Narrowing down the top 50 anime openings of 2023 was as much of a challenge as last year. As always, this list takes into account everything that makes the opening great (theme song, animation, composition, artwork, direction, replay value, etc) when given their rankings. So without further ado, here are the the top 50 anime openings of 2023 (according to me).
