What TV show intro will you never skip?
What TV show intro will you never skip?
What TV show intro will you never skip?
Each intro is narrated by one of the main characters and each time something different is said at the end.
Futurama
Surprised I didn't see Evangelion on here (unless I missed it).
What we do in the shadows.
King of the hill.
Bluey.
Bojack horseman and lower decks
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind
Understanding is a three edged sword.
Bones
But might be cheating since it's The Crystal Method. https://youtu.be/trmaxIG-1bE
Warrior had such an awesome intro, we never skipped it.
SpongeBob SquarePants
Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
Holy shit those intros clap.
Abbott Elementary cos it's seconds long
Flikken Maastricht. Not because it’s so good but we always try to match the drum beats in the intro
I didn't like the show all that much but American Gods had possibly the greatest title sequence ever made.
It's a brilliant fever dream mixing mythology and technology, drugs and sex which perfectly fits the themes of the show. That thumping electronic music suits the neon in the titles and that tired groan at the end puts an exclamation point in the whole thing.
Moone Boy
Where's me jumper? Sultans of Ping. Absolute banger. Will never skip. May replay multiple times.
Firefly
You can't take the sky from me.
Excellent theme tune.
The Expanse. Really enjoyed the visuals of progress with that great soundtrack.
it is extremely well done
The best part about it is the subtlety. Tiny shifts across a season. Few changes in visuals across the entire run.
It is the most lovely theme song I've heard.
Dan Da Dan
I actually think their song for Mashle season 2 might be better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZN98D5_N4M
Edit: should've mentioned the band is Creepy Nuts
I watched this a couple months ago and the song still randomly pops into my head every so often. Really cool show, with an exceptional intro.
I was about to post the same.
That’s on Netflix is it any good? I always say the title like DAN DAN DAN like a dramatic reveal
I enjoy it, it's a decent twist on "nerd boy meets girl who brings him out of his shell" that mixes japanese occult with aliens, a small bit of high school slice of life, and shounen anime type battles where cleverness wins. Characters are written well, imo. Good humor.
That said, the season ends about an episode and a half past where it probably should have, on a particularly ugly cliffhanger when there were a few better cliffhangers they could have ended it on just slightly earlier. And there are two scenes, one in (I think) the first episode and one in the last episode of the season that are needlessly exploitative (not the best description) of a teen girl.
Girl is moments away from being raped by an alien probe, with alien tech-penis visibly inching towards her in the first episode. In the last episode of the season, same girl who has now regularly been a self sufficient ass kicker gets cornered in a mixed hot springs and for arbitrary reasons suddenly can't defend herself as she begins to be assaulted. Her head is held under the water as it cuts to black and the season ends. Just yuck. Apparently in the manga it's not even the end of a chapter, so the anime runners went out of their way to end the season on that.
That said, part of the inciting incidents of the show is a ghost stealing the male mc's penis. So it's not entirely one sided in terms of the sexual ick, but it seems to dwell on the shit against the female characters like it wants that to be titilating. There's no cheesecake/fanservice shots of the male MC mid-sexual assault, but there are of the female characters.
Star Trek: Enterprise
I am an evil man and I love to torture my roommates.
It's been a long road...
Yass, at first I hated it but it's my favorite intro and overall Trek now 😄
I think you'll enjoy this if you haven't already seen it.
Fuckin awesome, thank you
Game of Thrones, Djawadi's theme is amazing and captured the tone perfectly.
I love the theme too, but South Park ruined it for me. I can't listen to it anymore without hearing "Wiener, weiner-weiner..." in the back of my mind :(
Severance. Maybe it's just being a hobby 3d artist that makes every frame of that delicious intro so captivating
Visually stunning and a very catchy song too. I found myself watching it at least once every 2-3 episodes while binging.
Know where can I find a breakdown of the symbolism behind the intro?
For me, it's hard to watch. I feel like I got bungeed down into the deepest depths of the bottomless Uncanny Valley, coming back up covered in oily black ooze, but I look down at its just my hands, my clothes, my normal skin. I think I'd appreciate it more if I knew what and why what was going on.
Not a breakdown of the whole intro exactly, but this breaks down the melody musically and makes some comments about how it relates symbolically.
Gravity Falls
I love the remixed version for the finale
I knew someone would beat me to it.
Bluey
I love that they tweaked it in the Bingo episode! Especially how everyone is caught off guard when Bluey goes after Mom and Dad
Short, sweet, and catchy. They did a good job with that one.
One of my favorites.
DO YA REALLY WANNA DO YA REALLY WANNA TASTE IT??
Why is this so far down…
Too Many Cooks
🎶Too many cooks!🎶
Star Trek (TNG / VOY)
Right there with you.
Futurama
It’s so short that you might as well sit through it.
Ducktales wohooo
Bojack Horseman!
Back in the 90's, I was in a very famous TEEEE-vee show...
Breaking bad
And better Call Saul. Mostly because they're so short it's over by the time you find the remote.
Arcane.
Oh, oh the misery!
House. I feel bad for anybody who's not seen it with the original intro music.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. That song is catchy as all hell .
Peacemaker. The same catchy song and love the dance routine.
i loved the first season intro but the second was so disappointing ):
Yeah agreed on that i go back sometimes and listen to season one just for the theme then skip to season 2 episode
Babylon 5. First show to change the intro with each new season, IIRC.
The Simpsons.
There's something new to see every time! I've only just got back into watching the early seasons again recently.
plus the rewarding couch gag.
I think that Banksy's couch gag broke something in me. I stopped watching the Simpsons about then.
Black Sails
Bear McCreary's music is such a masterpiece.
Definitely. The parsons farewell is great too
What we do in the shadows
Battlestar Galactica (the remake with Eddie Olmos) . It changes throughout the series, and it highlights important bits.
I'd say Firefly too, but that's just because it's awesome. Airwolf was the same way, back in its heyday, and it was cool in ways that knight rider wasn't.
But I'm here only for Battlestar today. So say we all.
Star Trek Next Generation
Now with doppler effects!
Peacemaker, love it
Angel and Buffy.
Silo. I like the music so much!
...and also: Gargoyles!
One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again!
We are defenders of the night. We are gargoyles!
The Sopranos!
Commendatori!
Daredevil, it's spectacular
Star Treks Voyager and Lower Decks.
The lack of Neon Genesis Evangelion on this list disappoints me.
Why though? Apart from the fact that every next episode the theme starts to hit differently, but still matches the tone of the overall theme.
Band of Brothers. The intro is so long, but feels like an important part of the whole experience.
GUMMI BEARS, BOUNCING HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE!!!!
Also, literally eating gummi bears right now.
Resident Alien, mainly because they change the graphics for every episode and throw in a gag.
Bobs burgers
avatar and legend of Korra. they're just banger intros
Serial Experiments Lain
whoever skips the x-men intro deserves to be thrown into the ocean
Samurai Champloo and totally different genre but Craig of the Creek
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
