Simple question, what is your favorite opening to a cartoon? Doesn't matter if you don't like the cartoon. Doesn't matter if it's a Anime or a Western Cartoon.

My favorite opening to a Animated Television show is the 6th opening to the Anime series Naruto Shippuden

Post your own below!

by a mile.

Honorable mention:

And for sheer craziness....

**Hordini**

The Gargoyles one is pretty good, and I also always liked the Ninja Turtles one, but if I had to pick just one X-Men gets my vote:

And if we want to go a bit more old school, the Thundar the Barbarian opening is pretty great:

This. A million times this. Gives me chills. Just amazing.

Fun fact: if I wake up stiff in the morning and have to stretch, I have to fight down the urge to shout "I live again!"

Every. damn. time.

Ppffftttttt

Im a fan of the classics;

**Hordini**

I'll admit that the Pokemon intro is pretty catchy, but I don't think it really qualifies as a classic.

**morpheuschild**

@ bromsy: good call on the gargoyles opening! one of the greatest cartoons of all time!

my own contributions would have to be this:

and this:

edit: when i was six or so, i rented the hell out of two videos they had at the local video place. they were just about the coolest thing i had ever seen, apart from maybe the road warrior...

this is a full episode, since i couldn't find just the intro...

Damn fine choice!

Here is one of mine, good ol' Exosquad.

Honorable mention to GI JOE, especially the cartoon movie opening which still makes me feel the same excitement now as I did when I was kid watching it.

Gotta catch'um all.

And every time we say those words, somewhere in the world someone just realized Ash Ketchum's name is a pun.

Exo Squad was pretty awesome.

Almost forgot

**Eldarain**

Many of my favourites have already been posted but I'll add this 80's gem:

**Jihadin**

and

**Krellnus**

C'mon now guys, we all know that the winner really is

**Fafnir**

Gargoyles and Batman TAS were already mentioned.

Cowboy Bebop's intro was all class, all the way.

Ergo Proxy's was fantastic as well.

**shingouki**

I can't believe no one has picked Thundercats 80's classic.

**Artorias the Abysswalker**

Anyone still read Asterix &Obelix, or Lucky Luke?

I love Asterix the Gaul! I only read the books though

**Orlanth**

I thought about the Battltech opening, because I am a Battletech fan and the series was fairly good to the genre (minus the mini mechs). I also thought about Cowboy Bebop as a 'cultured' opening. But really I have to go wirth the oldies. Wacky Races, Scooby Doo, both good but this one..... you cant beat:

**Ratius**

Button Moon by about a mile, even has the old Thames intro, probably only our uk/irl users remember it

Great thread by the way.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Well Gargoyles would be one of my top pics if not my top, but as its been, I throw up a couple of others I really liked.

this as well,

I liked this one as well

Wow Ulysses.....

I remember watching that around midnight on Fox Kids when I couldn't sleep. It was one fethed up show. xD

**Ratius**

The sheer feeling of isolation and helpless hope threaded through the show, scarred this young space enthusiast very badly!

**TheMeanDM**

FTW!

**Hordini**

Here are a couple other good ones that I always enjoyed:

Spoiler:

**SagesStone**

Always liked how this one was sort of like "look at how uneffective mechs can be". Back when Gundam tried to be more realistic.

This as well for all the hidden crap it has spread through it about the entire series. Cause time travel.

**sarpedons-right-hand**

Dakka, I am disappointed…..

Here's some proper cartoons!

**Rick_1138**

Ah M.A.S.K how do I love thee.

Obviously MASK but I also loved

Jayce and the wheeled warriors

and a little known A nime my auntie randomly had on VHS (StarVengers)

For sheer madness

**Ashiraya**

The Shingeki no Kyojin opening.

But I am biased, I love everything about SnK.
