[@Chhjmmkg]

Exactly. Also, that one song is good enough to be repeated 1000 times as an openings. Also, to us the small changes in the words and the visuals mainly hit different. The score throughout the anime, from kurapika's theme is beyond epic. And the show is just the best at its best moments.

You're right.. but then why do people recommend HxH to reactors who aren't familiar with the series because you can only react to the song once and if you don't know the show the visuals mean nothing lol The combination is interesting for people to react to, but HxH doesn't provide that.

When it comes to anime openings it’s not just the song people want you to react too, it’s mainly the visuals of actually reacting to the show, if people wanted the music only they would just say the name of the song not the anime when giving suggestions

[@sterlingmuse5808]

These openings actually ARE different in the audio department. There's two versions with different lyrics used, because they pull from different parts of the full song. With that said, the visuals are very different overall. In addition, the final two OPs put some kind of sound filter over the song, so they do actually sound a bit different and as a result OP4 is my favorite. I second all of the people saying to react to the endings though, and maybe the 1999 anime's OPs if you feel like it. All of those will be more interesting than watching the same song 5 times XD

[@nanistudio4584]

[@alex_156]

The song is the main thing we want you to check out but the visuals are also important too, its fun watching you try to figure out the show so don't just disregard the visuals. Also you need to check out the HXH outros, I'm not usually a big fan of anime outros but these are great, and if you're wondering the songs are all different.

[@TheGamingTeam101Tgt101]

How are you not a fan of outros? It’s like openings they are either god or they aren’t just like normal songs. Nothing about ensigns is worse or bad

[@Mysterios1989]

Animations are a major part of the openings, and what makes many openings so great. For example, I love the last OG Naruto opening because of the shadow fight visuals. Anime openings regularly have a deep story telling impact (at least the good ones) and have meaning and power.

[@Chhjmmkg]

You are right. I didn't like most of the Naruto openings except for bluebird and everybody hands up. Purely liked it for the songs.

[@keremcantarhan]

I definitely like you trying to guess the story through the openings the most, to be honest. So, I didn't mind sitting through the same opening especially because I love this anime so much. Also, the vocalist for this song is the vocalist of Galneryus which is one of the best metal bands in Japan.

[@lightningdragon666]

It is always fun seeing people getting confused on departure and jojo openings repeating!

[@animeamm]

My precious boys Gon and Killua 🥰 Hunter X Hunter does technically have two Opening songs. There are two versions of Departure! and they use them turn about for each new story arc. The Endings however are all different songs and you should definitely check them out. Also check out Noragami Openings as I think you'd enjoy the music and style for them. Same for Blue Exorcist. For the light-heartedness of Hunter X Hunter the first arc was aired on TV in Japan at an earlier time (think equivalent of the UK Watershed) so it had to comply within the bounds of what could be shown during that time. They got a later airing time for other arcs and so parts were much darker than how the first story arc began.

[@empire539exe]

Well, one version of Departure, but both halves of the song switch off per opening. I always love it when they switch the verses in special openings, and HxH just goes all the way!

Lemme guess: no one told him. XD EDIT: guys, the ones who recommended, you're freaking sadistic XD Saying a heads-up should've been given is obvious, but even without one at least tell him to react to the endings, which are all different songs kk *EDIT 2: Yes, @G.O.T. Games, in general people watch anime opening reactions for people to react to the opening/ending animation as much as the song. There are whole channels dedicated to ONLY that and anime show reactions. 😂* And, indeed, most anime don't use the same song. That includes Pokemon and Dragonball.

[@PenOverSword]

You know what's funny. It's been so long since I've seen this show that I came into this genuinely trying to remember what the other four songs sounded like. 😂 I was thinking that they must've been terrible, because I remembered every note of the first song, but couldn't remember any other song.

Hunter x hunter is one of the few anime that never changed its opening. It’s been the same song forever yet a slightly different melody. I believe ge-ge-ge no getaro is the other which dealt with classic creatures of legend in Japanese folklore. I know cutie honey changed it’s song for the reboot which just stank. Speed racer kept its song just its rap, rock, or 60s pop but the song is unmistakable.

Hunter x Hunter is definitely one of the anime that is probably on the top 5 list of most fans. Insanely good character development. Great storytelling. It gets dark but is not cynical at all. You will finish every episode feeling like someone cared deeply about telling this story.

