Saint Seiya!!! One of my all time favorite animes ever! Along with City Hunter and Gogo Lion, the original Dragonball, and DBZ

[@MrPiipura]

I love City Hunter !! And Saint Seiya first opening is legendary! Good video.

[@LIMCHAIlaval]

The girls and ladies in city hunter were really beautiful.. AYA RYO SAEBA

[@inlikeflynn7238]

Why are the 80s anime openings for the most part better than the 90s openings? That Saint Seiya is pretty great.

[@vergueta_]

Yes papi 👌

[@jornojobbana5536]

I'm currently on Episode 33 of City Hunter rn. anime is so realistic and it's badass.

[@holaburger6075]

As soon as I saw the other City Hunter op I thought you weren't gonna put the first one which is my favourite...but it turned out you're a legend.

[@Monsterboy2341]

You included Transformers Headmasters, Fist of the North Star, and DBZ mad props to you for that.

Saint seiya and Ranma 1/2 💕

[@vgsquirrel]

Came here to see where City Hunter OP1 showed up and was NOT disappointed.

[@DawnReiFaun]

I’m so glad Samurai Heart (Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) was in this.

[@rthe2006]

Caption for no:23(gunbuster) is incorrect, angel night is an op for city hunter 2.

[@lucianocoutrim14]

I, who as a DDR Fan, i was loved Cat's eye and Lupin III.

[@scyfher1180]

It's a crime that no Gunbusters on this list

[@youtpfpm6097]

23 ?

[@bulaluigi]

Excellent list! Top 15 is composed mostly of my faves so thank you!

[@213AnimeFreak213]

Why do I love the art style from this era then the current one I’m a 90’s kid btw

[@nintendonut100]

Because it looks better

[@undertaker9991]

Its satisfying seeing those two in the same image.

[@anTsoziaL63]

I can feel the 80's anime OST.

[@antoniogarcia4879]

I miss seeing the amaziing, Dominion Tank Police Ovas Opening.

[@YaoiHoshi]

Sorry, but Pegasus Fantasy is the best anime song OF ALL TIME

[@kewintaylor7056]

Haha...sure...still cant find rock song better than this...

[@heoliashelliana6377]

Came in the comment to say this

[@Jolyneadventures]

Creamy Mami has the best 80s opening!

[@wiggupigeon1877]

ashita no joe opening at third place wow i love you

[@yahyeet2203]

Urusei Yatsura Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkokku

[@icetrey138]

I agree, I would only add city hunter and Cobra. Rumiko Takahashi was killing the 80s with Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2, and Urusei Yatsura is my all time favorite, then Ranma 1/2 and City Hunter are my top 3 no matter if it's an opening or closing theme, ova theme, they're all so gooooooood!

[@icetrey138]

And it's not technically 80s but Lupin part 2 carried into 1980 and the Op and Closing themes are so good

[@shiawasechan]

4:43 omg thank you for this opening, I have this anime on VHS and I was watchig it when I was little kid :D

[@m.paranoid4247]

Not an anime Dutch cartoon

[@kanglao4575]

YES YES! Finally City hunter hit a number 1 spot! I fell in love with every OP from the series but hands down I always thought city hunter 1 was the best 80s anime opening because it looks, sounds, and radiates the 80s feel! Thank you!

[@dyl_pickle16-mta48]

8:27 Kaware, Headmasters!

[@Nakiimushi]

Ginga nagareboshi gin is every Finnish kids childhood! Its still in my top 5 favorite animes. I also loved Alfred J. Kwak 💕

[@DuwangKaizer]

Dallos, The First Ever Anime OVA Ever Made!

[@DuwangKaizer]

@@yvimara_amvs Cyber Dullahan Not only Dallos is the first Anime OVA ever made, but also the first ever animated direct-to-video production ever released in the world!

[@ldiod4374]

I was not expecting Ideon to be that high. Whoever made this list has real patrician taste.

[@xampiodmstatic89]

Saint Seiya, The Best OST ever. Greetings.

