Many of the songs are better heard more than just the 5 seconds. The 5 seconds shown sometimes don't justify why they are on the list. There also quite a number that made more impact to those who watched the anime. But, am glad that you enjoyed some of the 5 seconds and notably a few songs from the same artists/bands like: Aimer, LiSA, UVERworld. The others are pretty spread out and like I said, they are even better if you listen to them beyond that 5 seconds. Hope you get to listen to them someday!

Is it me or does anyone else get chills when your heart resonates with some of the openings

someone probably already answered, but they get actual bands to make the songs, which looking at it, is a very big missed opportunity for openings we do over here, because not only does it give the band something to create without much thought, it gives fans something to relate their song (or songs in a lot of cases) to, which also gives them publicity which is the most important thing, especially for up and coming bands musical anime especially, they put in actual bands/idols most of the time, names changed sometimes, to also give them that boost to publicity as well as to see how well they will handle the stardom and performing regularly

First a lot of these need a lot more than 5 seconds to really sell how absolutely amazing they are. It's a huge task but I'm sure a lot of us would be interested in seeing you do as many as possible. Now for the "who's the strongest" competition. of course some people like to do it but generally it's next to impossible to accurately determine. Anime powers scaling gets really insane in some series. Like destroying entire outerverses or whatever bs like that. Saitama was made as a gag character kind of like popeye in a way, he wasn't really made to lose. That said even saitama likely wouldn't beat some characters in some anime that are capable of straight up erasing him from existence. But again, Saitama was created with the intention that he would never lose so it's really hard to say. There is a wiki called (vs battle) that you can look at though that uses evidence from the different series to as accurately as possible rank their strengths and weaknesses in tiers that can help decide outcomes.

Something a bit different today! Let me know a good place to start for an anime novice.

I would definitely recommend listening to LiSA (not to be confused with BP Lisa). As many have said, she is the queen of anime openings, and has a beautiful voice, especially when she does the first take/stripped down type of stuff. My favorites are Gurenge and Homura. If you do listen to those, def listen to the studio version and her first take versions. I can tell you also kind of like the sound of UVERWorld and Aqua Timez. I think it'd be cool for you to also check out the longer versions of Samurai Champloo themes (done by the artist Nujabes). As for anime recommendations, I would definitely think you'd enjoy Parasyte, Tokyo Ghoul, Death Note, and Jujutsu Kaisen (one of my current faves), Elfen Lied (this is one of my top faves of all time and is fairly dark in story).

I think that a great anime starter is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I personally started watching anime after My Hero Academia. However, I personally think that Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a masterpiece that can drag people into the "anime world". The story is fantastic and the music is phenomenal. The anime is definitely like riding a rollercoaster (one that makes you feel all the emotions). The story makes you think of the world in a different way. Even if you don't start with this one, I totally recommend you to put it on your watch list!

Definitely glad you started listening to the full versions of the songs. From what you describe you like and because you are new, my biased opinion is that you watch Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Without giving too much away, it does revolve around two brothers, but the show does a great job developing all characters. It has horror/dar disturbing parts, but also the action, suspense, political intrigue stuff and also just the heart, really hits deep. Now I am biased, the show holds a special place in my heart because I first watched it with my brother and we finished it right before he was leaving to join the navy . Yeah so biased, but I think most would agree overall it's an excellent anime and very good for someone new.

Tokyo Ghoul's first opening is my favorite of all time. I could listen to that song on repeat and not get bored! Also love the Inuyasha closing songs as well. 😁

Hey! You gotta watch the opening of Tower of God, Straykids made the song : Top and there is Slump which is at the end of the anime. There are Japanese and English versions for both I think

I find myself agreeing with everyone recommending attack on Titan and demon slayer. But it would be silly not to mention Jujutsu kaisen as that pretty much ticks all of your preference boxes. It's also a very new anime so there's not loads of episodes to catch up on but it is very good

God the amount of nostalgia I experienced, I may have freaked out when I heard some of these as well, some of these are truly epic god tier level music, and actually legit mean a lot to me, and I forgot most of them lol. Especially bye bye yesterday from assassination classroom season 2, and the promised neverland one by uverworld, touch off. Those are probably my favourites.

