She is invincible, wonderful, shocking, stimulating! Everyone spontaneously starts spinning; even God starts dancing. The hall is shaking, they get excited, and sure enough, there is peace and joy! We sometimes get lost in the gaps between our days, don't we? At such times, a light gently shines before our eyes! It is boring to dig through boring things. It was us until yesterday who got stuck in such a hole. You don’t need claws and don’t need to fly in the sky. We can be anything we like with this party. Come on! Magic! A magic that you cast on me Buddy! Stimulates me Praying! Even though it's tiny, Flowers bloom all around the world with your magic. Lighten! I’ll run through the darkness. Supreme! All that is needed is love. Everything I receive from you is like a message. Keep shining on me until the end. When you hold hands with me, I feel like I love you.

@MichaelJackson kyoani does things more on the lighter side of things, both vagabond and punpun are both pretty intense in their own way besides they're both pretty lengthy in chapters, which isn't exactly the kind of thing kyoani does most of the time anyway. For stuff like that mappa would be the go to especially since they've done stuff like dorohedoro and will be doing chainsaw man soon (would love to see fire punch animated by them). Mappa has a massive quantity of animators to handle stuff like long mangas although they do need to fix their work environment situation along with how the animators for the chainsaw man trailer got paid barely anything

[@Commenter839]

@Get Some Sleep Stuff like Beserk really isn't KyoAni's forte. It's a little difficult to describe, but their style tends to work best with slice of life shows or things with very little action. Just saying, I liked Beyond the Boundary, but the fight scenes always felt slightly lacking.

[@ademonslayer7130]

God I love this OP... I've seen it so many times, and I think it's really amazing. My favourite thing is that it starts off all fun and playful at a rapid speed. But as it keeps going the OP slows down more and more, the dull seriousness of Tohru and Kobayashi's life starts to become more into focus, until Tohru grabs Kobayashi's hand and breaks away from the monotony, as well as the rapid, playful tone, by flying up into the sky. The OP starts taking on a more fantastical tone as the other dragons appear next to them in their dragon forms, before it breaks away entirely to the more serious aspects of the show and the characters. Specifically Tohru and Ilulu. But then we cut back to Kobayashi and Tohru who are floating back down to the ground after a day of flying, and are reunited with their found family of dragons... in a reminder that yeah it's not all going to be fun and games, serious things will happen, but at the end of the day they will all be there for each other. Cause they are a family now. I love it, it's such a good reflection of the show, and it's animated incredibly well. Def one of the best OPs I've seen in a while.