[@Weebzz]

I like watching ppl react to both the song and the animation. I do think you got trolled a lil bit since no one gave you a heads up about HxH not changing songs lol. The endings are all unique songs so that would be worth checking out. I think so many ppl recommended this because even if it doesn't seem like it at first, this is probably a series you would end up enjoying. It takes a lot of twists and turns but it also takes a little while to get there.

[@sanvedbhoyar]

At 17:00 when you said you're not much of a fan of romantic stuff, you reminded me of my old self... I wasn't too much of a fan of it at first either, probably because I enjoyed other genres (mostly action & dark stuff like you) & also because I didn't actually watch any romance anime & only watched action & darks animes (without any romantic subplot) 😂... But when I actually did watch them (pretty good ones at that), then I fell in love with romance in anime! ❤ Romance in anime is also done pretty different from usual shows irl.. (good) Korean dramas kinda come close to it in terms of feel but it's still difficult to have good romance shows... However, anime really does some magic of it's own! Romance in anime somehow feels more magical & unique... It feels great (only if done right of course) & you just end up loving it! I'm telling you.. at the time of writing this comment you're at 62nd episode of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (FMAB) & in it, you said it yourself! That you want EDWARD & VINRY TO GET MARRIED! & even wanted ALPHONSE to find someone he LOVES AND GET TOGETHER WITH HER! Yup. You can only say something like this when you LIKE the romance in anime (which you said you didn't at 17:00)! And you know what's more funny? FMAB doesn't have much romance either & YET you still ended up wanting it & liking it.. it might also be BECAUSE there's not much amount of romance in the show that you liked & appreciated the little romance part.. but the point is, compared to the romance focused anime (or anime with good romance subplot) FMAB didn't have much to show... although, it was done pretty neat in it's own way.. so you liked it.. WE ALL DID! So that's why you need to check out some good romance animes... Either purely romance focused or with good romantic subplot in which romance ACTUALLY plays an important part in the story or something... not like, just being there for the sake of it (which is exactly what makes people not care about romance even though it's such a beautiful theme presented in anime.. trust me) So yeah, I'll tell you some romance anime that you can check out that I can think on top of my head.. might miss out on many of the other great ones cuz I've watched so many animes over the years since my childhood now & even stopped watching them at all & instead just read manga/novel cuz it's much faster, that I can't remember many good ones on top of my head, even some of the best ones I guess.. but I'll try to select some good ones mixing some old ones I watched when I was younger & some modern ones popular now & list them here... Also just saying, an anime no matter how beautifully animated it gets, if story isn't good it will fall off.. but if an anime even with average animation, has a great source material, it still manages to make an impact on the viewer even with bad animation. So, I might also mention about the source material whether they are good or not for some of the animes below: [purely romance, drama, slice of life genre] * Toradora (one of the first (good) ones I've watched & holds a special place in my heart) * OreGairu (Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru) (one of my favourites! Again it's what I watched when I was young so it's special to my heart... & Also, it's source light novel is one of the best out there! It's among the likes of ToAru & Monogatari light novels!) * Clannad (infamous tearjerker.. one of the first romance ones I watched along with Toradora.. season 1 sets up characters & might feel somewhat boring but trust me season 2 makes it one of the best animes of all time.. not kidding you can go check out how infamous clannas is!) * Anohana (another infamous tearjerker.. although it's focused more on friendship, it's still romance.. again it's one of old ones I watched) * Kaguya-sama: love is war (even if someone who doesn't like romance would watch it cuz it's such a funny show! 