The last song, Crying for Rain by Minami, is just next level. It's my favorite not only on this list, but it's solidly my favorite anime opening of all time, and genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time.

So happy you enjoyed the Jujutsu Kaisen opening theme by Eve. He has a bunch of great original tracks on his channel, with a story that spans over some of the music videos.

[@kallistikaleid]

Some absolutely iconic and beloved OPs. I would recommend checking out the English lyrics of the Domestic Girlfriend song. If you found the music to best so passionate and well made, knowing what she is saying REALLY brings home the intensity and ferocity of that song. I don't care what people say about that anime. I enjoyed it immensely, and that opening song struck me hard. It instantly joined my daily listen playlist years ago. Also, the Steins;Gate OP make me fight back tears every time. As an ex-terrible bass player, I never noticed how godly the bass track was in that Oberlord OP. I was moved by having it shown to me clearly.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Awesome comment. Do you still play bass?

[@megatbasyarullah4859]

Eve really never disappoints with his songs. Glad his starting to get involved with the anime industry

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

I believe he had songs before JJK but this sent Eve to the stratosphere. It's how i found out about it and i love the music.

[@amia7z]

@@ProjectPhoenix21 he's been an utaite for well over 5 years, he was even a vocaloid producer before that, he has quite the history and the opening made Eve ridiculously popular to the point he was topping charts for that song alone.

You REALLY should listen to more of Eve's stuff if you liked the first JJK opening. He's one of my favorite artists and for a good reasons. All his songs are so beautifully woven together and his vocals are the icing to top it all off

Loving these anime openings analysis and reactions.

[@AllTheArtsy]

I absolutely LOVE all the Mob Psycho OPs. So emblematic of the kookie wackyness of the show, but also it's epic style. And the 2nd Osamu Ranking OP is just so epic. Love the warmth of the voice and the guitar

[@jurgenolivieira1878]

Thank you these reactions. I feel so vindicated for loving this music... people still at me weird some times and I've had anime Jpop/rock song only playlists for decades. Way before anime was mainstream like today. Before there was youtube or streaming in itself. It's hard to explain to others how good these are with headphones on. Especially combined with emotions you still hold from the anime. It's sooo good.

[@ukrtvi]

Nothing is better than TK from Ling Tisute Sigure for Tokyo Ghoul. This opening became legendary and back days it was one of the first things that stood out of a crowd and was completely different, powerfull and passionate. I became their fan after this song. It seems to me that this opening and song kinda changed some things in industry for popular animes (as long as the manga did in industry itself) and opened the doors for powerful perfomances in anime, as long as more kind of experimental, rock, metal stuff for openings. That day they were so different among very similar uninteresting openings, it's kinda they made a difference for such stuff as Jujutsu Kaisen openings to have a chance in future to be used, as to before very regular and not standing out stuff would be picked. their songs for Psycho-Pass openings were cool as well, and made to feel the mood of the anime, and all animes that they made openings for were cool, fresh, standing out and unique. I really think they deserved popularity they got after this sog, it's unique in its chaotics. So the last song for Domestic Girlfriend was sooooo goood, i deeply impressed, my heart is forever with Ling Tisute Sigure for Tokyo Ghoul 🖤🖤🖤

[@aymuhspunj]

Classroom of the elite's OP 1 is honestly way better.

Jujutsu Kaisen is one of my favourite anime openings ever, the chord proggression and melody resoloution in the chorus are so satisfying and get ypu into a pumped mood every time

[@jayblast3557]

MINAMI is one of the best vocal in Japan that i can really agree with

[@JMSmiffy]

Ranking is one of the best openings this year, imagery, emotion, context to story it really encapsulates what makes the anime so amazing!

[@Gunsblazin94]

The name of the artist who sung the Jujutsu Kaisen opening is Eve. After first hearing the opening song, I went and checked out his music and I'm so glad I did. The man hasn't made a bad song as far as I've heard. His vocals alone carry almost every song he's in. But, you should absolutely watch JJK when you can. Everything, from the openings, endings, ost, visuals, story, characters, action, is all top notch excellence. It's my favorite currently ongoing manga and anime series.

[@input_ur_name6357]

But the problem is you will get brain cancer trying to process the story and the ability. There is one ability which needed two full pages to be explained in the books (manga).

@@maximeroux-lacroix7219 I would rather listen to the EP of Tokyo Ghoul called 'Ally of the Masochistic House by Amazarashi' than any other soundtrack after season 2. Amazarashi created a beautiful story in the song. Its so beautiful, that you will definitely feel sad if not tears when you read the lyrics and understand the pure emotions you will hear behind the vocals. Its so unique and so atmospheric. I recommend you to check it out. Obviously, go for the full song which goes for every track in Tokyo Ghoul.

TK is fantastic (as is the band he's part of - though his solo stuff and band stuff are quite different). I'd recommend checking out more of his stuff in full version. Film A Moment is a fantastic song that I think could warrant a full video (~7 minute song).

[@konteros9850]

The full version of the Tokyo Ghoul one is even better. Lots more variety, including a big ole scream in the middle, and the song really benefits from having more time to define its different sections. But glad you like those! The music is what got me into anime many years ago, and it's made me discover a bunch of my favorite artists like Kenshi Yonezu, Ado, Bradio, Nakamura Emi, Wagakki Band, Yoasobi or Miyavi.

[@Caca-yq2di]

I’m no musician myself, but I’ve always been really interested in music and its theory. Absolutely love all of your reactions and hearing your analysis, especially to the stuff I love so much. You already reacted to the first opening of tokyo ghoul, and I wish I could see you listen to the third one! Second one is beautiful too, but the one I mentioned (Cö shu Nie - Asphyxia) is just chaos in music form. All the instruments, together with the vocals are sooo noisy and chaotic but work together so well. And the bass brings it all to another level. So interested to hear about it from a professional’s point of view. Thanks for the videos 🙏🙏

something i just found out about the mob openings today was that is is made by "mob choir" which consists of people who work on the show, so voice actors and animators are the ones who made those intros, they dont go to actual bands for it they made their own which is amazing

[@soulawaken24]

Whoever made the video with all these songs had great taste! And I also loved how Domestic Girlfriend's opening Crying for Rain was the only one that's not edited from the original MV, and in full instead of the TV version. It goes to highlight how good the MV was. That song was a masterpiece on its own, it's a pity it had to be used for such a trainwreck of a show. This MV had 169million views on KZbin and counting. Just crazy

[@MatthewGalon]

If you loved the Jujutsu Kaisen opening, you should check out the first Outro song (credits) it’s a jam. Also the ranking of kings opening in this video was one that is significantly more impactful in the context of the story itself and with its lyrics (in English captions). It’s really dedicated to being a part of the story where as a lot of anime openings are a lot more adjacent to the actual show and more to get the audience excited rather than being a compliment to the show itself.

[@fvoarin1307]

I completely disagree with you. It may be contextually better, but the visual impact was trash compared to the actual opening visuals

@@fvoarin1307 I genuinely have no clue what you are referring to. My comment was referring to the impact of the opening itself being more impactful with the lyrics to the song being understood rather than NOT knowing what the singer is saying, and that the lyrics themselves having more impact when you understand what’s happening in the show itself rather than JUST watching the opening stand alone. I really don’t get what your comment is saying, especially in reference to my comment.

Because, in my view, there would be no other reason for you to have specified "within this video" That's what my comment was getting at. But it seems, that you were specifying this opening over the first one, as that's the only other use for spcification

@@fvoarin1307 why you’re getting aggravated at your comment being unclear is beyond me. I did not comment about the visuals at all in my comment. I am aware that they aren’t the original art.