13:58, one of the ones you liked, is from one of the most famous anime composers in Japan, Hiroyuki Sawano. His intros, BGM and OST are some of the best out, he collaborates with awesome singers. You should check out the first take of Aldnoah.Zero's opening, aLIEz, which I'm very disappointed wasn't in this list, you'd probably have loved it. And I suggest you start with watching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Mushoku Tensei or Ousama ranking!

Hi, Mr. Luke!!! I used to listen to these collections while doing chores around the house. They're awesome!! If you want something dark, gory, intense... I'd suggest Attack on Titan. Ajin is another great one. The intros are usually what causes me to check out different animes. Hope you have the best day ever and thank you for your videos!!!

It’s interesting to see how you react really positively to the songs/singers that I usually really like

i dont know how he manages to make reaction videos so entertaining . oH and he seems like such a sweet guy love him already

I noticed You like the voice of LiSA. She is a Japanese singer named Risa Oribe. She has a great voice. Her songs in this chart were 13th, 65th, 72nd and 83rd. I think that two best songs of her are: "Homura" and "Gurenge". I didn't hear Homura in this chart, but Gurenge was at the 72nd position. Link to "Homura": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ardpd7qLsce9Yok.html Link to "Gurenge": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9aJrJmo3Nfcn6M.html Both links lead to the program: "The First Take" which is also great. We recommended you "Yuki no hana" by Jisoo in Kyocera Dome, Osaka and You weren't disappointed. You won't be disappointed when You listen to any of these songs, either 😃

Attack on Titan is a great anime if you want to watch a series. Really enjoyed Steins Gate too. I dont know why but I struggled with Tokyo ghoul story but loved the first opening song. I love how the songs have that catch that grabs you. I annoy my daughter no end when we sit watching anime together and i cant help sing along 🤣 Theres some great feature length anime films too - studio Ghibli being the most well known production company, however they hit down hard on youtube reviewers etc

Where Lukes journey to anime began. Oh how far we have come.

Damn, this was a trip down memory lane for me. I'm literally sitting here in tears.

An absolutely amazing start for an anime is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the music is amazing, the plot is incredible, the actors are great… it was my first anime and if it makes a difference, I’d watch you watch it! Also, I’d highly recommend Parasyte: the maxim, the Promised Neverland, or Re:Zero for the dark/gory stuff!

I recommend attack on titan,death note,gintama,my hero academia,black clover, one piece, bleach, and fullmetal alchemist. These are some of my favorite anime shows to watch. 😁

Okay, just one second in and I have to say, your audio quality is AMAZING. I have no idea why, I just watched a nother video and it sounded fine, but it sounded like you were right next to me. Crazy.

I love how he unconsciously reacted to all of the UVERworld songs, you can tell they're just his style

For begin in anime world i always make the same recommendation : Monster from Naoki Urasawa. It's one of the best manga : it's an adult dark thriller, it's a very cleaver plot, the writing is brillant. The anime adaptation is very good, it's not a too long serie for beginning, it's taking place in East Europe so it isn't too difficult to follow for western beginner (you don't have to understand some japanese culture). Lots of friends of mine wasn't into manga or anime at all but all of them have love this one. It's a masterpiece !

"Any dark anime version of John Wick?" Darker Than Black, that's exactly the anime you're looking for Others would be: - Black Lagoon (it becomes an actual john wick mirror at season 3) v v - Golgo 13 v - Jourmongrand v v v v v - Cowboy Bebop (more fighting wise. Spike is very similar to John in fighting) v v v - Fist of the North Star?? (it's very good, but old, and not sure how close to john wick it is) Some are similar in gun fights and crime, some are similar in the revenge plot, some have indentical character types to John. No anime is exactly like the movie though

Love your videos dude, I'm watching your anime journey from the beginning here from your Bleach openings reaction video. Based on your descriptions for genre preferences the animes that pop into my mind are Hellsing: Ultimate, Another, Parasyte.

