Eureka Seven had some great music all around but my favourite "pairing" was OP2 & ED2
Yeah Eureka nailed its OP and ED's, thanks for sharing! I kinda forgot how much I enjoyed the music here.
Azumanga Daioh!
Opening
Ending
Great choices. I did wanna highlight Azumanga for finding a really good tone/musical style to go with its constant stream of weird (lol I'm semi-sad that Kiyohiko Azuma apparently hated it?)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
and...
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
Yeah these were all quite good, you can tell they budgeted for it. RIP Origa, gone waaay too soon.
I usually think English covers of anime OPs/EDs are lame, and a certain few that get really popular somehow are cringy as hell so I wrote off the entire type.
But this is absolutely fantastic.
happy to help ♫
I'm using this as an excuse to post this amazing cover. Champloo is a fantastic choice for this
Awesome version, very good. Thanks for posting!!
Damn, y'all have posted the good shit already, so I'm gonna go with Ergo Proxy:
Outstanding OP both in song and video, love the style of it. It sets the esoteric, melancholy tone perfectly while still allowing for energy.
And it ends with a simple credits roll ED, but when you've got motherfucking Radiohead playing, you don't need much more:
I only heard Ergo Proxy's for the first time a couple of years ago and was totally blown away. For one, I do love the nostalgia I feel hearing that kinda early/mid 00's alternative rock. But it's a fabulous song (and again goes passed 1:30! So I presume the studio liked it too xD)
Old people time.
Sorcerer Hunters
Sorcerer Hunter was catchy as hell. I looooove the 90s club music ending and the opening with the guy and girl harmonizing is an underrated effect. ... I swear this series is why I mix up Megumi Hayashibara and Masami Okui, them girls were 90s queens for anime music. On that note...

Couple more from me
SLAYERS NEXT
Megumi Hayashibara absolutely, well, slayed for Slayers. They're all pretty good, NEXT probably being the popular choice.
BLEACH
I think Bleach started out really strong for a series that had a lot of winning themes. ASTERISK is impeccably stylish, fun, and cool, with a great beat. Life is like a Boat has Rie Fu has the singer work beautifully in two languages and the song flows really well (it's catchy and easy to sing).
