With the winter season already out the door and our Spring First Impressions taking up our time, we decided to not have an OP/EDs last week. So, have a double feature with the best of last season!
OP: Bloody Stream by Coda (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
ED: Stand Up ED! by the Ixion Cast (Ixion Saga DT)
Bloody Stream by Coda
Sono Chi no Sadame was a manly anthem, fitting the gentleman that was Jonathan Joestar, so we were all left wondering what kind of OP sequence his grandson would get. Bloody Stream is a crazed, psychedelic romp through the utter silliness that is the Battle Tendency arc, full of colorful silhouettes and bombastic action. We couldn’t have asked for a better opening to represent Joseph Joestar.
Stand UP ED! by the Ixion Cast
Sometimes an ED just screams “I belong to this anime!” in a way that manages to improve the quality of the anime itself. This is one such ED. Could a man with no balls ever hope for a more appropriate theme song than this? I don’t think so.





I preferred Phantom’s Blood OP over Battle Tendency, but it’s fine as long as it’s Jojo !!
Phantom Blood was airing during Fall 2012 and not the Winter 2013 season, so it was ineligible for this particular post. We did feature it on OP/ED Op-Eds earlier, though.