Been following for a few months, but just getting around to watching the video that started it all. I know about 80% of these and agree they deserve spots in a top opening list. A lot of great music here.

Tokyo Ghoul was my first anime and I think it checks all your boxes. I actually almost didn't make it through the first part of episode one but was completely hooked by the end, it just isn't what I normally watch. The opening song, Unravel, is incredible. Some that didn't make this video include Trash Candy by Granrodeo (who were in there a few times) that's an opener for Bungo Stray Dogs and the S1 ending song Namae wo Yobu yo (Call a Name) by Luck Life is one of my favorite songs ever.

If you like dark and bloody horror type of anime, I would recommend "Elfen Lied" "When They Cry - Higurashi" "HELLSING" "Brynhildr in The Darkness" "DEADMAN WONDERLAND" "The Future Diary" If it is similar to John Wick's anime, I would recommend "DARKER THAN BLACK" "Blassreiter" "NO GUN LIFE" "BLACK LAGOON" "Jörmungand" "GUN×SWORD"

You actually found like the perfect list, all of those songs deserve a full song listen (at least on you own although I'd like to see it)

14:14 Attack and Titan, Death Note and Tokyo Ghoul fit that perfectly, although they can admittedly be a bit depressing. But they're very dark and gory lol

I would definitely recommend checking out these openings -Noragami Op 2 (Kyouran Hey Kids - The Oral Cigarettes) -ReZero Op 2 (Paradisus-Paradoxum - Myth & Roid) -Kokkoku Op (Flashback - MIYAVI vs KenKen) -Domestic Girlfriend Op (Crying for Rain - Minami) -Black Clover Op 10 (Black Catcher - Vickeblanka) -Vinland Saga Op 1 (MUKANJYO - Survive Said The Prophet) Some of my personal favorites but also some of the more unique openings, pretty big variety between them.

LUKE....I noticed *LISA* (not Blackpink) but Jpop, sang several of these songs maybe you should check some of her music out. *LISA* Jpop

For anime recommends honestly it depends on what your preferences are and usually you dont know until you watch things you dont like. A lot of times you start out watching certain genres and then branch out and figure out you enjoy more variety. I could easily whip out like 20 recommends but it doesnt really matter too much where you start off so much as youre enjoying it. I think the popular ones like Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Death Note are perfect for entering the genre but you could just as easily start off with comedy, SoL or sports anime.

To answer a question you asked. Opening themes for anime has developed over time, as all things do. In my experience it was far more common in the 80's and 90's for the OP to be done with the voice actors. Ranma½ comes to mind. When it was done it was partly a way to show the characters off more, partly it fit the theme of the series, and partly to save money on a small market. Then you have the ones that seem to have reached out to artists and asked to use already composed music as OP themes. And, of course, the ones that commission entirely new pieces specifically for the series. This has become a lot more common in the last two decades as the anime market has grown to an impressive size.

13:57, so for your information. This song is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. He's pretty much legendary in the world of anime music, certain parts of his songs are referred to as Sawano drop and are known for their sheer epicness. He composed the music for many anime including the one and only Attack on Titan. You want great music? Go watch it. Especially if you like dark, gory and epicness. It's often called the Game of Thrones of anime.

I would recommend "Fullmetal alchemist:brotherhood". -great story, amazing pacing, has a little bit of everything you mentioned, and it's my personal favorite. The first op is a great song too. (Note that FMA and FMA:brotherhood are different, fmab is canon. So if you're going to, you should watch brotherhood) Other than that, i feel like you would absolutely love Attack on titan. The first op is also a banger. And as for full op reaction recommendations, you seemed to like "Demon slayer op 1 - Gurenge". Idk if i'd recommend the anime to you, even if it's one of my favorites, but it is a horror/epic/funny anime. And the Jujutsu kaisen op1 is one of the absolute b e s t anime openings out there. Sorry for the long comment but as a long time weeb i gotta write it all down 😂

Nice reaction!!! I'd love to see you react to more of these!! I think the "100 Most Streamed" lists are better personally bc they use satistics for the most watched intros to detrmine the list order instead of someones opinion. For example Gurnege is the most streamed atm but was below 50 on this list maning lots of great openings where missed out. So I defo reccomend watching one of thoes!! Anyways have an amazing day!!

