Title sequences of 'AW'


I'd like to know something here-- of the several title sequence formats of "AW", which was your most favorite and least favorite?

My most favorite: 1981-87. What makes it my most favorite, having recently seen the full version again from YouTube, is the way that the wreath of interlocking rings left a tunnel-like trail behind it which the viewer went through (this, I believe, was a similar concept to that of "CBS Sunday Morning" during the Kuralt years, when the CBS eye did that), and also the way that the supposed "candle" that rose from the bottom of the screen became two faces joined together in front of a big bright light, which then dimmed after the faces separated to make way for the title as it sparkled and shimmered into position in the middle of the screen. I used to think that it was very scary when I first saw it as a child, but now, having seen it from WoST and recently from YouTube, it's not really as scary as I thought; it's a rather pleasurable experience now.

See why this one was my most favorite here:

Least: 1987-96. All I can say about that one is that the two things that made it my least favorite are the opening theme ("You Take Me Away To Another World") and the cursive "Another World" title.

What are yours? I'd like to hear about them.

My favorite opening is the one you mention here. The music and the graphics were, to me, mesmerizing. I also like the end theme that goes along with this particular opening.

My least favorite would be the gyroscope opening, and the accompanying music.

Thank you for agreeing with me. This will stand as one of my favorite television title sequences of all-time, along with a lot of others.

I like the one you hate and the one you like is fine though and the last one was ok too.

I respect your opinion. If you liked the 1987-96 opening, that's fine with me. Different people have different tastes.

1987-96 is best
