Men In Black: The Series - Opening

Up until now we've seen both music videos and music clips from movies. But there's another kind of Animated Music Video out there - television show intros!

Most Japanese anime shows feature fully custom-animated intros, set to either custom or contemporary music. However many animated TV shows in America, especially older ones, include clips from show episodes. This is primarily due to budget and time considerations, as it is both cheaper and quicker to re-use already-created animation for a show's intro sequence.

Some American animated series, however, have openings featuring completely custom animation and music. An example of this is 1997's Men In Black: The Series. MIB:TS's opening's beautifully-done animation is set to bizarre, futuristic techno riffs by composer Jim Latham, and it sets the tone for the series itself.

To paraphrase Agent J, "It makes this series look good." Click on the pic below to view the clip!
