the ones already mentioned these are the songs I most often listen to just for the heck of it. Most of them I find fun to lip sinc to also. I often listen to them on YT when I'm bored.