😂) * Fruits Basket (this ones a popular & classic shoujo gem (shoujo anime is aimed towards girls.. mostly has romance) it has an old adaptation & a new "remake" version... Watch the remake one) There are tons more like Spice & Wolf, Nagi no Asukara, Wotakoi, Your Lie in April, Kokoro Connect, Bunny girl Senpai, Ef: a tale of memories or some good Shoujo animes like Kimi ni Todoke, Ore Monogatari but I guess these above will be enough to get you started & make you appreciate romance in anime. [Romantic subplot ones] Honestly there are far too many! Even main stream shounen anime (aimed towards young teenage/young adult boys.. mostly don't even have romance) like Naruto, Bleach, Seven Deadly Sins, My Hero Academia, Black Clover has romantic subplot or at the very least romantic pairings.. Even Fate Series has great romance & actually plays important role in story & characters' growth (since Fate Stay/Night originally was an eroge ('erotic-game' in japan.. which is a game or a graphic/visual novel that has sexual content).. so obviously Fate has romance.. Similarly, 86 (Eighty-Six) also has romance down the line.. not shown in anime, but later down in the story in light novel which is very well done & makes the already great story even better! There lots of shows that are & would be recommended to you by people that might have romantic subplot or at least some minor good romance in it! & Believe me... You'll LOVE it! Even Attack on Titan has some romantic pairings which makes the show & characters even better! So I'll just skip this section since you'll be recommended shows with romantic subplot anyways & me recommending it here would only make me harder to pick & list will keep getting bigger... Oh but aside from that I remembered from word Fate "Series", you can check out: * Monogatari Series (a big name & one of the best shows I've ever watched in my life honestly (yeah I'm saying that even after watching all sorts if anime my whole life!) but is difficult for people to recommend since first of all it's watch order is pretty weird cuz it's got many seasons with all different names (like Bakemonogatari, Kizumonogatari etc.) & secondly, even though it's got mystery/action/gore/even psychological at times.. it's got ecchi as well ('H' which stands for 'Hentai' meaning pervert/weird/strange but in this context, pervert in Japanese... & is pronounced as 'ecchi'.. so anime with lewd content is labelled under ecchi genre)).. definitely a must watch if you don't mind ecchi.. & even if you do mind or might feel uncomfortable watching it on stream or with someone.. please just watch it alone or something... Cuz it's an anime you should watch before you die imo... It's also created by Shaft studio (same as Madoka Magica) and is know for it's phenomenal and out of this world unique animation style.. & by the big one I mean in Japan, competition is high, & since people are veterans about anime/manga/novel/games stuff, only good/special series & ones that stand out from crowd get big there.. however, in the rest of the world most of such series aren't widely known because people go for main stream stuff or because of some other reasons... But the point is, if something is big in Japan, you know there's 'something' in it.. As for Monogatari, it's a light novel series with really good & clever writing. Story is fantastic, characters are awesome but seriously the writing is so ingenious & witty that there are so many puns & references that even Japanese people don't get unless they think properly & then end up thinking "wow that is such a genius move!" * ToAru Series (this one is a mixed one for me so you can skip it since anime isn't adapted super great since they had to rush it quite a bit & miss out on many important stuff from the original source light novel but at least remember this series' name.. it's a big one really.. anime isn't all that great for me (except for ToAru kagaku no Railgun which is amazing!) but I'm talking about it because the novel is just that good! the story, world & characters & everything around it is fantastic! So let me say it again... This franchise is massive & very popular in Japan. So at least remember it. so, down the road if you do plan on reading novels or stuff be sure to check it out cuz even if you don't think anime is great the novel is awesome & is one of my favourites even after watching & reading all sorts of stuff!) Well honestly, there are even more great novels, mangas, webtoons & stuff that haven't been adapted to anime yet.. so you're missing out on a lot of them! But for it's fine if you just enjoy anime... Maybe someday you'll go deeper like many of us did! 😂 Seriously, I rarely watch any regular (non-anime) shows now... And after discovering mangas & novels, I rarely watch any anime either. It's just that good. It saves time & is much faster. That way I can experience great stories in a shirter time. Of course if a good TV show or good anime comes out I do watch them when I get time. But other than that I just read the source material. Sorry it got insanely long... just keep this in mind... Romance is unbelievably good when done right.. it's a flavour that enriches the show even if you don't realize it right away.. So you need to check out more romance anime & you'll come to know what I'm talking about. Once you get the taste of good romance in a show, you can never go back! Edit: wow I just check that you have To Aru reactions too! & In that same video you mentioned people recommending Monogatari to you & you even reacted to it! What an insane coincidence... I'm glad you liked them & wanna watch the shows... Monogatari is absolutely brilliant anime adaptation! To Aru is a mixed one for me (Railgun is fantastic adaptation though) but the story is great so do check it out!

