Pretty much all of us at the GLORIO crew agree that Attack on Titan’s spectacular OP is one of the best of the season. Or if not the best, it certainly made the greatest impression. And of course something so ridiculous would lead to parodies. So we decided to compile a list of our favorite…
Sorry folks, the rest of the GLORIO crew is still pretty busy these days so it’s up to me to bring you guys your weekly dosage of OP/ED Op-Eds: 90s Edition. This week’s feature is a bit of a borderline case, being a 1999-2000 show, but what the hell, I’m including it anyways. Prepare your…
Unfortunately for you guys, nobody stepped up to the plate this week so y’all get to deal with me again. This week I’m featuring another favorite of mine from the 90s: “Smile Bomb”, the funky first OP for the original ghost/monster/demon fighting manga starring a delinquent, YuYu Hakusho.
Despite being on the younger side of the age spectrum amongst the GLORIO crew, it seems that most of my favorite OPs and EDs are classics. Not sure if that says anything about me, but it’s not changing today. For this week’s OP/ED Op-Eds, I’d like to feature a special favorite of mine, “Driver’s High”…
YEAH YEAH YEAH, YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
We’ve already featured GaoGaiGar’s famously bombastic opening here on OP/ED Op-Eds, but this time round we’re going to go in the opposite direction and take a look at its ending. Whereas ‘Yuusha-Oh Tanjou!’ embodies the headlong dumb rush that the show so loved, ‘Itsuka Hoshi no Umi de’ (‘Someday in the Sea of Stars’) is pretty…
Yet another Monogatari song featured on OP/EDs. I apologize for nothing!
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!
“Secret Base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~ 10 Years After Version is the full name of the song we heard at the end of that anime.
Join Jel as he kicks back and pretends on he’s off on an island with a bunch of socially awkward anime boys and NOT buried under a foot of snow and ice.
Love or hate the series, one cool thing Oreimo had going for it was a new ending song for every episode. Each of the female cast members gets their chance to step up to the mic, but even with more popular actresses like Ayana Taketatsu and Kana Hanazawa in the mix it’s Saori Hayami’s “Shiroi Kokoro” that stands out as the best.
I think pretty much everyone is in agreement that the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya didn’t really live up to the promise of the first (Endless Eight is mostly the reason to blame). But one place where it did overhaul its predecessor was in its choice of opening music. Call me a heretic if…
As the resident hot blooded contributor to the blog, it would be unacceptable for me to not feature one of finest OPs in super robot history. Getter Robo Armageddon is often considered one of the first anime adaptations of Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa’s super robot classic, Getter Robo, to accurately portray the manliness and…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsoMhIUg4Hk Yoko Kanno gets a ton of credit for her musical scores, and deservedly so. It’s worth noting though that she can also write a mean pop song, usually under one of her various pseudonyms. No where is this more evident than with Macross Frontier, with Kanno composing both the score and the majority of…
It’s been a busy day here at the Glorio Blog, electing a new president and what not. So for this week’s OP/EDs I present an OP that needs no further explanation other than Gunbuster/Diebuster is rad and this is still one of the catchiest OPs of all time. Have fun getting this out of your…
We sure do love Miyuki Sawashiro.
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.
With the Summer season coming to a close we’re dedicating this week’s OP/EDs to our favorite OP and ED of the past season. Not a lot of noteworthy opening and endings to choose from this Summer, but these two definitely stand out above the rest.
