Sukuna is a part of him and he is figuring him out.. the first half of the anime is actually really good and it is more MC screen time than the rest half.. if you haven't binged it - trust me.

The Japanese language lends itself very well to music due to how every character in their phonetic alphabets is a syllable, so every word in the language is made from short syllables of sound that flow together easily.

Totally agree. For example, Unravel's second half differs very hard. Also, sound quality of this compilation is worse than in original music videos.

[@gamesboy123able]

nah overlord songs really arent that good tbh.

[@ApexHydra-]

@@gamesboy123able Whatcha mean? They are so good!

[@syzonax]

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

[@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. Hell he even made the 1 year anniversary song for the Project Sekai mobile game

[@Zadem]

Dororo :p

[@xeros1123]

Yo I feel like the edit didn't do unravel justice, the full song is incredible and I'd love to see you react to either a live performance or his 'the first take' version which is an instrumental cover. Both are incredible performances and as good as the opening is it only scratches the surface of the song!

[@xeros1123]

Kaikai Kitan (Jujutsu Kaisen) also has an amazing second verse, would highly recommend that one too

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

[@rzl34]

I like how he deciphers the mood of a show simply from the opening and pretty much gets it right everytime he makes that kind of guess

[@ericmin1466]

You should react to some songs by the Japanese artist that goes by "Ado." She has an amazing and unique voice and you'll definitely be able to find a lot of cool things. I recommend the songs "Odo" and "Usseewa" and some of her One Piece RED songs.

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 🖤🖤🖤

[@CarlosGabriel-pt4od]

Up

[@aymuhspunj]

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

[@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.

[@danah-hx6mk]

restarting the Jujutsu Kaisen OP's intro 3 times was my exact reaction the first time I heard that song haha. it's so incredibly written and catchy, and the full song is even better. Eve (the artist) has an amazing discography that you'd probably really enjoy. and I definitely think you would enjoy the show!

[@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).

[@austinpark980]

the vocalist himself wrote the song for Overlord opening 1. You should check other overlord songs (4 openings and 4 endings.) I bet you will really enjoy them all.

[@antonioskeete]

Mob Psycho 2 and JJK 1 are two of my top 10 favorite openings of all time.

@@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.

[@ark_knight]

Mob Psycho ftw! They are just so wild everytime. Did you hear the S3 song yet?

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

[@Teneban]

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.

[@t.r.everstone7]

Yeah, Minami is INSANE. So few people can put that much into a song and still sound like they might have even more held back

[@welovewii4]

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).

[@luisfernandomauricio5379]

Yeah man. I agree. In my opinion, Film a Moment is the best Tk's song. So powerful, emotional and dynamic song. It's worth reacting.

[@artyomshay]

Watch the full version of the Tokyo Ghoul opening. In the anime community, it's a meme, but it's a masterpiece.

[@MuXucal]

Unravel always felt like a power ballad using the metal genre to emphasis the emotion the vocalist is trying to convey.

[@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 🙏🙏

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.
