People remember Mezzo Forte, right?

What about Mezzo DSA, the TV series spinoff with a mediocre budget and boring plots?

Well, at least the OP is catchy as heck

First season had its moments, second had a lot of recycled bits and I dropped it. FripSide is always good though.

blood-c had good fights and that's it. it had a good op tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUSrhDPN-VI

the ed had boring visuals but it was coupled with a nana mizuki song so i always watched it (junketsu paradox if you want to look it up). no video because the only one i could find is pitch-shifted to avoid copyright.

Digimon has lots of good series with openings that are as good as the series deserves.

It also has awful series with openings that are far too good for them.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
that night walker opening DOES make me want to watch the show. but i think i can tell what kind of mediocre crap it is heh

It relentlessly teases (and spends a couple of half-episodes almost being) Forever Knight the anime, but instead there's a schoolgirl with a crush (who gets the stub of an interesting arc!) and a woman who's really into him and totally down with being lunch and it all just sort of sits there not being what it could. More disappointing than bad.

Brainpowerd Opening - NSFW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvSP6hM5PcI Tomino, Kanno team up for Music for a mecha show before Turn A with robot designs by 5 Star Stories Nagano and character designs from Tales series Inomata. Opening is great, series is....well it's no Turn A


This is the nippliest opening I've ever seen. And apparently all the nudity has no connection to the actual show content?

Shin Sekai Yori losts its momentum for me a little too quickly, but parts of it were as good as its ED, which is excellent

Hiiro no Kakera.

Garbage game, garbage anime, and yet has one of my favorite anime OPs of all time.

Did you ever finish it? Shin Sekai Yori's ending is absolutely perfect, I really liked the show as a whole even if the pacing in the middle was a little bit much.

Shin Sekai Yori is a show that will always remain in my brain.

nah Ergo Proxy is good, it's just.... extremely not for everybody

like it's a really really weird mix of a Lain-esque mindfuck show and a cyberpunk action series and you have to be into both of those things, which don't typically have massively overlapping audiences, to really enjoy it

e: like basically it's for people who watched Lain and went "hmm you know what this show needed, more shooty-bang action scenes and Radiohead"

Show was a goddamn trainwreck, but I really dig the intro

Kannazuki no Miko was the first thing i thought of when i saw this thread. The anime became completely incomprehensible garbage near the end, but hey it had a good OP and EP.

Here's the EP to add some content to the thread:

Gundam Build Fighters Try OP 1 - Such high expecations coming in from Build Fighters too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH01VxE0hw0

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



I'm going to go in the opposite direction here: A show I actually love, but I just think the OP is even better.

DragonBall Super's Universe Survival Arc OP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3j3JwKJ9mI

I really liked Super and that arc was max-hype, but it was a flawed product. The OP however is almost flawless.

I will see you your Fafner Angela OP and raise you another Fafner Angela OP. Even better song, even more bland anime.

And as much as I enjoyed Cardfight Vanguard due to my TCG addiction, I have to admit that it really didn't deserve this awesome of a JAM Project theme:
