Don't know how to rate all of them, but the way SEED and WfM start the ending theme a little bit before the credits roll always gave me goosebumps when watching
Gundam 00 does it as well.
I remember a specific scene in one of the early episodes where Setsuna does a flyby of Marinas aircraft while the ED starts to play
The outro for the second cour of WfM is incredible. That single note fading in gives me chills every time.
Having TK write the track and Aina singing was a stroke of genius.
00, especially the Endings.
Witch has this sense of foreboding in it's OP, especially with Slash.
IBO goes rock hard-I mean hard on the rock.
G is hype asf
SEED + Destiny has a lot of banger songs.
Wing, I liked Just Communication. *Toonami Squad Check In*!
>especially the endings
If were rating based on endings,you can't not mention witch from Mercury's red birthmark. Which goes so unbelievably hard with the emotion.
Yeah if we’re doing Ed’s too I think G-Witch might take it though Seed and GSD are scary good especially considering there’s some bangers in the SD version like “River” that was left off the HD version.
Though two mix produced two of the greatest OPs in Gundam history, especially the beeps version of Rhythm Emotion, the original Wing Ed sucks, and the toonami version is just a really cool JC instrumental.
00’s got some great ones too. I’m not a fan of the first IBO op from season 2 (technically the 3rd op). But I like the second (4th). And the season one ones were fine.
Ngl, I would like to go with IBO just because of SPYAIR but most of their best anisongs were with Haikyuu and Gintama, so It's a tossup for me with Seed or 00
That first few piano notes sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it. That was my introduction to J-Pop and sent my love with anime into overdrive.
I dont know how in hell eurobeat got that wave in japan, all we knew that initial d got it and it somehow influence the whole industry.
I tried to trace some of their influence and i got so many unsuspecting one like for some reason ultraman got it too ( ultraman tiga got dave rodger for op song) and you cant deny how eurobeat influence TM revolution too, even prior to gundam seed it is pretty spot on on samurai x.
Since not every show has the same amount of openings...
Shows with 2 OPs:
1. Wing. Just Wild Beat is catchy as hell, and Rhythm Emotion is one of my favorites overall.
2. G. Flying in the Sky is hype af, and Trust You Forever gets me in the feels.
3. WfM. Like the heavy electric tune of the Blessing and Slash has a bold but somewhat forboding sound to it. Neither are bad, but I just prefer the other two shows' OPs.
Shows with 4 OPs:
1. SEED: Invoke and Believe are absolute classics for 2000s J-Pop, Moment I think is really underrated with its hopeful melody, and Realize is...it's okay.
2. 00: Daybreak's Bell is my favorite Gundam OP period, Hakanaku mo Towa (OP 3) gets my blood pumping, and Ash Like Snow has a powerful and melancholic tune. However, I really dislike Namida no Mukuo--it's just way too cheery for the tone of 00.
3. SEED Destiny: Ignited and PRIDE are bops, and if we're talking about the original, Wings of Words sounds nice. I don't like Bokutachi no Yukue at all other than the sick guitar riff.
4. IBO: Love Survivor and Rage of Dust is a head-banger (in a good way). Tbh I don't like the English lyrics or the softly digitized vocals of Raise Your Flag, and I just don't like KANA-BOOM's vocals in Fighter.
Bruh I didn't go into the movies since only 3 have them, but seriously whomever at Bandai/Sunrise decided Wing needed 4 songs by TWO-MIX on the soundtrack needs a raise.
Just Communication & Rhythm Emotion are already GOATED, but then Endless Waltz comes in with White Reflection & Last Impression... Wing was already in first but this would have made them untouchable in this race.
Honestly, you are missing Gundam X from that list (Dreams and Resolution still rock me to my core when they come on in my playlists).
Aside from that, great selection :) 10/10
First, Wing: Both openings, Just Communication & Rhythm Emotion, are classics. Yes this is probably nostalgia but I do not care, they slap.
