Enter LArc-en-Ciel, a legendary Japanese rock band formed in 1991.
From Dragon Ball to GTO, here are the best anime openings of all time!
Beyblade X, the 15th season (yes, 15th!
And after LArc-en-Ciels three-year silence since 2021, this single dropped like a sonic boom.
That final scene where Jaxon removes his mask?
Its like Phantom of the Opera, but with spinning tops and more eyeliner.
One of the funniest things about this anime?
Some characters look suspiciously like they just walked off the set of Fairy Tail.
Thats because surprise!both were created by the same mangaka, Hiro Mashima.
So yes, thats basically Happy and Lucy in space.
Though many anime characters wear glasses, these are the most memorable.
But dont worry, the storys a whole new wild ride through the cosmos.
The opening Forever gives off major open-air concert vibeslike you’re about to throw glow sticks into the galaxy.
The very first anime series dates all the way back to 1979.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the 11th TV entry in the saga, airing in 2007.
It follows the high-tech robot drama of Celestial Being and their sleek Gundams trying to save the world.
But if you’re expecting just a mecha anime, surprise!
It’s packed with political philosophy and existential questions, too.
The opening, Daybreaks Bell, hits hardliterally and emotionally.
Yup, now you feel old and inspired.
Its like a musical time machine for longtime fans.
Plot twist: shes from the mysterious Milos Valley, and surprise!
Theres a whole rebellion brewing.
Naturally, the brothers get caught up in the chaos (because when dont they?).
The plot is a bit complicated and fantastical.
After a massive population explosion in the future, a DNA operator named Karin travels back in time.
The story starts when Karin and Junta cross paths.
Japan currently faces the complete opposite population issue!
Fans often compare Juntas appearance to Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!
and joke about his playboy past before he ever picked up a card.
The original one, not Brotherhood, sticks closer to the manga.
If youve finished it, this movie serves as its sequel.
Released as a single in 2005, the track is featured in the band’s Kiss album.
Oh, and The Conqueror of Shamballa was even voted the seventh-best anime movie of that year.
Guess Full Metal Alchemist just keeps winning!
It focuses on the aftermath of the Kyoto Arc with the infamous antagonist Shishio Makato.
This song marks the band’s first release after Sakura’s arrest.
The name itself is uplifting, offering a bit of hope for the future!
This song also appears in the Japan-exclusive Nintendo DS game Daigasso!
Talk about turning up the adrenaline!
1Drivers High (Great Teacher Onizuka)
The opening forGreat Teacher Onizukaages like fine winenever gets old.
Drivers High perfectly syncs with Onizukas chaotic morning routine, creating a legendary vibe.
The man literally walks out of a bathroom and somehow makes it look cool.
LArc-en-Ciel was one of Japans top rock bands during the show’s run, and it shows.
If every school had a teacher like Onizuka, bullying would probably be extinct.
Drivers High andGTOgo together like ramen and boiled eggsan iconic combo that just hits right.
These anime openings should come with a spoiler warning.
