"GO!!" by Flow still ranks supreme among all shounen jumps titles. I can't say I disagree. That songs gets you so pumped up and excited.

The lack of Saint Seiya's Pegasus Fantasy makes me question the quality of this list. I mean, how can you forget one of Shonen Jump's biggest series, one that rather successfully competed with Dragon Ball for several years before ending.

Somehow there's room for four Naruto themes on this list (five if you count the one from Boruto), but not for Pegasus Fantasy or Sekai ga Owaru Made wa. I know you can't please everyone, but come on.

Oh snap! They actually used current Yami Yugi art.
Really? Voice over Shuffle, Warriors, and Overlap (and To believe in something)? I like Voice, but come on now. Also, it's called Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The link goes to the 1998 Toei anime that they never acknowledge.
If you're going to choose a KB song from Naruto, how is it not Silhouette?
I can actually say that I'm proud of you. Pretty good list excluding some. |

Now I have Donten stuck in my head, which morphs into various other Gintama tunes as I listen.
 
I was looking for Haikyuu!!'s Fly on there, but oh well. |

This man knows what's up  This song got me into Saint Seiya. Sad to not see any representation, though.
But D.Gray-man TWICE?! Woah! I was surprised they even mentioned it being in the magazine, much less including a song. But TWO? Also noting a lack of 'We Are!' from One Piece, one of (IMO) the most infectious OPs ever. |

Overall, it's a very solid selection of themes (both OPs & EDs), but there are way too many instances of series being repeated. Bleach, City Hunter, Dr. Slump, Captain Tsubasa, Naruto (five times [including Boruto]!), Beelzebub, One Piece, Gintama, Food Wars, & Haikyu!! all saw multiple songs representing them, and those slots could have been used to represent other series, some of which are surprising to be missing in the first place. Seriously, no songs for Saint Seiya, Hareluya II BØY, Ring ni Kakero 1, Dokonjou Gaeru, Sakigake!! Otoko Juku, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Rokudenashi Blues (there were anime movies), Dragon Quest: Dai no Daiboken, Space Adventure Cobra, or even Kochikame (seriously, the longest-running manga in Jump gets nothing)?
I can take having only one City Hunter, Naruto, or One Piece theme (but, wow "We Are" gets shafted?), if it meant that other series could get included. |

I love that GO!! is the very first track. Nice that a World Trigger "opening"(because they rarely played at the start of the episodes) was included too.

I have "Ichirin no Hana" as my ringtone. Never watched bleach but that intro was awesome, and I'm surprised "haruka kanata" is so low.

Irrelevant to the topic at hand but I'm still holding out hope for a Pysren anime. On topic I might actually buy this

Nothing from Kimagure Orange Road? Or, as mentioned above, Sakigake Otokojuku? They should've limited it to one song per show, as nice as it was to have two things from City Hunter.