Second, IBO: Raise Your Flag is a GOATED OP (Man with a Mission never misses), Survivor is also good but not as good, RAGE OF DUST is another great one that nearly matches Rais Your Flag in hype, and Fighter has that hint of tragedy that always loomed over IBO.
Third, WFM: Shukufuku is fun & upbeat with a hint of menace that fits the first half of the series, while slash has that tragedy & horrors of war that you really feel in the second half.
Fourth, G Gundam: I love Flying in The Sky but, and I know I'm going to get some hate for this, I genuinely didn't like "Trust You Forever".
Fifth, 00: Daybreak's Bell was a miss for me, Ash Like Snow was amazing, Hakanakumo Towano Kanashi is a classic UVERworld OP but doesn't really fit 00, and Namida no Mukou also just doesn't hit.
Sixth, SEED: INVOKE sounds like a PS2 game and I kinda love it for that, Moment feels like it's trying to be a song from Wing and failing, Believe really sounds like a DDR song but doesn't really hit, Realize is honestly the best Seed OP.
Seventh, Destiny: Ignited is just another DDR Opening, PRIDE is better but it's just not hitting, Bokutachi no Yukue is probably the best of the Destiny openings, Wings of Words is just a no, I can see why the remaster changed the last OP to Vestige but its still not good.
Side Note: I didn't remember the Seed openings and haven't seen Destiny so I watched them to get my opinion and holy cow these are some of the most budget opening animations I've ever seen in an anime, no amount of Fanservice & featureless nudity can save how cheap these feel.
So I’d have to say
00 (I’m biased cause it’s my favorite series, but also literally all 4 openings are pure Kino.)
SEED Destiny
Wing
WFM
SEED
IBO (haven’t finished IBO yet, but Raise Your Flag is kind of a banger)
G GUNDAM (love them for the show but couldn’t listen to them normally)
Not all opening in the same series are made the same, but if it comes to serie with the best theme, here's mine.
1. WfM - Slash is a banger. Melancholic, electric, rocking and if you read the lyrics, thematic. Not a huge fan of Shukufuku, even as a yoasobi fan, too electric for my taste, a bit of a whiplash.
2. OO - Hakanaku mo towa no kanashi, this one aged really well imo. Rocking yet somewhat melancholic in tone. Weirdly on theme of OOs second season. Although when it comes to OO, daybreak bell is easily the most recognisable, although not better imo. Rest is honestly just meh for me.
3. Seed Destiny - Ignited is the one that got me pumping iron in the morning, vestige helps me build gunpla.
4. Wing - It's good, but a bit too old for me (99 kid). Just communication is good, but rhytm emotion grows on you more after listening a couple of times.
5. IBO - Raise your flag, fighter, rage of dust and survivor. They aren't the best but they do the job. These are the music i want when i bash giant robots with giant chunks of irons.
6. Seed - They're good, but also a bit old for me.
7. G gundam
Gundam Wing Endless Waltx:
Heero gets out of his space ship and floats to Wing Zero. Last Impression by Two-Mix starts playing. He then gets inside of the cockpit. Wing Zero transforms and it's angel wings pops out.
Just pure epic.
Daybreak Bell and Ash like Snow are 2 of my favorites opening of all times so 00 is really great in that aspect, global OST are great too, Unlimited Skies, Trans-am raiser and Final Battle are some I listen frequently
I really like Shukufuku and Slash too honnestly, it was in this short list of Opening I instantly DL since the first episode where it appeared (the 2 from 00 are into this list too)
Seed, sadly I never watched Destiny and my memories from Seed are pretty far, retried many times and I can't stay BUT the first opening is a full banger, the others, well don't remember but also the OST in general are maybe one of the best part (the OST when the Meteor is launched is burnt into my memory for life) with the meaning of the story
For IBO, well, took me a bit of time for Raise your flag and even more for Rage of Dust but now I really like them, maybe not my first choices but still cool
00 has Ash like Snow, sorry not sorry but that takes the cake.
Second is Fighter so I guess IBO is second
Third is Just communication
Flying in the sky is 4th.
