Which opening and closing song and the animation it accompanies do like the best? To clear, what I'm asking is which song combined with its animation or subject matter do think it the best. Of course, the quality of the song or the animation subject matter will have a big influence, but try to weigh them as equally as possible. For an opening, I like the Fullbringer Arc's the best (Harukaze?). I love the song and it just conveys the new beginning so well. For closings, it's a little harder for me. My favorite closing song is "Echos", but when you combine song and subject matter I'd have to go with "Stay Beautiful". I like the song, but I love subject matter of putting characters in those nostalgic, movie inspired scenes. By the way, I can't put my finger on most of the scenes, but I'm fairly certain most of them are homages to classic film scenes. The obvious one's are the Superman inspiration with Kanonji as the cape crusader, and the Orihime, Rangiku, Yoruichi "Dream Girls" tip of the hat. In fact, if you look at the poster of the movie "Dream Girls" it's spot on to last shot of the Bleach girls singing. Anyway, any comments would be appreciated as to what movie scenes are being imitated, but most importantly pick and opening and closing you enjoy the most.
