What is the best anime opening theme of all time?
I personally like "give a reason" but I don't think it can beat zankoku. That thing is a fucking monster.

Holy shit, mega BASED list my fellow German brother.
It depends what qualifies an opening to be the best. Is it whether the opening is iconic? Popular and/or recognisable? I'd say it's the opening that sets a precedent of some sort, which would make the question hard to answer. Falling back on iconic openings I think the easy answer is Tank, which has had enough staying power to still be played in jazz concerts.

normalfag detected
On the one hand, it's an inarguable, profoundly good and iconic op. On the other hand, I thoroughly approve of triggering fragile little snowfl/a/kes who can't handle certain words like "normie".

not the best but late 90s ops were as best as they could possibly be
Thank you for sharing some music, I was not aware of her other projects aside of her solitary works. I hear often people tend to prefer Noir, maybe is it's compactness and sweadness?
Netherless, I chose OP2 because share the anxiety of loss and dramatism of fatality of the last parts of the show.
Idk, tv's shortness make them appear to be two sets of the same songs. Intrumental parts give them alot while not letting them get stale, and frankly I like the instruments by themselves. Also, I'm not talking about the Radio Onsen Eutopia (2013) album versions which feel disonant and apathetic but the 'CD single' ones (2011).

People who listen to osts are the worst type of losers with no taste that can't wrap their heads around the genres their favorite osts are derived from without the nostalgia from the show influencing their listening experience
ITT: plebs

No one ever posts this one. Shame.
I can't pick only one but I'll post one of my favorites
m.youtube.com
Not a great anime but I like the song
depends on the composer. osts are the present day version of "classical"
>losers with no taste that can't wrap their heads around the genres their favorite osts are derived from...
I mostly posted that as a joke, but never have I seen something so blatantly wrong. The good OSTs are build on the foundation of classical music, and music from Japanese entertainment in particular seems to be much closer to that foundation than whatever comes from the west nowadays. It's often very similar to oldschool Hollywood music that was mostly inspired by classical masters like Wagner. You and most of the population have forgotten what music should actually be about, and mistake it for a "taste".
That's the worst SnK OP by a mile.
>not only listening to anime OSTs, but actually fucking praising them as the best music ever so deep
this is fucking textbook weeb behavior, do you have any self-awareness?
My favorite anime song is an ending too
m.youtube.com
Comments might have Madoka spoilers for any of the 10 people here who haven't seen it
i see yours and raise you
vimeo.com
there are excellent examples of its genre. you say its all derivative, but thats wrong
youtube.com
>the absolute state of this post
Wew lad, how much do you actually know about classical music? Especially Opera like Wagner?
Yes, classical music is the best music genre as long as its music itself that interests you instead of some dumb lyrics slapped over overused chord progressions, or the celebrities. It's simply observing the facts. In the west, the music in cinematography and entertainment in general has shifted towards the more popular and dumbed down genres and moodpieces to entertain the non discerning masses. Music from the Japanese equivalent of this (and most likely not only Japanese, but that's the one I see the most) has stayed true to the classical foundation.
If I am to be perfectly honest, you can enjoy pretty much any genre and I wouldn't draw any kind of conclusions about you as a person for liking a particular one, but I definitely draw the line when seeing statemens like "losers with no taste that can't wrap their heads around the genres their favorite osts are derived from".
Even though there is nothing wrong with enjoying it ocassionally, you are consuming a musical equivalent of fast food and think people who enjoy fine cuisine are losers with no taste. That just grinds my gears no matter how I think about it.
This.
the one who doesnt know is you. "classical" refers to music of past eras that were foundational to western music development, and includes baroque, [actual] classical, romantic and contemporary eras
Except that classical is also a catch-all term for composed music from all of those eras and disciplines, you fucking retard. Don't think that you can win arguments by going "gotcha!" you mentally deficient sea cucumber.
I don't want to blogpost, but in short, I studied it before moving to STEM, played in orchestra, listened to classical for many years and even compose occasionally though I'm an absolute amateur in that regard.
I think the important thing is that the only statement I made about Wagner is that he was one of the prominent composers that inspired what we call movie music today. Do you disagree with this statement? If not, perhaps it's the overall tone of my post, but that would be your personal problem, not mine.
No, I absolutely wouldn't disagree with your statement on Wagner being influential to movie/soundtrack music, especially with his leitmotifs and all that.
you singled out opera for some reason, when its a derivative of the vocal church music from the baroque era that got developed into its own theatrical style. are you complaining about opera not being used in osts very much? im not sure why u singeld it out when there is so much ost work to pick from
>superior Japanese OSTs composed over 1000 times.
love these bubble gum rock ops
youtube.com
I think I've sperged out more than I intended itt and it was not my intention to derail it, so I will just say that it wouldn't become what it is without the western inspiration. Perhaps I'm just a half-weeb? But seriously, listen to some Toshihiko Sahashi, Kohei Tanaka, Masamichi Amano, perhaps even Taku Iwasaki's string quartets and compare it to contemporary western composers.
Here's one of the OPs I remember I was able to digest although I can't really call it my favorite piece. Beggars can't be choosers though, the condition that it has to be OP limits me too much.