,,SHIKI" is also another great anime if you're into eerie stuff. It has a great storyline and is also quite socially critical. The art style is a bit unique, but you'll get used to it easily once you start.

Omg Luke.. BTS , soolking , now ANIME OPENINGS .. u really getting me ,, keep up! Best reactor outta here!

LiSA is definitely a Japanese artist to check out. She's amazing. Also think you'd really enjoy VICKEBLANKA (I haven't watched Black Clover but I do love all the intros he's done for it), but I believe he has other songs not specifically for anime. Some intros and outros are by Japanese singers/bands, others are made for the anime. A number of my favourite openings and endings the seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) from the anime sing. On some occasions this is as their characters, and others it's as part of a band with their natural voices. In regards to the differences in the songs with some sounding all happy and upbeat, whilst others are darker. Just be aware if you do go into the world of anime that the openings don't always reflect the content of the anime. Some happy and upbeat intros are for some of the much darker and/or psychological anime. Also pretty much all sport anime openings are pretty great at making you pumped up for the anime. Some of my non-anime friends ask me for recommendations of sport anime and/or shounen openings for them to listen to when at the gym. I have watched a fair amount of anime in a relatively short space of time. Only got into anime back in 2014 with Attack on Titan being my first dive. I've watched over 150 anime and donghua (Chinese animated shows) since. First anime (that I've watched) that came to mind with the genres you typically prefer are Psycho-Pass, Gangsta., Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul and Death Note. Personally I didn't enjoy the latter two (apparently can be seen as something of a sacrilege) but I really enjoyed Psycho-Pass, Attack on Titan, and Gangsta (though Gangsta did end on a cliffhanger and it's unlikely to get a Season 2 sadly). Another one that's more recent that you might enjoy is Akudama Drive. Honestly when you mentioned John Wick (*love* Keanu Reeves in *anything*) my first thought did go to one specific arc of an anime called HunterXHunter but I'm unsure if you'd enjoy it overall. Some arcs with the show I do think you'd appreciate but others might not be your cup of tea. Anime can get heavily copyrighted, sometimes the footage and other times it's the audio. Majority of my videos I make all get copyright claims for several countries, and any video I've made for anime openings/endings are all pretty much copyright claimed in Japan, no matter how short I keep the audio/image. It is a slight annoyance because it does make it harder to introduce more people to anime they might enjoy. I could easily list off dozens of anime openings/endings to check out but I'll just give a few you might enjoy, along with a couple of donghua openings: Kizuato from Given (the anime my profile pic comes from) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oN6bg9ilu7a-YIU.html Renegade from Gangsta. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebVyo7WJ0sWnhYU.html Deal With from Servamp kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9x6rdWm2rnWgoE.html Dying Wish from Moriarty the Patriot kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arh1m9yj39Opm58.html Fukagyaku Replace from Nobunaga Concerto (band is MY FIRST STORY whose singer, Hiro, is Taka's [from ONE OK ROCK] little brother) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fOBpqph73rrMdn0.html STEAL!! from Akudama Drive kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibBonLWj1c7PgaM.html BLIZZARD from Those Snow White Notes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntiqa8Kmut_cdHU.html Until I Wake From Dreaming from Those Snow White Notes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hK6Xo8J73sjKmHU.html Kyōran Hey Kids!! from Noragami kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adV2h6up0LXemnk.html Goya wa Machiawase from Noragami kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nb1zoa6gqs3KgGQ.html Dive Back In Time from LINK CLICK kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcmldsmetNnZc3U.html OverThink from LINK CLICK kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ot9ies2k3bHYl2Q.html 不好惹 from Dao Wang Rao Ming kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ2hlZhnp8rUmYk.html Also for longer videos perhaps check out compilations of the openings (and endings for some) from these anime: Kuroko's Basketball kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5ODlKedsK3YhaM.html Haikyuu!! kzfaq.info/sun/PLMSl8mucEuzOTN_WVOSksxer3cfOvFH1o Bleach kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcymlMSc3tfNdmg.html Psycho-Pass kzfaq.info/sun/PLaIq3mkLlQXh8FcR6mz72Qcv0MZrTeB2D

