Q: Which shonen anime's opening sequence is just awesome to watch?
Deadman Wonderland. I dislike the actual anime, but the op is really great.
Kiznavier. Haven't seen the show, but the op is super trippy and cool.
Jojo Part 5. Everything about it fits so well.
Boku no Hero Academia 3 opening 1. It's really well done, builds slowly, and the music fits what's going on very well.
Edit: Oh this is specifically shonen. Oh well, I'm sure at least two of these are.
Durarara!!

My favorite is either "Record of the Lodoss War: Chronicles of a Heroic Knight"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Ee6PJvek4
Or Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood first opening:

Almost all of the FMA:Brotherhood openings are just awesome though. They are all toward the top of my list.

I never really pay attention to what 'shonen' is, so I cant really answer. (I mean, of course I've heard the term, but I couldn't look at anime and be like, 'this one is, this one isn't.')
Paranoia Agent

Does Boogiepop Phantom qualify? Well, the song is great.

I love the death parade opening.
Well at least it does peak my interest. What is Death Parade about? Apparently it has something to do with gambling. It brings to mind Kakegurui, which also deals with gambling -- although you can't really tell how much from the opening:

Not one of my favorite openings, but it is kind of hot. :flame:

I HATE TO LOVE YOU, BUT I DO!!
For Clayton_n, the Hell Girl: Three Vessels

HOLY CRAP! Did you see that at 0:27?
Was that people in Hell I was watching?! Heeby...
Gungrave?

I think I may start a Gungrave thread. Stay tuned.
The Promised Neverland has a great op, the full song is so good.

^ Looks. . . . A bit confusing. What's it about? There are a lot of kids shown in the opening, but I have a feeling this is not a kid's anime.
Jojo part 1 and 3
One Piece, Ennis Lobby arc.
Naruto Shippuden, Blue Bird intro.
^ Somehow I do not remember this opening. Was it from the second season, because I only saw the first?
I would say

I prefer ending theme and insert songs more.
umi no yuurei by Kenshi Yonezu

All of the Full Metal Alchemists openings.
