Are there any cases of different anime sharing same Opening/ending?

is there a case like that so far?
i don't think there are any but i am sure there could be some anime like that. what do you say?
 
Never come across this.
May be not and we might not have watched enough anime to come across this. It could have been anything.
 
I don't consider all the openings as the same.
So, may be not sure. I will have to search this for a bit but at the moment, there isn't any such ending so far.
 
It is not uncommon for animes to have samples of previous OPs in later seasons or to reuse OPs from older productions of the same anime. But I have found no examples of 2 different animes having the same OP. After some research to confirm this, I found some rumors of D-gray man and Shakugan no shana sharing the same OP Light my fire, but I was not able to confirm this as none of the seasons of D-gray man have it listed as an OP. So, while it is posable for 2 different animes to share an OP I can’t find any examples. The reason that it is unlikely is because of copywrite laws. When a company uses a song, they have to pay royalties to the writer and preformer/s. When another company wants to use the same song they have to get permission from first company as well as paying royalties so it can get really complicated until a song enters public domain which usually takes 25 years and even after it has, any new versions or covers by other performers or companies fall under the same copywrite laws.

that's detailed information
thank you so much kadenmire. and i know you are very knowledgeable.
 
I'm very sure that there are some anime that have such similarities when it comes to their openings and ending but it's definitely not going to be exactly the same thing.

then let me check with @grungie @kadenmire here
usually they knows pretty much anything and everything when it comes to anime and i am not kidding
Surely they have some detailed knowledge about this topic. But I think I hardly watched any movie or series which have similar starting or ending.