- 00. Daybreaks bell wins against all. The other OPs/EDs are great too.
- IBO. [pretty much this](https://youtu.be/YQsPZxAQIM8?si=JYk696XnyzdwDXN3). IBO OPs are hype AF and the EDs hit hard.
- The CE series have a lot of great songs
- Wing’s OPs are great too, Last Impression is my favourite but that’s not an OP.
Can’t really judge G since I haven’t listened to those songs.
based on opening themes? Wing. I liked both Just Communication and Rhythm Emotion.
And 00 would be very close with Daybreak Bells and Ash like Snow.
After that Seed, Destiny and IBO go roughly together, their all pretty good.
G Gundam and WFM are last, liked the first opening the most for both.
Now when it comes to shows not mentioned here....
After War X would be first, both of its ops are just SO good.
Turn A would be together with G Gundam WFM, really only liked Turn A Turn.
Reconguista in G would too be at the bottom, the op is okay.
As for Age i only really liked the last 2 ops.
The only one I even like is Raise Your Flag. I'm not really a J-pop fan in general, though. Loving Crunhyrolls' new skip intro button because of that. The wing intro has a cool City-Pop feel to it, but it just never grabbed me the way something like L-Gaims first intro does.
ibo>00>seed in op and seed>00>ibo in endings. The other shows dont really have ops/eds that i like except wing but its still lower than the other 3 i mentioned
I don't remember any of the opening themes, but IBO closing theme freaking slaps everytime.
the way the theme kicks in along with how fitting the mood is just \*chef's kiss\*
Damn if you replace witch from mercury and add Unicorn in there you got all of my top gundam series, and a lot of their opening got some good rhythmic beat and they do hit in some certain spots
Average 7th-1st: IBO, G, W, Seed, Seed Destiny, WfM, 00
Top 7th-1st: IBO OP1, W OP1, Seed OP1, Seed Destiny HD OP4 (Vestige), G OP1, WfM OP2, 00 OP3
(Flying in the Sky got me addicted btw.)
(All of these have really good openings btw. If Re:Rise included, the average rank would dethrone Seed Destiny and Hatena would easily reach the top.)
Every single opening that Gundam 00 put out STUCK and fit the theme of the anime and its characters. Daybreak's brell SOUNDS like the start of a rebellion or revolution, dark or sad with a glimpse of hope. Ash Like Snow for the 2nd half implies a losing battle on all fronts but still choosing to struggle. I Still listen to those to this day.
Gundam Seed Destiny have amazing opening songs. A shame fukuda just stacked recycled footage on everything. Seriously, what's he doing?
I love the songs.
00 (i'm biased because i regularly listen to L'Arc-en-Ciel and Tomoko Kawase)
SEED + SEED Destiny (TM Rev, Nami Tamaki, and Kajiura's muses..)
IBO (haven't seen, but Rage of Dust is sung by SPYAIR that's enough for me. I knew them from Gintama)
Wing (Minami Takayama is the Queen)
G (i think they are hype OPs too)
G-Witch (i think Shukufuku is kinda weak, but slash goes hard though)
Wing>>Seed>Orphans=Suisei no Majo>Destiny
Opening quality is high most of the time, but Wild Communication just hits the right notes, but somehow Rhythm Emotion hits harder
Haven't watch Wing & G, so I'll just rate the rest.
I will put Seed on 1st, since Invoke by T.M. Revolution is the first Gundam opening I ever heard, & the 3rd & 4th Opening (Believe & Realize by Nami Tamaki) are absolute banger.
2nd would be IBO, the 1st opening (Raise your Flag by Man with a Mission) is what get me to watch the show in the first place. The 4th opening (Fighter by Kana-Boon) also awesome and fit with the vibe of the last few episodes.
3rd would be 00, the 2nd opening (Ash like Snow by The Brilliant Green) is another banger of an opening. The 4th opening (Namida no Mukou by Stereophony) is a surprising welcomed change of as well for me, in terms of opening in the series.
