    Ha, that's pretty cool.

    I'm more a fan of the opening music than the actual pictures - they're certainly more unique :P

    I don't know if it's due to every western show just having a few clips as an opening but i prefer the ones that are apart from the shows source material.

    They missed a chance to throw in Deathnote during the "take my hand" bit at the end. Pretty cool though!

    The 90's X-men had 2 openings made for the japanese market with Anime stylings, they looked FANTASTIC.

    Its at 2:07 and 2:54.



    And not part of that video, but yes

    The Japanest opening to X-Men looks awesome, but I must ask, why animate the characters in anime style when the characters look different in the actual cartoon?

    I'm surprised it isn't there tbh... Every opening they use is more clichéd than the last!!!

    Great video:)

    Naruto and other long running series have had a few dozen op/ed i assume that would be the reason that the video would have been more impressive finding different shows rather than selecting the aspects easily available from these long running ones.
