sorry for double posting but
I kept using edit on the first

to work. 
Please tell me which ones best to show my
friends!

Personally, I think the opening for the first season is the better of the two. Somehow the 2nd season opening sounds... wrong.
That's my opinion. Eh, if you want a REALLY great opening, watch Tsukihime (Lunar Legends in the dub). Personally, that is THE best opening EVER.

Oh, goodie!
I love the first opening, but
I can't get used to the second.
It sounds sorta..retro I guess..
I've got my friend hooked on the manga,
and plan to show her the show, cause
she has bad internet.
But on other sites, they say the first opening
is better than the second.
But the same thing happened with Bleach, my
friend critiszies the show by the opening, she
wasn't going to watch Bleach, but I had looked
into that before it aired on a local TV channel.
The first opening for that show is akward and reminds
me of the second opening for Tsubasa..hmm..
It's just that beginning part that bugs me.
I've tried to see if any ones heard of it around
where I live:Nope, NONE WATCH THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE!!
It's not in English and is still being aired in japan, but
english manga is out. And Fai's in this anime.

Just out of curiosity, what the hell is Tsubasa Chronicles about? I've heard of it a lot, but I don't know anything about it. And besides, I want to add to my list of "Anime to watch"

You've come to the right person.
Okay, how can I explain this?
It's about a archeoligist named Syaoran
and his childhood friend Princess Sakura.
One day, something terrible happens and
Sakura's memory flys to different worlds.
The high priest, Yukito(CCS), sends the
2 to the dimmensional witch, Yuuko(xxxHOLIC),
for help.
Along the same reason, in another world,
old japan, a princess named Tomoyo(CCS),
sends her finest ninja, Kurogane, to help.
(I'm not exactly sure if that's the reason yet
or not)
And in another world(???), a wizard named
Fai has just put his king into eternal slumber.
But to make sure his king can't find him, Fai
must run to world to world. He then sends
himself to Yuuko.
Wen the four arrive, they each have a price
to pay for their wishes.
Kurogane gives her his sword, Fai his magic
tatto(um..), and Sakura's memory of Syaoran.
Thus the journey begins!!
I tried not to add any spoilers, so if it doesn't make
sense, watch the first episode.
It also has characters from other clamp series,
such as CCS and Chobits.
There are 51 episodes and a movie I believe.
Hope that explained some.
Want me to post the first episode?

Er... yeah. If you go up a few posts you'll see I'm quoting Roarkiller and asking him a question about his post.
Is there a problem?

Sounds reasonably insane.

That sounds pretty cool. I like the fact that all of the other clamp stories tie in (though I'm no more than kind of familiar with any of them).

Sorry, was on a 16-hr shift yesterday. Basically was working from 7am to 11pm.
I need a new job.
Anyway, a simpler summary of Tsubasa Chronicle: Basically a fantasy/magical genre series. Like fantasy, it has a group of people, obviously with astounding skills. Like a magical genre, they're out hunting stuff; in this case, Sakura's memories in the form of feathers.
Think of it as a slightly serious version of Cardcaptor Sakura. With better voices (Sakura's especially).
@Saddletank: Shigetsutan Tsukihime by Animenfo.
It's a vampire show, very sombre settings, based on a H-doujinshi game. So I say, but the company is now a full-fledged company thanks to this game, which drew fans not for its hentai, but for it's incredible storyline and plot. And it shows in the series.
Shiki is an average guy with a not-so-average ability: the ability to see 'death' in the form of death lines. The only thing stopping him from insanity is a pair of special glasses gotten from a witch which allows him to have normal vision so long as he keeps them on. And typical of stories like this, he has a horrid past (explained later in the story, since his history is, well, pretty gruesome).
The main story begins when Arcueid, a vampire with an equally disturbing past, awakened to search for the being responsible for turning her into a vampire.
In their first meeting, Shiki's bloodline is invoked and "kills" Arcueid, which should be impossible considering that she's supposed to be a pretty damn powerful vampire. Injured, she enlists Shiki to assist her.
Storyline-wise, it is very original unlike other vampire shows, where blood-sucking is the main focus. Here, the focus isn't on Arcueid, but on Shiki. Yes, not the vampire. Shiki's history is the basis of the story.
Like I said, the story is very sombre, so be prepared for more dialogue and silent scenes then you would expect. However, with a gripping storyline, you'll be glad to have watched it long enough to discover Shiki's past.
*spoilers on Shiki's past*
DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES. YES, HIS PAST EXPLAINS THE ENTIRE SERIES.
*sources from both the anime and original game*
Shiki is actually adopted, not from the Tohno family. His original family actually has a dark secret; they possess an ability known as "Nanaya" or Seven Nights, or killer instinct of sorts that makes them extremely adept in combat- or killing, actually. The choice I have personally known is just a flick knife, both in this story and another story by the same people (same powers too).
The Tohno family has an equally dark secret. Generations ago, they had a deal with the devil (or smthng, forgot the details) in order to obtain superhuman powers. Every generation, the leader of the family is the one that exihibits the strongest power. With the power, though, comes a curse; that person now needs blood to survive.
In the present generation, they had two children; Akiha is the younger sister, and (real)Shiki is the older brother. Their father found the protagonist Shiki and kept him as family.
One day, the two boys stabbed each other.
(Real)Shiki dealt the fatal wound, so Shiki almost died. Enraged, (real)Shiki was imprisoned in the basement, and Shiki was replaced as the original Shiki, so that his disappearance wasn't revealed. His being hospitalisation was put down as a car accident. This was also when his power was awakened; his near-brush with death allowed him to now see death as well.
Moving along, (real)Shiki later got possesed by the being responsible for Arcueid's curse, and managed to persuade Akiha to release him. This is how their fates were first intertwined.
On a side note, (Real)Shiki, now Roa, also sees lines; however what he sees are lines of life. This is explained by Shiki near the end, when it was clear that Roa can only see lines on living objects like people and animals, while Shiki can see the death of everything, including non-animate objects like chairs and buildings (which, after all, do have a lifespan before deteriotating).

I stopped part way down that to avoid the spoilers. You sold me on this. One I must put on my Most Wanted list. Thanks.

Really depends on your preference for anime/stuff in general. I'm a sucker for anything gothic i.e. out of the ordinary, so Tsukihime fits the bill. Plus with such a great storyline and plot, it's hard for it not to be a favourite of mine. The animation studio did one helluva incredible job bringing the game to the screen.
My only complaint is that there isn't a longer version of their opening theme, despite the lyrics being it's title (sacred moon) repeated over and over again. But then, Mr.Bean's opening/ending is the same too, so eh.