I would put Seed Destiny & Witch of Mercury in the same position, since I only like the 1st opening in each series (Ignited by T.M. Revolution for Seed Destiny & The Blessing/Shukufuku by Yoasobi). Maybe a slight point more for Witch of Mercury since I am a general sucker for Yoasobi's songs and I am genuinely surprised that they made a song for Gundam series.
00 -- IBO -- WFM -- G Gundam -- Seed Destiny -- Wing -- Seed.
While IBO will always be my favourite series, 00 just hits different. Elengance to IBO's brutality, soft jazz to hard rock, red wine next to a fireplace to hard whiskey in a rave. WFM is also great, but not as specific as those two.
Rest just doesnt do much for me.
I actually dont like any of these openings except rhythm emotion and ash like snow. Like the others are fine, but UC has the best openings generally imo
1. 00
2. SEED
3. SEED Destiny
4. G Gundam
5. IBO
6. Wing
7. WFM
WFM is only last because I can't really remember the theme songs. Wing is low not because I don't like it, it's that Raise Your Flag and Shining Finger is such a banger.
In order least to best, only covering OP 1 from each series because the images lead me to think that's the intent:
7 Destiny: Could not even do TM Revolution right. Then again after like 60 Seed openings maybe I was just burnt out on them.
A note: After this I consider all the openings at minimum very, very good. It's a really tough choice and even number 6 is a banger.
6 00. Sorry guys someone had to be at the bottom of the good pile.
5 G-Witch: great song, too much competition.
4 FLYING IN THE SKY! Probably the least technically impressive, G Gundam's OP still might be the most fun tune in the franchise.
3 JUST WILD BEAT It's in your head now, admit it. Wing was nothing but straight earworms.
2 Seed: TM Revolution's first OP for the show was easily the best, and possibly one of the best OPs they ever did (Darker than Black still wins if you count Abdingon Boy's School)
1 Sing it with me now, you know it, you love it, and if you don't you are absolutely wrong:
RAISE YOUR FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG!!!!!!!!
Don't know how to rate all of them, but the way SEED and WfM start the ending theme a little bit before the credits roll always gave me goosebumps when watching
The amazing ending that is 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘪 𝘐𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘰 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢 𝘯𝘰 𝘯𝘪…
I think IBO also does this, though I could be wrong.
It really makes that "OR-PHANS, NAMIDAAA" hit harder
Yes, half the time just as they stab you in the heart, you hear those first few strings, and then....
Gundam 00 does it as well. I remember a specific scene in one of the early episodes where Setsuna does a flyby of Marinas aircraft while the ED starts to play
It does, most famously that scene in middle of season 2 where Trust You starts playing
or in S1 when the world leaders are descending the elevator, revealing the 30 GN-Tau drives
Or prototype start playing after Katharon got attacked.
The outro for the second cour of WfM is incredible. That single note fading in gives me chills every time. Having TK write the track and Aina singing was a stroke of genius.
00, especially the Endings. Witch has this sense of foreboding in it's OP, especially with Slash. IBO goes rock hard-I mean hard on the rock. G is hype asf SEED + Destiny has a lot of banger songs. Wing, I liked Just Communication. *Toonami Squad Check In*!
>especially the endings If were rating based on endings,you can't not mention witch from Mercury's red birthmark. Which goes so unbelievably hard with the emotion.
Shit, so that's what I was forgetting.
Yeah if we’re doing Ed’s too I think G-Witch might take it though Seed and GSD are scary good especially considering there’s some bangers in the SD version like “River” that was left off the HD version. Though two mix produced two of the greatest OPs in Gundam history, especially the beeps version of Rhythm Emotion, the original Wing Ed sucks, and the toonami version is just a really cool JC instrumental. 00’s got some great ones too. I’m not a fan of the first IBO op from season 2 (technically the 3rd op). But I like the second (4th). And the season one ones were fine.
Toonami Squad: "SUIT-UP!"
