The 10 best shonen openings since the 2000s

Anime is the passion of otaku but without a soundtrack there is no quality experience. The truth is that the opening and ending sequences with their art and music track can completely change the aesthetic experience of the story. And for this reason, I bring you some of the most touching intros of recent years, check them out here and tell me if you agree.

Don’t you think that a well-balanced intro makes a difference? Maybe an ending! For example, the second of Delicious in Dungeon and that of A Condition Called Love They have dominated the internet. Also, I assure you that you sang openings from your first anime even if you just said washu washu, because boy, the feeling: THE FEELING. In short, it is quite an experience that we are able to connect with music with lyrics in another language that is further away from us than English.

For this reason, I think this is one of the most deserved top 10. Also, a little updated, because although the opening of dragon ball It will always be epic, well, the new ones also come with their own thing and only the years will tell us if they will survive the community. Without further ado, I present them to you.

1. Blue Bird from Naruto Shippuden

Of course yes, you can’t deny it to me, this is one of the most popular openings and for good reasons, from the voice to the emotional sequence of the characters’ presentation. Watching Naruto fall is simply a beauty.

At this moment Sasuke and Naruto were still not even close to reconnecting, and there were many problems with the jinchurikis, on the other hand, the ninja war, the death of Jiraiya, among many other things was not even close, at that moment, The ninja spirit was sustained by longing and the path of reunion.

Yes, still fresh ninjas with an equally comforting opening. How the years go by! And that is from the delivery of Shippuden. You can see the work they put into the shinobi saga.

Remember that Boruto is a sequel to naruto and currently, the new part of the manga began its serialization on Shuēisha. Let’s see if the shinobi’s children can be as prolific as their father.

2. We Are! from One Piece

I’m not a fan of One PieceIn fact, I try to stay away from the more than a thousand chapters that currently make up the series and which also don’t seem like they’re going to stop anytime soon. However, The opening special resonates in my head.

Yes, of course I can hum it, and that at anime conventions, even the smallest ones, it sounds loud, and it definitely makes me nostalgic. If you say you don’t, I think you’re lying.

Furthermore, the introductory sequence with the sea, the monsters and the wave of the flag are a narrative merit for the shonen. It is simply one of THE MOMENTS of One Piece and a legacy for shonen history.

Full Metal Alchemist It is one of the most intense shonen and not as extensive as the entire saga of installments that we already know. It rose to the top of popularity for its impeccable story and character development.and even received a new adaptation.

And its opening was also a resounding success. I know that many say that Japanese music all sounds like an opening and that, for example, the opening of Monterrey are the songs of Primavera Club. We otaku know that the staging of Japanese music is quite fruitful and

4. Haruka Kanuta from Naruto

And you, do you remember how you started your ninja path? Oh, I listen to Asian Kung Fu Generation and of course I remember it like it was yesterday. Seeing Naruto’s smile for the first time is simply a canon event.

5. Peace Sing from My Hero Academia

I am not a team My Hero Academia, but not even remotely, we know that Deku’s story is quite strange with the influences of the gringo heroes and then with the jump to the dark Midoriya, but the beginning of the hero’s journey seemed more than promising and even more so with the delivery of Kenshi Yonezu —It is worth mentioning, yes I am team Yonezu—.

In the intro we can see the heroes with confident poses while they stretch, a real privilege!

6. Kaikai Kitan from Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen It is here to stay, it will be among the most important shonen; and the opening in which it presents each of the sorcerers focusing on Gojo and Yuji is a gem, in addition to the music having a very unique tone.

7. Gurenge from Kimetsu no Yaiba

Everything that LiSA sings is wonderful and is destined to be a success, her voice is simply wonderful and together with Ufotable’s animation she always goes for the best. The first opening of Kimetsu no Yaiba and that of Fate Zero They are truly something one could cry with.

8. Chainsaw Man Kick Back

Chainsaw Man and Yonezu arrive to radiate authenticity, the different opening and ending sequences of the first season were a very exemplary work, if I may say so. From the animation patterns tracing important movies to the tones and different types of sounds. Denji is a gem of a dark shonen character!

9. Hey Kids! by Noragami Aragoto

Noragami He just finished his manga in an exemplary way, We hope to see its animation again with a spectacular opening like the one it received in the beginning and stole our hearts, do you remember it? I DO!

10. Fire by Dororo

The remake of Dororo It was a delivery we didn’t know we needed to break our hearts into truly tiny pieces. And of course the opening of Asian Kung Fu Generation once again filled us with positive and melancholic vibes.
