GAH! so many I could have included >< Like the Shinobu song or the Viewtiful Joe theme song or Breeze or Infinity or ENGAGE!! or Forever We Can Make It or... >< gah too many to pick!

So I went for the widest spread possible.

EDIT: I went and switched out Pegasus Fantasy for the Yatterman theme. Its timeless like the Cutie honey one, no matter which version XD
 
I added some honorable mentions to my post. For those who don't want to go back and read them, they are . . .

"Link" - L'Arc~en~Ciel, Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Sharaballa
"Pride" - HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR, Gundam SEED Destiny OP 2
"BLAZE" - KINYA, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles OP 1
"What's Up People?" - Maximum The Hormone, Death Note OP 2
"Re:meraber" - FLOW, Naruto OP 8
"Closer" - Joe Inoue, Naruto Shippuden OP 4

I want to give these openings some more attention even though they didn't quite make my cut.

EDIT: I bumped "Link" off of my list and replaced it with "Hitomi no Tsubasa" which clocks in seventh place, bumping "ALONES", "HOWLING", and "Ash Like Snow" all down a spot.
