Post the best intros. Bonus points if they're from lesser known shows.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVAePIyC4kQFor a cartoon based on a blockbuster movie, this show was way too good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkTQqUNLp64
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwTydFBtdBYIt's fun to have a theme you can just start singing with a group of people and they all just join in perfectly
>>153114459Pretty sure 98% of you didn't even know about this show. I wish the intro was longer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsWdNnQVxwM
>>153114459https://youtube.com/watch?v=MkHr-vMfhYE
No matter your thoughts on the actual show you have to admit that it has a awesome theme song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H71elxohy1Q
Such a bitching tunehttps://youtu.be/BGrm5WpCJgo
Reminds me of that animated music video of that one Pearl Jam song.

>>153114459way too catchy than it should behttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe6hz84_fgU
>>153116097Yeah, likely the best in term of presenting in just 1 minute what's the character and the show is all about.

>>153114459Yes it's great but the version you posted is pitched up. In fact I can't find a version of the real song without an episode attached to it so here you gohttps://youtu.be/7DrLvKAqjKw?t=105This is what it's actually supposed to sound like
>>153117298yeah that was a nice opening song, it's very Sting-esque. And I was surprised to see that much voice talent in such an obscure cartoon

>>153122100I know I've seen it before on live TV, but I can't remember when
I love the Spider-Man TAS theme. That fucking guitar solo is pure sex.

>>153121104>>153122412I looked up the lyric and apparently the second verse goes: "Spider blood, spider blood, radioactive spider blood" which I find funny for a show where Morbius had to suck plasma because mentioning blood is a no-no for a kid cartoon. Probably it slipped through because no one understand what the vocal is saying.

>>153122892It has been quite a while since I watched it but it's a pretty funny parody of superheroes, more so going into absurdist territory. Worth check out if you're interested imo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq4incEJJQ8
Xiaolin Showdown was the banger.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0FPVgfrj50https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT0Gkul68mYPersonal I prefer Season 1 version. I'm sucker for that high-contrast black & white part. Odd they didn't actualize the intro for the third season.

I don't remember what the show was called but the intro had normal baseball team get turned into monsters while there was a massive earthquake happening in the stadium.

>>153114459https://youtu.be/_7TvSNdgKikThe English version sucks
The tune of this one is catchyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnR94cKj7AUbut it's because it's a cover for a song by the French group Indochine, which was about the same (book) character https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7X6oYg6iroBut you may have heard this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMZY2Wy--8o on the Longest Journey
>>153137324Agree with the tune being catchy, but the close up on the eyes in the first 10 seconds is funny to me. Like I don't know what they're trying to convey here.
>>153138694That's fair.I mean, there seem to be an "eye looking at the camera" motive, it seems, so that's a start.
>>153137324You son of a bitch I thought that was a cartoon I have the vaguest memories of but could never fine (It involved a space trucker with a similar art style, early 2000nds) but no cigarAnyway.The Beast stands revered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXDH2NUYrggAnd whilst I'm posting obscure licensed Mainframe series- Look alive Gear Heads!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KQdl5k3y0E>>153114832The crossover we deserve buy Toho veto'dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIJZMruQju8And the objective best animated introhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMJ7S4iwXSc

>>153141596I wonder how much steampunk aspect there was in the original Wild Wild West show, because from what I've seen, it doesn't seem much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tEL9u_TPTYShame this song didn't get a full version.
>>153117686It was one of those shows that was clearly intended to be bigger than it was (iirc there was a live-action Prince Valiant movie around the same time)
>>153117061This show and its intro are the epitome of the bait and switch cartoons do. Cool intro with great animation, shit show with animation and plots that have you asking "why was this approved?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtNPFSz9-5cjem and the holograms' music sucked the misfits were better and had really good songs
