Anime is the passion of otaku, but without a soundtrack, there's no quality experience. The truth is that 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 let me know 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. Plus, 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's 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 well-deserved top 10. Also, a bit updated, as although the opening of Dragon Ball It will always be epic, well, the new ones also come with their own things, and only years will tell if they survive the community. Without further ado, I present them to you.

1. Blue Bird from Naruto Shippuden

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

At that moment Sasuke and Naruto were still nowhere near 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 nowhere near, 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 now, the new part of the manga has begun 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'm trying to stay away from the more than a thousand episodes that currently make up the series, which 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 no, I think you're lying.

Furthermore, 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's one of the most intense shonen and not as long as the entire saga of episodes 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 many say that Japanese music sounds like an opening, and that, for example, Monterrey's opening is the Primavera Club's songs. We otaku know that the staging of Japanese music is quite fruitful, and

4. Haruka Kanuta from Naruto

And you, do you remember how your ninja journey began? Oh, I listen to Asian Kung Fu Generation, and of course I remember it like it was yesterday. Seeing Naruto's 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's worth mentioning, yes, I'm on team Yonezu—.

In the intro 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 destined to be a success, her voice is simply wonderful and together with Ufotable's enthusiasm 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 various opening and ending sequences of the first season were quite exemplary work, if I may say so. From the animation patterns reminiscent of 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!
