OP/ED Op-Eds: Battlecry [Samurai Champloo]

As my first opportunity to talk about OPs, there really was no other choice than Samurai Champloo’s sublime Battlecry. Now I won’t lie, I’m a hip hop fan through and through. I know not everyone is, but even if you hate hip hop, there’s something truly wonderful about Nujabes’ musical masterpiece that headlined Shinichiro Watanabe’s stylish follow up to Cowboy Bebop.

OP/ED Op-Eds: Fancy Hearing Cake [Azumanga Daioh]

There is one anime in this world that I have never failed to get a person to like. I have shown this to people from all walks of life, many of whom had never even seen an episode of Dragon Ball Z, let alone were big into the anime scene to begin with. If I had to say what makes Azumanga Daioh such a perennial favorite, it would have to be its approachability mixed with its eccentricity. It brings a light-hearted story with recognizable and utterly endearing characters, even without having to color their hair or give them special powers. Fancy Hearing Cake, the opening for Azumanga Daioh is the first thing anyone sees of this show, and it’s easy to see how it can draw anyone in. From its off the wall presentation to its adorable yet incoherent lyrics, Fancy Hearing Cake is Azumanga Daioh in a nutshell.
