Regardless of whether or not the show is the same, this opening is definitely a strong contender for best of the season and year. So much artwork, creative vision, and density of symbologies bundled into a storyboard amalgamation. And, above all, it connects to the ending. Congratulations to the director of this opening for the great work.

[@name49]

Agreed. Loving this anime. Also every episode ends with clips of the storyboard which is really cool.

It's straight up my favorite OP of all time I'm gonna be real. Like, the only other one I'd put above is maybe Serial Experiments Lain and only because that one is from an anime that is actually good

Ultimately I didn’t like the show. But I will always remember this opening. It captures that raw punk rock anime feeling I got growing up watching FLCL. Instant classic.

If you avoid looking at it as an opening for an anime and as an artistic means of story telling it conveys the same themes present in the show. It's not all mindless craziness. The ending does as well, I'm curious to see by the end if it's going to be as depressing as presented in the opening and end credits. It's probably my favorite op now tbh.

[@SirMalorak]

Yep. The beautiful typical Anime-OP is destroyed. And by what? By the villains, these...UWU soldiers for lack of a better term. There's a method to this madness. It reminds me of other, unhinged works of fiction and I love it.

too bad the opening is the best in this show, what a dragging copycat with bad ending, a lovely 2/10 - but this is the most i can get for it. sadly, the first 3 episodes where promising.

[@Monika-di7vv]

10/10 from me.. despite that ending, lol

[@deltawave9180]

Si hubiera salido hace como 10 años y hubiera tenido un mejor final probablemente hasta sería de culto pero es que el villano es un: lo critican una vez y se mu3re. Y creo que se aleja un poco del tema principal además que no soluciona muchos huecos argumentales y tambien que cuenta con un guión bastante aburrido y en muchas ocasiones predecible.

[@tomasito932]

El anime en lo personal me pareció muy bueno en un comienzo, pensé que era algún tipo de sátira o metáfora con una historia más profunda por detrás. Pero al final sólo era un anime sin sentido para promocionar un juego online que fue un fracaso. Tenía muchas opciones, caminos y posibilidades pero decidió quedarse en lo más simple de todo. Aunque sea le rescato un gran opening y un ending maravilloso.

Why? Whats the plot (in short if you want)

[@Dark_Peace]

From someone who watched the show because of the OP : I agree. The show has really good ideas, but poor execution. Nothing to do with the OP. And the style is underwhelming compared to the themes. Studio Trigger would've been better to tackle such themes.

[@LineCook1]

Save time by watching only episodes 1 & 2 and then skipping to episodes 7+ until finished. You're welcome. What can I say about this anime? It has its dark and psychedelic moments and the animation studio has really pushed the envelope when it comes to blending different styles and colors. The fight scenes have great action sequence too.

does the style blending only start at episode 7?? I watched the first bit and it was hard to stick with it

[@ImmortalXUchiha]

I love the op and ed. Especially as a Breakcore fan. But i don't know if the anime is really "good" yet. It is crazy and wacky but sometimes really fast and then super slow. And overall story is really lame tbh. Ep 1 didn't hook me at all, but i loved 2 then. Gives me Studio Trigger vibes and those are one of the best there can be. So i'm interested to see where this is going.