You should definitely look into the band Uverworld more. You seemed to really like every single one of their songs in this video. They're a wierd band, barely anyone knows of them even tho they have a ton of songs in some of the best anime openings and they're completely unknown in the west but they're absolutely bangin!

If you like the horror genre and want something gory, I definitely recommend the anime "Another". It's a relatively short anime, with a really good opening (visually and musically)

Literally, my favorite anime, with some of my favorite intros, is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Excellent storytelling, wonderful soundtrack, great animation. It’s legendary.

5:27 n°28 The opening of "Neon genesis Evangelion" sang by Yoko Takahashi is one of the most famous one in Japan, it's the song the most sang in karaoke there! You seem to enjoy more the ones with a rock felling so I would recommend you to check about the groups "Flow", "Sid" and the singer LiSA. And for some recommendation of anime to watch (Sorry I'm not good at making summary): - "Another" is a well known horror anime but there's also funny parts. - "Erased" is not very popular but I find it pretty dark, there's a really good plot (it's one of my favorite) - "Durarara" is about groups of gangs in Tokyo, urban legends and there's supernatural things. - "Made in abyss" can seems childish at first sight but is in fact pretty dark, though it take a bit of time for the plot to construct it's really worth it. - "Steins;Gate" If you like time travel this one's for you, I think it treats time travel quite 'accurately' with physic's laws and such. I think there's the right amount of science explanation, they make things logical in a scientific way but it's not like a class - "Shinsekai Yori" this one is really not known (and I found that very sad because it's really good), it's surnatural but not too much and it's definetly dark but the plot can be a bit confusing sometimes. (This is one of the first I have watched and still to this day my top 1 favourite)

I would recommend Made in Abyss, it's cute in the beginning, but don't let that fool you :) It's a great story with fantastic music and very interesting world

I'd recommend Re:Creators as an interesting anime to watch. That was #80 from the list. it was an original series with a great cast of characters and was an interesting subversion of the genre. Essentially it was an anime about "what if anime/manga characters ended up in our world and how would they react?" It also explored some of the concepts and experiences of artists/creators in the industry.

The best Anime song ever is Gurenge by LiSA (Demon Slayer)! Original version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9V2frmZm6qyqX0.html the first take version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9aJrJmo3Nfcn6M.html and finally the live version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7GDiK6I1dG4Zmg.html Go ahead and enjoy, LiSA is one of the greatest from Japan...in my humble opinion! 😉

Don’t know if someone already mentioned this ~ some anime are very long with several seasons, and some are shorter with a definite story line that has an end. The longer running shows often choose new intro animation & music with each new story arch or season as they move through the show. 😊

I like how when after he told his preference of genre the moment he went back into the video it showed Ajin which has pretty much had all genres he prefered except for horror. Anyway recommend Future Diary, Promised Neverland, Tokyo Ghoul, Demon Slayer, and Parasyte. P.S pls send like an announcement or notice on what anime you'll watch first pls

you're definitely gonna like deadman wonderland, it fits your genre likes and it was also one of your favorite openings

Overlord has really good openings and is also a really good show. Have a listen to the full songs for that show. I am sure you will like them based on your reactions to the example in this video :) I also think you will like the show itself. It is kinda dark and epic.

Banana Fish anime opening(s) is my absolute favorite! It's so sick, definitely not a beginner anime as it's pretty dark but it's very good quality and story, I love the characters and the world.

