Are there any crazy but intresting anime intro out there?

[James]

I'm looking for jaw dropping, somewhat crazy, anime intro videos for inspiration (preferably ones with a lot of attitude with aggressive art/music).

I don't watch a lot of anime, so I'm hoping some of some you guys could link me some.

Examples of what I'm looking for:

Sayonara Zesubou Sensei (Warning: please be over thirteen or not easily disturb to watch these. Contains suggestive images)

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening 2

Phoenix Wright's fans copy of Opening 2

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening 3

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening Final

[lordcloudx]

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan opening


but maybe you're lookin for somethin more like these:

[Adorya]

Tatami Galaxy intro and ep are stylish and might give some idea

[Morgan D]

Shikabane Hime (corpse princess) opening



and.... 11eyes opening

That thing.... the ultra cliché of weird openings.

[Auro-Cyanide]

Wow, the openings to Sayonara Zesubou Sensei really are... weird.

Umm, there is the trailer to flcl, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3b0A_KjihY
I remember it from way back, I remember liking the music. And the use of the comic panels was interesting. Anything to do with flcl is going to be weird though. I didn't understand what it was about after watching the trailer. I read the manga and still didn't get what it was about really. I guessed watching the anime wasn't going to help me any >_>...

Oh, and there is Paprika http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqg3Sw3s9Wg I liked the music for that too. Though I suppose you want stuff more based on still images than animation.

You could try taking whatever the Japanese are taking. There stuff is seriously falling in the realm of surrealism.

[James]

Wow, so many awesome videos! Thank you so much guys, you guys are the best. Please do keep linking more videos that you guys find in the future. I'm sure each and everyone of us are interested in seeing the clips you guys link.

I'm just in one of those down phase, where everything I create seem so predictable and dull so I scrap them.

I have a theory. If I watch unpredictable new things, I'll get motivated.
Everyone need to see something different everyday to spice up their life and make their day interesting.

I think that's why some of the most famous artiest/writer/musician in history are uh... special.
They see thing differently, so we are fascinated about what they produce.

You could try taking whatever the Japanese are taking. There stuff is seriously falling in the realm of surrealism.

Where can I order those stuff in bulks? Maybe if I drink what they drink I'll start pumping ideas out.

There aren't any in your country? Since there are a lot here too... I thought Pocari Sweat is all over the world.

[James]

Maybe in the Japanese convenience store's like Uwajimaya in the Northwest part of America, but Pocari Sweat will not sell well in USA because of the name.

Instead we have gatorade, and have 10-15 colors and artificial-flavors to them. Kind of sad how color-blinded we are to marketing.
That is why kids drink blue soap wash, realize it taste wrong, but continue drinking it thinking it's just blueberry flavored.

[LVUER]

Seriously?

We also have those Gatorade(s) here. But I still prefer Pocari Sweat... though if I have to choose, I'd rather have plain water. Cheap, taste good, and definitely good for your health ^_^

And I kinda miss the first Gatorade entered my country. The one that advertised by Michael Jordan (I actually like that Gatorade... and the commercial). "Sometimes I dream, I want be like Mike! Yeah, who doesn't?"

[nefferinthia]

Haha, when I saw the title of the thread I immediately thought of Sayoara Zetsubou-Sensei! I'm glad to find another fan~ I don't think I have much to contribute here but perhaps you'll like this? Even if you don't; Elfen Lied is a wonderful anime and just listening to this song again gives me chills. Check it out if you haven't already.

[Headache]

Every opening animated by SHAFT. They're FUNNY and weird. XD

[cloudyssky]

There was a video on Sankaku Complex a little while ago that someone made showing how almost every anime OP is the same. I think there are very few that stand out from the crowd. However, one of my favorites was always the OP for Baccano!.

[ludeshka]

I'm assumming videogame intros can count as anime too.
Sorry if I'm linking to overly known stuff. This are openings that I've always liked. ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7ZLA5FX_v0 Opening for Persona 3 (Prettyyyy)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In9FPHFg4jw Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. (Hey, this might be less well known that the p3 intro)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7_gvZY_wD4 And this is not really an intro but an amv. I still consider it absolutely worth looking at, though. ^^
