OPINIONS ON ANIME SONGS THAT STARTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHILDRENS'S CARTOONS

-fennekin-

Attack on Titan 1 - Really stands out from other openings. IDK how to explain or classify it, but it's different and

just so well-written.
Attack on Titan 2 - The very beginning is kinda cheesy and doesn't flow with the rest of the song imo, which is why

it's BL. Otherwise it'd be on par with the first OP.
Cowboy Bebop - Classy as fuck. It sounds more like a gangsta anime (Katekyo? idk shit about that anime, just a guess)

theme than a western/cowboy anime, which I assume is what COWBOY Bebop is, but who the fuck cares. Classy opening. Dat

ending, too.
FMA Brotherhood 1 - I think "Rain" is generally considered better. I generally don't give a fuck. Take this one. The

song's progression has this awesome buildup and gets especially catchy before the chorus comes in. Love it.
Guilty Crown 1 - I might not ever watch Guilty Crown, but goddamn does it have a good score. And this opening, man, it

likes to be pretty and it kinda sounds like it'll just stay modest the whole time, then BOOM, epic chorus is epic.
Mirai Nikki 1 - THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE dude this band is amazing. Metal with a

serene, female singer and a gothic choir in the back, it's fits Mirai Nikki so perfectly that it's scary. That said,

it's the music itself that I like. Yousei Teikoku's unique and engaging style hits all the right chords for me.
Mirai Nikki 3 - IDK why this one doesn't get talked about so much, because it even rivals the first. Okay, maybe this

is a bit more conventional than Kuusou. ...Is that it? It's more-or-less on par with the first so it might as well be

grouped together.
Naruto 4 - HEY, IT'S THAT AWESOME THEME FROM WHEN NARUTO WAS GOOD! FLOW is with Yousei Teikoku and Ling Tosite Sigure,

they can make some amazing ass openings. It's a fun little rock song with chanting and raps that aren't cheesy as fuck.

GJ
Shippuden 6 - Been a while since we've seen an entry from FLOW. There are actually other pretty great themes from

Naruto and Shippuden, but this was my second choice for a good one. Quite an emotional song with a bombastic opening

and powerful chorus. It's not anthemic like GO but suits its purpose just fine. It's a different song overall.
Sword Art Online 1 - Look, I hate on SAO as much as the next guy, but they harbor some fine ass openings. The bright

tone doesn't fit the "death game" well, but who the fuck cares. LiSA's vocals are on point in this song; there's really

something about this chorus that almost makes me cry with how amazing it is. And then it one of the catchiest endings

that almost makes me wish it'd never end. WHY DOES SAO HAVE TO SUCK?!
Tokyo Ghoul - Anyone, and I mean ANYONE that takes anime OP's seriously holds this song in high regards. It's perhaps

the most acclaimed opening of all time--for great reason. TK's voice is outstanding, and Ling Tosite Sigure is a hell

of a band. Every instrument defines the song, and it's one of the most explosive, memorable openings ever made.

-borderline-

Btooom! - Nano is another great, consistent J-rock artist. NPNG is one of the many fun, well-paced rock songs on this

list--the opening is particularly great. I guess it just didn't seem right for the Fennekin tier, but it's a step above

the Braixen tier.
No Game No Life - The only reason why this isn't Fennekin Tier is because I think it tries a little too much at the end

of the verse to change the song up, and that the chorus feels just slightly disconnected. ...Otherwise, this is

definitely top-tier and it may actually get promoted if I stop being such an asshole.
Psycho Pass - THE BEST J-ROCK BAND. Yeah, there's a lot of outside noise in this opening, this was the only version I

could find that wasn't pitched, copyrighted, extended, etc. so feel free to look a better version up. Anyway, why isn't

this Fennekin Tier? Because of the slowdown in the verse, I guess. I don't like it very much, but it DOES set up the

buff ass chorus. Definitely a great opening despite that.
Sword Art Online II 2 - Again, bad anime, amazing openings. If I was judging the full versions of these songs and not

the 1:30 versions, this would be Fennekin Tier for sure. It's not the full version, though, and therefore I think it

ends on too light of a note, as the energy from the chorus drains out and the song rushes just a bit to force the

ending. The hype is definitely here, but it's much better in the full.