I love that Deadman Wonderland opening, too. it's in my top 3 openings of all time. Good taste.

Loved that Proof in the background

There are so many good anime openings, it can be hard to pick even one, but certain artist always seem to have amazing songs for opening and closing for anime. I'm a big fan of Yousei Teikoku, so any song done by them is always amazing. LISA has great vocals and any song she does is going to be worth a listen. Garnidelia is pretty good to. Oh and since Band-Maid has done songs for anime that's a big win. As for just actually individual anime openings One Piece, Naruto, Ergo Proxy, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, classics like Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis. Overlord season 1 & 3, I wish I could remember, but there are a few anime that don't get a lot of attention that have amazing openings.

Anime recommendations : attack on Titan , death note , demon slayer

oki back again at 8:29 loved your reaction to Sono Shi No Sadame from JoJo, that's one of my all time favorite intros to any anime.

Animes that I think really fits your description (aside from the mainstream ones that were already suggested) would be: - Deadman Wonderland - Parasyte The Maxim - Mirai Nikki - The Promised Neverland I think these are soo underrated! I have more in mind but these are some that popped in my head first. Hope you get to read my comment! Happy watching 😁

I'm a thirty year plus old anime nerd, and seeing a Death Note opening takes me back to my late teenage years. I still listen both opening songs occasionally, because they're such headbangers. Besides Attack on Titan, Death Note is my top favorite recommendation to an intellectual anime newbie.

Love your reaction! You should check out the full versions of attack on titan op 1-7, black clover op 3,4,10,12 and 13 and mob psycho 100 op 1 and 2. Openings are a great way to discover new shows to watch. Fun fact op 12 of Black Clover is actually a song by TXT, it’s very pretty and the vocals are amazing

SO many series on here that never got a second season/ending breaks my heart: Death Parade, No Game No Life, Noragami, and Yuri on Ice. Tons more that aren't on this list but dang, it hurts to see a series never finished 😭

Definitely some of the best in this compilation! The first one you said you liked a lot was from the Fate Franchise’s “Fate Stay Night” called Brave Shine by Aimer, but AmaLee did a English version. She does a lot of the anime openings in English. I highly recommend the Fate Franchise anime. If you do want to watch it, THIS is the order you need to watch them in due to skipping ahead & going back in time, this is ESPECIALLY important when you get to the Fate Grand Order arcs: • Fate/Zero (2011) • Fate/Stay Night (2006) • Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2010) • Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel Presage Flower (2017) • Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel Lost Butterfly (2017) • Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel Spring Song (2017) • Fate/Grand Order Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot (2020) • Fate Apocrypha (2017) • Fate/Extra Last Encore (2018) • Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia (2019) • Fate/Grand Order: First Order (2016) • Fate/Grand Order: Moonlight/Lostroom (2017) • Fate/Grand Order: Final Singularity - The Grand Temple of Time: Solomon (2021)

REACTION TO ATTACK ON TITAN

I loved the idea keep going

Brave Shine really hits different. Definitely a Top 5 OP of all time.

When you said a dark anime I for some reason thought of Shiki first which is a psychological thriller/horror/mystery anime. Definitely scares you and has amazing yet chilling ost's.

I really love "My Dearest" by Supercell. Incredible composition, incredible voice, the ups and downs of the instrumentals. It's such a perfect song in my opinion. Of course, I can't forget the iconic "Unravel" by TK.

If you're interested in hearing anime opening and ending songs, I would recommend MindaRyn "Daylight," "Like Flames," or "Blue Rose knows." She started her youtube channel doing covers of other songs, and recently has been doing original songs for anime. P.S. Love your energy and excitement. Also, anything by Hayami Saori, her voice is amazing. She's a voice actress who does a lot of songs for the anime she voices characters for.