[@-Offstar]

Yeah it's a bit of a prank lol, Hunter x Hunter uses the exact same song for all it's openings there's a little variation in some of the lyrics but it's essentially just the same one each time. It's the visuals that are different each opening and that's basically what you would be reacting to.

[@Sorin96]

Its one of those where no matter if its just one opening, its just SOOO hype. atleast there other endings to each season/arc.

Animations are just as important to us, it is fun to watch your reactions of them, and I like to hear your comments on them too!

[@Crazy_Sunset]

I'm loving these reactions! Your face whenever Departure was yet again the opening you were reacting to was priceless too lol. I would recommend giving Gintama openings a try at some point. They are all so good, but if you think there are too many, you can never go wrong with openings 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17 and 21. However, I really advise to check all of them at some point. They are consistently good.

[@madara5458]

You should most definitely react to the hunter x hunter endings. They are very good and you would probably love them. Different songs btw so you won't run into the same problem

[@seandun7083]

In this case it was at least partially a troll because the slow realization that it's just all the same song is funny, but this song is definitely good. The openings are also really good and all different (the last 2 are the same song but if I remember correctly they are different parts of it) "I like two sides of the same coin" that's actually just the title of one of the endings. It's not quite as old a show as you might think, pretty sure this started to come out in 2011, however this is the second adaptation of the source material (the first adaptation only covered about half of what this one does) which I think started a while ago. The manga is still being written off and on because the author (Togashi) has unfortunately had some health problems.

[@Selenkate]

so as far as the openings go. I always think of them as two pieces, the music and the visuals, and together those pieces make the opening. Of course the biggest part that most people latch on to is the music, but truly great openings also have fantastic visuals

What the opening of hunter x hunter demonstrates at least in the vocal section 'If it's not even broken, don't fix it' This is how a series does not need to change every fifteen chapters, you continue as you started, just with another perspective.

[@5ickly]

u would for sure enjoy hxh i feel it would be right up ur alley and its also a classic everyone needs to watch eventually

[@WGoodall]

I don’t know who told you to watch these openings, usually people watch the Op and Ed’s together since the Op is one song

[@FalconSpirit]

There definitely are still a lot of bouncy, happy openings with newer anime - we're just not recommending them to you as much based on what we think you'd like! It is true though, that in the past, there were less openings that used metal or heavy rock, or other musical styles like jazz.

[@sergio7496]

This is the Hunter X Hunter Remake (2011) openings, the original is from 1999 followed by Hunter X Hunter OVA, Hunter X Hunter Greed Island and Hunter X Hunter Greed Island Final with a total of 5 "DIFFERENT" openings

[@santyn12]

Best shounen in my opinion! You should react to the endings and the anime as well!

[@souhardyabose8613]

It was so fun to watch him being confused the whole video!!! Man I love your reactions!!

[@morringhan3955]

12:33 the visuals in the openings are important aside the meanings, feelings and of course...the songs. Our loved openings/endings are a set...

[@manicmike333]

You should definitely check out the endings to HuterxHunter!

[@fahrenheit2101]

You definitely need the endings for this show. They're some of the best in any show (don't worry, they're not all the same).

[@TraddyDad1997]

I would say listening to your commentary on the visuals is about 65% of why i watch, and your reaction to the songs is the other 35% honestly😅

[@noahlurvink]

Hunter x Hunter isn't actually that old, its from 2011. There is also a older version from 1999 but it ends way sooner than the newer one

[@tinker3bellz1]

I-I-I-I-I CAN'T!!! This whole reaction of yours is so damn hilarioussss my stomach and jaws are hurting so much!! 😂😂😂 That aside, I didn't remember that all 5 openings are the same songs. If I do, I could have warned you earlier (as I'm not the one recommending them all)

[@H-L]

Please do the endings. They are actually different!

[@elizatara]

omg no way! i just found your channel today and watched the video where you reacted to attack on titan openings. then, a few hours later, i saw that you posted this video and I'm so happy that you reacted to hxh openings too! this is my favorite anime and I actually only have 2 episodes left until I finish it (for the first time). so I went on youtube to watch other stuff, because this anime became such an important part of my life and I don't want to finish it yet.. at the beggining, it seemed like such a fun and cute anime, but it gets super dark (in the chimera ant arc, it gets REALLY dark), and I also cried a lot towards the end of it. and I will definitely cry a lot when I finish watching it (probably tommorow), because it's the thing that makes me happy and I just can't explain but it's so good and I love everything about it and when I finish it, it will feel like a part of me is missing.. i will always love this anime. it makes you feel happy but also so sad at some times, and it makes you want to be there with the characters, help them, fight next to them, and just be friends with them...

