Funny thing is, if you watched when Stand Alone Complex started, the intro was different for the first few eps. It was a montage of some of the scenes that were going to happen in the first several eps. Pretty nice looking actually. They changed it now, and especially before it aired on Adult Swim, but if you watched the series when it was first airing in Japan, you'd see the original opening. <--- Nerdy fact that isn't relavant to your question but still relevant to the subject matter of your question.
