What are your top 3 all time openings, AnimeGAF?

For me;

  1. Sorairo Days - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
  2. Ai Ai Ai ni Utarete Bye Bye Bye - Samurai Flamenco OP2
  3. Hyadain no Joujou Yuujou - Nichijou OP2

I'm not even going to try to come up with an actual answer to this, since it would take aaaaages for me to go through all the great OPs I've seen and try to pick three >.>

I will, however, say that Hyadain no Joujou Yuujou is a fucking amazing song and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in my top three as well. Damn fine choice.


Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha 10 END

Plenty of feels in this ending, but I didn't feel all that satisfied with it as a conclusion. That may just be because I don't want this show to end, though. I'm going to have to go check out the manga now, aren't I. Goddammit Kadokawa that means you win >.>

One thing that's been vaguely bothering me: why the fuck would you show Kon taking human form in the OP if it was never going to happen in the actual show? That's just called being a goddamn tease. I'm still not even sure if Kon's human form is supposed to be a loli or a shota, but whichever the answer is, Kon is adorable and we needed more Kon. Curse you Kadokawa for denying me this.

Bleh. For now I will just take solace in this gif of Kon being the best part of the episode.

(Oh, and Hummingbird, fix your shit. It still thinks this show has eleven episodes. ~.~)
 
My Top 3 Openings (not in any particular order)
God Only KnowThe World God Only Knows
Modern Strange Cowboy- Needless
Gun & Roses -Baccano
 
I have so many OPs that I love so much that I couldn't possibly pick three favourites out of them right now. So instead, I'll list three OPs that I find myself listening to lately.

1. Flying in the Sky - G Gundams OP.
2. Yuusha oh Tanjou! - GaoGaiGar's OP.
3. Departure! - Hunter X Hunter.

Hm... What anime is that from?

Black Jack. It's a really good slice-of-life medical drama about an unlicensed doctor. I watched it on a whim and it blew me away.

It's based off of a manga that was written by the Walt Disney of anime himself, Osamu Tezuka.

not sure i can bring myself up to this
 
Top 3 openings. Gah... can't think clearly at the moment. These come to mind: This isn't going by just the music, but the animation as well.

1. Nagi no Asu Kara OP 2 (Directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai (ano hana, ano natsu))
2. Angel Beats
3. Inari Kon Kon Koi Iroha
 
Are we seriously going to go into 'your favorite OP is shiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiit' territory? Because I don't see you guys listing yours. Death Note OP 2 is amazing in the sense that it's fun. Plain and simple. How could you not sing along with Japanese System of a Down.

Also I watched my Baccano blu-ray for the first time to check out the quality. I have never noticed this since I never saw it in decent quality apparently, but the animation and artstyle is very... watercolor painting? Is that how you would describe it?

Like the dollars and newspapers look very artsy in a way like somebody photoshopped an actual picture into them in bad quality. Which gives it a distinctive look.

Did it always look like this?

So directly after Kitamura has his batch of episodes to sort things out we now turn our attention to Minorin. Who is acting weird since the end of the last episode. Or rather more weird then usual. I am starting to really, really like Taiga's character. When she's cheerful and more soft spoken it's actually adorable/cute.

So many jokes in this episode but I love how the show has been making fun of the Single Teacher more and more. This episode was more funny than usual. Which is odd because usually Minorin is the cause of a lot of the jokes but in this episode she was quite moody.

Relationships are forming. People are changing. So things are about to enter the feels territory. I just know it.

And we have a new OP and ED just when I was starting to like the first OP. I loved the old ED. This new one is meh.

The first two films can be watched and enjoyed as horrible comedy films.
The third film is a boring climax to a ridiculous premise and not enjoyable at all.

I seriously don't care a single bit about Anime OPs or EDs.

The less I watch them, the more episodes I can fit in a day.

I still like how Jexhius described it: Ghost in the Shell for 12 year old girls.
Still wish they did something better with the casino stuff though, seemed like a good premise gone to waste.

Uomi still the best. Onee-chan~

Who was the first person whose room Shino snuck into post-credits? That wasn't Tsuda's sister was it? No wai

Lots of different costumes in this episode.

It's already the start of the second year, but the light music club got some real problems getting new members and those costumes sure ain't helping. At least Ui is trying to help out, and after another live performance they finally get somebody to join!

bad gameplay lol
The more you keep hyping it up the less chance he has of actually experiencing them. He's already seen Clannad AS, I don't think I've cried as much as with that show (alongside FMAB's famous death).

Right, right. I shouldn't be hyping it. I'm just looking forward to seeing how he reacts to it is all, haha.

Of anger if he doesn't watch post credits

I'm talking more about
episode 19
. That one's more of a direct, concentrated feels-punch than
the final episode
, at least IMO.

What does Jexhius have against 12 year old girls?
Showing Mardock Scramble to children probably qualifies as child abuse.

Top 3 anime OPs of all time? That's a tough one.

Wait no it isn't.

1. Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP (colored normal preferred)
2. Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP (long version preferred)
3. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP (the lewd one)

This was supposed to nominally be a joke post but this might actually be my top 3 for real, don't know for sure

1. Casshern Sins
2. Baccano!
3. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

ED it's pretty easy though

2. The Tatami Galaxy
3. Robotic;Notes (OP2. Topology)

I don't often burst out laughing, but I totally lost it when Hana-chan put the pudding in the curry.

Hey, non-dickhead Kotake. He was actually alright.

Hunter X Hunter 1/2

I'm not seeing the hype regarding this show. At the moment, I am chalking it up to a slow-start like One Piece. My hopes involved being hooked like I was when I first watched Naruto. Does anyone have a certain point when this show will go into high gear, like to One Piece's Arlong Arc?

But enough of that, what I liked. I initially disliked the young age of Gon, but he seems like a cool character after the second episode. The other two characters are sharing equal promises. This show looks like it may have a budget!

With this, and Hajime No Ippo, I am currently being satisfied with anime goodness.

Favorite OPs? Don't feel like thinking about it much right now, so I'll just post:

-"Catch You Catch Me" - Cardcaptor Sakura
-"Sorairo Days" - TTGL
-"The Light Before We Land" - Gunslinger Girl

Minorin is just falling apart. Something happened in episode 16 and I am not sure what. Ami said something to Minorin that episode along the lines of
"Guilt all gone?" that clearly disturbed her and made Ami upset too
. Maybe they address what they meant on that in the next episode. Maybe Minorin is just a great friend and realizes that
Taiga likes Ryuji and they both don't know it yet
. Or maybe there was another meaning to Ami's words.

In any case I look forward to this resolution. I want to know just what is going on in Minorin's head. Clearly we know with Ami it's because she
wants a chance with Ryuji. Minorin might be the same and is why she has kept her distance
. In any case, let's see what the next episode brings.

Pokemon XY 19

Based Malamar and his evil laugh.

He better reappear again.

lol Serena's first instinct is to immediately go after Ash.

Not even being controlled will stop her from getting what she wants.

Hmm, I'll actually talk about this now cause this is the one thing that the anime didn't really explain very well. You can wait until after the ending to read this if you're worried about any implied spoilers.
Minori was under the impression all this time that Taiga liked Ryuuji, but seeing the photo makes her question that assumption. Ami, being Ami, decides to be an instigator for no real reason and this sets her off. You can probably figure out the rest from there.

the Lucky Star one grew on me, I also like how they used it for their cheerleading dance thing for the culture fest.

There is one and only one good version of the Lucky Star OP