[@andreigabrielion9575]

I'd love to see you react to YuYu Hakusho' s first opening, Shaman King's old Northern Lights opening and all the openings of Noragami.

[@CarpingDiem6]

I AM SO HAPPY, I CAN'T. As soon as I saw the title I knew this was gonna be a hilarious video

[@octoark377]

Give a go to the "Overly cautious Hero" opening. It's one of the best in my opinion. Also Anime you might enjoy reacting to. Also Soul eater opening. Alsoo Deadman Wonderland opening.

[@Saikyoon]

you definitely should check out HxH as an anime series, its insane, definitely something you would enjoy especially the second and third arc

[@Orion_Alathorn]

I had to audibly laugh at your visible confusion by the third opening lol, the show is amazing and the opening is amazing for all 148 episodes. oh, and to answer your question, I like seeing you react to both the animation and the song. also also, you should check out the opening for "mushoku tensei" as the song and everything are amazing, though it doesn't really have an opening video like most anime, you'll see what I mean if you check it out

[@Sarah-mw9ny]

You should watch the 1999 opening song of Hunter x Hunter . The first season opening is so chill, wholesome, and nostalgic sounding. And the second season opening song is so dark and it gives you goosebumps.

[@athanasiosdemertzis8847]

Personally, I remember mentioning for you to react to the opening and the endingS. Also, I want people to react to both the music and the animation as a whole when I recommend them something because that is what I am doing. As for recommendations, aside from the obvious suggestion to check the wildly different endings of HxH(they are actually different): - To Aru Series(Index - Railgun - Accelerator was the order they aired). - Shakugan no Shana is older but has quite catchy songs for both OPs and EDs. - The same can be said for Magi. - As well as Akame ga Kill. . . Timezones are rough so say hi to Twitch chat from me. :D

[@FUNFLL]

Bro when you sat Shakugan no Shana is old the age slapped me hard

[@everythingman0082]

So essentially an opening consists of the song and the visuals , if the visuals ever change that can be considered a new opening, the new visuals can usually add context to current events in the show or in the case of jojos bizarre adventure be something you look forward to as a spectacle in the final episode of a season as the visuals change to show the enemy’s power and add sound effects to the action

[@TheKhive]

148 Episodes and that song NEVER grew old. All cheerful and happy as the arcs instantly became dark and deppressing. Great show and damn do I miss it when it ended.

[@pasomatt11]

To be fair there were two different versions with different lyrics so that helped too

[@agustindirisio2766]

@@pasomatt11 i think its the same song, but different parts of it. In the full version he sings everything, but at different times

[@pasomatt11]

@@agustindirisio2766 yeah yeah I remember googling the song and both versions are part of the full song. Still I remember being very confused when I realized there weren't gonna be different songs when I watched HxH a few years ago

[@BossVongola10]

Did you notice that the song had 2 versions?😄

[@Merse100]

The endings are all diferrent songs and they are all bangers, you should react to them

[@edoten7306]

There are two versions of this anime, those op are from the 2011 version. The 1999 ones are all different op, and are incredible as well.

[@sushainsharma4004]

Should have done endings of hunter x hunter they're the best , also love this show definitely worth watching, my top 5 best of all time ❤️

[@maxdrags3115]

The story is light at first, but gets VERY dark later on, VERY dark.

[@neochris2]

In the 1999 version it was darker from the start. More emphasis on Killua as an assassin, more violent, darker colors, and the Yorkshin arc with the Phantom Troupe was amazing

[@Max-vo3wd]

12:36 absolutely true. It's so interesting to hear your thoughts on what the plot could be, how do you feel about what you see, the characters, etc.

[@ovens3157]

You should do the kaguya-sama and shokugeki no souma (food wars) openings

[@AidanS99]

Yeah it’s literally just Departure with just new visuals as time changes. Hunter x Hunter fans like to do a bit of trolling 😂. And yes people think the visuals are just as important as the songs in anime openings. The x in Hunter x Hunter is silent btw. The show is actually just called Hunter Hunter.

