Methodology for Most Popular Anime Openings (2008 - 2022):
1) I gathered data from Wikipedia. The .csv files containing search interest values were downloaded from Google Trends for every opening.
2) Ammount Search Tool determined the average monthly search volume for every opening.
3) The number of searches per month for each calendar year were proportioned based on official reports from Google.
4) Data modeling through an algorithm invented by me to obtain the most realistic data possible.
5) Search interest values and proportioned monthly search volumes were placed in Excel for calculations.
6) The data was placed into Flourish Studio to create the data visualization piece.
7) Image and audio assets were added with Wondershare Filmora.

Even after all these years, a Cruel Angel's Thesis is still there. Such a classic opening!

It was crazy seeing a cruel angel’s thesis holding on for a spot on the list. It even crept back into top 3 in 2019! That’s probably thanks to the power of social media.

I don't know why, but I didn't like "sasageo" for me. It does not have the energy that was in the first opening. I watched the first season in 2013 and at that time it was the scariest thing I watched. Humanity that can be destroyed by scary and brainless titans. The opening is very beautiful and shows the epic nature of the people's struggle with the Titans and their last hope for the warriors who are fighting the Titans. He was so good that I listened to him for a month. But when season 2 came out, I was disappointed. Since that time, the anime has gone the wrong way unfortunately.

Seeing "crying for rain" at number 1 for 2 seconds makes me really happy.

[@freelancerdelta5681]

It's such a good song though

[@zzasdfwas]

I like when the music is synced with the bargraph. It's more exciting when there is a battle for first.

[@Abd_007]

Unravel holding the top spot for years shows just how special it was... Too bad the anime didn't live up to it

[@zanrex1392]

Black catcher is still one of my favourite🔥

I like how the 2000s was basically mostly Bleach OPs

[@saraa9884]

i love how SAO OP 1 is still in top 10 SUCH A GREAT SONG LiSA IS INSANE

[@Journeyagain0]

Wished they play the song whenever and whoever takes the #1 spot each time, but I'm guessing they didn't include it because of copyright prevention.

Ousama ranking is not that popular that's why it was not there.

[@zawarudo6287]

My favourite is Inferno from Fire Force and my favourite first opening, MC theme is Haruka Mirai from Black Clover, favourite Naruto op is silhouette, Unravel gave me chills listening to it for the first time, favourite AOT op is Sasagaeyo. And, it's not an opening but AOT's latest ending Akuma No Ko is the purest and sadest for me and one of my favourite songs. And I can pretty much understand all these songs now. (Watching lots of anime and a bit of online Japanese studying really helps)

[@MissdermeanerJ]

Loved seeing Bleach on this list so much. The anime had an amazing soundtrack! Ranbu no Melody will always be one of my faves ever

[@kamui4708]

Same, ranbu no Melody>all

[@jayhill2193]

Bleach OPs are among the very best of all of Anime. Ranbu No Melody, D-Tecnolife and Asterisk will always be legendary. And they are so wide ranged too, I'd say it's nigh impossible not to find at least one Bleach OP that suits your taste, though imo, there isn't one which isn't at least good.

[@datguy3581]

Gotta appreciate that Rumbling, My War, and Sasgeyo all made it.
