My Anime Opening Rankings - Summer 2011

This Summer has been another decent season for OPs, but this time there weren't all that many stand outs. Like always, these rankings are based primarily on music, and not animation.

I included some game openings because it's been a strong few months for them. Some of them are actually from Autumn games, but the OPs are already out so whatever. While they are not ranked in the video, they are in order of my favorites from what I have seen.

Feel free to question me about my reasons for any rankings.

[LlamaOP2011]

@SouljaStickMan Yes it's from the opening. You probably saw the first opening.

[NYtassu]

12:21, isnt that Queen's Blade and not Gate?

[LlamaOP2011]

@NYtassu Nope. Queen's Gate includes some characters from Queen's Blade (and other series) though.

[PuellaMagiMystia]

I just noticed something: in the Queen's Gate song (by Yousei Teikoku), there's a girl with blue hair who swings a sword at something. Isn't that the same girl in Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou?

[LlamaOP2011]

@PuellaMagiMystia Yes, Queens Gate contains characters from various animes and games.

[iStrawberrychuu]