[@MuddiWasTaken]

Don't think you can call yourself a "Non Anime Fan" anymore mate' Edit: OF COURSE we want you to SEE the openings! So much culture, so much story, so many things in there man, we want to share the full experience of the opening with you not only the song. Edit 2: Damn this blew up

[@pleasehelp1390]

bro got 3 likes and said it blew up

[@abolii]

@@pleasehelp1390 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@wolfshadow_Obama_Osama]

he already talked about this bro you're late but congrats on blowing up with 7 likes💀

[@ぷードーモ]

I thnk the reason Departure is used often is becuase it's an iconic song. Hunter x Hunter is an iconic anime made by a legendary mangaka. Fans waited a looooooooong time for hunter x hunter to be continued, the reason is becuase the author got sick while working on this and was unable to work on this for a while. It first got released in the 90s and since then, this song would play on the radio and in conventions in Japan and other parts of Asia, and everyone knows this song and that it's from hunter x hunter EVEN IF they weren't a fan. It was THAT iconic. Everytime this song would play in a convention in my country, EVERYONE will literally sing to it. regardless of age.

[@jorgebrandonvillalobospena7997]

I recommend the promise neverland openning and noragami openings

[@TheShitpostExperience]

Generally speaking, the visual part of the openings are as important as the music. Particularly with hunter x hunter also shows how the story progresses so it's more emotional for people who have watched the anime and know the characters and what happens. Regarding the song, it's a pretty happy and lighthearted song that contrasts a lot with the anime which can get pretty sad and dark at times.

[@nanaki4783]

HxH real openings are the endings.

[@daodolong]

This one was the reboot there is also Hunter X Hunter from 1999 which had 6 different openings .

[@noahlurvink]

i love hxh

[@ininusi]

There's a whole genre of youtubers that just review new anime openings, And yes, as I've seen they mainly focus on the animation and rarely mentions the song.. Mainly because they are reviewing and analyzing the animation studios art style and story telling skills to see how the anime/new season is going to be, so yes i would asume a lot of people are expecting you to watch the visuals. Although i actually find it refreshing to see someone focus on the songs, they are often overlooked by the film maker experts when they do reviews so to see someone that knows what they are talking about when it comes to the sound department is quite fun.

[@RenderingUser]

for OSTs id definitely recommend osts from tower of god like "irregular god" for example

[@TheNightOwlKS]

This is the lead singer of Galneryus, Masotoshi Ono, singing this opening. They have a live version of this song with Galneryus

[@lanytai2010]

I also thought it was a joke when I was watching. every 20 episodes or so, I was like "they'll definitively change it this time" but nope. I guess that's the reaction the people that recommended it to you wanted. Or maybe they also wated the endings, which are all different and way better than the opening imo. BUT since you mentioned, why not go down the Yu Gi Oh openings rabbit hole? They are quite... well, interesting at worst and there are some bangers in there as well.

[@r0kus]

You were watching the openings for the 2nd adaptation beginning in 2011. And yes most of us want you to react to both the music and visuals. BTW the first adaptation beginning 1999, had multiple openings for both music and visuals. The first closing song from 1999 is probably my favorite song from either adaptation.

[@YukiFubuki.]

anime opening isnt just solely the songs, the visuals itself is also a big part of the experience and can add an extra element to the overall experience too since they go hand in hand with each other, even when it purposely doesnt like death parade's opening flyers which features the characters dancing to an upbeat jazz-like song accompanied by some really whimsical visuals but the subject matter about judging people after death is anything but what the opening makes it out to be and in the same vein girl's last tour opening is a really cutesy and silly song featuring the 2 main characters in various scenarios and even a bit of dancing yet the the anime is actually a slice of life about said 2 girls traversing the ruined world as possible the last 2 humans left alive after a huge devastating war another would be code geass' last opening where is a very much a song about hope yet the current events of the anime where its used involved an all out war and characters dying, the director actually states that to show the characters smiling considering the current events they really have no time to smile

[@jayaniceday3602]

I always found it interesting that Killua looks so cute in this opening if you didn't realize that he can rip your heart out and watch it beat while you die.
