It was very confusing, but that's understandable considering how it aired

quote:

Note: Chronological order of the episodes, for best understanding is: 26, 24-1, 25

Worse the first few episodes were boring and that's not a good sign considering they were actually episodes 25, 24, 23, etc if watched in the correct order.

Dunno why I like it so much, because it's just a plain and standard op but for some reason I just love the Barakamon OP like way too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-U60_ZSgoI

Maybe it's the song or just that I liked the show so much I'm not sure but I'm probably the only one.

there's artsy and then there's just not being sensible

here's an op from a show i poked a little while ago, Melody of Oblivion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlWOZgxrldM

...it...is not a good sign for continuing to watch the show that when looking it up on YT one of the first suggested searches relevant to the show was a scene involving human milking

i mean the show opens up with archers on magic motorcycles fighting a global brainwashing conspiracy world against people that literally eat children, how the hell does the show go down THAT route

good song tho

speaking of Ali Project there's also the opening for Linebarrels of Iron that I really liked in SRW L but turned out to actually be...uh, almost certainly divisive in opinion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75-B0F1Sl4

I still kind of enjoy it but I can see why others wouldn't absolutely

It tries to go with the absurd metaphysical mind-fuckery near the end like Big-O, and it culminates in that milking scene. Really, though. That whole thing comes out of left field. All of meta stuff is hamfisted and none of it is done tastefully. Remember how everyone was akin to tomatoes in Big O? Yeah. Girls are all cattle ripe for use and abuse in MoO.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito was an odd show, to say the least. (I think it was based on a shoujo-ai VN?) The ending was pretty cool even if it felt like it was going nowhere in the middle.

I never watched Melody of Oblivion because I knew there was no way it could deliver on the promise of secret underground fascist monster societies in a satisfactory way.

JEEBOOOON WOAH!

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - ED 1
http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/zetsubou2/koijiromanesque.htm
There is not a single youtube clip of this ED that isn't an edited version with a lower pitch so it has male vocals :wtc:
Basically I could put any OP/ED from SZS in this thread because they all own so hard. I picked this one cos I love the art style.

Maria Holic - OP 1, ED 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOHwVZc6QYY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRo1uK2NILo

Despite the catchy as HELL ED, series turned out to be surprisingly boring, especially given the premise.

So...wow.
It's like Enoki took the filler episode of Utena, where Nanami turns into a cow, and tried to make it "more allegorical".

quote:

So, I know anime and manga can have wildly different art styles, but jesus, can that artist do nothing but Gundam Seed/Scryed style art?
