If you're referring specifically to the S2 OP, then yeah. S1 was alright, even if the pacing felt too slow after the Hamelin arc.
Landon Rivera
Log Horizon was fantastic, take some time to think about your mistakes in life.
Caleb Hughes
S2 was pretty shitty.
Landon Murphy
It was alright.
Definitely not amazing, S1 was alright and S2 shat the bed
Bentley Mitchell
S1 OP was great.
So technically, it was better than S1 itself, since S1 was just "good"
Julian Wilson
The best OP in a lame show is this one
Carson Ortiz
Easton Lewis
youtube.com
Why did this go so wrong?
John Mitchell
the Umineko OP is about 2x better than the show
Kayden Allen
>that feel when you were raised on Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo
Wyatt Long
So do we think its comming back?
Hudson Sullivan
...
Austin Sullivan
Wyatt Collins
Juan Perez
Must be a really shitty show then
Cooper Parker
Leo Cox
>The best OP in a lame show is this one
Close but no cigar.

Jason Barnes
the only right answer ITT
the rest of you need to get the fuck out
Jackson Hughes
Easton Mitchell
As if that was some sort of accomplishment
Charles Evans
>Getting BTFO in your own Gundam series
Never has gundam protag been as shit as Shin
Cameron Edwards
The show is generic fantasy shonen that is weighed down by two annoying dwarves
Andrew Ross
Shinn himself wasn't the problem with Destiny and could've been a great protagonist. The Minerva crew in general was far more interesting and competent than the Archangel, though that's not really too much of a feat considering how tragically trash Kira and co are.
It's because Fukuda and Morosawa were so in love with their hopelessly dull Gary Stu and the rest of the Archangels crew that the second half of Destiny turned out to be the utter shitfest it was, despite a very strong first thirteen episodes.
Parker Davis
I honestly didn't like Destiny from start to finish, probably because I watched it right after SEED, and I hated SEED. The first few episodes were just a weaker rehash of Zeta so I could never find any appeal to it. But yea, Kira and co a shit.
James Hernandez
Nathaniel Foster
The show wasn't horrible or anything, just the OP was probably one of the all-time greatest.
Eli Foster
>Borderland
>My Soul Your Beats
Excellent taste there.
Jose Campbell
youtube.com
I remember the OP more than I do the show
Zachary Perez
I liked that Destiny began by tackling some of the consequences of what'd happened in Seed which made the Cosmic Era in general feel a tad more grounded and I thought the Junius 7 drop was absolutely sublime. The moments shared between Athrun and Shinn were also handled really well and there was a lot of potential there for a Kamille/Char-like mentor/student relationship. Unfortunately after episode 13 the series just kind of meanders around and does nothing up til the Impulse/Freedom fight and then it all just goes to absolute shit.
I agree that the beginning is essentially a weaker rehash of Zeta but I quite strongly believe it's better than anything the preceded it in Seed or followed it in Destiny. Though it's completely possible that I could just be romanticising those first thirteen episodes since everything else is just so poorly handled.
It's a shame we can't get a full series handled by the staff behind Stargazer; I really think CE is a hotbed of potential that was completely squandered because of an incredibly incompetent director and scriptwriter.
Zachary Scott
Shaka, when the loli fell.
Jace Lewis
I agree, but I also feel that the "hotbed" probably wouldn't extend farther than some extra OVAs, like 08th MS Team or 0083. Smaller stories that could at least try to shore up some of the weaknesses of SEED, perhaps an attempt to make the villains less caricatured or something.
Ultimately, I don't think another full 52 episode series in the SEED universe would have worked for me, simply because I just didn't give a shit about any of the characters at the end of the series, to be honest though.
Brody Wood
>mfw she pulled a fucking key out of her hair
Samuel Stewart
slurp slurp
Christian Harris
>youtube.com
Obligatory, still my favorite OP from that season.
Jace Williams
SO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME WHORE
Robert Parker
It wasn't. Complete meme anime and fuelled on "A-At least it's not SAO!".
Luis Kelly
Andrew Baker
Fair enough, I can agree with that.
I'm still surprised that I ended up watching this entire show.
Matthew Thompson
Also, let's not forget about the OP from the show that saved anime.
Ayden Mitchell
Well I think this is pretty unanimimous:
Jordan Collins
>that fucking dancing vegetable shit
i was so close to ending it right there
Landon Rivera
Great show, loved how the fedora tippers got angry over it while circlejerking far worse shit.
Julian Thomas
The best GSD OP is this though: youtube.com
Ethan Long
I don't know what I was thinking having any hope for this series. . .
Wyatt Cook
>Solid Do Mon
>best boy Roman winning
>cute Felia loli
>brown shota
>Hamon
>quite good animation for the mecha battles
>bread grenades
Man, this show had some great things.
Ian Cooper
Kill yourselves tripniggers
Wyatt Williams
Logan Cox
>Tusk and Ange reference
Sunrise confirmed bros
Blake White
Agree.
Also, Japanese version a best.
Grayson Parker
Blake Lee
Even the shitiest Gundams have decent OPs
youtube.com
Jayden Cook
That's like 90% of anime.
Gabriel Thompson
Chase Collins
Log Horizon was genuinely fucking awful.
The characters were the worse part about it. None of them acted two dimensional and all of them had their personalities written as if they were in some comedy SOL.
The context of the tension is also never done well.
And what a huge fuckup with the people of the land. The reveal that they are actual real humans with sentience should of been huge. There is so much mystery that could've been built up around them. Instead they get blown off as just jobbers for muh adventurers. Why the fuck can't you just show a scene where its implied the PoLs know something about the nature of the world we don't? That would get us much more invested in their whole story.
Also why the fuck do we need to focus on that shitty b plot about the kids learning about raids? That was so fucking boring, trivial and stupid. The only good part about it (and the entire show) was Rudy's development (and once thats done his character is mostly ignored).
While I haven't watched SAO in a while I doubt its worse than Log horizon if were counting the first seasons. The only defense I ever hear is how much more realistic a mmo LH is but they never tell me why that realism should matter to me as a viewer.
Eli Jones
Well, not a terrible lot of shows can live up to JAM Project openings in general
Thomas Miller

