We all know that A Cruel Angel's Thesis would most likely be the best anime OP of all time if someone tried to get a common consensus across all the anime connoisseurs out there.
However, with the ED it is not quite as clear cut. What do you think the best candidate for that would be?

Cowboy Bepop
Hare Hare Yukai, perphaps?
I mean, it's not my favorite, but it's one of the most popular ones
This probably
Or maybe Anohana
It's between "Real Folk Blues" and "Fly Me To The Moon" for me desu.
these were my first two choices
But come to think of it:
youtube.com
This is the same for me.
My vote is for Bakemonogatari's ED.
youtube.com
I wouldn't say MOST Iconic, but definitely up there, it would easily make top 5.
If netflix didnt fuck with the show I think the ED would be more clear cut as the casual western audience would know fly me to the moon as the ED instead of Rei's theme
Kekkai Sensen ED easily
youtube.com
the thing has like a brazillian parodies
My vote is for Card Captor Sakura's
youtube.com
or this
Bakemonogatari is the objectively right answer don't @ me.
>A Cruel Angel's Thesis
>Not We Are
Raspberry Heaven.
The Real Folk Blues or Ride On Shooting Star which are also the two best EDs along with Paranoid Android
Solid choice. Also, Toradora - Vanilla Salt
I was going to post this as well.
I'm in agreement with you. Maybe not number one, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I was thinking of a good ED.
I just don't like how many normies have flocked to the show.
If by iconic you mean well known, well liked and easily recognisable then Cowboy Bebop's "Tank" is the most likely answer for OPs. Personally I'd go with
>Asterisk (BLEACH)
>Howling (DARKER THAN BLACK: Kuro no Keiyakusha)
>Re-Sublimity (Kannazuki no Miko)
>Out of Control (Psycho-Pass)
>Raison d'etre (Claymore)
as the ones I remember best and love the most. EDs is tougher; most people know only meme ones like "STUDYxSTUDY" from Highschool DxD (though I admittedly like that one too). Since it's mostly subjective I choose to cast my vote for
>Roll the Dice (Thunderbolt Fantasy: Tōriken Yūki 2)
These are good picks but
this is the best pick
This thread feels very formal.
How about a strawpoll with the top ten or so EDs?
It would need a new thread though, wouldn't be very useful buried at the bottom of this one.
Pokemon is the most iconic OP, anyone who disagrees is wrong
...Fuck, you're right. You don't even need to watch anime to know it.
Well Bakemonogatari's is the best.
Kappa Mikey best OP
This
Based
As far as iconic goes, this
I mean yeah, as much as I want to argue for Evangelion, you're objectively right
the best ed's in anime are usually found in shitty unpopular anime so you'd have to dig around those for that
but in terms of popularity the most popular anime ed in both the west and japan would probably be eva's one too
I wouldn't call this anime shitty or obscure, but I always liked this ED and thought it deserved more attention
we are what?
You guys forgot this
youtube.com
It overshadowed the OP and becomes synonymous with the franchise
All top picks, but I'll go with Anohana
The JP version is also damn iconic
youtube.com
People really don't understand what iconic mean huh. As expected of Yas Forums.
>look this is my favourite ED of my favourite obscure generic anime 17869
youtube.com
OUTLAW STAR NIGGA
>obscure generic anime
Nigger the shows listed above are considered popular shows.
Iconic refers to songs that most people, even casuals, would know and would always bust out in karaoke no matter how shit the show is, and so far this thread hits most of them right in terms of ED
Evangelion's OP as a whole package (music and visuals) is probably the top, but music alone I would say the original Helsing contests it. it doesn't get much catchier than this
youtu.be
Only Haruhi, Eva, Sakura can be considered correct answers as most jap would be familiar with them. Add Doraemon into it.
Other EDs listed in this thread are only popular or """iconic""" among otaku and Yas Forums, which means nothing.
wowza
Kill Me Baby's ED, without a shred of doubt or hesitation.
youtube.com
based
ED is definitely Haruhi
either the Lain ED (very underrated, also - finding the full song is incredibly difficult) or the deto noto ED 1
youtube.com
youtube.com
It's Mezase Pokemon Master or Cha-La Head-Cha-La by far, not bebop not haruhi, eva is up there though, but certainly not all the other random shit in this thread
Bouken Desho Desho > Cruel Angel's Thesis
idk why it got overshadowed by Hare Hare Yukai so much, it's better imo
For ED sure Hare Hare Yukai is up there but i also love the remix of Fly me to the Moon Eva uses
In general they both have amazing music
Bouken Desho Desho - Cruel Angel's Thesis
Hare Hare Yukai - Fly me to the Moon
God Knows / Lost My Music - Komm Süsser Tod
Haruhi S1 has the best OP and ED imo but i don't dislike Super Driver or Tomare either
Also Lain and Madoka have amazing OP and ED too
>connoisseurs
It's connaisseur stupid american.
A connoisseur (French traditional (pre-1835) spelling of connaisseur, from Middle-French connoistre, then connaître meaning "to be acquainted with" or "to know somebody/something.")
By this rationale, this would be the most iconic OP: youtube.com
At least where I'm from, literally everyone my age knows this song, even those completely unfamiliar with anime
Cha la is an OP
Rent free babee!
That janky-ass piano and early 2000s husky vocals gets me everytime
While it's probably the most famous anime OP of all time, the best-selling anime OP (and indeed best selling anime song) ever is actually Mezase Pokemon Master. In addition, there are also probably other examples of iconic OPs at least in Japan, such as Butterfly, Sazae-san's OP, Totoro's theme song, and so on.
Banger, but not the most iconic
YYHakusho has the best endings, cope
Dbz or Red baron have the best intro
MOEAGARE
fuck off newfag
>Howling
mein negro
So Pokemon is confirmed most iconic OP, can we just post absolute bangers?
Do burgers consider the English Pokemon OP as the most iconic because it's the only good original intro they ever made or is there something else to it?
Not a burger, Australian, but that shit was everywhere here when the animated series first hit. It charted in the normal music charts as A FUCKING JAPANESE CHILDREN'S TV SHOW. Something like that could happen today pretty easily considering how much the internet has infiltrated life, but this was the early 90s. It was unprecedented
I really don't see why that's a big deal. Maybe it's just a different perspective from where I'm from (Italy) where there's probably dozens of similar cases as what you're describing.
>probably dozens of similar cases
Name fucking three Corona-chan.
Rose of Versailles, Pollon, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Tiger Mask, Dragon Ball, Captain Tsubasa, Attacker You!, Jeeg, Whatever Kiss Me Licia's original title is, Daitarn, Lupin, Harlock.
I can go on if you want.
>Corona-chan
Yeah uh about that
damn those lyrics are so bad
>literally lists Pokemon as an example of something that was just as big as Pokemon
Il Duce please.
Also, yeah, go on; none of those are even close, with the possible exception of Dragon Ball. You're telling me everyone recognises a picture of Tsubasa like they would Pikachu? Get the fuck out of here
>literally lists Pokemon as an example of something that was just as big as Pokemon
Yes, I listed the italian Pokémon intro as something that was as big in Italy as what you're describing the English Pokémon intro in Aussie land, I don't see the problem.
>
>You're telling me everyone recognises a picture of Tsubasa like they would Pikachu?
No, I'm saying the Tsubasa intro was everywhere both when the anime first came out and in the mainstream public later on, much like what you described Pokémon as.
There's parodies, remixes and tributes of it around even to this day.
You also don't seem to understand how popular some of those titles were if the only possible exception in your mind is Dragon Ball.
