    this ending for Arikawa Under The Bridge isn't hype exactly, but it is a song that really stuck with me

    I think the only anime op that I've actually bought and listen to with some regularity is Binary Star from Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5fk80I3orw

    I like the opening because its a very pretty song playing over a some stills of a bunch of glowering or smirking war men.

    Hello Oberstein you nearly 40 year old who looks like a teenager. Really not a fan of the youngification of the older cast in Die Neue These.

    On the whole, it's a pretty unnecessary update/adaptation.

    I'm probably just going to watch it anyway, and also buy the books, cos the world has taken up residence in my head.

    Gurren Lagann is one of the few pieces of media that I feel I appreciate more as time goes on, and I loved it at release. I guess maybe because the last decade has personally really felt like a series of "of, you thought that was shit? Hold my beer!" and the show's response to the escalation being pure, undiluted "well fuck them then, we'll just fight back harder!" really lands.

    The first time I thought Black Clover moved from "okay" to "actually good" was this scene, which features their first OP as an insert song (all of their OPs are bangers, though):

    Black Clover spoilers
    When I read this scene in the original manga, this song played in my head as super fitting to the level and direction of the action:
    https://youtu.be/nNDmLA5a5zg

    The way the strings and guitar move faster and faster matches the pace of the scene as the main character moves faster and faster to overcome the antagonist.

    Zonugal if the one volume question is for the bunker thread, you're probably better off asking for 6 manga stories, not 6 individual volumes. Most of them are multiples, and omnibuses don't really exist.

    You saw through my clever guise!

    Why don't you just do series then? Why limit it to a single book?

    The challenge is what makes the enterprise fun, MUNKUS.

    They put that song to fucking work in Part 4. Every instance when the opening riff serves as a prelude to the ending credits, you know some Hype Shit is about to go down next episode.

    Disagree. It's following the books a lot more closely then the original OVA and some of the changes (handling of Jessica, Oberstein and Reinhardt's culpability in the Westerland incident) are really really good.

    Also it's incredibly pretty, the character designs are on point and the music is incredible

    So I had a friend recently who'd watched the first 10 or so episodes of Evangelion and was annoyed enough at the sexism to ask if it was worth going.

    It was a very difficult decision because while I can't in good conscience honestly recommend watching that to anyone, I really really wanted to hear her react to getting to the original TV ending.

    Takagi-San anime did another all-original episode not found in the manga and again, somehow it's a better story than what's been told so far in the manga. The anime original episodes actually push the plot forward and you can tell the director/writers just get what makes the series work so well. It's full of cliches but they love playing around with them, so I'll give them a pass. Most anime adaptations lose something in the translation but I'd say this is the rare case where the anime is the de facto, definitive version.

    Mob Psycho 100 is one of the very few anime that I would give 10/10 to.

    I also think that the first opening may actually be the best opening ever created.

    I liked the first season of OPM better than the first season of Mob. And then the second seasons rolled around and Mob shot into the stratosphere while OPM faceplanted so hard it broke open the sewer system.

    I assume they stretched everything out so much because ONE hadn't written much further and they didn't want to run out of his storyboards/webcomic to adapt from and have to go on haitus. It was just ironically in a manga adaptation of a different manga rather than an anime adaptation of a manga for once.

    Say what you will about Dragon Ball Super, there's no denying the effectiveness of the "Oops, all stingers" opening to the Ultra Instinct theme.

    Anyway, I caught up on MHA: Vigilantes today and uh. That's wrapping up in like 2-3 chapters, innit? Glad I came back to it, though.

    Even aside from the stretching, and it's just covering things directly from the webcomic

    I just really like the original OPM webcomic, and as amazing as Murata's art is, it loses some of the charm