-braixen-

Akame ga Kill! 2 - Honestly, this is pitched down, but it sounds REALLY good. Too bad it cut off the last couple of

seconds, which is honestly the best part of the song... Anyway, Liar Mask takes a little getting used to. On the first

couple listens, I was like "what the fuck is going on in this opening?" and yeah it tries a little too much to be

different, but it's a great theme. Reminds me of Yousei Teikoku.
Bakemonogatari 5 - A couple seconds were cut from the beginning for whatever reason. IDK why copyright is so hard on

openings. Is pirating a 1:30 segment from an anime THAT big of a deal? Fuck. Anyway, Monogatari fans might find this an

oddball choice, but it's my favorite OP from the series. Hanekawa's vocals have the right amount of fluff, but I think

the instrumentation is really what excels. The verses have an awesome pattern and the strings add a nice flavor without

being too overbearing. The whole song in general builds up pretty nicely, but it doesn't get all crazy or anything. Not

that that's a problem.
Black Bullet - I wish this was less of an electronic song, I guess. That's pretty much my only complaint about this.

The vocals and song progression are quite nice, and the choir was a nice surprise. Not much to say, just a nice,

easygoing theme.
Bleach 13 - I don't know shit about Bleach so I have no idea what the fuck I am watching right now. Uhhh, anyway.

Awesome chorus, yeah? That's what really makes this song. The beginning is pretty nice too, but the verses were a

little too "eh", I guess. It's kinda close to BL2 but I don't have a problem with it here. The full version of the song

is probably better, though I haven't listened to it yet.
Deadman Wonderland - The full version of this song has, I believe, the 3rd most views of any anime opening (4 if you

wanna count both AoT openings). WHY? Okay, yes, this opening is good, maybe very good, but it is not amazing. Like, its

popularity is on the level of Mirai Nikki, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, and... *sigh* Angel Beats!, but I cannot for

the life of me figure out why. There are other grungy themes and other themes in English... ...oh yeah this isn't

supposed to be a rant thing. I like its grunge style or whatever. It really does have a nice style, but it's not

fucking Fennekin Tier, don't get ahead of yourselves. Vocals are probably the best part. The guy's got a great voice.

(Also, whoever's responsible for the subs in this video fucking sucks.)
Death Parade - This might end up in BL, but I was expecting a little more from the chorus. It feels a little weak,

possibly due to the fact that it repeats itself. Just kinda lacks power. For what it's worth, though, it's a really

catchy opening. The call/response in the verse is the highlight.
Fate/Zero 1 - Every Fate/Zero opening vid was copyrighted or pitched, so I'm hoping what I linked is the right

substitute. Dude, this chick has a great voice. Another powerful, uplifting chorus. If there's any room for criticism,

I'm just a little underwhelmed by the pre-chorus, and the last few seconds feel a little tacked on. That's about it,

though.
FMAB 5 - I like this song. It knows its place, so it stays mellow. It's pretty easy to get hooked on this song (and it

actually is a pretty hyped up OP, though that might be because FMA is so popular), though it takes a little while to

get going.
Guilty Crown 2 - I don't understand the beginning. It's this guitar riff that has absolutely no connection to the rest

of the song. It's fucking weird. And maybe the chorus connects a little loosely. Other than that, really good OP. The

electronic buzz in the back is surprisingly nice, and the piano is the cherry on top of this song. Pretty neat. Makes

me wanna watch the anime. A little. Probably won't, though.
Kill la Kill 1 - KLK is not that bad and not that great. With that out of the way, I don't really have anything else to

say. Just a solid opening. Pretty good, but not outstanding. I guess it's the same as the anime: a lot of fun if you

don't think about it too hard. (so if you rated klk a 3 on your mal, you probably did it wrong)
Log Horizon - I quite like this one. Pretty hard-hitting, but very catchy. I'm pretty sure there's a Rage Against the

