So I decided to do an update for my own rankings of my favorite Openings and Endings since I haven't done that here for quite a long time
List is restricted to the following rules: -Rankings are only based on the openings from the TV series. If there is a full song available, it is not factoring the entire song in the ranking. Best or terrible parts could be omitted if it wasn't ever shown in the TV series -Openings that were used as endings aren't factored in the endings ranking if more of the episodes place the music as an opening (ie Dan Machi). Same applies vice versa -Limit to one opening and ending PER FRANCHISE, even if the endings/openings are better (ie Inuyasha and Monogatari series) than some rankings listed. This is to make the list more interesting and further branch out the options, be as that maybe unfair for the longer series or staff who participated in them. -Actual openings/endings that occurred in TV series is used and not a remix/soundtrack of music/whatever editing (think the same restrictions as reddit anime themes) -Only music enjoyment is looked at and not the visuals when it's ranking. With visuals, it's a different story, but I can't be arsed to go through the trouble of re-watching loops of openings/endings. If opening and ending includes dialogue from the anime, then that is factored as well in the ranking -Will only incorporate the anime series I have finished watching or currently watching. I don't watch youtube (or any other site) of videos of anime openings/endings from shows I haven't watched. -Cannot be from a dubbed opening/ending for the sake of keeping things consistent. Yes, that means no famous Pokemon Opening (and Dimension W ending).
The opening and ending numbers are from MAL. The Honorable mentions next to the numbered ranks are merely the second best op/ed (imo) of the franchise. This is not indicative of their rank if the more favorited songs weren't present. They could be ranked lower.
