My Anime Opening Rankings - Autumn 2011

I believe that this Autumn was the best season for openings this year, and even #17 on this list will make my top 50 of 2011. That being said, while there are plenty of great openings this season there were only a few brilliant ones.

I left out the openings for gdgd Fairies and Chibi Devi because they were absolutely terrible. They would be in rankings 46 and 47 respectively. I am aware that C3 is set to have a second opening, but that probably won't air for a month or so.

Like always, these rankings are based primarily on music, and not animation. Feel free to question me about my reasons for any rankings.

sux... where guilty crown op 2?

[LlamaOP2011]

@GravureBoobies It aired in 2012. Check out my Winter 2012 video to see it (on my new account LlamaOP2012)

[XxBulletProofxX27]

I'd wish you would put these into several videos and make all the openings full length. XD

[LlamaOP2011]

@XxBulletProofxX27 I would, but they would probably get removed within a few days.

[AnimeHeroZone]

where did u get all of those creditless openings

[LlamaOP2011]

@AnimeHeroZone None of the ones in this video are creditless.

[LlamaOP2012]

@1Lion4Hearts I had a seperate video for OVA OPs, but it was deleted.

[1Lion4Hearts]

Why include Persona 4 INTRO OP when that OP was just an intro to the first episode of the series? If thats in there, then you should include OVA OPs.

[konayukisadness]

asu e #18, harukaze #15 only good ones imo

[Mangara99]

I'm curious to know what the reaction of men is when watching this 11:02

Plain and simply GAY. The style looks identical to Junjou Romantica's, I bet this is from the same authoress...

[Mangara99]

There's an artist called Galileo Galilei? rolf...And i can't believe Maaya Sakamoto's still around, she's such a great singer and Tamayura Hitotose looks like a heartwarming and cute anime...

[Mangara99]

5:26 For one moment I thought, Oh, it's Ouran!!!...but it wasn't :( Please, don't plat with my feelings, I've been waiting for season 2 for some time now...TT

[RiisWolfy]

Things I like about the Naruto S. op10 (rank10 here) is that they got a funny yet awesome teamwork scene, fun dancing, awesome fighting scene, the fact it is clearly not being serious, and to top it off the new song for the op is named Newsong. that's rich lol xD
