1 sequenceNeon Genesis Evangelion
1995–1996TV TokyoAnimation
Ninety seconds cut faster than the eye resolves, with whole frames of text and diagram flashed for one frame each. Yoko Takahashi's theme is bright, major-key J-pop laid over imagery that is doing nothing of the kind, and the mismatch is the point rather than an accident.
- Season 1

A schoolgirl pulled into a war between a hidden planet and an empire, scored throughout for full orchestra.
- Season 1

- Season 1
- Season 5
1 sequenceCowboy Bebop
1998–1999TV Tokyo / WOWOWAnimation
A jazz record given ninety seconds of animation. Silhouettes and hard-edged colour panels cut on the beat of a big band, borrowing the grammar of 1960s film titles so completely that the show it opens looks like a rediscovery rather than a debut.
- Season 1

1998TV TokyoAnimation
A desert western scored like a spy thriller, with a gunman who refuses to kill anyone.

Five girls infused with the DNA of endangered animals, in the magical girl series that made cat ears a convention.
- Season 1
1 sequenceBleach
2004–TV TokyoAnimation
Fifteen different openings across its original run, each one a complete restyling — a long-running series that treated its titles as a rotating commission rather than a fixed asset.
- Season 1
1 sequenceYu-Gi-Oh! GX
2004–2008TV TokyoAnimation
The Duel Monsters sequel, moved to a boarding school for duellists.
- Season 1

Samurai comedy in an alien-occupied Edo, and one of the longest lists of distinct opening sequences in television.

A mecha series whose opening escalates as fast as the show does, and which by the end is operating at a scale the first episode could not have suggested.

Twenty distinct openings across a decade, changed roughly every cour — one of the largest rotations of title sequences any series has produced.

2022–TV TokyoAnimation
The final arc animated a decade after the original series ended, with a new opening for each cour in the tradition the show established.
- Season 1
1 sequenceChainsaw Man
2022–TV TokyoAnimation
An opening built almost entirely out of film references — a different movie restaged in nearly every shot, at a speed that makes spotting them a second viewing's work.

Sixties spy-film design applied to a fake family — the parents' cover story rendered as the title sequence they would want.
