And like I said, this is kind of a reflection of how I liked the song and sequence for each video. I did NOT like Inner Universe's sequence at all. I thought the CG sequence was too overdone. The animated version that I saw as the alternate (I don't think it was used in the American broadcast of the series) was a lot better to me, but I couldn't take it into consideration because I saw it after I made this list. I loved the sequence and song for Rise, but Inner Universe is more superior as a song to me if I had to choose between the two. CotS is decent for its sequence, but I agree with you on the song, it's orchestration is indeed beautiful. I probably would have included it on here if I had watched the series at that time. This list is now a year or so old with only some minor revisions. I thought about redoing it yet again, but that would take forever T_T Just goes to show you and I have different tastes, Kaj, hehehe. :) Thanks for the comments.

Inner Universe is the one that I really like... but you didn't pick that one... noooooo! :P ooops, just realised the Rise song is not the one I’m thinking of from GITS.

But luckily, Lilium, Rise, and the Baccano theme came soon afterwards, so I'm a happy bunny again :D I think you've pretty much covered all my favourites in your list (though some of them were ranking disappointingly low!) apart from... the Crest of the Stars opening theme. Most people thought it was a bit boring, but I thought it was a really epic orchestral piece.

After an extremely promising opening, I thought it descended into a generic (albeit quite catchy) jpop song. I just don't know why people rate it so highly. There's been more originaly openings such as Tank, and more catchy conventional jpop songs, like the FMP fufmlkasdfklff opening theme. Hmmm, yes the eva theme seem to be high on everyone’s list.

I can't believe that you picked Believe over Invoke to represent gundam. XD Believe is good, but I think Invoke is waaay better, specially since Believe kind of falls flat half way through after the energetic opening (that's similar to invoke, but not as good :P) I love the Nodame theme too. The chorus is so catchy! :D noooooo (again!) I can’t believe that you picked Believe over Invoke to represent gundam.

It'd probably be in my top 3, if I ever made a list like this. Admittedly, if I made a list, it'd probably only consist of the 10 or so opening theme that I actually like, but still, I'd be surprised if I hear more than 10 songs that I like better than it in the countdown ahead lol. noooo, lonely in gorgeous is only #75?

The anime itself was a big crap, but I thought this opening theme was superb, especially since they coupled it perfectly with the opening sequence. #92 is a bit low though, imo ;P I'm impressed you can find a top 100 opening theme - I've barely seen enough anime to compile a top 100 opening theme lol. ooo nice find with Men of Destiny from Gundam 0083.

Did you watch all the sequels too? This might be a bit nitpicking but… if there’s two anime ranked equally at #6, shouldn’t you skip #7 and have the anime after that rank at #8? :P

It was released by a major sub group, but they've since taken it down, and I deleted it after I watched it, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to find it as readily. Drop an email by my address at Rosepetalsw at gmail dot com (spelled out since I don't want to be bombarded by spam). I don't know if I can help you, but at the very least I can give you some orientation.

Also, have you found all of the ep's 8-12? I keep finding just parts of some of them. It would be much appreciated. What website did you use to watch ep 8? Also, have you found all of the ep’s 8-12?
