The end of the year has certainly snuck up on all of us, which also means it’s the final anime season of 2025. I asked you to choose which opening theme was your favorite of this fall season and now I can give you that answer! There were a lot of returning shows and quite a few new ones to choose from, making it a difficult decision, but let’s now see which OP landed at the top of the list. #5: Gachiakuta – "Let's Just Crash" by Mori Calliope (5% of the votes) Gigi Murin voice: “Mori Calliope.” This is certainly a wild opening, even if we were just looking at the visuals alone. From cool action shots to neat group shots of characters in front of graffitied walls, it’s a smorgasbord of fun animation. On top of all that, you’ve got Calliope’s wide range of vocals that showcase how she can do screams and melodic singing all in one fell swoop. Combining all of that together makes for a very rad opening that gets you extremely pumped up for each episode. #4: My Hero Academia – "The Revo" by Porno Graffitti (7% of the votes) It’s always fun when a series revisits an artist from an early season, especially when it's one that did the very first opening, as My Hero Academia is doing here with Porno Graffiti. After nine years we’ve reached the final season and nine years later we get Porno Graffiti doing another opening for the series. They’re also doing fun things with this opening as they’ve updated it as the show has progressed this season which is always a neat touch. This is a fun opening that even though it’s not quite been a decade since My Hero Academia debuted on TV, gives you a slight feeling of nostalgia to end the series with. #3: The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess – "Black Flame" by Kid Phenomenon from Exile Tribe (10% of the votes) With the way this opening theme sounds, you’d imagine you’re in the club listening to a sick DJ set and barely being able to hear your friends talk to you. This OP does give the idea of you should dance to it in its second half, but I don’t know if ballroom dancing is exactly what you’d have in mind when listening to this. We’ve really got a fun opening here because it’s definitely not something you’d expect when you just look at the title of the series alone, but it’s such a groovy track that you can’t help but get down to it as it plays. #2: GNOSIA – "Bake no Kawa" by MAISONDes feat. Kobo Kanaeru, Kasane Teto, Giga & TeddyLoid (14% of the votes) When you’re a game with a lot of mystery attached to it, you need some funky mystery music and this opening is that and then some. Featuring an incredible array of talent including Hololive Indonesia’s resident water gremlin Kobo Kanaeru, vocaloid Kasane Teto, and famed producers Giga & TeddyLoid, this is an all-star line up of musicians. The animation also leans into the mysterious nature of the game/anime, leading to a well done mix that truly showcases why you wanna stay tuned to find out what’s going to happen next. #1: SPY x FAMILY – "Hi o Mamoru" by Spitz (28% of the votes) SPY x FAMILY has always been able to have openings that are relaxing, in spite of how, at times, the series can be a little stressful. This opening in particular does a good job of showcasing the innocent nature of childhood as depicted in the first half, where we get to see a bunch of kids playing, including Anya and her friends. That all ties in pretty well with how this season opens up with the Loid arc that allows us to see his childhood and the tragedies that shaped him into who he is today. This SPY x FAMILY opening also does a good job of showing us how Loid has been able to have this newfound family with Yor, Anya, and Bond. It highlights how they're slowly but surely changing him, despite this family being just for a mission. There’s a warmth to this family, and that’s even shown as the opening progresses from singular colors at the beginning, to darker tones in the middle, until we are fully enveloped with color by the end when it’s Loid and his family. Also, this OP has Bond get wings and fly, which is very silly and fun. Congratulations again to SPY x FAMILY for climbing to the top of the board and being your favorite OP of the fall season. A big thank you to all of you who cast your vote as well!
