I actually used to really like the Dark Angel theme. It perfectly suited the show, all jangly and urban sounding. And they made the pictures tie in with sound-effects!

Rules be damned, I'm nominating Cowboy Bebop's opening. It's so much cooler than..... 95% everything else. And anyone that wishes to disagree can say so........ and then die. Die in a horrible fashion. I... just haven't figured out how! Darn.
And then there's Inu Yasha's, before CN did away with it.
And Yu Yu Hakusho had a pretty sweet opening, especially the theme. Simply awesome theme song.
And..... what may be BETTER than Bebop...... Hellsing. That opening is...... offbeat.
And The Equalizer deserves a mention, too!
And Love Hina. LOVE that one.
Great Teacher Onizuka is real good too.
Hrm..... I sense a pattern to my rantings. Perhaps it's saying..... that anime openings are superior? I think SO. No offence to anything else, though. Except for CSI. I have no problems with The Who, but I have heard that song ONE TIME TOO MANY.

I have one more to nominate:
V the series and miniseries. I can never get that music out of my head from the beginning or closing credits.

Pussy-ass? No. Not at all. It's just got a lot of female characters, is all. And yes, it's basically a romantic comedy thing, but it's funny as hell.
And I haven't seen Gundam Wing's opening. I haven't seen to much of anything Gundam, really.

Earth: Final Conflict, season 1, without narration. Every narration for E:FC is pretty bad, season 5 was just awful. Other nominations: seaQuest 2032, Earth 2 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Okay, you all must know by now that I'm obsessed about 24, so I say it has the best missing credit sequence. It's a cool idea that in every episode we get a different, a little bit tweaked version from the patriotic main theme. Sometimes it's played with full power (with a lot of brass) and sometimes only with strings and soft beat. That kinda gives the mood for each episode. (I must get some help for this... I know. But I don't care!
)
Some other favourites...
Sledge Hammer (Because of the wacky theme of Danny Elfman, you've got to love it. Otherwise it's too amateurish.)
West Wing (Wonderful, altough the music is a bit too americana and patriotic but hell, I like it.)
Dark Skies (I don't exactly remeber the series or the sequence but I had a good time watching the show. I might be wrong though...)
Streethawk (Series was more or less crap but the theme is composed by Tangerine Dream and within TD mostly by Christopher Franke.)
Millenium (You can't beat this! Mark Snow's greatest theme so far. It's full of emotion and feeling. Plus the images with very well to it. I suppose 2nd season's sequence was the best.)

Marko Marin
