legotrainfan Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Hello guys, I'd like to know which opening sequences you like best. Here are some of my favourites: The Legend of Prince Valiant: Angela's Eyes: Smallville: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iHU4JKNULM&feature=related Roswell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBc95YDB6io By the way, this topic is just about the opening sequence. I'm not asking about your favourite TV series. That would be a different question. Quote
Rufus Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 This should be in Culture & Multimedia. I'll move it there. Quote
Oky Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Interesting question. Well, I love the opening sequences of pretty much every single Disney cartoon series there has ever been. From Ducktales, TaleSpin, and Rescue Rangers to Kim Possible and Phineas & Ferb, they're all great. Other cartoons that have great intros are The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and The Spectacular Spider Man... which are technically Disney too. I also like the intro of Desperate Housewives. Not that I watch that show. Quote
Fallenangel Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Whoopee, another list thread! Ah, too many to list... Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: As for other mahou shoujo, the opening sequences for Kaitou Saint Tail, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's were also nicely done... And now for something completely different... Kido Senshi Gundam, 8th MS Team: As for shonen and seinen manga in general, throw in (in no particular order) Gundam Wing (the old stuff ends here), Kanon, AIR, CLANNAD, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, CLANNAD After Story... Huh? Western shows? Um, Scrubs was pretty good... Quote
sok117 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Avengers Earths mightiest heros, really nice song and as a young kid I remember dancing to "I Ran" cover by bowling for soup as the intro to the western version of Knights of the Zodiac. Quote

Mr Man Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 The opening theme and sequence from Star Trek DS9 Quote
kaitain Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 My favourite at the moment is the opening from HBOs "Game of Thrones", followed closely by The Pacific. Game of Thrones title sequence The Pacific But the original Battlestar Galactica is high on the list. Kaitain Quote
CF Mitch Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Here are some of my favorites: I also wanted to put in the Buffy theme, but none of the videos I can find on Youtube have the original clips, so I'll just post a link with the song, and then a 'bonus' containing clips of the Buffy intros, but with the NCIS music Hope you'll like it Quote
legotrainfan Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Quite interesting, your intros! I forgot one: Star Trek Enterprise: Quote
CF Mitch Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Ah yes, you reminded me of one I forgot as well. Thanks I really love the music in that one. In fact, the music is my main attraction to all of them Regards, Mitch Quote
Mr Man Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Best theme is ST Voyager (the music is the only good thing about that series ). Quote
Marckeyh Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Most of favorites are from old 80's cartoon series: Thundercats: M.A.S.K The real Ghostbusters Edit: thumbs up to BasOne for the BSG intro :) Edited May 28, 2011 by Marckeyh Quote

The Legonater Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Best theme is ST Voyager (the music is the only good thing about that series ). I agree about Voyager having the best theme. Disagree completely about the series. But that's an argument for another day :P My Personal Favorite has always been The A-Team Quote
Oky Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Oh, I totally forgot one: Pinky and the Brain!! Who would've guessed! Yes, that was a pretty good intro, but personally, I like the Batman Beyond one better. Quote
simonjedi Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Oh, I totally forgot one: Pinky and the Brain!! NARF!! I've always been a fan of the opening for the first 2 series of RED DWARF The shot of Lister painting the ship and then zooming out to the ship is fantastic for a late 80s BBC sitcom. The Flybys of the Lovely Red Dwarf model to a psudo epic 2001 style theme is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00powkXPhDg AAAAnd of course the closing titles just for completion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZFLKXINNns Quote
Dino_Bot Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Who would've guessed! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) I am an idiot. I practically live and breathe Batman. But when it comes to like...more pop type musical arrangements...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkr7qW03BlU So to name my top f10 cartoon/show intros of all time: Carmen Sandiego Alvin and the Chipmunks season 1 BTAS (not BB or TNBA or TAOB&R) JL (First Season...it was ... Glorious) Trasnformers Season 4 Smallville. Any season. Family guy. It's gonna stick forever. Simpsons. By Danny Eflman again. Gonna stick forever. The Batman. First season and season 2. Probably the best thing about The Batman. Then it became stupid. And. I can't think of a 10th one. Do movie intros count? Titanic. YYes. I am weak willed. Sorry. But that intro makes me cry every time. Oh, and the Intro to Batman Returns. OMFG. It's...a total killer. I also like the intro to Gargoyles despite the fact I didn't care about the show. The intro to Armageddon makes me cry still because the KT extinction event makes me cry every time. I love my fossils. to death. Intro to Phantom of the Opera. Play, movie, etc. Amazing. Title Intro to Jurassic Park. So powerful. Quick...mysterious. Forget about the 'incident' with the guy getting sucked into a Raptor pen. Eergh. No. The whole Overture to Kingdom Hearts II. I was playing for a while, and suddenly I found Sora and...I didn't expect that at all. It was a good intro. Men in Black. Such a good opening. Quote
Corvus Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Some great choices here. Mine are- Firefly theme Big Bang Theory Quote
Capt. Bluebeard Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Simply one of the best anime intros ever: The definitive jazz number. Bluebeard, out- Edited June 26, 2011 by Capt. Bluebeard Quote
