List the opening and ending theme songs form anime that makes you have shivers down your spine. It can even be just the music video by the artist if you feel the opening animation was not that great but the song rocked.

Here are some of mine:

Orguss 02 first song, though the second is not bad.

And I could go on. so what are other folks favorite openings and endings?

Here are a few anime series with opening and closing sequences I like:

Samurai Champloo - I think that the masculine/feminine contrast between the opening and closing sequences is interesting. I've had all of the music from this show on my iPod for a couple of years.

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OuRajFzMYI

Closing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGQAQSUTcns

Phoenix - Again, I think the contrast between the opening and closing is interesting. I also think that the opening has a very epic feel to it that sets the tone for the series really well.

Closing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NKOVHpyt2I

Dirty Pair - I like the visual design of this opening sequence a lot, and I also think it captures a lot of what I find to be appealing about 80s anime.

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZZuc1ItbEA

Closing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLma9sYvFZo

Giant Robo - The opening sequence of this show still gives me chills every time. I love the designs of all of those weird Big Fire robots! The music is awesome too.

Orguss - I don't remember being a big fan of this series when I watched it, but the ending song stuck with me. I was sad to hear that the guy who performed it died recently.

Patlabor - Another cool opening and song. I only learned recently that Patlabor started as a parody of Gundam (sort of like how TMNT started as a parody of Daredevil and Ronin).

Ambassador Magma - I've never seen this series, but this closing sequence really makes me want to.

BTW, if you like the Urusei Yatsura theme song, you'll probably enjoy this:

Another batch

Romeo X Juliet, I was very surprised by how good this series is. I highly recommend it to anyone in to anime or not into anime. It fan services Shakespeare.

Darker Then BLACK opening 1- this is a good manga series, the anime is good, I do enjoy the opening.

MONSTER opening and ending- one of the best manga and TV series, by one of the best manga writers in Japan, Naioki Urasawa.

Kekkaishi- great manga, good anime series. Sadly it ended only a quarter the way through the story. But you can still read what happens next in the manga.

Monster is currently airing on the Sci-Fi (sorry, I mean SyFy ) Channel on Monday nights. I haven't watched any of it yet, but I have all of the episodes so far recorded on my DVR. I've read a little bit of the manga series, and I like it so far.

Oh man it is a great series! so many twist and turns and the anime is exact to the manga.
