What makes an Opening sequence bad? I'll start:
>Spoilers in OP
>Characters running across a field
>Characters flying in the sky
Not sequence releated but
>Guitar riff in the full version

>Characters running across a field
aaaaaaaaaaaaa I fucking hate this
Gavin White
The only thing that matters is the song
Mason Ward
Animes should have an OP like from the regular show.
Joshua Price
>>Characters running across a field
But it looks so cool.
Anthony Bennett
No it looks fucking stupid and it ruins literally every OP
Jose Ross
You should fuck off
Jayden Watson
What makes it so "cool?"
Matthew Gonzalez
>Characters reaching up into the sky
>A dance sequence
>Stern side-profile expressions while wind blows their hair in an obvious animation loop
Alexander James
A sorta melancholic section right before the more upbeat chorus.
Xavier Harris
showing static frames of side characters one at a time to say "hey they're here too" at roughly the end of the OP
Oliver Carter
Gochiusa has some deep opening sequences
Pic related.
Andrew Kelly
is this a trope
Thomas Sanchez
Implying you faggots could even run 5 meters without dropping dead to exhaustion.

It introduces us to every major character, shows us their personality traits, uses inventive shots and interesting compositions, hints at the plot using relevant but not overtly spoilery imagery and has a fitting song.
So naturally a bad OP is one that tells us nothing about the characters, spoils the plot, uses stale an uninventive shots and has a bad song.

Jokes on you I'm a world famous track athlete.

So the mekakucity actors opening.

i'm /out/ as fuck, come at me candyass
Tyler Hughes
Dance sequence can be hit or miss. Some are pretty badly done
Jayden Young
Talking segments. Like the start of the gabriel dropout op with all the gibberish before the title logo or pic related.
Elijah Richardson
>caring about spoilers
Evan Robinson
aaaaaa run the tripfags are here
Julian Brown
They're only bad when none of the fansubbers translate them.
John Rodriguez
They don't make a cool scene for the high part of the song. This kills OPs. Mahouka does this well for example.
Luke Sullivan
Watching someone run gets your brain thinking you're in motion and energetic. Very cool.
Mason Turner
watching them jump is way cooler
Asher Jones
Yeah that is pretty cool.
Bentley Carter
Jonathan Hughes
Also when all it does is show the characters and them doing something not special. Just make it good and rewatchable.
Samuel Parker
Sad melodramatic scene is one of the best things about openings. Look at how many times FMA does it and all those OPs are great.
Justin Jones
When they match up the song voice with a character who is the opposite gender or completely not the same voice at all. Fuuka did this and I didn't realize for a few a episodes, but it bothered me once I realized Fuuka doesn't even sing the OP.
Bentley Hill
This reminds me. Monogatari openings are super hit and miss. Have you seen them? Some are great, some are just flat out weird. The songs may be good, but the opening animation is completely trash.
Leo Harris
Agreed. Monkey's 1st, Bee, and Crab's second opening were garbage.
The best ones are math, both Ougi, and Nadeko's
Joseph Carter
>OP is just clips of the first two episodes mashed together
Ian Green
Damn, you don't see that often. I have seen it before though.
Christian Gomez
>Spoilers in OP
Not bad if it's subtle though.
Nathaniel Davis
Oshiete Galko-chan was even worse, since literally every episode is a mash-up of the previous episodes.
Ian Johnson
>Second OP reuses clips from the first OP
Ian Thomas
>new OP is exactly the same as the first OP but with a different song
Angel Lee
>2nd op is just another part of the first op
Anthony Williams
I mean the one you posted isn't the stereotypical field run, so.
Lincoln Murphy

Jose Barnes
Opening by Fear and Loathing.
Liam James
>tfw none of the subbers across the three seasons have translated the stuff they say during the OPs
Christopher Gutierrez
As you can see the first one has some pseudo subs, which are fine enough, and I think Encore also got subs for the remade OP. Not sure about Pururun though.
Jace Morales
If you think that's bad, you should have seen Battle Programmer Shirase's initial opening. Literally just a handful of random episode 1 clips repeated several times, set to a song with a suspicious similarity to Never Gonna Give You Up.
Evan Hernandez
But those are amazing. Scryed, TTGL and Bakuman used it to great effect.
Then again, there's also HxH 2011 which kept switching back and forth between the two verses for 148 episodes.
Cameron Powell
baby steps did that and i think it was well executed

These are what make anime openings great.
Noah Cruz
FUCKN BIRDS = FREEDUMB BECAUSE MC WANTS TO BE FREE IT'S A METAPHOR BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A TRAVELLER AND FLIES ACROSS THE LAND LIKE A BIRD FLIES IT'S REALLY DEEP
Hunter Martinez
More like what did Boku Dake ga Inai Machi's opening do completely right?
Camden Murphy
GATE, or anything else by the akeboshi rockets.
Landon Powell
Luke Sanders
>its a placeholder OP filled with stationary stock images of the characters because they couldn't finish the actual OP on time
Tyler Anderson
That one is shit.
Aaron Rodriguez

Colton Parker

I like the show, but Yuru Camp OP is the worst OP I've seen recently. It feels like it has been made for 200 yen in Blender. Cheap 3d effects, awkward transitions, the fucking tent just twitching around for like 10 seconds. WTF were they thinking?
Asher Anderson
Reminds me of Stella no Mahou ED, which was a literal Windows XP screensaver with music.
Elijah Ward
Yeah, but that Jackson 5 hook though.
Evan Scott

Because it's over and they're never coming back, user ;_;
Isaiah Davis
I take it you don't like the Konosuba S2 OP then?
Kayden Edwards
>Spoilers in OP
I like this when it's subtle or quick enough that you don't catch it until you've seen the whole show.
Julian Rogers
Both Konosuba OP were mediocre at best.
Hunter Cook
Cocoa is smart
Gabriel Richardson
I don't like Konosuba
Jason Butler
