Can't help but think of one of Fullmetal Alchemist's openings. Guess that's the point.

The key thing in an anime opening is music- music helps

......for some odd reason One Piece kept popping up in my head x'D Dem dramatic head turns.

I honestly recognized only a few of these. A lot of Fullmetal Alchemist and a bit of Claymore, Hellsing, Dragon Ball, Bleach, etc.

I don't recognize most of the anime's either, but that doesnt matter. The video is about the styles and images that are in every intro. 

So.....what about the Pokemon intros? Which ones of these fits every single Pokemon intro?

I spy running sequences of Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, Clannad and Full Metal.

Anime characters do more physical activity than I do...

Deadman Wonderland's opening is pretty much none of these things.

 

Except nine, but that's essentially universal. Oh, and birds. Seriously, why are there always birds?

Okay, but what about the Pokemon BW Adventures in Unova 3rd Opening

Seems legit

HARUHI

Running in place!!! I see that in like every anime openning period

Well I don't think this is a bad thing at all as long as the music and the scenes in the opening are good

 

It's not like that western cartoons doesn't have any of the points mentioned above

...and that's what makes them special and so awesome.
