Which Anime Hitman Reborn Openings Are Fan-Favorite Songs?

I still get a kick talking about the openings that fans obsess over from 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'. From my angle — more into music theory and how a song fits a show’s mood — the fan-favorites tend to be the ones that marry melody and on-screen tempo. 'Drawing days' is a classic example: straightforward chord progression, earworm chorus, and a rhythm that matched the show’s lighter, comedic beat early on. It’s the kind of song that works as background while gaming or studying yet snaps you back to a particular scene whenever a lead riff hits.

Then there's 'Boys and Girls', which people often point to when discussing how an opening can define a season’s attitude. The track’s punchy synths and vocal delivery create this swagger that paired well with the show’s escalating conflicts; that tonal fit is why it still shows up on many fans’ top lists. Beyond naming tracks, I’ve noticed collectors and YouTube commenters also celebrate the full-credit versions and short TV edits differently — some prefer the full version’s extended intro, others favor the TV cut for its perfect sync to the opening animation. In short, the openings that become fan faves tend to be memorable musically, evocative emotionally, and tightly woven with the show’s visual moments, and those two songs check all those boxes in my book.

If you're into anime music, there are a couple of 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!' opening themes that always come up in conversations and playlist recs. For me, the one that still gets my heart racing is 'Drawing days' — it's bright, punchy, and oozes that early-series charm. I used to blast it while sketching fanart and the melody just locks into this nostalgic loop; it captures the goofy, action-packed vibe of the early episodes and transitions into something almost bittersweet when I rewatch it now. The combination of upbeat guitars and singable hooks makes it one of those songs you end up humming even when you haven't seen the show in years.

Another track that people consistently praise is 'Boys and Girls' by LM.C. That one has this energetic, slightly rebellious shine that fit perfectly with the more chaotic, character-driven arcs. LM.C’s signature glam-rock style gives the opener a memorable identity, and fans often cite it as the one that turned them from casual viewers into proper fans. Beyond those two, I notice long-time viewers also fan-talk about the later, harder-rock openings used in the Future arc — not every fan loves the tonal shift, but those tracks deliver the intensity the arc needed and have a loyal following because they match the show’s darker stakes.

What makes an opening a fan-favorite for me personally is more than just the tune: it’s the memory tied to the episodes, how the animation synced with certain beats, and whether the song aged well outside the context of the series. 'Drawing days' and 'Boys and Girls' tick those boxes for a lot of people — they’re catchy, they fit the characters’ energy, and they hold up on their own in playlists. Whenever I throw those on a commute mix, it’s an instant trip back to late-night binge sessions and frantic episode discussions with friends — simple, perfect nostalgia that still makes me grin.