I think they left out many AMAZING older anime songs in this compilation ksksks I can't believe they didn't add anything from FMA (The first season), Saint Seiya, Inuyasha, Escaflowne, Rozen Maiden... sigh. Maybe I'm just on the older side ahahaha but I missed some of my absolute favourite openings in here! BTW, Luke. I HIGHLY recommend you listen to The Oral Cigarettes. Behind BTS, they're probably my favourite band ksksks

I would try and recommend parasyte the maxim for being gory, dark, not too funny, but also not too serious. It also has a cool plot and protagonist. It's also one of my personal favorites :)

I would suggest 'Demon Slayer', since it is well animated, with a really pretty/involved soundtrack, has a dark theme to it with some gore. It's one of the top currently airing animes right now so it should be easy to access to watch. You enjoyed the theme to it it seemed. I dont watch too much gore/horror anime 🤔 another anime that can be a little messed up is 'Made in Abyss' which looks cute but can be gore-y, it's also another with a great well made soundtrack. You also vibed with both openings from 'Noragami', that one is my favorite anime. Also. Whoever told you One Punch Man is a bad anime to start with.....why? I feel like it encapsulates the crackheadness of anime, while being funny, and having action at the same time. It's a good anime 👌

Yup really 😲😄 your traveling down a huge rabbit hole 😀. Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titans bloody but great 👍🏻

Man, that was quick.

Re:creators, an anime that falls under the radar of peeps but it is quite the hidden gem. Quick summary would be that the manga/anime characters meets the one who wrote their story. The genres involved all in all are Diverse to say the least, from magical girl to tragic heroines. The ost is also really good.

This was pretty cool for a change. I've seen some animes myself. Although I haven't seen the one you have, lol. There is some really good music in anime. Some of my favorite animes are, Naruto/Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, and Lain. I would suggest Death Note for you to check out first. You will probably like that one. 🌸💜

React to all Attack on Titan Openings.

In terms of anime that fall under the Dark/Gory/Horror Genre, I'd recommend -Another -Mirai Nikki -Deadman Wonderland -Elfen Lied -Parasyte:The Maxim -Re:Zero (Not really under the category but its quite messed up) And maybe Monster if you like something that is along the lines of a Dark, Twisted Psychological anime Hope you like the recommended ^ 😊

Berserk, and Fist of the north star sound right up this man's alley. From his criteria for anime recommendations of dark, gore-y, not depressing, and epic. xD

7:04 this is neverland's opening it's so damn good

I can't believe they left out so many amazing ones.especially my favorite Elfin Lied.and a ton of new animes have kickass intros that probably came out since this was made

honestly noragami, blue exorcist, black cat and erased are my fav of all time they have great openings you should check em out one day

you may have heard the Deadman Wonderland OP somewhere else actually as it's essentially a re-written version of a song called Black Hearts and Dollar Signs. So you may have heard the original version, but pretty much all the lyrics where re-written for the anime...

Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Amazing! It's on my top 3.

Of all of these that haven't been recommended by others already, check out the live version of Hunter X Hunter OP "Departure!" by Galneryus. The guy that sang the OP is the lead singer for Galneryus & they did a power metal version of that OP.

One of my favorites is Hey Kids by The Oral Cigarettes from Noragami. The anime itself has a great story too. highly recommend

The only instance that I know of where a song was made specifically for an anime, is the final Attack on Titan opening called "Rumbling" by SiM. Other than that its mostly just actual japanese music that the animation studios used as ops.

You need to check out the full song for Yuri on Ice Born to make History that clip didn't do it any justice 😅

Sometimes they even get the voice actors to sing the OPs. Because Japanese voice acting can now involve actually performing the songs in character live. That said I kinda want you to react to something like K-On! and Love Live songs. Probably not to your tastes but they are actually good songs and fun to listen to.

