For me it was GoT, I just thought the miniature landscapes looked way too cool. Also I am watching Kimmy Unbreakable which has a theme song that I think is pretty catchy.
Cowboy Bebop
Yes! Also, Samurai Champloo
Yeah, sharp like an edge of a samurai sword…
Nujabes RIP
For sure. Certainly the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about awesome intro.
Both the anime and the remake.
Iirc the GoT intros gave you a hint about the episode by highlighting the map areas that the episode was going to cover. But S8 ended up being so bad that it went back in time and ruined the entire series for me, so I never rewatched it and might be misremembering.
Right now I never skip the intro for What We Do in the Shadows. It’s the same every time, but the song is just too much fun to skip. I am probably on my fourth watching of that series.
I think I also sit through most of the Star Trek intros just because I enjoy the visuals.
WWDIIS has at least 2 episodes that play variants on the theme song!
If you happen to remember which episodes, please let me know! I haven’t noticed that on any of my pass throughs.
My mind was blown while re-watching The Wire (where I also never skipped the intro). I said to myself “The singers change but the song remains the same.” Then my brain blew up because that’s the entire point of the series.
S03E08 is the one that’s in Farsi!
Thank you thank you thank you!
دست شما درد نکنه

A few more I really love. I’ll add more as I remember them (there are many and I can’t remember them all now)
I liked the First Season opening for DBZ but only for like the first 50 or so episodes then it changed
Wow… why would HBO geoblock a fucking INTRO?

We got ripped off in the UK with some teardrop-like library music
They’ve since lost the rights to Teardrop so all the newer copies have that crappy theme. I had to do a lot of digging to find a version of the series with Teardrop.
Yeah currently binging it on Netflix. Library intro.
Boooo. Getting to listen to the theme is a big part of the show for me lol. I sacrificed a lot of quality just to have the theme. Pretty sure the version on my Plex is only 480p.
I listened to House MD on crappy “watchtvforfree.net” type websites over a decade ago, and I only just realized now that the theme wasn’t supposed to change every episode. I just checked YouTube for the intro and I’m super familiar with all three versions haha
I like them all in their own way, but Teardrop obviously stands out.
For me, The Expanse
- NORSE SINGING INTENSIFIES *
Westworld
Same. I thought it was a pretty underwhelming show after the first season but that theme song and seeing the printing/construction process never got old.
Peacemaker, I watched that intro every single time.
For that damn eagle, every time.
Take my love, take my land…
Take me to where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
The Expanse
Obligatory ‘came for The Expanse’. And Peaky Blinders is in a comment just about this one and agreed… And Community cuz I like the song and the series.
And the end credits too.
No love for Stranger Things intro here 😟
That music adds so much to the show, definitely worth playing it through
Futurama
Mythbusters
King of the Hill
Metalocalypse
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Sopranos.
I’m finally getting around to watching this and I haven’t skipped the intro yet.
Came to say this
Westworld .
And top gear (the proper Clarkson/Hammond/May one, not that other thing)
Gravity Falls.