Mouretsu Pirates.
Jace Gomez
The show was so disappointing.
Lincoln Lopez
>The show was so disappointing.
It was so close to being great. Semi hard SF, nice art style, interesting setting, reasonable voice acting.
James Reed
The show might've been utter shit, but it was at least pretty damn unique and gorgeous in terms of visuals. EDs were great, too.
GENKI DE IRARERU KARA
Daniel Murphy
I enjoyed it.
Ethan Sanchez
Gen'ei had the OP of its season.
Anthony Hernandez
William Smith

Actually D-Frag is god tier and just has a great OP
Josiah Edwards
Was a pretty fun show despite Umetsu fucking it up as usual after episode 1, and sisters were amazingly cute. Feels like it would've been a good match for some story elements of Time Travel Shoujo airing this season, could've saved it.
On that note, this is relevant to the thread, too
youtube.com
I've recently started playing Granblue Fantasy and rewatching this OP... the show had some remarkably similar elements, with Felia and the stone caterpillar being basically Ruria and Vee-kun, the setting having a similar kind of lore and all.
Isaiah Reyes
>LiSA
>good
William Sanders
Is this bait?
This is literally the worst OP I've ever seen.
Carson Sanders
Speaking of Umetsu, can't forget this great OP, too
youtube.com
He only did this OP for it, but the show was a bit of a trainwreck regardless. Very lovable trainwreck, though.
Grayson Walker
>Angel Beats
How can a show this terrible have an OP this magnificent?
Aaron Bennett
Well, he did say that D-Frag was god tier, so you shouldn't take that post seriously.
Logan Scott
You win the thread.
Runners up:
Jacob Cruz
Colton Scott
Stand aside plebs, I win.
Jeremiah Smith
HOLY FUCK
Josiah Martinez
youtube.com
The show isn't even bad, the OP is just perfect
Cameron James
Umineko.
The anime was atrocious, and even based Shikata couldn't stop that, but the OP and ED were both fucking great.
youtube.com
Also anything with Aquarion in the title.
Was gonna mention Fractale and Bokurano, but those have already been said.
Henry Williams
Pretty much every angela OP.
Christopher Ramirez
Only the first episode rivals the OP, 2 and 3 were mediocre.
Juan Scott
Oh, and Kekkai Sensen.
Jesus fucking christ that show was a travesty, but same deal as Umino; superlative OP and ED.
Gabriel Nelson
The anime may be a trainwreck but the OP is top tier.
Nathaniel Fisher
shingeki no kyojin's OP is probably one of my favorite OPs ever
youtube.com
from what i've seen of the series it was pretty awful but the OP is just so fucking good god damn
Sebastian Thomas
the boring as fuck children adventures, anything but shit
Levi Hill
Absolute Duo was a 6/10 anime with an 11/10 opening theme
Joseph Hill
This is really pitiful bait.
>frogposting
Yeah, you can't even sink any lower than this.
Andrew Harris
Julian Phillips
youtube.com
This and the ED were top tier, but the show was honestly shit
Aaron Wright
youtube.com
S2 never ;-;
Alexander Gutierrez
Thanks for reminding me asshole ;_;
Nathaniel Edwards
this was the worst bait that I ever watched excluding Please Teacher. And speaking of the Please series, this OP was pretty good for a shitty series imo. MC is based tho and its so sad why his show is dipshit
Austin Jackson
This is bait
Here's one anyway: youtube.com
Brody Morris
>6/10
>students go to school of weapon-summoning, and fight
Almost as bad as "students form pairs where one is a weapon for the other, and fight"
Justin Rodriguez
Shinsekai Yori.
Because the OP was literally nothing.
And nothing is better than Shinsekai Yori.
Nolan White
Edgy.
Xavier Rodriguez
youtube.com
The show wasn't terrible either, but the OP was definitely better.
Hunter Wright
Jeremiah Gomez
I can't use items while jammed or hypnotized! What's the point of this antidote?? I'm a real sucker, now.
Benjamin Lopez
I enjoyed soul eater though ;_;
Nathaniel Jackson
WCW was great.
Andrew Murphy
Don't kid yourself.
Isaac Lewis
WWF was better.
