Anime is the passion of otaku but without a soundtrack there is no quality experience. The truth is that the opening and ending sequences with their art and musical score can completely change the aesthetic experience of the story. And that's why I bring you some of the most touching introductions of recent years, check them out here and tell me if you agree.

Don't you think a well-balanced introduction makes a difference? Maybe an ending! For example, the second of Delicious in the dungeon and that of A condition called love They took over the internet. Also, I guarantee you sang the openings to your first anime even if you just said washu washu, because man, the feeling: THE FEELING. In short, it is quite an experience to be able to connect with songs with lyrics in another language that is further away from us than English.

So I think this is a more deserved top 10. Also, a bit updated, as although the opening of the dragon ball It will always be epic, well, the new ones also come with their own things and only the years will tell us if they will survive the community. Without further ado, I present them to you.

1. Blue Bird from Naruto Shippuden

Of course, you can't deny me, this is one of the most popular openings and for good reasons, from the voice to the emotional sequence of character introductions. Seeing Naruto fall is simply beautiful.

At that moment Sasuke and Naruto were still not even close to getting closer, and there were many problems with the jinchurikis, on the other hand, the ninja war, Jiraiya's death, among many other things were not even close, at that moment, The ninja spirit was sustained by longing and the path of reunion.

Yes, still young ninjas with an equally comforting openness. How the years fly by! And this is from the delivery of Shippuden. You can see the work they put into the shinobi saga.

Remember that Boruto is a continuation of Naruto and currently, the new part of the manga has started its serialization in Shuēisha. Let's see if the shinobi's sons can be as prolific as their father.

2. We Are! from One Piece

I'm not a fan of One pieceIn fact, I try to stay away from the more than a thousand chapters that currently make up the series and that also don't seem like they're going to stop any time soon. However, The opening special resonates in my head.

Yes, of course I can hum, and that at anime conventions, even the smallest ones, it sounds loud, and it definitely makes me nostalgic. If you say it doesn't, I think you're lying.

Also, the introductory sequence with the sea, the monsters and the waving of the flag is a narrative merit for shonen. It's simply one of the MOMENTS of One piece and a legacy for shonen history.

Fullmetal Alchemist It is one of the most intense shonen and not as extensive as the entire saga of episodes that we already know. It rose to the top of popularity for its impeccable story and character development.and even received a new adaptation.

And its inauguration was also a resounding success. I know that many say that Japanese music sounds like an opening and that, for example, the opening of Monterrey is the songs of Primavera Club. We otaku know that the staging of Japanese music is quite fruitful and

4. Haruka Kanuta from Naruto

And you, do you remember how you started your ninja journey? Oh, I listen to Asian Kung Fu Generation and of course I remember it like it was yesterday. Seeing Naruto smile for the first time is simply a canonical event.

5. Peace Sing from My Hero Academia

I am not a team My Hero Academia, but not even remotely, we know that Deku's story is quite strange with the influences of foreign heroes and then with the jump to the dark Midoriya, but the beginning of the hero's journey seemed more than promising and even more so with the delivery of Kenshi Yonezu —It is worth mentioning, yes, I am on team Yonezu—.

In the introduction we can see the heroes with confident poses while stretching, a real privilege!

6. Kaikai Kitan from Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen It's here to stay, it will be among the most important shonen; and the opening that introduces each of the sorcerers with a focus on Gojo and Yuji is a gem, in addition to the music having a very unique tone.

7. Gurenge from Kimetsu no Yaiba

Everything LiSA sings is wonderful and is destined to be a success, her voice is simply wonderful and together with Ufotable's animation she always strives for the best. The first opening of Kimetsu no Yaiba and that of Destination Zero They are truly something to cry over.

8. Chainsaw Man Kick Back

Chainsaw man and Yonezu arrive to radiate authenticity, the different opening and ending sequences of the first season were quite exemplary work, if I may say so. From the animation patterns that trace important films to the tones and different types of sounds. Denji is a gem of a dark shonen character!

9. Hey, Kids! from Noragami Aragoto

Noragami He just finished his manga in exemplary fashion, We hope to see your animation again with a spectacular opening like the one you received at the beginning and that stole our hearts, remember? I DO!

10. Dororo Fire

The remake of Dororo It was a delivery that we didn't know we needed to break our hearts into truly tiny pieces. And of course the opening of Asian Kung Fu Generation once again filled us with positive and melancholic vibes.