[@dyl_pickle16-mta48]

9:57 I love Lupin the Third, and part 3 is my favorite of the bunch. While most people dislike it because of the pastel colors and silly art style, I find it fitting because of the decade’s fashion. The theme song “Sexy Adventure” is such a bop! In fact, my profile pic is Inspector Zenigata from part 3!

[@YaoiHoshi]

Love the aesthetic too!

[@dyl_pickle16-mta48]

@@YaoiHoshi I think that Jigen’s outfit in this part stands out from the others.

[@facugou]

Ashita no Joe! What a classic

[@netjernefer3160]

I got chills whenever I hear "Lum no love song"

[@jzaajzaasho2879]

Ginga Nagareboshi Gin is close to my finnish heart

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Awww ty for including Sherlock Hound! One of my favorite themes ever!

[@YaoiHoshi]

Ahhh, Saint Seiya, captain Tsubasa and attacker yu... the anime of my generation in Italy 😍

[@farrahbibakinantiayuningti3447]

Wahahahaha.... I can feel it, the 80s. Ranma 1/2, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, and many more....

[@vergueta_]

Saint Seiya the Best Opening 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alyssinwilliams4570]

Woah. I had no idea Saber Rider was a westernized anime.

[@luckygasai3525]

Hokuto no Ken Opening not on first place ? No manly beard for this video :D

[@TheJoyStickPlayerGamesRule]

*CRASH* Person: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!? Me: Oh that was the sound of my Anime Watch List getting longer I think I've sold my soul to anime

[@shamrock_shake]

AHA! GİGİ LA TROTOLLA! MY MAN İS BACK!!!

[@maskriderwannabee5102]

ganbare kickers!! I've forgotten this anime,

[@oli7152]

you have wonderful taste, never have i ever seen anyone mention ginga nagareboshi gin let alone its great opening, i also respect your opinion a lot in your top 100 90's anime openings

[@bolsonaroelulaemum6982]

I swear that Dirty Pair's op would be in the 1st position, but it appeared only in 26th on this list. And this op of KOR deserves a better place, together with the 20 best ops.

[@AlonsoMontero]

Amazing top 80! There's only one little mistake: Gunbuster's opening "Active Heart" is by Noriko Sakai, not PSYS.

[@BJWanlund]

Dirty Pair and the first Ranma OP should’ve been higher IMHO but good list. My anime to-watch list has grown considerably...

[@chrisf.9595]

Saint Seiya at number 2 and City Hunter first, you git some pretty good taste pal ;-)

[@YaoiHoshi]

Except for the fact that saint seiya should be first. That song is pretty universally known by 30 and 40 something people in Latin America and Europe ;)

[@missmokkori5558]

Great choices ! ♥️

[@ferrodri1514]

City Hunter 3's OP already is the 90s

[@leafjay9608]

City hunter first op is so cool

[@flashbacks7892]

Please reupload the same video, but this time, full video sequence.

[@missmokkori5558]

City Hunter’s 1st ending “get wild” is better than any City Hunter opening

[@Veikka_420]

43 was from favourite anime

[@Manuel_Arguelles]

My top 1. Dragon ball Z 2. Saint Seiya 3. Ranma 1/2

[@artansadiki3244]

Dragonball and Hokuto no Ken = 💪👍

[@Krendall2]

Not related to anything, but am I alone in hating how just about anything looks when it's upscaled to HD?

[@HautaAntero]

I'm glad Ginga Nagareboshi Gin was also in this list, because that was first "adult" anime what I saw when I was 6 year old. You probably think GNG is just silly kids anime but NO. There was lot of gore and blood you never see in kid friendly anime. Also, I really like there was also many anime in list what I use to watch as a kid. Like Nils no Fushigi na Tabi, Meitantei Holmes, Ahiru no Kwak & Lady Lady. My ex-wife really loved Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Sandy Bell.

[@TheGingaFighter]

Oh, Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, Saint Seiya and Hokuto no Ken! My Holy Trinity!

