*Fun Fact:* The voice actors were asked to sing in a kind of amateur-ish voice, not as professionals.

Old person preferences

[@kuroneco-j4n]

I just want you to notice the fact that some of the visuals in this opening have an 80s anime style. Nadeko usually likes writing 80s like manga, so there could be a connection here. Koimonogatari also has Nadeko as a major character.

[@naveed7143]

Wym bruh shes the main antagonist of the arc lol

[@kuroneco-j4n]

@@naveed7143 i said "a major character". I am aware that Kaiki is the viewpoint character in this arc.

[@Ttr-qe1nx]

There’s also the obvious Snake wrapping itself around the crab. A lot of things in this opening are slight hints

[@matteo964]

I think it's because in the 80s several manga rapresented relantionships between teenagers and grown men, that's why has that style al well.

[@CornishCreamtea07]

yeah, it's been awhile since I've seen it, but I think he said that it had a 80s Shojou style. The art style, aside from the characters, reminds me of California Crisis.

[@TheHeavyModd]

This is one of the best OPs in anime, ever. Shaft did a lot of work to make this into an 80's anime tribute and it shows. The AMAZING nostalgia-filled duet ballad is one thing but they also masterfully mixed modern animation and art style with the older 80's art style and aesthetics. I specifically bloody love the shot where Kaiki and Senjougahara both hold out their hands for each other and the images flip from one hand to the other in sliced segments of the screen. They also added some good old cliches like driving a nice car next to a beach. It seems like they also opted for a lower resolution in the 80's aesthetic scenes of the opening, and they definitely used an older font for their credits. Tl;dr: best op ever

[@rachelhober2870]

There are so many reasons for loving this intro that It's hard to find a good place to start. I mean the whole thing is pretty much a contradiction of itself. First you have the brightly colored 80s-90s art style, which is pretty much the furthest you could get from monogataris muted colors and simple but detailed animation. Then there is the two characters featured. Kaiki, who, in the show with a very serious and almost macabre appearance, is driving a red Mazda mx5 with the top down on a sunny day by the beach while also wearing a light t shirt and pink sweater. Then you have Senjougahara (I probably spelled that wrong) who has a very serious and sometimes frightening attitude, is singing with a cute and even playful sounding voice. I could go on and on with all the symbolism and imagery and you'll always find something new each time you watch it.

[@VanNessy97]

Guys Senjogahara and Kaiki have special relationship back in the past? Like they're love team? They actually have feelings for each other back in the old days? I watched the anime it's just that it's so complicated explained for me.

[@llmochi_]

They might have had a love relationship going on but it’s never explained in the series. Kaki on the end really did like senjouhahara and he did not mean to hurt her in any way. I’m the end he does actually help her a lot because he broke up his parents relationship since it would have been a tragedy since her mom was already bringing a lot of damage for being in a cult. But kaiki cares a lot for senjougahara and she knows that she just mad that he got in the way of breaking her family/ what she once loved
