Just for fun, I thought I woud rank the opening themes to the ten anime series I've completed this summer! These openings are ranked by my personal enjoyment, emotional connection, how the opening sets up/fits the series and the song itself.
DISCLAIMERS:
1. This is only my opinion
2. Multiple seasons of a series, such as 'Black Butler' and 'Clannad' have been put together.
3. Two of these openings are from series that I just recently finished watching and have not reviewed yet, so look out for another '2015: Summer of Animes' post
Hope you enjoy!

10. Nightmare - The World from Deathnote
This opening grew on me the more I watched it. It leaves the viewer with a sense of mystery about the series, introduces the characters relationships and paints protagonis Light Yagami in a very "interesting" light (no pun intened).
9. UNDO - Cool Joke from Fullmetal Alchemist
Of all the intros used in the original Fummetal Alchemist series, this is by far my favorite. A super catchy tune set to shots of Edward and Alphonse Elric as they continue their journey. This is an OP I could listen to for a long time before getting tired of it.
8. Monochrome Kiss - SID from Black Butler
Like Black Butler itself, this opening is made possible by the shots and actions of one character: Sebastian Michaelis *swoon*
7. Colors - Flow from Code Geass
Code Geass is an amazing series which you should definetly check out. Any anime fan has seen or at least heard of it and knows this opening solid. I wasn't crazy about the opening at first, but as I continued and finished the series I apprecitated it more. A very nostalgic feeling.
6. Cause I Feel - Nothing's Carve in Stone from Psycho-Pass
When I first heard this opening I COULD NOT stop listening to it. It was more than an addiction, so sufice to say this OP holds a special spot in my heart. It captures Psycho-Pass as a series perfectly and will stay in my head for hours on end.

5. Guren no Yumina - Linked Horizon from Attack on Titan
There's one word to describe this OP: Epic
Epic music set with epic animation to make for a truly epic series

4. My Soul, Your Beats - Lia from Angel Beats
This OP is very different from the rest. Instead of giving us a fast paced "let's go" kinda feeling, this opening slows things down and gives us a beautiful track along with stunning animation. I am always especially happy when piano is used in opening such as this one.

3. Core Pride - UVERworld from Blue Exorcist
This OP is so different from anything else I'm surprised I enjoy it so much. A combination of Japanese Rap, rock and jazz saxaphone, this opening is one to remember. Plus blue flames!

2. Pre Parade from Toradora
This OP for me is near perfection. From its animation to catchy song, this opening for Toradora perfectly captures what the series is about and gives us many small, hidden teasers of what's to come in the series. Pure pureparedo!

AND FINALLY.....
1. Toki Wo Kizamu Uta - Lia from Clannad: After Story
This OP to Clannad: After Story is simply amazing. The track, characters and entire series provokes so much emotion that will take you on a feel journey, and maybe have you stop to think about life. Truly amazing.
HEADS UP: I'll also be creating a similar post where I rank the endings from the same ten series! Viva anime!
