The Blog of Xbolt

Alas, the time has come again to wrap up another season of Xbolt’s Anime Reviews by posting a few words about all the openings.

Ghost in the Shell – I don’t really know what to say about this… It’s… Enchanting.

Full Metal Panic! (Fumoffu? and TSR) – Not too bad. Of the three, I like the first one the best.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – Very nice. Very VERY nice.

Serial Experiments Lain – That one line at the beginning is what makes this not awesome, but AWESOME.

Macross Frontier (OP1, OP2, OP3) – I couldn’t find a video of the actual OP1. So you get just the song.

Angel Beats! (Normal and Special) – The normal one is a very nice piano piece, and Yui’s special guitar version is very good too.

Bakemonogatari (OP1, OP2, OP3, OP4, OP5) – Many OPs, for the different girls. My favorite is Tsubasa’s. By far.

Valkyria Chronicles (OP1 and OP2) – I can’t decide which is better, really…

Black★Rock Shooter – Pure. Liquid. Awesome.

Cromartie High School – XD

Record of Lodoss War – Not too shabby. That 90’s style has a certain charm to it.

Interstella 5555 – It’s Daft Punk. I shouldn’t have to say anything else.

Summer Wars – Epic. Epic. And… EPIC.

Paranoia Agent – Creepy.

Touhou Project Side Story – It’s alright…

Paprika – The song, combined with the animation, lets you know that you’re in for a treat when you watch this film. This is one of my favorite openings.

Evangelion (1.0, 2.0) – Beautiful, to put it simply. I really like the guitar in the second one. I can’t decide which version I like better, though… I go back and forth.

K-ON!! (OP1, OP2) – Just a bit too fast. I liked the first season’s OP more.

This is where our paths must part. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday. You know where to find me…
