ITT: Anime OPs that you love

i watched the first couple eps of that and loved it but got caught up in other things. tell me its wonderful and that i should go back to it

 

I wanted to put the kiznaiver op on here but because of copyright I can't find the video or the song ;-;

 

it's wonderful & you should go back to it (and tell me what you think of it when you do bc i am dying to talk to someone about it)

it honestly didn't really grab me until after the first 7 episodes or so, so if you already like the beginning I think it's defs worth sticking around for the rest. the animation gets pretty rough as it goes on but other than that i just adore it.

 

if you like it you should watch gundam seed. idk if youll like that and i know im the guy who wont stop talking about gundam but the reason i rec that is bc not only does it have some of the same staff (i believe, not sure how much tho) but infinite struck me as that minus the gundams. like teen drama in space on a cramped spaceship.

 

thanks! i actually saw gundam seed before ryvius, it's been forever but i liked it at the time. it defs has the same character designer and some of the same voice cast iirc.

i wouldn't characterize ryvius as turning out to be quite the same sort of show, it becomes a lot more sociological? like it's kind of lord of the flies-ish in that it's mostly about the kids' efforts to survive/cooperate. but yeah it does share some elements.

gundam seed gets a lot of **** for sure tho lol, gat dang.

 

ok well yeah i only watched two or three episodes har. it does. makes me cry bc i think people judge it for the drama and dont look at the interesting sci fi things it has going on. plus i dont think the drama is bad at all i think its kinda good and realistic for a group of kids. ALTHOUGH im making these statements based on memories of a show i watched like 10 years ago now. wow. 10 years.

 

i mean a main complaint I remember people levelling at it (putting destiny aside) is that kira is whiny/annoying for being upset about having to kill people. which to me was kinda like... well of course he is tho. he's just a kid. there was some stupid stuff in there i remember (how the end of the show is all kira is the super secret special best coordinator EVER!!!11) & it's things like that that make me feel like it didn't handle all of its topics well. but i kinda wonder if the hate it gets is mostly bc of destiny. iirc it was suuuper popular in japan so maybe it just did not resonate as well overseas.

same here tho, been about a decade.

 

right i thought the same thing about kira. i very distinctly remember (hope its there when i go back and rewatch) a scene where he's screaming at people saying how people keep depending on him because he's a coordinator and he's just trying to keep them alive but hes not all-powerful. i love the idea of the coordinator. making the show about fictional racism except its not race its genetics and that is directly tied to the separation between the people in space and the people on earth is just genius. but yeah, making him the super coordinator was pretty stupid. its that typical thing of the main character is the most important person to ever exist except you didnt know that until the end. i hope when i go back and watch it it makes more sense than i remember. destiny took that coordination thing a step further from altering genetics to completely pre-determining what a person will be in life and for that i appreciate it. i dont remember destiny as well but i do remember liking it.
also a+ to seed for having scenes where its just kira sitting in the cockpit tuning the strike and rewriting/editing the os (gundams have a ****ing os that needs adjusting based on the type of pilot. thats the best thing ever i love it) and its all dirty and stuff bc people bring him food and he doesnt clean. like this kid is way overworked and he doesnt even really care about the war he's just trying to keep the ship from sinking so he spends all his time in there and he's all stressed out. thats some top tier attention to detail you dont normally see in this kind of show. not that seed's hard science fiction or anything but it tries its best.


but yeah from my understanding the west doesnt like seed all that much yet those japanse people love their kira yamato.

i need to go back and rewatch these. i always talk them up and say how the criticism thrown at them is not entirely deserved but for all i know they could be awful. there are ideas and images and basic plot points i like but im very fuzzy on how it all comes together

 

since this thread is still going, i might as well contribute some of my trashy OP tastes lol (there's way too many so be warned)

Spoiler: a crap ton of Naruto ones

^ the last two probably have the most nostalgia attached bc my dad and i used to watch the subs right when this arc was in full swing

Spoiler: so many OPs