[@StarPinkMelek]

Lmao, you added Dash Kappei!! 😃

[@zecle]

La France vous dit merci pour ce moment de nostalgie. Et merci Dorothée.

[@aurdel775]

Mugen kidou SSX aka Captain Harlock aka Albator, this opening omg

[@elcompalopez8081]

saint seiya, city hunter, kimagure orange, maison ikkoku, dirty pair and ranma have the best endings and openings

[@mariabuenrostro5732]

Ah~ I'm so glad tokimeki tonight is noticed

[@dotmitchens]

If I were to pick some favorites: Cha-La, Ideon, Xabungle, Go Go Heaven, and that one fishing anime’s opening. I forget the name, does anyone know it?

[@dotmitchens]

Cyber Dullahan I found out. It’s Tsurikichi Sanpei.

[@DrinkerSJ]

시티헌터 캬~~ 그 시절로 돌아가고 싶다..... 재미있었는데.....

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing

[@Frustratedartist2]

If only City Hunter was as fun as its music and visuals :(

[@chrismontgomery5406]

My fav lupin op

[@TheLazysketcher]

07:27 There was an ANIME adaptation of this story of all things!? As a Swede, im thoroughly confuddled!

[@taiwanreporter]

Watched it on German TV as a kid.

[@TheLazysketcher]

@@taiwanreporter Tell me, do they mention the names of the Swedish towns? That would be hilarious to hear in japanese!

[@penguinstrophe]

I’m glad that Urusei Yatsura OP1 was in the top 10, it definitely deserved that spot

[@reyharkyon]

NUMBER 6 IS AWESOME!!

[@leemcdonald1342]

Is this only from the original Japanese airings? Because I'm trying to find favorite 80's anime dubbed openings, and am finding no videos.

[@kostajovanovic3711]

Nice

[@dvd_jra]

No está mal, pero considero que faltó Konyawa Hurricane de Bubblegum Crisis.

[@satellizer7584]

Ai yo kienaide and go go heaven best city hunter songs

[@BabySonicGT]

5:36 japan is still part the axis confirmed

[@Jolyneadventures]

I love aishite knight, creamy mami and lady lynn! 🥺😚😚😚😚😚😚

[@hektor6766]

Couldn't go wrong with any of the Maison Ikkoku openings (except ep 24, of course). Right that Ai yo Kienaide is no. 1

[@mekhimays9599]

Iron arm Atom and Dragon Ball 80s Are the best

[@KasumiTendo1]

I would have loved Ranma 1/2 to Be in the top 10 but I can tolerate 15😢

[@ayaam2302]

City Hunter 🔥

[@davidholton6155]

I love jungle book shines mowgli not as good as Disney one but still great

[@Tarnov]

mfw there's like an anime about a duck in dutch

[@mousdoroboneko4485]

#23 title and artist is wrong (this is from City Hunter 2 opening 1)

[@jschrab66]

Did I miss it? No Bubblegum Crisis?!

[@joelpaprocki85]

so happy city hunter won!

[@CookyMonzta]

#14 reminds me of a Hall and Oates song.😎

[@jameslee2077]

As a fan of both touch and city hunter, music wise, I think touch deserves 1st place and city hunter 2nd.

[@kamilawersul3633]

Captain Tsubasa ❤️

[@Reptileman1990]

I wish I can see Dragon Quest: Abel Densetsu in Japanese.

[@knightlance3527]

Most of those were in spacetoon if you know what I’m talking about

[@cabreramariabelen3263]

Tenshin no tamago fue una excelente revelacion

[@LOVELOVE-ii3kh]

버블경제때의 애니 퀄리티는 지금 내놔도 왠만한건 다 씹어먹을정도

[@angeliquedagard9104]

Kimagure orange road, urusei yatsura, stop hibari kun, dragon ball z, patalliro, hello spank, high school kimengumi, Doraemon, Touch...my childhood♡

[@silverwolf610]

Number 23s song is wrong angel night is a song on city hunter's soundtrack the real song name is active heart just thought I let you know

[@jimmyaboy7137]

CITY HUNTER IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN.
