Top '80s Anime Openings/Endings

[@CherryPopBlossom]

There's just something about the 80's and 90's that can never be replaced or replicated.

[@marcsm2008]

There's a special charm in those '80 animes that I can't find in newer ones. I still like anime a lot, but those old ones are still my favorites.

Cuz all the new ones are too darn cynical. These still had a peace and optimism to them.

80's Romance was a big deal from TV shows, Movies and Anime

[@bigboomer1013]

I realised that most female protagonist don't even look like children. They all look like adults or teenagers. The art style is also super different to where they look innocent and sweet but not in a loli kind of way. Also, 80s anime women look really hot lol.

[@krampus8508]

I am not offending anyone but may i ask if most audience are lolicon?

[@suisiwara2036]

Krampus about half but not most

[@Chriggan2]

80's aesthetics aimed at what they thought would be 21 century, almost all futuristic. The heroes of old, both western and eastern, were mature men and mid-20's women, and many were older. We didn't put that much burden on youth to be "sucessful" so early. So, most characters also were representative of this age, with kids being comic relief or exceptionally gifted genius. Also, women in 80's were meant to look fit, slim and wild, with hair that looked like lion's manes. The point was, those youngsters should aim to become full grown men and women. Nowdays everything is too much precocious, to much early, too much rush, thus, characters "evolved" to be much, much younger, but fully functional. This is how Market controls our lives by culture.

[@johnrockwell5834]

Too much Moe.

[@InfinityZwei]

I blame "The Star of Cottonland" for innovating the Moe genre.

[@MrKais96]

Not gonna lie Maison Ikkoku has the most memorable, over the time openings and endings for me. They aged so well, like..The perfect Wine.

[@MarineRX179]

You can't. Because back in the 80s despite life was hard, it still always had that positive vibe of of there's always a "better, brighter tomorrow"; looking at the world today, you can't help but feel depressing like things will only go downhill from here and all we could do is just attempt to slow down the process...

[@znightowlz6585]

molu ormolu “low quality” you realise the quality is triple what it was in the 80’s right?

[@znightowlz6585]

I Control My Fate it still has that. The quality you’re talking about is called nostalgia. It’s not unique, it’s not physical. It’s just nostalgia

[@znightowlz6585]

I Control My Fate uhm no. It isn’t. I think you should actually watch anime and not just listen to the memes that make fun of shoujo. To say what you’re saying shows you have no understanding of anime from after the 80’s. FYI even anime from before the 90’s was flashy. Astroboy, sailor moon, dragon ball etc etc

[@znightowlz6585]

I Control My Fate it lost its “water colour texture” bc the same shitty hardware isn’t being used anymore. It looked like that bc its graphical system sucked ass. If you want a water colourly look just go watch some samurai anime like the new dororo....or just watch Garo: crimson moon or overlord. Stop whining about anime not looking old and shitty anymore

[@ghost085]

What happened with anime? Was there a money over abundance back then in the 80's and 90's? All these shows look so good, they make many new ones look very cheap.

[@presper6434]

These are openings in the 80s. They're designed to be very appealing, to act as a hook to capture viewers attention and watch the show. Thus a lot of money has been pooled into the animation to look as cool and fluid as possible. Its likely that most of the anime in this list didn't have the same animation quality as their openings. As for why more modern anime doesn't have such spectacular openings like their 80's counterparts is only a guess. I would think its more of a culture change than being cheap. There's streaming now, and openings really don't have the importance they once had. It could also be that anime is still very expensive today. Many studios in Japan still draw every frame traditionally. Instead of doing it completely digitally. Which could limit the production value of the animation. Don't take my word for it though.

[@ghost085]

Presper Very well put.That reminds me of the Thundercats intro, so smooth.

[@pershop4950]

I think what happened is that the modern group of anime tries to produce very fast and appeal to a worldwide audience (or maybe Westerners). The older ones were really for Japanese or Asian audiences, and slow progress was made on them. For example, it was not unheard of to wait 1 or more years for a sequel!

[@imnotprisma]

There actually was a bubble in Japan's economy.

[@NightpireVideos]

Japan's economy was booming during the 80s and 90s until it collapsed.

[@Verlarn]

Wait a minute, an anime had _'Alone Again, Naturally'_ in their opening?! Omg I love it. 😭

[@Uapa500]

Yes, Maison Ikkoku did 🙂 if you can, take a look at it 🙂

[@kuyakeyk]

Originally, it was used to promote Gilbert Sullivan's music. Honestly, it suited to the series theme.

Yeah. And the song can be listened at the end of the episode 27. Try dont cry with that last scene.

[@keds999]

I thought That Kitty was going ro be sued for infringement by Gilbert O'Sullivan because both "Alone Again, Naturally" and "Get Down" were used only one time...

[@WalkerRileyMC]

We can't. If something doesn't turn a profit, it isn't worth doing. That's our current mindset. When's the last time you saw an OVA released? Can't do those anymore....doesn't reach a wide enough audience and can't be banked on.

[@Bloodreign1]

You see all these anime from the 80's, and you realize how sad it is that a majority of it is not English subbed, or completely ignored on anime sites. Wouldn't hurt of course if companies in Japan decided to put these on DVD, or make them more available to watch somewhere. Hell even stuff from the 90's, like Magical Taruruuto-kun is nowhere to be found, unless you go by devious means, and it's still not subtitled. Toei put up all of Ghost Sweepper Mikami with English subtitles, and I'm thankful for that, but Taruruuto is also their property, and is a bit popular. But it's pretty much left to rot.

There is no Touch. This anime has so many good openings/endings ! My favorite one is the second op, Ai ga Hitoribocchi (1985) !

I don’t see how some people loathe the medium like they do when series like these exist, right there, existing for your own personal discovery. Old school anime is so fascinating.

Man I miss anime style of those days. Would have loved a Versailles no Bara on there as well.

Goddamn, why i can't hold tears on Takahashi titles ?

Amazing how i looked at the thumbnail and the first thing that came to my mind was Maison Ikkoku

Kind of sad that there's no spot for any of the openings/endings from "Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl" in this. It's an underrated anime that does a good job of showing the beauty of Judo with a good story to boot. It's partially why I was inspired to get back into Martial Arts training last year after I started watching/reading it. Oh well, it's a pretty obscure manga/anime and I understand completely. I was very satisfied to see Cobra the Space Pirate at the top 10 though. hehe. 😸

Only the first op and ed qualify as the rest aired after 1989

[@brayanargandonaflorentino548]

Yawara is a MUST watch for a good amount of reasons

...Head-Cha-La gets a -M? C'mon man! That's probably the most legendary song in all of the Dragon Ball franchise! I think that opening deserved a +M ontop of the +A, lol.

God, I love old anime songs.

We were going to have a fight until #2 popped up! I appreciate this list, as I now have more anime I have to look up than ever before. And thank you for this trip down memory lane for the ones that I knew. I also loved the .5 for the two English songs on the list.
