@issa-sa: Actually, I didn’t find the first episode of To-Love-Ru to be too bad…although that might just be the OP, Haruna, and the fact that I watched it back-to-back with Kanokon influencing me. I will admit that I did have to turn my head and cough a few times, though.

Also, I’ll have to pick up on Pani Poni Dash some day, I’m beginning to like a lot of Shaft’s works.

@Baka-Raptor: Hold on, let me take a picture of this as the only time I’ll ever win an argument. :P

@i-jin: Yeah, a.f.k. really outdid themselves there … which might be why they are currently busy taking forever outdoing themselves on Zoku SZS. XD The jokes were funny though, and easily accessible as well.

Bouken Desho Desho / Hare Hare Yukai were good while the show lasted, but I don’t find either of them to be songs I’d listen to for the long term, or watch either. I do smile every time someone parodies HHY though, although Motteke! and any SZS OP tend to be more popular now.

@TheBigN: Ah, that’s right. And yes, Sora no Yume / Kazahana / Katayoku no Icarus are much love. I don’t follow much in terms of singers themselves, though.

“Chihiro, in fact, gets two endings, with the same visuals, but two mixes on the same song, one more hopeful and slow-paced, and the other, more despairing yet melodic”

Both are actually from the same song, which is my favorite of any of the OP/EDs that ef had.

Even if I never watch H2O, the OP and EDs are going to remain part of my rotation of stuff I listen too. Especially the ED, since Haruka Shimotsuki is awesome. :3

i for one loved the sayonara zetsubou sensei OP that u linked – that was pure hilarity. i was more impressed with the fact that the fansubbers (a.f.k.) bothered to translate all the split-second jokes!

i guess the only non-changing OP/ED that i sat through was that of suzumiya haruhi’s – i never get tired of the hare hare yukai dance =)

Funny enough the OP of To-LoveRU (or however you spell it -_-”’) is one aspect I7ve forgotten about the first episode already (and I7m trying to forget the fact that I watched it *shakes head*) I do remember that one particular not so hidden credit written on her… well certain region (Now I really want to forget watching this show). I also liked how you could never tell which of the 3 OPs you would get in an episode of Pani Poni Dash (and which seiyuu’s version will it be too), but when it comes to SHAFT OPs, Zetsubou Sensei and the changed Euphoric Field in ef’s last episode win :P
