What's your favorite anime theme song?

Oddly enough, mine is actually from Italy:

The Italian theme for Cyborg 009 is fun too:

As far as I'm concerned, NOTHING beats the Cowboy Bebop theme. Not only was this probably the best anime ever made, the intro song by Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts is incredible.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooot

I prefer one hundred times Space Adventure Cobra and Lupin the third!!!

-Bebop for me is just an amalgam of those series with a lot of tarantino and good music but nothing more!

Even though the whole Bill Cosby/"Pokeman" meme is a little bit old at this point, the "Cosby Bebop" parody still makes me laugh every time:

Trinity Blood does have a great opening theme.
Some of the opening/closing songs from Bleach are good--others may be good but they're not my cup of tea.
I liked some from Rurouni Kenshin, and Twelve Kingdoms had some good music, too.

Hellsings opener: World without Logos

I play guitar as my passion--when I can at the moment--and World Without Logos is a cool Rock/Jazz groove in Em. Very fun!

Space Battleship Yamato: 宇宙戦艦ヤマト Opening. The American dub (Star Blazers) even used the same tune: Star Blazers opening

Jet_J., here is the Japanese version of the first one you posted: Ougon Bat opening
