[Music]
soda online alicization war of
underworld
season 2
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
like everything in this sequel this
final opening is big
bombastic and practically dripping with
flair
while it has that suspenseful build up
that perfectly ties into underworld's
darkest hour there's an overarching
sense of triumph to this song
one perfect to herald in the retin of
kirito
[Music]
given the sheer amount of sao we've been
subjected to over the last couple of
years
there was every chance this could feel
bloated and unearned
thankfully it has just the right amount
of flash to get you riled up for the
next virtual showdown
[Music]
number nine easy breezy keep your hands
off as again
[Music]
there's a reason this thing took the
internet by storm half of it was due to
those exquisitely
memeable dance moves while the other
half couldn't stop listening to this
banger of an opening
[Music]
it's so bouncy and so light-hearted
you'd be hard-pressed to find someone
who didn't find the whole thing
delightful
with many claiming it to be the female
equivalent of the jojo torture dance
the only downside is that once it gets
inside your head
you'll be hard-pressed to get it out
number eight tony kawa over the moon for
[Music]
you
there's so much charm here that we don't
even know where to start
first we have to give props to singer
and actress akarikito
you know the voice of main girl tsukasa
there's a fragility to her voice
that effortlessly captures the very
nature of the romance genre within the
opening seconds
that would normally be enough at least
until the beat drops
[Music]
the electronic component to this song is
so unexpected
yet so on points that it'll give you the
best kind of whiplash
[Music]
number seven welcome to chaos doro
hedero
[Music]
yep this is pretty much the song we
expected to be paired with a series
about a lizard man who eats gyoza
and has a talking head living inside his
mouth this opening is visual and audio
lunacy
effortlessly conjuring feelings of dread
and it just
works the distorted vocals and heavy
rifts perfectly reflect the madness of
kymon's everyday life
all of which continue to escalate before
concluding with an almighty splatter
[Music]
like shin just took a hammer to the
band's equipment we're not sure how
they're gonna top this if they ever do a
season two
[Music]
number six kami sama no syndrome
higarashi when they cry
go
[Music]
much like this franchise's fondness for
genre bait and switch
this ending theme has a duality to it
that might seem rather contradictory
but works so well it's downright
unsettling
while there's a lightness you could see
easily fitting into your average slice
of life anime
there's still a sinister undertone to it
one that becomes more apparent
as the ending montage parades images of
the cast's horrendous home lives
it certainly makes for a beautiful
listen but like all things higarashi
once it takes you down the rabbit hole
you'll never be able to appreciate it
the same way again
number five momento re zero starting
life in another world season two
[Music]
the best ending theme to come out of the
year by far and wouldn't you know it
it has echidna front and center
orchestrating the whole thing
while this track doesn't give you the
pulse-pounding thrills to go along with
subaru's endless stream of deaths
it does have quite a serene melody to it
[Music]
while we can't say it's uplifting it
more than succeeds in creating a surreal
atmosphere
which given the madness we've seen the
witches of sin dish out this season
is more than appropriate
[Music]
number four centimeter rent a girlfriend
he may be the ultimate simp but it's
this opening that got us thirsty
catchy as can be this song is the ideal
track to showcase the myriad of stellar
best girls
that occupy this series while offering a
fresh injection of j-rock to separate it
from all the other lovey-dovey rom-com
hopefuls that have saturated 2020.
much like kazuya's inability to make a
sensible decision
this thing quickly spirals into an
endless cycle of instant replays
though unlike kazia it's sure to bring a
smile to your face
[Music]
number three top tower of god
what happens when you marry together an
acclaimed webtoon a beloved k-pop band
and stellar animation a legendary
opening song that might just go down as
one of the best newcomers to the scene
mad props to stray kids since not only
did they deliver a track
with incredible depth and gravitas but
performed it
in three different languages
we're slightly edging towards the
japanese version here which was featured
in the anime
this song is too good for someone like
rachel
[Music]
number two black catcher black clover
[Music]
there's been so much quality content out
this year we'd almost forgotten that
asda and the black balls
had been consistently excelling with
this latest opening
further proving that they know how to
deliver in both action
and funk
palpitating with a jazzy beat including
some incredible piano wig
that should be the stuff of envy it's
not quite what we imagine when we think
final battle but we'll be damned if it
doesn't work
you'll be snapping your fingers harder
than when yummy owned the devil
[Music]
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few
honorable mentions yusetsu golden kamui
season three
[Music]

kaikai kitan jujutsu kaizen
[Music]
we all know that the ending is one of
mapper's greatest animated flexes
especially with the hyper chill lost in
paradise blasting out
gojo levels of smoothness
that being said we still have to give
the prize to the opening song
[Music]
while not the heaviest or the darkest it
does a magnificent job of roping us in
with its escalating vocals adding layer
upon layer before exploding into a
chorus
that toes the line between upbeat and
the kind of rock we've come to expect
with these new age shonens
a lot like yuji's exploits it continues
to get better
and better the longer you stick with it
[Music]
