Alrighty then... let's kick off the top 5 with some style.

5. Identity - Mikio Sakai - Rakudai Kishi No Cavalry
2015 (2/11)
Fall 2015 (1/4)

So... the top 5 was the absolute hardest for me to break apart. On a different day, I could easily have an argument for this being my top opening of the decade, but today, I'm locking it into the list at number 5. I absolutely love the style of this opening. The song is catchy, the art style and colour choice is done incredibly well, and the focus on the red of fire and blood is very well done. This opening actually has three versions, each changing who the main character clashes with for the last 20 seconds of the OP, so naturally I chose the last person he clashes with, because I am a sucker for those one strike, one kill kind of samurai duels. The shots establish Ikki and Stella well, there's just enough fanservice to pique your interest without turning you off completely, and the action sequences are vivid and fun. This is an absolute banger, and definitely one of my favourites of this decade. The show was actually pretty enjoyable too, though I hear it's a good thing it never got a second season.
