Never seen the anime but enjoy the first OP, "Endless Story" by Yukari Tamura:

You should have given it 3 Cs.

The OP's legitimately great.
I never did finish the anime, but I've read the translations for all 18 or so of the light novels. C^3 was surprisingly engrossing for its template, so it's nice to see the series brought up again in some form.

I watched the entire Anime I enjoyed it ending ticked me off because no real closure was given this was also the series that made me like Silver Link as a studio wonky animation in this aside.

The light novel is over now, though it was ongoing while the anime aired. I've read it but haven't watched the anime, and it kept itself all throughout in that weird line where there are several drawbacks in it, but there are also enough good things to keep you going and hoping it'll get rid of the bad stuff eventually.
It never outright ditches its mostly bad comedy or harem shenanigans, but the good parts start coming through more and more often, with some volumes I'd even say were overall good at the end. Haruaki himself never stops being a completely generic dude, but most of the cursed items are good characters, and even some villains are fine later on. First impressions are kind of bad for this series (and I'd guess the anime too) but it does improve later on, though maybe not enough for some people.
The novels also have some pretty racy illustrations. Enough that it led me to thinking "this artist draws porn doesn't he" and then I found out he actually does.

The opening SONG was great. It's still one of those good openings where you can sorta tell that it's covering up for a mediocre show. I don't know how to explain it.

Part of me didn't enjoy it, I thought it was mediocre, but the OP was very nice, it's great to listen to it again after a long time. The 2nd one was okay, but the background music takes the cake.
And A- for art?

Shame there's no dub - especially since this is Funimation.

"Art", as in "Art Direction". Nick Creamer wrote that the show was visually interesting, sometimes disjointed.

One of the best OPs ever, and I've been around a long time. That wink gets me every time.

IKR, as a dub only person, it kills me that the only licensor that was doing dubs on their home releases for all their shows isnt doing them anymore.... meh...

I'm in the same boat. Enjoyed the series, but the ending left me flat. It's one of the many shows I've seen that I want a 2nd season for, and one of the many in that category that will never get a 2nd season.
