Video 1 - (ABOVE) Bakemongatari Episode 1 OP - SHAFT, the people that brought you the Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei anime, which shares the same art style.
Video 2 - Bakemonogatari Episode 2 OP - Seems SHAFT has lots of time and money on their hands that they can give another opening for the second episode. A bit disappointing since it looks like it has nothing to do with the anime if you didn't pay attention.
Video 3 - Canaan OP- Honestly, I had zero interest with this show with those short previews but when I saw this opening, I instantly put it on my queue for this on my season's to-watch list.
Video 4 - Spice and Wolf 2 OP - The sequel to Japanator's much-loved Spice & Wolf anime is here and it looks hot.
Video 5 - Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 OP - Much like the show it's replacing on Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot this season, Eden of theEast, this is another anime that deals with decimating Tokyo, but this time it's because of a natural disaster. I hope this show has HYPNO-PENIS in some form or fashion.
Video 6 - Aoi Hana OP - JC Staff, my favorite studio, gives us another very beautifully-made anime that has some yuri romance. Easily one of my picks from this season.
Video 7 - Umineko no Naku koro ni - A murder mystery set in a private island mansion set in the late 1980's. Love the orchestral choir music.
Video 6 - Zan Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei - The third season OP of Sayonara Zetsobo Sensei is a bit of a disappointment since it's quite obvious that they're busy with Bakemonogatari.
Bonus Video - Here's something REALLY LATE for you AMERICANS out there who wanted something for last last week's 4th of July celebration ...IN AMERICA!!!

Oops, thanks for that! I've been busy lately and haven't kept up that much with it. I was thinking that they were both on the Noitamina thing and got them mixed up.
I remember having heard the openings for Bakemonogatari will be different in each episode.
And that opening for episode 2 is probably a rather cheap one actually. It's just some photos and a stapler done in 3d. Not much real animation except for Senjougahara at the end.
That they actually have two shows going at the same time shows that they've grown though.
