I really like show intros. I really do. It probably comes from my time staring, wide-eyed (and, in this utopian past we’re constructing in swift, broad strokes here, undoubtedly optimistic and with no concerns for the future… uh… well, shit.) at all the 80s intros I love so well when I was a child. Sometimes an OP will be the thing that actually gets me into a show. I hadn’t really heard anything about Lucky Star when it came out, but I saw the intro and thought it was really funny, so I checked out the show. So I had to reserve one of my twelve days for the best OP of 2008. Now, not only is this subjective, but it concerns itself with openings I saw in 2008, not openings that premiered in 2008. I may try to talk the folks at Super Fanicom into doing a best-of for 2008, but until then…
