This right here. Still gave me chills, I think it's the music. Amazing full theme. "NO GUTS NO GLOOOOORY!"

Also it was fun in some countries (Like Latin Spanish, Valencian from Spain...) this was translated as Guardians of the Galaxy, and this mash-up works so well:

Lots of good ones in this thread. Here's one I haven't seen yet.

 

[Turbowaffles]

This one is underrated and ranks right up there with the other Spidey intros, IMO

 

[TRUE ORDER]

The X-Men animated series is one hell of a opening imho.

 

[AdiGrateles]

Season 2 of the Black Dynamite cartoon had an intro filled with 30 seconds of fluid, fast-paced action. Apparently, a big name anime studio was behind said intro, which was why it came out so smooth.

I really like the intro song from the Kidd Video intro.

damn! exactly what I came here to post. Did not think anyone else would remember this show... as usually nobody does. And I only remember it specifically because of the intro.

I loved that show when I was a kid.

Found this a few days ago:

"I was on this cartoon in the 80s called Kidd Video. This was our....erm....theme music.... "

This is it man. Used to get so hype when the new ep came on.

 

[Mega1X]

Nuff Said.

 

[nachum00]

bruh. WHAT the hell. how is this thread STILL missing so many 90s classics? okay, let's fix this a little

how about starting with some specially-commissioned 90s indie rock with The Adventures of Pete and Pete, the same show that introduced michael stipe and iggy pop to clueless kids everywhere-that-ran-nickelodeon? this one feels like a wonderful period piece

Well this thread is about cartoons but yes the entire soundtrack to The Adventures of Pete and Pete is legit amazing and I still regularly listen to it.

All the music was recorded by Mark Mulcahy of Miracle Legion. He created a fake band specifically for the show.

Also you forgot to mention that the Rocko's Modern Life theme is by The B-52's.

You saved the first page from being a disaster. I can't believe it took nearly 30 posts for this to be mentioned.

Edit: Not sure if it has been posted as there are some good ones here already. But I think this underrated series had a decent intro.


Also this, although I like it more for the theme than the visuals.

what no mega man intro era?



Shin Mazinger Z opening



Getter Robo Armageddon opening 2

Not quite as musical as the others, but just as iconic IMO. One of the GOAT cartoons to come out of the USA.



Also I'm partial to this

Holy shit that Ulysses Redux :D

Alright let's hope these haven't been posted before, only managed to check the first page for now:







Oh the last one just reminded me lol, years ago I made a cartoon intro megamix with FLstudio, maybe someone likes to play "guess the OP" with it :D Doesn't sound like it, but it took a lot of work.

edit put in a reserve for silverhawks, which already was posted multiple times lol

That would be Studio TRIGGER, or at the very least one of the major directors from there. They also did the awesome OK K.O.: Let's Be Heroes opening posted earlier in the thread.

Delving into the depths of obscurity for these ones.






While the original UK intro for Terrahawks is pretty decent...

...the Japanese titles definitely fall under "dopest".

This still gives me shivers. Outstanding.

Props to Samurai Jack and Swat Kats as well

Im not sure anime intro count but here's two of my favourites.