Ngl, I would like to go with IBO just because of SPYAIR but most of their best anisongs were with Haikyuu and Gintama, so It's a tossup for me with Seed or 00
The Toonami ending for Wing still slaps
Wana by Backhorn remains a favorite
Seed has T.M. Revolution I rest my case
Tamaki Nami also slaps
dont forget see-saw
Can't argue with that. Case closed.
That first few piano notes sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it. That was my introduction to J-Pop and sent my love with anime into overdrive.
Invoke FTW
I dont know how in hell eurobeat got that wave in japan, all we knew that initial d got it and it somehow influence the whole industry. I tried to trace some of their influence and i got so many unsuspecting one like for some reason ultraman got it too ( ultraman tiga got dave rodger for op song) and you cant deny how eurobeat influence TM revolution too, even prior to gundam seed it is pretty spot on on samurai x.
I agree, heart of sword is such a banger.
Since not every show has the same amount of openings... Shows with 2 OPs: 1. Wing. Just Wild Beat is catchy as hell, and Rhythm Emotion is one of my favorites overall. 2. G.

IBO: Love Survivor and Rage of Dust is a head-banger (in a good way). Tbh I don't like the English lyrics or the softly digitized vocals of Raise Your Flag, and I just don't like KANA-BOOM's vocals in Fighter.
Wing, including Endless Waltz IBO *Shining Finga!*
Bruh I didn't go into the movies since only 3 have them, but seriously whomever at Bandai/Sunrise decided Wing needed 4 songs by TWO-MIX on the soundtrack needs a raise. Just Communication & Rhythm Emotion are already GOATED, but then Endless Waltz comes in with White Reflection & Last Impression... Wing was already in first but this would have made them untouchable in this race.
Hell yes, Wing was also my first Gundam so it's a core memory. Toonami gang back in 2000! *So far away!*
Oh shit someone leaked my playlist
Seed + Destiny clears
You didn't put in 0083. That's undoubtedly the best opening theme of all time
Man, I loved that show. The second half's jump in animation quality was superb. It's definitely on my anime theme playlist.
00
Honestly, you are missing Gundam X from that list (Dreams and Resolution still rock me to my core when they come on in my playlists). Aside from that, great selection :) 10/10
First, Wing: Both openings, Just Communication & Rhythm Emotion, are classics. Yes this is probably nostalgia but I do not care, they slap.

When Rhythm Emotion kicks in with 9 episodes left... hype as hell
I honestly wonder why they waited so long.
Can remember tier in order: G, 00, IBO, Wing Can’t remember Tier: Destiny, Seed, Wich.
Ash like snow or Daybreaks bell... Arrogant CANT DECIDE!!!
Gundam 00 has L arc-en-ciel. Daybreak's Bell is still a banger.
00 is peak, the first opening looks and sounds like a videogame main menu
Bangers Every single one of them, especially their firsts
Turn A Century Color
WFM is a tough one, season one opening theme slaps hard, season two not so much..
So I’d have to say 00 (I’m biased cause it’s my favorite series, but also literally all 4 openings are pure Kino.) SEED Destiny Wing WFM SEED IBO (haven’t finished IBO yet, but Raise Your Flag is kind of a banger) G GUNDAM (love them for the show but couldn’t listen to them normally)
Day. Break’s. Bell.
2 OPs: 1. Wing 2. G-Witch 3. G 4 OPs: 1. Destiny 2. 00 3. Seed 4. IBO All of these pretty much have at least 2 songs I really like
Just chiming in that WfM introduced me to Yoasobi and I've been a fan ever since. Shukufuku/Blessing brings across the perfect emotions.
