Pick an anime you haven't seen off of the previous user's list and rate the opening!

526

Start with me! I like the idea of using the opening for first impressions of a show. If the video is easy to find online, rate both the song and what you think is happening in the anime.

is this https://youtu.be/l6K7_bAcw9k ,the opening for the show?
- Steampocalypse 2y
  Yep!
  Kehsihba 2y
  I'd give it a 7 out of 10. It's an enjoyable song.
  
  As for the opening video, it's a bit hard to say for certain. The visuals keep looping, leaving very little room for speculation. However, if I were to make a guess, it seems like it could be either a romance with a love triangle or a mystery where the MC meets an unfortunate end, only to be reincarnated or undergo a face transplant¯ (ツ)/¯ in order to protect their beloved.
  Steampocalypse 2y
  Ah, I think you did accidentally end up with a slightly incorrect version, in which they repeat images from the opening to fill the whole song as posted on Spotify and other places. (It's been a while since I saw the show, so I didn't notice.) Your guess is entertainingly wrong haha (it's about time travel, the lyrics of the song are SUPER literal) but yeah 7/10 is pretty close to my opinion on it too, though there are some people who really love this opening.
  Kehsihba 2y
  Ohh!! my bad! :D
  
  This show sounds interesting.
  Do you recommend?
  Steampocalypse 2y
  Yeah, it's not on my top 10 but I would!

6.5/10 opening. Seems like typical school romcom.

  I am surprised, that's not bad. I expected an average score, tbh. :D

Serial Experiments Lain

9/10, absolutly mind-blowing
Steampocalypse 2y
@Arloxt
Hells Paradise
8/10, really dramatic and cool! It looks like a historical-style dark fantasy, (where people wear historical outfits and have historical personalities, but no connection to the real world) and ignoring the summary I saw on Anilist, I'm gonna guess that it's a monster fighting show combined with a serious drama, where there are battles like every episode and the protagonist kills the monsters super ruthlessly.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozakikun
5/10, it's cute I guess and very on point for your typical shoujo anime, but it has nothing special imho (though considering the date it came out on maybe I'm being unfair with this since I don't know when this trend of shoujo openings started? Maybe this is one of the firsts lol Idk)... the character designs are sooo cute tho!
- Steampocalypse 2y
  Hmm!! I'm biased but I would rate it a 9/10, despite you being right that it's a little basic. It's an anime about manga, so I like the way it uses panels and stuff in the opening, and the song is fairly recognizable and fits the tone (plus I think it sounds good lol).

BEASTARS
8.5/10 classic Yoasobi banger
I'd imagine Beastars is kinda like Zootopia but focused on a smaller scale story and definitely darker.

7.5/10, It's pretty good but not something I'll play on loop. The visuals are great tho.

Uh- also is that Groot I see?

Carnival Phantasm

So this is from where this stupid cat is... Also, what the fck is this opening xD song is fine and bouncy, 7/10 I guess.
- Ninkigal 2y
  lmao, it's fate on crack that's for sure.
  
  Iirc the cat originated from somewhere else, Tsukihime I believe, and just got popular from this parody.

Houseki no Kuni

10/10 to be honest, makes me want to watch the show. The CGI looks both well done and interesting.
- BlekDimon 2y
  @OnuOskar
  It is after all, probably the best looking full CGI anime.
  Look at a gif from this post:
  https://anilist.co/activity/583021776
  
  And anime itself is also veryy good.
  meatloaf1 2y
  That looks like something straight out of a video game
  BlekDimon 2y
  Nahh, something out of a game would look a lot worse.

  You mentioned me with Dororo... And... Nothing else? Also persone above you already picked.

@OnuOskar
Sony Boy 7/10 - it's good. As for the OP video, I speculate that it might involve a parallel universe based on my initial impressions...?

@ShadowymoonGhostFox
Ashita no Nadja 7.5/10. It seems like a show worth checking out, might have some good OST
- BlekDimon 2y
  Isn't Sonny Boy an anime without opening at all? What you probably saw was an ED, insert song or OST, idk.
  Kehsihba 2y
  Oh, really?
  I just played the first video that popped up in my YouTube search. It's titled "Shounen Shoujo" by GingNang.
  BlekDimon 2y
  Yeah, it's an ending/insert song. And ending itself dosen't even have visuals, it's just captions rolling. It's rare in anime, but not every single one has both opening and ending, some of them have just only either OP or ED. For example One Piece had ending until like episode 300 and after that they only have openings. I watched one more anime without opening at all, don't remember the name tho.
  Kehsihba 2y
  I see. okay.
- meatloaf1 2y
  As the other person said, Sonny Boy has no OP. Shonen Shoujo is the ED, which is sometimes used as an insert song, but never as an OP.
  
  You are right on the parallel universe thing tho
NyxCrab 2y
@Kehsihba
Visions of Escaflowne: 8/10. Nice visuals and a pretty sounding song. It kinda seems like some medieval "saving the princess" tale but with huge ass mechs and sci fi-esque castles which is honestly a really cool aesthetic lol.

Paranoia Agent

Yep, this is definitely a Kon anime, lol. I usually don't like watching openings in advance, but this one motivated me to finally check out this series. 9/10

HIGH CARD

Wanted to pick something that I have not heard of, and this was the only one (when it came to series).

Started off well, I liked the colors, song was meh but fit for the vibe, 2nd part of the OP felt like they had no ideas so they just went "fuck it just put some action" which felt out of place, 6/10

Very interesting visuals, I don't particularly like the... angles used for some of the scenes with female characters, though. The song itself is alright, I don't think the singer is a good match for it...
In any case it looks interesting and has a somewhat unique style, but otherwise doesn't really say anything or do anything particularly unique... 7.5/10, maybe?

Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl

This looks really cool, very obvious that it's a studio Shaft anime. The music itself isn't that good, the voice is just annoying. 6/10
LowkeySouma 2y
@OnuOskar

Weird ass anime
But 8/10 for the song
- meatloaf1 2y
  That's my favorite opening from that show lol. Definitely agree though, the anime is very weird, but the music is surprisingly good
  LowkeySouma 2y
  I just picked the best opening from a season I haven't watched yet, which wasn't that hard since I've only seen the first 2.
  I'm not that into it tbh (the anime, not the openings)

worst opening i have seen. so far. 0/10.
- LowkeySouma 2y
  I really like "Jinsei Easy?"
  I'd give it an 8/10

Dark Gathering
I would say that it's an average anime opening, 5/10.

7.5/10 this sounds like such a good song to jog to

Inconsistent778 2y
@goatquote summertime rendering op1 7/10 slow intro, would probably slap as bgm but combind with lazy visuals feels too low impact for an op in my opinion

show looks interesting tho ill prolly watch it
meatloaf1 2y
@Inconsistent778
7/10, I really like the song, the visuals could be a bit better though.

@OnuOskar
9/10, I love the trippy visuals and the upbeat/energetic sounding song, it's just a good vibe.
The Tatami Galaxy
- meatloaf1 2y
  Definitely agree. If you want to see more of these trippy visuals you should definitely watch the anime, and if you like the song then you should check out Asian Kung-Fu Generation (they're the one who made that song)
  NyxCrab 2y
  Don't tempt me or I will add it to my endless backlog
  meatloaf1 2y
  Don't put it on your planning list, just watch it right now, problem solved

I feel like I shouldn't like a lot of Masami Okui songs as much as I do but there's always something charming about them, and this one is no exception. Visuals are pretty good, 7/10

O Maidens in Your Savage Season

Cool visuals, not a huge fan of the song though. 6/10
