Thread: Anime Opening Video Timeline Project

Here is yet another classic. I bet most of you folks watched this show back in the days.

1990
Ranma 1/2 Spanish Intro

Following my last post: Top wo Nerae!! 2 -Die Buster (aka GunBuster 2) (2006)
YouTube - GunBuster 2 OP

...I had this song on MP3 for so long yet not knowing its anime origin til now. LOLs

Main Post updated to page 4... I haven't got the stamina to go through any more tonight. A few multiples weren't included, one date was changed, one opening was changed (to another season) and a few were swapped out for better quality/non-fansubbed versions... but no huge, revolutionary changes.

Saint Seiya: The Hades Chapter - Inferno Opening

There have been 30-something Hades OVAs... so I'm just going to throw them all under 2003 (the date of the first and change the opening to the 2003 one)

Not going to post second seasons unless there's a significant time gap between the two. (ie. the series went off the air and then began to re-air as a sequel or remake at a later date)

This has already been posted... and it's actually from 2004 (there was a 2nd series in 2005 and a 3rd in 2006).

And another franchise series that has never had a Region 1 licensed release, the true and legitimate sequel to the original Macross saga...

YouTube - Macross 7 - Seventh Moon (1st Opening):, the opening for 'Macross 7' TV from 1994. The opening sequence was one of the earliest works of a newly formed animation company known by the name of Studio GONZO

YouTube - Uchuu no Stellvia Opening
2003

Not the best video quality but it was the only one i could find.

Now here is another pre 'Golden Age' series that has never seen a US distribution...

YouTube - Cutey Honey - Opening 1973:, the original 'Cutey Honey' TV series from 1973

2004 - Elfen Lied
Opening theme: Lilium performed by Kumiko Noma. I recommend giving the full version of the song a listen too. It's frighteningly beautiful.
