Very important in nearly all anime is the introductory animation or the "intro". A montage of images and animation featuring characters, locales, and action that may be related or unrelated to the story.
Immediately someone can become interested or disinterested just from witnessing an intro and can setup initial hype that can span long enough to help shows that are slow starters.
I have watched a good amount of anime, and I want to share with you the Top 5 openings that have stuck to me throughout my anime watching history, plus 3 more that are notable mentions that nearly made the list but did not quite make the cut.
