It's 4:05 am ,I'm 22years old. I stared with Naruto openings,and finished here.Wathing my favorites shows with nostalgy. Im so glad for my childhood. Sry for my english, CZ.
I will never forget, one of the times this show made an impact on myself. In 2007, during my last high school summer vacation, I was at a seaside resort town, with my friends. One of the nights there, all of my buddies, decided to go out and party, but I decided to stay in. I was on the balcony, smoking a cigarette. I just wanted to feel the ambiance, of a seaside town on a summer night. The TV in the room behind me was still turned on, as before my friends went out, we watched an episode of X-Men TAS on Jetix. I suddenly heard the opening of Oban, and it just fit the mood perfectly. Since then, the song just evokes feelings of strength, optimism and nostalgia in me, everytime. Although, I am still waiting for 'My Chance To Shine', I am still very close to all of the people I spent that summer with. So, I guess it's not that bad 🙂🙂🙂
There's no other feeling than waking up at 6 in the morning just to catch this fantastic show and many others that were on Jetix on the weekends. Miss those days! :)
Damn... I remember watching the Danish dub of this series ages ago, using the Japanese opening. This OP just hits me with nostalgic feelings. Hope we can get a sequel story/spin-off with the familiar cast returning
I remember rushing home from school every day here in Sweden just to watch this show, of course in Swedish dub. I have looked for years but I can't find the Swedish dub which is sad since that's what I grew up with, I'm guessing you're in the same situation.
2006-2007-2008 are the years with most of my favorite anime as oban, Nana, Death Note, Eureka Seven, Code geass and many more. Great story, great characters design, very good visual quality, even today.
the first japanese opening i've ever heard (i had only watched dubbed versions before that) and it stuck so hard with me the ending song too it's incredible
I feel so sorry for North America. They didn't get an intro that perfectly fit the emotional journey of the show like we in the UK and Japan did. This was just undeniably better. Yoko Kanno was an excellent choice by the creative director.
@@boomboxradio2414 You guys are French Canadian so that makes sense since this was made in France. I saw it while visiting a foreign country so I got to see the theme song as an American.
@@rennac3152 yea even though I think I’ve watched an English episode once like then anime feels familiar like I grew up with the last of 4kids and jedex before it went off the air
First time I heard this theme was as a DVD ad for the shows release on DVD when I was a kid, finally found the show on a different site after a decade plus a few years and wanted to come here and listen to this amazing theme again
It was shows like Oban that made me want to major in cinema in college, if I ever get to adapt this to the silver screen I’m using this song in a scene of the Aero-2 flying up towards the sky
My brother didn't remeber the name who got this off the mc description. It was only after i saw the poster that i remembered. I loved this but can't remember the plot but i loved it to the point of recognizing the song beat and humming with it. Will probably rewatch it soon.
Watched this as a kid at my cousins when I was like six years old (Turning 20 this year) and never again. The other day a heard a anime melody sounding similar to the one in this into and suddenly all the memories came back from the thew times I watched this show. When I searched for the anime, I could barely recognize the characters, If it was not for my faint memory of the intro melody I would not have believed I have ever even seen this show. Just shows how much your image of something changes over time.

Yess!!!!, i no spicking english but.. Soy de chile y hace unos años atrás tuve un dvd de puca donde este opening aparecía como publicidad, por mera casualidad lo reconocí, sabia que no era el único :D
The show is pure bittersweet bliss😍😘. The nostalgia brought about by the opening and the ending themes are soooooooo fucking powerful!!! 😣😣😣 The show & specifically the story line and character development are top notch & it impacted so many young minds😊😇☺ and the ending where avatar Jordan cries seeing eva leave Oban to earth still makes me soooooo emotional and cry every single time!!!😇😢😢😣😭😭😔😰😰😖 Jordan: "Partner" ☺ "I love you Molly" 😍 "Don't say anything" 😚 "Take Care of yourself"😭😭😭
Because the French did the CGI work in this, not Japanese studios and the French have considered ahead of the game around this time in CG work in animation.
época de ouro da jetix, eu parava tudo o q tava fazendo pra assistir, lembro mais ou menos que passava às 19:30h ou as 19h, colocava até o relógio pra despertar, eu tinha uns 10 anos de idade, sdds

MY CHILDHOOD 😭😭💕💕💕 I ONLY REMEMBERED THE SHOW BY ITS SONG AND NOW I FINALLY FOUND IT
the song is perfect... back in 2006 when life was simple

same here the opening and ending were japanese
but the series was arabic dubbed:^)
So glad I grew up hearing this version of the opening on TV. I wasnt even aware of the alternatives but this is clearly the best IMO.

@@typowynieogar what dude if you think anime is the same as cartoons then your wrong!!
Rewatched this after all these years and... Ah, it was a good ride.
We used to have shows that are actually interesting. Such an amazing work
It’s weird, even though I grew up with the English opening music, this still feels comfortingly nostalgic listening to it…
First time listening to it, feels like I’ve always know that song
@@rennac3152 yea even though I think I’ve watched an English episode once like then anime feels familiar like I grew up with the last of 4kids and jedex before it went off the air

Nostalgia
I still remember oban Star races for a long time and I still got the DVDs of it
best opening ever
Can we talk about how beautiful the animation at 00:40 is?
The ending was kind of heartbreking though😣
It was this theme when it aired in England absolutely loved it
this certainly hits different after hearing this opening after 16 years, oh my
2023 cant forget this song
Man last i heard this was ages ago, LITERALLY GOT GOOSEBUMPS LISTENING THIS. EPIC!!!!!
intense, from start to finish - how it should be
This anime is so special to my heart , i genuinely wish they make a new season to it , good old days ❤️❤️
They plan to do so, but there is no new news about it

Nostalgic 🥺💕
