The best anime openings of the '90s.
Anime openings are a unique art form that serve to hype viewers and prepare them for the show. Animators can take many approaches to achieve this goal, but typically portray the series' characters, settings, main themes, or have fun portraying the characters in different scenarios. These themes might depict a tone that feels completely opposite to the content in the series, or that align perfectly with the aesthetic of what's to come.
9 Moonlight Densetsu – Sailor Moon The memorable first opening to the iconic magical girl anime Sailor Moon "Moonlight Densetsu" by DALI, has been used multiple times throughout the franchise's history. The song's lyrics focus on the romance developing between Usagi and Mamoru, while the opening's visuals cycle between focusing on Usagi, her fellow Sailor Scouts, Luna, and Tuxedo Mask as well as some of the series' iconic villains.
7 Just Communication – Mobile Suit Gundam Wing When a series has multiple successful iterations like Gundam, there are many opportunities for each iteration to stand out with their opening. Gundam Wing's first opening pairs visuals highlighting the show's main characters and their mechs in action, fading them in and out in conjunction with the beat of Two-Mix's "Just Communication".
5 Tank! – Cowboy Bebop Like many others, Cowboy Bebop is an anime that's iconic enough in its own right, and its anime opening is one of many reasons. The main opening theme is the jazzy "Tank" performed by Seatbelts and accompanies punchy and graphic visuals of the main characters often moving in tune with the music.
3 We Are! – One Piece One Piece's first opening when it aired in fall 1999 was called "We Are!" performed by Japanese singer Hiroshi Kitadani. Considering some of the themes in One Piece center on developing friendships and the adventure of the open sea, both the song and the opening's animation seem to hit the nail on the head.
