I liked Moon Phase and it's cutesy opening (though I can understand not liking it), but I can't understand not liking Higurashi's opening at all, that one is just awesome IMO.

I can't think of too many OPs that I dislike, but I did really dislike the ED for the first season of Spice & Wolf (I liked the ED for the 2nd season by the same group though).

It's hard for me to think of too many OPs that I dislike largely because I watch many shows partly because of how much I like the OP (audio or video or both).

Took a listen to the opening song of spiral, well that is quite bad I really could feel the pain in my ears. It sounds like the ending of Kimi ni Todoke.

Well for my own experience the ugliest opening song I have seen was to Kure-nai, which is a pitty as the anime is briliant, the song itself gets dirtied by the images.

Honey and Clover's song kind of grates on me, and the images are freaky food dishes and is kind of awkward to watch.

I hated Eureka Seven's 3rd opening with a passion, which is a shame because I really liked 1 and 2, and the 4th one is one my favorite openings of all time.

I though the Dr, Slump Opening was mad corny but I enjoy watching it in private. Oh and the 4Kids OP for One Piece

Higurashi had an amazing opening - one of my favorites ever

The opening to Niea_7 is by far the most awful and earbleeding thing I've ever heard in my life. It seriously sounds like it's "sung" by an emphysemic chain smoker.

Methinks you wouldn't enjoy the end theme for Serial Experiments Lain, then.

I personally am not a big fan of Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed's OP. The more frantic the tempo of an ALI Project song, the less I can take the style.

I can't decide between Madlax and Higurashi. I hated Madlax because I hate that oversinging type of music and Higurashi's OP because it was just stupid.

On the opposite, I absolutely loved those two songs. To each their own I guess.

Moon Phase's OP was just weird.
Girl's High ED is full of bad singing.
And I feel a visceral hatred for Chobits's OP.

But yeah, just listened to Niea_7's song and it's just irritating. It definitely wins this contest.

Moving this to the music forum.

EDIT: Screw this. Nothing but a bunch of one-liner statements, anyway. Locked.