Machine influence in here, too. I don't like the "engrish" very much, though. It's quite bad, and the opening lines are

cheeiser than they need to be. The fuck does "we're ready for the punchline" even mean?
Mirai Nikki 2 - Oh, speaking of amazing English, here's the fucking Rosetta Stone right here. That said, despite the

lyrics the vocals really work in this song, and I like the loud opening that falls a bit just to build throughout the

song again. The chorus feels a bit lacking, though, except for the ending.
Owari no Seraph - Shut up Funimation, I'M TRYINA GET FUNKY. The progression of this song is superb. The opening, the

ascending verse, the bombastic chorus, fuck yeah this opening is awesome. (Shame that its anime got shit reviews.) The

one thing--ONE THING--that I don't like about this is that it ends on a VERY sudden note, so I think it's a good idea

to find the full version and jam to that instead.
Nana 1 - Sorry for the shit quality and slightly cut beginning. This one is... rather obscure. I only found it through

one of those long ass "top 100 million anime opening" videos, this really stood out from the few I skimmed. Just a

great rock song overall. I really love it. The verse builds up nicely, the chorus stands boldly, and it ends pretty

decently. It's fairly standard, but I can dig it.
Nanatsu no Taizai 2 - Perfect start. The verse is pretty awesome too, though I'm not a fan of how it goes into the

chorus. :/ There's something about the vocals, too, they're just really great for some reason, and the drumbeat really

gets me hooked. Great song, pretty good band too.
Soul Eater 1 - This feels really different for whatever reason, but this OP is thought of pretty highly by many. Which

is fair, 'cuz it does have a nice catchiness to it; the chorus has a nice hook to it and the song starts quite

alluringly. The transition from the verse to the chorus is pretty weak, though.
Toradora! 1 - HERE'S A POP SONG, ARE YOU HAPPY? The vocals are a little too sweet at first, but they work for the song

pretty well, especially in the chorus, and the back-ups push the song forward. Basically, I didn't expect to like this,

but it's a pretty good theme.

-borderline 2-

Bakemonogatari 1 - This one's a grower. Maybe it'll be Braixen Tier in a while, but maybe I just wanted to assert that

Hanekawa > Senjougahara. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go into hiding for a while, because I don't want to take

responsibility for the atomic bomb I just dropped.
Code Geass 1 - What. Yeah, I see that it's a popular opening. Don't care much. I think the horns are a bit too much,

and the song itself is just kinda boring. Just can't get into it. Just like my ex-girlfriend. RIP Lux
Death Note 1 - I dislike this guy's voice; almost sounds like he's forcing some accent or something. IDK. Plus the

transition into the chorus (and into the verse) is kinda dumb. Just can't get into this one much, but it deserves

better than the Delphox Tier, at least.
Nanatsu no Taizai 1 - Not sure if this is pitched or not. Sorry if it is. Anyway, the chorus is pretty weak--the singer

in general just sounds kinda weak. It's kinda generic, which isn't that big of a deal, I guess, but eh. This one is

just kinda weak.
Nisemonogatari 2 - Apparently this one is popular. IDK. Monogatari has a lot of weird openings. It's just too poppy for

me, but it IS kinda catchy. I don't like Yuka's singing, though.
Shakugan no Shana 3 - I actually really like the full version of this song, but the shortened opening is just... it

starts off so promising, but the pitched chorus at the end is forced so hard. It's really bad. It's only there because

the extra seconds were needed. Listen to the full version. It's so much better. (And it's Kotoko's only good song,

lel.)