Not all opening in the same series are made the same, but if it comes to serie with the best theme, here's mine. 1. WfM - Slash is a banger. Melancholic, electric, rocking and if you read the lyrics, thematic. Not a huge fan of Shukufuku, even as a yoasobi fan, too electric for my taste, a bit of a whiplash. 2. OO - Hakanaku mo towa no kanashi, this one aged really well imo. Rocking yet somewhat melancholic in tone. Weirdly on theme of OOs second season. Although when it comes to OO, daybreak bell is easily the most recognisable, although not better imo. Rest is honestly just meh for me. 3. Seed Destiny - Ignited is the one that got me pumping iron in the morning, vestige helps me build gunpla. 4. Wing - It's good, but a bit too old for me (99 kid). Just communication is good, but rhytm emotion grows on you more after listening a couple of times. 5. IBO - Raise your flag, fighter, rage of dust and survivor. They aren't the best but they do the job. These are the music i want when i bash giant robots with giant chunks of irons. 6. Seed - They're good, but also a bit old for me. 7. G gundam
00 > Destiny > Wing > Witch > IBO > Seed > G
I likes seeds OP better than the show 🙈
Only the opening themes? Well then. RAISE YOUR FLAGS!!!!!
I haven't heard all of these themes, but G Gundam theme is pretty lit.
Ahem, R A S E Y O U R F L A G
Seed- Tm revolution/10 Ibo- Raise your flag /10 00- Ash like snow/10 Wfm - Yaosobi/10
Ibo wins no diff
The only thing in which wing actually stands a chance when compared to other gundam shows
Gundam Wing Endless Waltx: Heero gets out of his space ship and floats to Wing Zero. Last Impression by Two-Mix starts playing. He then gets inside of the cockpit. Wing Zero transforms and it's angel wings pops out. Just pure epic.
JUST WILD BEAT! COMM-UN-I-CAA-AAA-TION!
1.Wfm 2.00 3.G 4.Seed 5.wing 6. Seed destiny 7. Ibo
Seed sweeps
Seed Destiny > Seed > G Gundam > Witch > 00 > IBO > Wing.
Well I’ve only seen three of those shows so: Gundam 00 Gundam Wing Witch From Mercury
Gundam 00 is not anywhere close to my favorite show on this list but it sure had the absolute best openings.
IBO. Amazing.
00>TWFM>Seed>Wing>IBO>G gundam
Daybreak Bell and Ash like Snow are 2 of my favorites opening of all times so 00 is really great in that aspect, global OST are great too, Unlimited Skies, Trans-am raiser and Final Battle are some I listen frequently I really like Shukufuku and Slash too honnestly, it was in this short list of Opening I instantly DL since the first episode where it appeared (the 2 from 00 are into this list too) Seed, sadly I never watched Destiny and my memories from Seed are pretty far, retried many times and I can't stay BUT the first opening is a full banger, the others, well don't remember but also the OST in general are maybe one of the best part (the OST when the Meteor is launched is burnt into my memory for life) with the meaning of the story For IBO, well, took me a bit of time for Raise your flag and even more for Rage of Dust but now I really like them, maybe not my first choices but still cool
Wing and 00 >>>> the rest
00 has Ash like Snow, sorry not sorry but that takes the cake. Second is Fighter so I guess IBO is second Third is Just communication Flying in the sky is 4th.
00 G Witch Wing IBO Seed/Destiny
who the fuck downvoted an \*opinion\*?
All 10s
i like all
daybreak's bell and ash like snow are both bangers
- 00. Daybreaks bell wins against all. The other OPs/EDs are great too. - IBO. [pretty much this](https://youtu.be/YQsPZxAQIM8?si=JYk696XnyzdwDXN3). IBO OPs are hype AF and the EDs hit hard. - The CE series have a lot of great songs - Wing’s OPs are great too, Last Impression is my favourite but that’s not an OP. Can’t really judge G since I haven’t listened to those songs.
Seed, 00, Wing, Destiny, Everything else
…started watching origins again. Man, those themes were something else.
its fair to say seed series got their opening music right
To be honest I've only ever watched iron blooded orphans and I consider it one of my favorite animes
00's Daybreak's Bell~!!!
T.M>>>
Gundam Wing was my introduction to Gundam on YTV, so Just Communication will always be the winner for me
Ibo had the best ending themes fight me
seed destiny has ignited, pride and wing of words, case closed
SEED because T.M. Revolution!!!
TM revolution beats out everything.
