They just caught up with the source material and didn't want to leave you hanging.

nice pick up

>>25987It's one of my recent favourites as well but I feel that the director of the anime chose that song for purpose. The point of it is to contrast the story. See how the opening animation focuses on Guts only. In the story Guts goes through failings and suffers, so instead of having a song emphasizing his depression, they put in one that challenges it, with an upbeat tone and positive lyrics.

The OP for Spice and Wolf (season 1) is probably my favourite, such a hauntingly beautiful song.

>>24949the idea behind this anime was pretty stupid (lets have a weird cousin and psycho love triangle) with probably a little over the top gore and violence, and the message was about inhumanity and discrimination, but probably one of the best opening theme songs.
It was also the basis for one of the characters in stranger things
No.27401
>>27397While I like the song they kind of over used it during the show to the point that it lost all emotional effect.
Then again the whole show has no restraint, which is what I like about the show (and what most hate about the show).

>>27406I have heard remixes of this song but never knew the show it originally came from. Looks kind of generic and edgy. Will probably give it a watch.

No.29494
>>29461The show failed horrendously in Japan which is why they told the English dubbers to do whatever they wanted with it, so I doubt it's anything worth watching.
No.29496
>>29494The most interesting thing about it is the Japanese folklore about ghosts and demons and stuff. You basically get 90% of that in the dub though.
No.31788
>>29494This is a myth. The dub scriptwriters basically made that up to justify their butchery of it. The show has had multiple reruns which doesn't indicate that it was poorly recieved.

https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=an_0IIRDlc4Not an opening exactly but I always thought the opening to the original Bubblegum Crisis OVA was pretty neat. Also I vaguely remember a similar video being posted somewhere. It took place in an underground city had the police raiding a vaguely warhammer like cult with an eye symbol on their hoods. Idk if it was from the same show or not but I'd love to see it again.