-delphox-

Akame ga Kill! 1 - The instrumentation and sometimes the composition itself--they just try too hard in this song. In

the end, it's still generic, but not admitting to it... JUST LIKE THE ANIME :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bright side is that

sora has a pretty good voice.
Angel Beats! 1 - Fucking fight me. Please, for the love of god, someone fucking explain to me how this opening is so

goddamn popular. It's one of the highest rated openings of all time. WHY. JUST. FUCKING. WHY. BECAUSE IT HAS A FUCKING

PIANO? IDK I'M RACKING MY BRAIN HERE AND I DON'T SEE IT. It stays completely one-dimensional for basically the entire

song. Then the chorus escalates things a little too quickly, and frankly it's not even that good. The chorus sounds

rushed with how it starts and seems to end pretty suddenly. Just like my mentality. Fuck you, Angel Beats.
Death Note 2 - RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS ANIME IS EDGYYYYYYYYYYYYY, DEATH METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL, THE

OPENING ACTUALLY SOUNDS GOOD BUT THEN THE LAST 15 SECONDS TRY WAY TO FUCKING HARD, CONGRATS ON RUINING IT YOU FUCKS
Higurashi - It's kinda cool, but... kinda not at the same time. I like it a little too much, it has a nice unique tone

to it, but I don't like it that much. The chorus is really bland and feels rushed at the end. Kind of a shame because

it starts off well.
Kill la Kill 2 - This one is just... outclassed, I guess. It's not bad, really, but there are so many better openings

out there. It just feels really average, at best. It ends pretty nicely, though. (and garnidelia has much better

songs.)
Haruhi Suzumiya 1 - ^ Kinda the same for this, but this one actually sounds like it's trying to be great. Problem is it

doesn't try hard enough.
Shokugeki no Souma 1 - This being one of the 2 anime I'm watching this season, I can safely conclude that this is the

best anime OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!! GG EVERYONE! ...Oh, yeah, the opening. Who sings this. He/she sucks. Stop singing,

please. ...but it's not that terrible. lame opening, though. such a shame.
Spice and Wolf - I hadn't even heard of this anime until like yesterday, but apparently this opening is a big deal. I

kinda see it. Kinda. I think the full song will be really good, but as an opening it just progresses way too slowly.

There's no real kick anywhere, just a small slope upwards.
Steins;Gate - If I were ranking by the animation used, this would be Fennekin tier. It's godly. Appealing, fairly

creative, doesn't spoil anything (aside from showing characters) but is relevant to the plot. God bless this anime.

Sadly, it's just the song getting ranked. The vocals here are just meh, and that's the main force driving the song. So

I guess the whole thing is just meh. Such a shame. GO WATCH STEINS;GATE.
Sword Art Online II 1 - Eir Aoi just tries way too hard in this song. It's oversung. Many might disagree, but I can't

shake that thought off. Too much.
Gurren Lagann - Chorus is weak. Electronics get too distracting. Just kind of an average theme, if anything. But it's

fun for everyone because it has Yoko in it.

-inside joke-

Danmachi - Day 35081, I still hate Hestia with a burning passion. She's a bitch. I called her a bitch right in front of

her tits. And then I said that the opening of this anime sucks because it's boring as shit and sounds like it was made

in 30 seconds. Danmachi did nothing right and I hope you all burn in hell for making it a thing.
Shippuden 2 - NO. STOP IT. FUCK YOU. YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND. FUCKING STOP. HOLY SHIT SOMEONE HELP ME
Tokyo Ghoul Square Root Of Captial "a" - A few people walk into a room. They start playing the instruments left out, a

drum kit, keyboard, bass guitar, etc. One by one, they play some notes, not really regarding each other or thinking

about what they're actually playing. They're just warming up for whatever they were called in for. Suddenly, someone

from a speaker yells "CUT!" The musicians are then explained that they just penned the opening for the new Tokyo Ghoul.

All confused, one hesitantly asks for a second take, which is quickly refused. The man on the intercom then orders

everyone out, and that's basically how I think this bowl of corncobbed assflakes came into creation.
Gundoh Musashi - As the band name states, this is obviously the BEST opening. Ever. ...come on, it's funny. just laugh.

or i'll be BREAKING YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!