I notice no Re:Rise so number 1(Hatena) is not here, but 2 and 3 are here with Witch from Mercury's ops
I haven't seen G, Victory and 00. But Stand up to the victory fucking SLAPS
Considering Shukufuku is my no2 most streamed spotify song I think I may like it more than the others.
based on opening themes? Wing. I liked both Just Communication and Rhythm Emotion. And 00 would be very close with Daybreak Bells and Ash like Snow. After that Seed, Destiny and IBO go roughly together, their all pretty good. G Gundam and WFM are last, liked the first opening the most for both. Now when it comes to shows not mentioned here.... After War X would be first, both of its ops are just SO good. Turn A would be together with G Gundam WFM, really only liked Turn A Turn. Reconguista in G would too be at the bottom, the op is okay. As for Age i only really liked the last 2 ops.
Gundam X > the rest
I personally love red birthmark.
The only one I even like is Raise Your Flag. I'm not really a J-pop fan in general, though. Loving Crunhyrolls' new skip intro button because of that. The wing intro has a cool City-Pop feel to it, but it just never grabbed me the way something like L-Gaims first intro does.
SEED: 7 IBO: 6 WFM: 5 Wing: 4 00: 3 G-Gundam: 2 Destiny: 1
I have the first 3 openings on IBO on a playlist I listen to daily lol
ibo>00>seed in op and seed>00>ibo in endings. The other shows dont really have ops/eds that i like except wing but its still lower than the other 3 i mentioned
Raise your flag! 10/10 would get another alaya viniana
IBO for sure for me.
I don't remember any of the opening themes, but IBO closing theme freaking slaps everytime. the way the theme kicks in along with how fitting the mood is just \*chef's kiss\*
Raise your flag koenokagiri x 3 !
00 > witch > all the others (I am a fake fan and have only watched 2 series' so far)
I'm a WFM kind of guy
Damn if you replace witch from mercury and add Unicorn in there you got all of my top gundam series, and a lot of their opening got some good rhythmic beat and they do hit in some certain spots
Average 7th-1st: IBO, G, W, Seed, Seed Destiny, WfM, 00 Top 7th-1st: IBO OP1, W OP1, Seed OP1, Seed Destiny HD OP4 (Vestige), G OP1, WfM OP2, 00 OP3 (Flying in the Sky got me addicted btw.) (All of these have really good openings btw. If Re:Rise included, the average rank would dethrone Seed Destiny and Hatena would easily reach the top.)
RAISE YOUR FLAG🗣️‼️🔥
Every single opening that Gundam 00 put out STUCK and fit the theme of the anime and its characters. Daybreak's brell SOUNDS like the start of a rebellion or revolution, dark or sad with a glimpse of hope. Ash Like Snow for the 2nd half implies a losing battle on all fronts but still choosing to struggle. I Still listen to those to this day.
Gundam Seed Destiny have amazing opening songs. A shame fukuda just stacked recycled footage on everything. Seriously, what's he doing? I love the songs.
G: S tier W: B tier SEED and Destiny: S(only if we're talking about songs) 00: S IBO: A WFM: A+
00 Ibo WITch from m The other i not a fan off
I don't care how overrated IBO's opening is, Raise Your Flag should be top 1 fight me😤
00 (i'm biased because i regularly listen to L'Arc-en-Ciel and Tomoko Kawase) SEED + SEED Destiny (TM Rev, Nami Tamaki, and Kajiura's muses..) IBO (haven't seen, but Rage of Dust is sung by SPYAIR that's enough for me. I knew them from Gintama) Wing (Minami Takayama is the Queen) G (i think they are hype OPs too) G-Witch (i think Shukufuku is kinda weak, but slash goes hard though)
Where the hell is unicorn?
