Without theme songs, many cartoons wouldn't be as memorable.  What are some of your favorites?  I really liked the original English Pokemon theme, and the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme.

Second season of the Swat Kats is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdqpWiBliw

Also, like the opening music of Johnny Quest for some strange reason. I watched that cartoon before I could talk, so it's probably nostalgia factor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_uYJySWlco

Hi,

Digimon Frontier Theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUSzqnjakGM&feature=PlayList&p=106CAD2A01D2A604&playnext_from=PL&index=7

Omg, that is bad! Ever heard the original Japanese ones? Those are far better, than the English versions. Luckily in Germany they just translated the lyrics and did not change the whole soundtrack like in America.

Digimon Adventures

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnaGBYqzB8w

Digimon 02

Digimon Tamers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnRg-34hp9k

Digimon Frotnier

Some others I like:

Ranma 1/2 (Opening 2)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGolo9n0aK4

The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIKRn1dbT28

...and ending

Street Sharks

The Pink Panther's theme.

Here is the Terry Gibbs band playing it. The pianist is Henry Mancini, the composer himself!

Then, there is also A Shot in the Dark, written for the second movie, but also used as the theme to "The Inspector" cartoons which aired with the Panther ones.

Ahh, that brings back good memories. My favorite show back in the days, despite the fact I could only watch it on RTL, which meant German dubbing. Had to guess what they said, but still found it awesome.

Definitely Pink Panther

followed by Gunsmith Cats (Asper, I think you'd like this show)

Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force was pretty cool

followed by the theme song from Wolf's Rain, which was previously mentioned,

Though the best, and most ridiculous opening has to be:

CADILLACS AND DINOSAURS

The Manga is good if your a gun nut, but the action doesn't really work in comic form. It's realistic gunfights and as such get's confusing. I've got the anime, but never watched it.

I won't go out of my way to buy manga, but I found it cheap at a yard sale, only number 2 though, not bad, I like it

I used to be heavy into anime, and had it on DVD, I sold it for $5, now the DVD is worth $40+

How could I forget Anime openings.

Cowboy Bebop - Tank!

(Full Version)

Trigun

Tenchi Muyo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IglHMK4iu4&

Tenchi Universe - (Bit of a heads up, this is one of those songs that has a misheard line, it says it twice throughout the opening and it sounds like, "anal you should try it," but that isn't what it says. I forgot what it did say, but it sure wasn't anal)
