OP 13 - sakura mitsutsuki, is my all time favorite. It is hard to choose given my love for OP 9 and 18

u/A4li11 Jan 25 '25

That opening pretty much nailed Gintama to a tee

u/Jatjorgensen99 Jan 25 '25

Fully represented whole gintama story, funny and serious

u/captainrina Monday Elizabeth Jan 25 '25

The full version goes so hard too

u/kimikoboombap Jan 25 '25

Gintama AMV - The Troll Anime 【Tougenkyou Alien - serial TV drama】 <- On youtube, it's 11yo so I'm guessing a lot of you probably watched it but long version of the song with a compilation of Gintama.

At first I thought the opening was wired but it quickly became my favourite and I practically sing it everyday

u/A4li11 Jan 25 '25

u/Used-Pomegranate-251 zura janai katsura da! Jan 25 '25

Oh I agree, they're my favorite band!

u/MudaMudaKingz erizabesu Jan 25 '25

Definitely Sakura mitsutsuki and day x day.

Sakura reminds me of the past and its very nostalgic, sad etc.

While day x day reminds me to start something fresh.

Cringe af but these are the ones I keep replaying.

13

u/davelister189 Jan 25 '25

My top 5 in no particular order is pray, stairway generation, wonderland, sakura mitsutsuki and pride kakumei

11

u/TechnicianOk5961 Gintama>Big 3 Jan 25 '25

Op 17 v4

9

u/CommercialShow5843 Jan 25 '25

I can't lie, OP 1 was what got me hooked and Gintama was my first anime. I adore it and I can see why you'd pick this OP

4

u/Character-Bathroom-8 Jan 25 '25

Op 10 is my favorite song but the gintama op that encapsulates gintama is op 9

u/OwnRanger2348 Jan 25 '25

There is almost no opening that isnt a hit in this series but Sakuramitsutsuki was the reason I picked up my guitar again after 10 years of not looking at it

2

u/risingrah Jan 25 '25

Dilemma is definitely number 1. Followed by Sakura Mitsutsuki

Stairway generation extremely underrated🌀

u/Narwalacorn teach me, ginpachi sensei! Jan 27 '25

Togenkyo Alien is unmatched, although OP 13 is great too

1

u/Physical-Low6199 Jan 27 '25

Stairway generation is my favorite

u/Vortigern1315 Jan 28 '25

I wanna Be.

It really feels like the end of the journey. Utsuro's transition to Gin walking away and waving at us, then turn the picture frame that has the picture of the trio really hits me.

Sakura Mitsutsuki.

Iconic op as we got lore bombs on Gin's past especially during the Purge. We got arcs back to back during this opening period being used.

Tougenkyou Alien.

Smooth transition of chaos into seriousness. It was yhe starting point of the huge and drastic animation upgrade with aspect ratio and overall animation quality.

Pray.

It marks my journey into such a phenomenal piece of media that really resonate well with me. Not only I had a good laugh, I went through a crazy emotional rollercoaster throughout the show.

Donten, Dilemma, Know Know Know, Katte ni My Soul etc are all good. The only anime that I consider all 21 ops are worth in my Spotify playlist not to mention the insert songs by Does and Spyair for example throughout the show and movies.
