Who cares about openings, I want content and not some squirrel-sounding grille breathing into the mic and a bunch of visuals to keep you visually distracted.
James Stewart

That was easy.
Jose Miller
Strong Bad is right once again
David Brown
>mediocre
debatable

If there's one thing DavidPro did well it was the openings
Landon Phillips
Nicholas Sullivan
even Tex Avery intro is far better than that autist shit
Camden Bell
Duck Tales
Benjamin Thomas
Samurai Jack
Eli Martin
See you in 3 days OP faggot.
Logan Sanders
Steven Universe.
Jacob Stewart
Actually wrong, since cartoons with no themesongs just have more ads nowadays.
Gavin Smith
Compete in what regard, OP?
>Animation Quality?
>Music choice?
>Ability to summarize what to expect from the show?
>Get the audience excited for what they're about to see?
Sebastian Martinez
Wickie and the strong Men (the old show)
Connor Hughes
Too easy.
John Rogers
Came in here to post this. DuckTales is like the epitome of great Western cartoon intros.
Henry Sullivan
Darkwing Duck
Teenage Mutan Ninja Turltes in the German Version
Joshua Perry
The West won were it actually counts
Joseph Brown
just the first thing that came up to my mind also
Brody Cooper
Comparing the intros of western animation to anime intros is nonsense. Both have entirely different objectives and serve different goals with different sets of priorities. When either is compared by the standards of the other it will fail because they both value opposing things.
Basically, you're a fucking idiot. This is comparing apples to potatoes. It might make sense to the French, but we're not talking about them.
Carter Jones
Star Vs would have an excellent opening if not for the awful lyrics. If it was just the music and visuals it would own.
Also, this blows pretty much every anime OP out of the water.

Star vs. has a better ED anyways.

Really, no one posted it yet?

I will often decide to watch a show solely because it has a fine opening
It sucks that they're massively shortened now in many cartoons to make room for more ads

How is he "of the 24th and 1/2 century" if he was frozen from an earlier century?

Ok, enjoy your good openings. We're just going to keep excelling at everything else like music, art and technology

>Or to introduce new watchers to the characters and concept of the show.
No, it's to give the latest idols a platform to sell their music on to otakus that have been well aware of the series when it was only a manga being sold in a throwaway magazine.
Benjamin Allen
>Great anime pieces grew from designs created in the West and adopted by Japanese artists
>Classical music drawn from western instruments and compositions and adopted by Japanese
>Assembly line theory and algorithms developed by American and European engineers and mathematicians later adopted by the Japanese and ramped up to 11.
Face it everything great in anime had a Western origin, then repackaged and sold back to you.
Easton Ramirez
Love this intro but come on, its not even particularly well animated.
Joseph Long

the lyrics are pretty catchy, and do good job of explaining the basic premise

Somewhat related, but why do anime OSTs are much more memorable than cartoon OSTs?

Yeah but they're ridiculously cringey and awful.

That's not even fair.

The Brave and the Bold theme always gets me hyped as fuck.

Venture Bros. truly is a rare beast.
Joseph Williams
Angel Rodriguez
also, can't forget this theme

brave and the bold was the fucking best.

Name 1 (one, uno, un, δΈ€) example of them doing it better.

I never see this show talked about around here (or maybe I'm not looking) but one of the things it had going for it was the intro. So, for your consideration, The Big Guy and Rusty:

Benjamin Wood
My favorite OPs are Clone High, Megas XLR, and the OG Powerpuff Girls. I think they excel the most at what western cartoon OPs tend to do (explain the premise of the show) and are pretty good music to boot.
Juan Jenkins
too late bud.
Nathan Reed
Samurai Jack
Static Shock
American Digimon OP
Power Rangers
Powerpuff Girls
Fairly Odd Parents
Luis Cooper
I fucking love the keyboard in the Star VS opening. I play piano myself, and I love the sound of that instrument, so it sticks out to me.
Ryder Nguyen
It's shit because i'm not watching an anime opening, i'm watching the opening of a DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi game.

Lucas Bell
are you sure?
Eli Rogers
Japan IS the west. That's why we say they "westernized" before the the world wars. This contrasts China which tried to hold onto its heritage.
Of course that would mean most of the world is "the West" now. Collared shirts ultimately won.
Jackson Hernandez
Jacob Sanders
Ironic because Bloody Stream works very well as an anime opening. It's well directed and grabs your attention. It foreshadows the entire plot in a way that you wouldn't notice it until you watched the anime/read the manga(or googled the spoilers). It's good because it hooks you in but you also have a reason to watch it more than once. Yes the same could be applied to all Jojo OPs but all of them are good, fuck you.
Easton Rogers
Justin Cooper
I agree with most of this, though i did catch on to Caesar's death pretty quickly.

Bro, shit on their culture all you like, but Japan is one of the most technologically convenient places I've ever been.
Dominic Wright
checked and its the truth.
Brayden Russell
The original opening was charming and comfy, the current one is way too manic and not nearly as good