Usually they commision a band or an artist to create a song for an anime to be an ending or opening song, sometime though they tell select the main cast voice actors and tell them they will sing a song, for that purpose they also commission a composer to write a song and someone to write the lyrics. But unlike here in the west, anime songs are considered as normal songs of those bands or artists, and there where many many cases when an anime actually used a song from a band that was quite old, ReLIFE used a song by L'arc en Ciel that was from the 90's while the anime was from 2016, there was also a case like Deadman Wonderland which appeared in this 100 opening video, where the band FADE rerecorded a song they released 3 weeks earlier on a mini album with changed lyrics. The anime version in this case was called One Reason by FADE. and was released on a single on 27th April 2011 while their original version with their original lyrics was called BLACK HEARTS & DOLLER $IGN$ and was released on 4th April 2011. But in any case an artist or band is commissioned to record a song for an anime they usually have depending on the studio either a lot of creative freedom or a lot of it to make a song fitting what they usually create. Thats why heavy songs are rare but there are cases when they commission such bands as well, like in Death Note with MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, recently in Attack on Titan with SiM or with Fire Force with coldrain, but thats just a few examples, there is more. Also recently a popular youtuber who records song covers, who also does a lot anime song covers got commissioned to make an opening for an anime, im talking about PelleK and i recommend you check him out for some good covers or just to check what song he created for an anime.

One of the openings you really liked was "Brave Shine" which is an opening for the Fate franchise. Fate is my favorite anime.

14:20 so you need to watch another Attack on titan Mirai nicki Erased Re: zero

Oh man, Luke's opened himself up to a whole other world again after kpop, I'm here for this arc 🤝🏻

Angel Beats, an anime that will truly make you feel. It is among my top recommendations for those who haven't seen anime or not many.

Hy man love your work ❤️

Loved this video btw! And based on what you like you should watch Attack on Titan for sureee and also Parasyte! Both have great storylines and are gore heavy

My fav anime opening is avtually from fma ( full metal aclhemist brootherhood) I guess the opnening name is again. But I also LOVe the opening of Promised Neverland. Also these two anime are some of the BEST but I guess they are not really a good choice for starting to watch anime. They wont be good for your sanity and they probably will make you cry a lot. Usually people starts with death note. But there is also attack on titan / or with original name shineki no kyojin. About one punch man. Its one of my fav anime but not a good choice for the first one. Its an action and comedy anime btw

Higurashi has two seasons, and two absolutely epic openings. 50 episodes total, very manageable. Psychological horror, mystery, gore and so many plot twists you'll be guessing until the very end, but with enough levity smoothly mixed in that it's not too heavy. It gets quite intense at times and is definitely not for the faint of heart; there *will* be scenes you find disturbing. Like when [redacted] is forced to use a medieval torture device to rip off their own fingernails as a punishment for daring to fall in love with [redacted], or when [redacted]'s autopsy report comes back and says "Victim appears to have clawed at his own throat with his fingernails until he hit a major artery. Died of shock from massive blood loss." The scene that always comes to mind first, though, is the one where [redacted] takes a butcher knife, plants the handle firmly against the wall next to her, and then smashes her own head against the point of the blade until the damage destroys her motor cortex, choosing to take her own life rather than allow the now insane [redacted] to derive any sort of sick pleasure from torturing her to death. Not that there aren't moments of levity. It kinda comes in waves. Like one episode a character will lose a game of cards (kinda like Go Fish) and have to walk home from school in a swan ballerina outfit, then 3 episodes later the suspense is so thick you *couldn't* cut it with a knife. If you do choose to watch Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (season 1, English dub available) and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (season 2, only English subs available as far as I know), I will issue a single warning and an assurance: at the end of episode 4 of season 1, you'll be like "Well where the hell do you even go from there?", And at the beginning of episode 5 you'll be like "....wtf??" I promise you it *will* make sense by the end of season 1, or early into season 2, even though that seems completely impossible. *However,* there is another mystery that isn't answered until most of the way through season 2, and further revelations which don't come to light until damn near the last episode. Deadman Wonderland is also amazing, and is about half the length of Higurashi. It isn't quite as bloody or disturbing, but the characters do use their own blood (in various forms) as their weapons, and these abilities are called "Branches of Sin", so that's pretty badass. There's also that one scene where a dude gets his eye gouged out, so there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Txt has also done some anime openings. They did the 12th opening to Black Clover called "Everlasting Shine" and the 2nd opening to World Trigger called "Force"
