Has there ever been a better OP then season 1 of AoT?
Space Dandy baby
Viva namida
Space dandy was the shit. I didn't know it was a different director each ep the first time thru, i need to rewatch
in space, we are all Betelgeusians
Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, every season of Kaguya.
Edit: Chainsaw Man, Oshi no Ko.
I like bebop, its up there. Eva never clicked w me. "Love is war" is top tier. Ill go check chainsaw and oshi no ko haven't heard those yet.
Ok i got a couple for you. what do you think of chobits op? Read or die? (I also love 1 punch but duh everyone loves that one, right?)
I'll be up front and say that I like my music big, stupid, and energetic. In that regard, Chobits and RoD are both decent starting points to build from but imo they don't go far enough. Chobits especially has some moments where there's a clear route to go higher energy but it stays low instead.
And yeah agreed on One-Punch, though I forgot to mention it lol. Some other stuff now that I've had some sleep:
Honorable Mentions:
Cowboy Bebop was a fun series of vignettes without a strong overarching plot. Also, lots of comedy.
AoT is high drama with lots of mystery and gore inside strong narrative arc. Far more in line with Eva and Chainsaw Man.
Even then, Eva is incredibly slow-paced, particularly at the beginning. Its far more psychological, on par with Elfin Lied or Monster. AoT and Chainsaw Man both hit the ground running, don't shy away from intense action scenes, and present the mystery as part of direct human conflict rather than some cryptic intrigue read on the edges of the narrative.
And the world building in AoT is much denser. Comparable to Twelve Kingdoms or El Hazard. There's so much more there there. It isn't just a handful of main characters grappling with their own inner demons.
As an epic story, it feels like Naruto minus the interminable filler. Not nearly as visually artistic as your picks, but richer as a setting and less reliant on a small set of lead characters that you need to empathize with.
Oh I've got three words for you, pal:
"I buy sausage"
turn a gundam op 1
utena
big o
baccano
some more:
Code Geass OP 1 (JIBUN WOOOOOO)
I have a soft spot for most of the Eureka 7 OPs, but that's probably just me.
Scrapped Princess OP Anything from Jam Project, TBH (Soul Taker, One Punch Man)
rewatched code geass recently and the existence of a second op in season 1 had completely slipped my mind. i had completely memoryholed it in favor of colors, which just blows op 2 out of the water
OP 2 was a mistake.
