No repeats from the previous poll. Cuz that’d be lame.
Heads up
Due to Youtube’s hard-on for copyright, some of the Youtube videos here are gonna be rather low-quality or modified in some way to escape automatic copyright flags. So I would recommend using the webm links if you’re not bandwidth starved. (640×360: 10-20 MB, 1280×720: 20-40 MB)
Best OP

Best ED

OPs/EDs watched for this Pollday, along with my initial impressions and the episode I watched them in:
Spoiler for
Say what you will about my best taste, but I put a lot of effort into refining it for ya. <3
Had to go with Akatsuki for the OP, even though Fear and Loathing (from the Parasyte OP) have the non-dubious honor of being one of the few Japanese bands I have in my go-to music list.
Ending was a difficult choice between Buddyfight and The Rolling Girls, but I went with the latter cuz I’m all about nice days.
I totally forgot about Parasyte. Best OP for me. ED would be Ghoul.
Holy shit, that Yona ED is amazing.
‘Let me Hear”s indeed still the best.
ED = Future Card buddyfight <3
Edit: Actually, fuck that, Rollings Girls is better
P.s. Is there any reason why you don't embed your webm links into the thread? (As you do with the Youtube videos?)
People complained the last time I embedded them. Said something about how it was sucking up all their bandwidth and they wouldn’t be able to afford to read my posts anymore if I kept it up.
Ah ok I see… fussy much.
I haven’t done any bandwidth tests, but I don’t believe the webms even load until you hit the play button.
Anyway, yeah, I don’t really wanna turn anyone away just cuz they’re poor. But at the same time, I don’t wanna fuck with the standard user’s experience. Always fun to have a balancing act.
I was about to bring up the topic of autoplaying videos, but thought maybe the webm’s buffer/load (and not play) in the background.
Personally I would have the Webm links embedded with the relative Youtube URL underneath… or no Youtube link at all, but like you said, fun balancing act indeed.
You forgot to list Seven Deadly Sins OP2. It’s notable for being the worst OP of the season.
Fucking hell, I forgot that show was still going. I loved that shit too. Worst OP? Well, let’s see. I’ll report back.
Yeah, that was pretty shit. Not in a “haha, this is so hilariously bad” way, but in an “I’m still agitated from having watched that” way. ._.
These lists are 真不好
Thanks. Strangely enough, Google fucked up the translation for that. By a mile. Had to fix it myself.

ｔｏｐ ｋｅｋ
This is why we can’t have nice things!
Parasyte for OP is no competition lol.
Yona’s my pick from the EDs. Those vocals sound amazing from start to finish.
Shikata Akiko is a goddess. That’s all I have to say about the ED poll. Though Yona wins OP for me as well.
Akatsuki no Yona for best OP
Surprised you put World Break in… though not surprised you didn’t put Death Parade’s or AssClass in.
Yuri Kuma for EDAkatsuki no Yona best all
Parasyte OP is pretty much the best for me.
Too bad Yuri Kuma OP isn’t in this because it is….
….very Sexy. Shabadadu.
Let Me Hear was best OP for me before I know its official lyrics.
Saekano for ED.
Parasyte’s OP is still damned good. I’m quite liking Yatterman’s whole OP package too, visuals and music.
Opening: Akatsuki no Yona
Ending: Akatsuki no Yona. Considered Yurikuma and Kantai though.
Only 9 votes for Kantai Collection? You little pieces of sh…
You’re all disgraceful Admirals! Hang yourselves already. :x
These Fear and Loathing fuckheads sure love to kill their songs with shit autotune.
Where are all the good ones
Ask Japan.
Am I the only one who thinks Yona’s new opening is absolutely terrible? My head hurts just listening to it. It sounds like a cross between the generic house music you hear in clubs and the worst migraine I’ve ever had.
That’s why I like it. Shit, I listen to Blood on the Dance Floor, so don’t expect too much of me.
The lack of Durarara in your polls is shocking and should be rectified immediately.
Man, fuck Drrr’s OP. You can’t shoehorn a preview into the middle of it and expect me to be all “Oh boy thanks a lot, aniplex! Sure needed to be reminded of what happened last week!”
It usually blends nicely.
The 360p WebM for Seiken Tsukai no World Break is linked twice.
Speaking of, that song seriously reminds me of Ali Project.
Argh, thanks.
It totally reminds me of Ali Project as well. Made me think of Code Geass.
That’s because it was produced by ALI Project specifically for Petit Milady.
Same here D_S

There is no room for discussion.
Whoa, keep that nostalgia away from me. I’m trying to be productive here!
…
And now I want to watch them again.
Elfen Lied won’t hold up, so leave that one to your memories.
