End of the year means lots of retrospective bullshit. I hope your body is ready.
EDs/OPs in alphabetical order. Mostly because I don’t want to deal with any bitching about ranks.
Best EDs
Gundam Build Fighters
ED
N/A because Japanese copyright holders and Youtube are lousy sacks of shit.
Song
N/A because Japanese copyright holders and Youtube are lousy sacks of shit.
Reason: I like that hand-reachy thing in the beginning.
Hajime no Ippo Rising
ED (Super LQ)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy9xYsxlQRA
Song
Reason: Cuz it almost made me want to watch the show. Hey everyone who fucking bitched to no end about me not reviewing it, maybe you’d have had more success if you weren’t the only ones to bother with watching it. How’s it feel being old?
Kyoukai no Kanata
ED
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaiZcARyXQI
Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc7FdIyeoNY
Reason: Pigeons are the best of all the great birds.
Miss Monochrome
ED (Not like this normally; image fucked up to avoid copyright controls)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK3hU2NmIGg
Song
N/A. I dunno if there’s even a full version out yet.
Reason: Cuz it’s a show about some Vocaloid. How the fuck would it not have a good ED?
Non Non Biyori
ED
N/A because Japanese copyright holders and Youtube are lousy sacks of shit.
Song
Reason: I don’t have to explain myself to you.
Samurai Flamenco (ED Alt, episode 10)
ED
N/A. I guess nobody was cool enough to upload this shit to Youtube. And don’t fucking look at me; I don’t have the time to deal with that shit.
Song
N/A. See above.
Reason: Yeah, it was a shitty segue from the end of the episode, and yeah, it was a fucking lazy 10 frame-ED, but goddammit that song was sugoi.
Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai!
ED
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvo3wm6lUQw
Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZEB4XMX76s
Reason: This is proof the show should have been about stupid idol bullshit instead of fucking wrestling. Come on Japan, did you really think I could get off to girls screaming in pain for 24 minutes? I can’t fucking last that long.
Unbreakable Machine-Doll
ED
Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVfe-Z0I-k
Reason: Hype hype hype.
Best OPs
Whether you agree or disagree doesn’t really matter cuz these lists are objective fact.
LOL Thanks man :D
Sasami-san and Mondaiji-tachi not included.
The spirit of Christmas cannot forgive you for this.
Oh, and Railgun S too >:(
Yeah, those were great Fall 2013 shows, weren’t they?
Best EDs/OPs of Fall 2013
Fall 2013.
Great! I knew something was wrong when those are not included.
I’m the best OP?
Awww, thanks~ <3
All seriousness? Best OP/EDs for this season are:
Tokyo Ravens OP – X-Encounter
Freezing Vibration OP – Avenge World
Strike the Blood OP – Strike the Blood
This season's music felt kinda blah to me tbh.
I’m with you on Tokyo Ravens, but Freezing and Strike the Blood’s OPs sucked.
Best OP – Kyousougiga, Log Horizon, YowaPeda, Galilei Donna, Kuroko’s Basketball 2, Kyokai no Kanata, Tokyo Ravens.
Best ED – Kyousougiga, Log Horizon, Kyoukai no Kanata, Galilei Donna.
The only OP I agree with you on is Tokyo Ravens. Do you get off on boredom or something?
Did you even check Log Horizon’s OP? It’s better than everything you’ve suggested. DATABASE RULEZ.
>Implying nobody watches Hajime no Ippo

Hajime no Ippo: Rising
Score: 8.621 (scored by 3195 users)
Popularity: #1628
Members: 10,590
The only people who watched it are 30-year-olds clinging to the past.
Im 17 and i watch it but I only started it a while ago I was only 4 when the first season started
Miss Monochrome isn’t a Vocaloid. She’s a character designed (I think) and voiced by Horie Yui.
Close enough.
>no DATABASE
ur tastes suck ass D_S
Below is the list of people who both watch Hajime no Ippo: Rising and have opinions worth listening to:
Kyoukai no Kanata: good themes, good visuals, meh everything else
Samurai Flamenco: the first ED theme I’ve ever preordered
Machine Doll: not a fan of it in general, but the intro/extro (“hai!”) were entertaining enough for me to merely skip most of the ED
Maybe I need to watch Non Non Biyori since a friend keeps gushing about it, but all she seems capable of saying about it is “cute”.
デートTIME has had a few clean versions on YT, but they’ve all been taken down within a week or two. All I can find now is a bad E4 chop job and some sped up/slowed down full length versions.
I also rather enjoyed Log Horizon’s ED. I admit that half of my enjoyment came from laughing at Yun*chi’s hilarious pronunciation of “zutto”. The closest word to her very clear “zueta” is “tsumeta”, so it became known as the “I’m full!” song at my house. The other half is just the sugar injection after the snooze fest that nearly every episode of Log Horizon has turned out to be.
Non Non Biyori pretty much only has “cute” going for it. It’s not really my kind of show, but if you like slice-of-life, you’ll enjoy it.
SamFlam’s ED song wasn’t bad. The ED itself was just lazy as fuck, so I didn’t put it up here. Same thing goes for Log Horizon’s ED.
I like the Yozakura Quartet OP…
I liked the second OP better. It felt like I was watching an entire episode itself.
I think it was the OP from the Hoshi no Umi OVAs. Y’know, if you were curious about that.
I actually was. OVA fiesta time.
You were watching three episodes, actually.
For that episode, they played the opening of the three-part OVA series along with a montage of clips from said series.
They did it because the arc that the OVA covers takes place in between those two arcs in the TV series.
Whoa, what? That was actually a thing that happened? Fuck yeah, 2013 is saved!
It’s called Hoshi no Umi. I think Sekinin actually just released a BD batch within the past day or so.
all quartets lead to the?
YZQ is my second-favorite show of the season, but the OP didn’t do much for me. I’d probably be more favorable of it if it didn’t shit out halfway through with the tone shift (right around the hiroiatsumeta/old man council time).
I actually wish the entire thing was just Hime walking around the cardboard cutout town with people appearing over the buildings and doing shit.

Best Ending :D
>Not liking Hajime No Ippo
Site dropped.
I ain’t 40. What did you expect?
“I ain’t 40. What did you expect?”
Good taste?
The show looks more generic than Naruto filler.
No thanks; there are more promising shows to spend 100+ episodes on.
The fights are portrayed with a sense of realism. Generic couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Dark_Sage sticks to the currently airing shows with little to no exception. Because of work and site stuff and all that. But should you ever have a sudden desire to visit the classics, Hajime no Ippo should rank among the top of your list.
m8 you trolling me right now?
Also
>not liking Ippo’s opening
>not listing Kamen Rider Gaim’s opening as the best of the year
Do you even Japan you filthy casual?
Best OP: Shinsekai Yori OP.
As much as I agree with you, check the post title again.
As much as I agree with you, Shinsekai Yori has no OP.
Eh, I knew it was missing one of them, but I assumed I was remembering which one wrong and rolled with it.
