A Place Further Than The Universe has been slowly becoming one of my favorite shows of the Year, even though its only been one season. It has a lot of charm, the characters are all likable, and the message it sends about following your own path in life is something that really resonates with me. Its opening has a similar

Other than it’s impressive action scenes and title as one of Shonen’s rising stars, My Hero Academia has become fairly notable through its OPs, albeit mostly through memes. Many of these memes have featured fights between the second opening “Peace Sign,” which I have covered in this series, and “Sora no Utaeba,” the shows third opening. However, the one were

As I’ve talked about before, and as many others have pointed out, in order for an opening to really land it should, generally speaking, match tones with the show that comes after it. A comedy show with an opening made for a horror anime would not really work unless the horror was part of the joke. It is safe to

More and more March Comes in Like a Lion has been on my mind, not because of its highly stylized artwork or its unique premise, but mainly because of the show’s main character Rei, who seems to have a new ghost of his past come back to haunt him every half a season or so. In order to honor one

It feels to me like I don’t revisit a lot of older anime for this series, so I wanted to change that. The early and mid 2000’s have a lot in the way of good openings, and Gurren Lagann proves that easily. For the Opening of the Week: Sorairo Days by Shoko Nakagawa. One of the best ways to set

Hyouka entering my life has honestly been one of the best things to happen to me. I’m currently seventeen episodes in, and honestly, I am not sure what to do after its over. My enjoyment of the show has placed it squarely in my top ten of all time. A decent portion of my enjoyment can be attributed to the

Aside from being one of the best shonen to come out in a while, My Hero Academia has also created a great number of OPs, including the one we’re going to talk about today: Peace Sign. My personal favorite of the three, Peace Sign has a fairly standard J-Rock vibe that goes pretty hard. Once again, welcome to Opening of

I was reminded recently by a video about Card Game anime that Cardfight Vanguard has one of the best openings by JAM Project ever. Not only is the music in the opening awesome, but the visuals, as with any good opening, are great at conveying what that arc of the show is about. JAM Project is definitely one of the better

If March Comes in Like a Lion is known for anything else aside from its terrific writing, It would be its surprisingly impressive openings, and Sangatsu no Lion’s second season second opening fits this description perfectly. Maybe not as visually impressive as some of the show’s other OPs, but still visually stimulating in its own right. For this week’s Opening

Angel Beats is a show that evokes a very visceral, emotional reaction in its viewers without having a good reason. Many of the show’s fans, like my friend Christian, will admit that the show has flaws and that on its face the show is seemingly only above average. But, because of its array of unique and heart-wrenching character arcs, it