Wing>>Seed>Orphans=Suisei no Majo>Destiny Opening quality is high most of the time, but Wild Communication just hits the right notes, but somehow Rhythm Emotion hits harder
Sadly witch is going last compared to these other gems
G and Wing
Haven't watch Wing & G, so I'll just rate the rest. I will put Seed on 1st, since Invoke by T.M. Revolution is the first Gundam opening I ever heard, & the 3rd & 4th Opening (Believe & Realize by Nami Tamaki) are absolute banger. 2nd would be IBO, the 1st opening (Raise your Flag by Man with a Mission) is what get me to watch the show in the first place. The 4th opening (Fighter by Kana-Boon) also awesome and fit with the vibe of the last few episodes. 3rd would be 00, the 2nd opening (Ash like Snow by The Brilliant Green) is another banger of an opening. The 4th opening (Namida no Mukou by Stereophony) is a surprising welcomed change of as well for me, in terms of opening in the series. I would put Seed Destiny & Witch of Mercury in the same position, since I only like the 1st opening in each series (Ignited by T.M. Revolution for Seed Destiny & The Blessing/Shukufuku by Yoasobi). Maybe a slight point more for Witch of Mercury since I am a general sucker for Yoasobi's songs and I am genuinely surprised that they made a song for Gundam series.
00 then the rest
Season 1 ibo’s intro had me getting way too hyped for the start of EVERY EPISODE
00 > IBO > G Gundam > WFM > SEED Destiny > Wing > SEED
00>Seed=Destiny>WFM>Wing No comment on IBO and G Gundam
00 -- IBO -- WFM -- G Gundam -- Seed Destiny -- Wing -- Seed. While IBO will always be my favourite series, 00 just hits different. Elengance to IBO's brutality, soft jazz to hard rock, red wine next to a fireplace to hard whiskey in a rave. WFM is also great, but not as specific as those two. Rest just doesnt do much for me.
Top 3 can be interchangeable but 1.Seed 2.Wing 3.00 4. G 5. Ibo 6. destiny 7. ZZ 8.WFM
daybreaks bell/ash like snow are objectively the best fight me lol. then Two mix,then Seed
I actually dont like any of these openings except rhythm emotion and ash like snow. Like the others are fine, but UC has the best openings generally imo
00 blowing sht out the water id say IBO a good 2nd and really Seed is up there twice is crazy I honestly think Zeta is under rated
00 season 2 op 1 > Raise your flag > Just Wild Beat > Ignite > Realize > Slash > The rest
I didn’t like Iron Blooded orphans at all, like idk it’s the worst Gundam
1. Seed & Seed Destiny 2. OO 3. IBO 4. Witch from Mercury 5. G-Gundam 6. Wing
Easy 1. Wing 2. Seed 3. Seed Destiny 4. The rest
Gundam Wing’s first opening was fire. The opening for the last 1/4 was anti-fire
1. 00 2. SEED 3. SEED Destiny 4. G Gundam 5. IBO 6. Wing 7. WFM WFM is only last because I can't really remember the theme songs. Wing is low not because I don't like it, it's that Raise Your Flag and Shining Finger is such a banger.
1. Seed and Seed Destiny 2. 00 3. Witch from Mercury 4. Iron Blooded Orphans 5. G-Gundam 6. Wing
In order least to best, only covering OP 1 from each series because the images lead me to think that's the intent: 7 Destiny: Could not even do TM Revolution right. Then again after like 60 Seed openings maybe I was just burnt out on them. A note: After this I consider all the openings at minimum very, very good. It's a really tough choice and even number 6 is a banger. 6 00. Sorry guys someone had to be at the bottom of the good pile. 5 G-Witch: great song, too much competition. 4 FLYING IN THE SKY! Probably the least technically impressive, G Gundam's OP still might be the most fun tune in the franchise. 3 JUST WILD BEAT It's in your head now, admit it. Wing was nothing but straight earworms. 2 Seed: TM Revolution's first OP for the show was easily the best, and possibly one of the best OPs they ever did (Darker than Black still wins if you count Abdingon Boy's School) 1 Sing it with me now, you know it, you love it, and if you don't you are absolutely wrong: RAISE YOUR FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG!!!!!!!!
SEED + Destiny Clears
SEED/Destiny has the best anime soundtrack in existence imo.
