Idol

The animation and the song are just masterpieces. Most definitely one of the best songs ever created by yoasobi. The lyrics are spot on which really describes the dark side of society which almost all famous people go through. It really shows an entire story on its own. People say "The rap part is bad" or what not but the rap part is required for it to really hit hard.

The animation is simple but the simplicity really makes it stand out because it shows everything it needs to and most of the story telling is done through the music. If you dont like it, ... go watch the anime or read the manga, then go read the english translation of the song while listening to it. Its great.

It was mid, But also as with everything its subjective.

I went into this expecting a good anime op, and for the the visuals is really did a great job meeting that. Though i don't really think it differ much from other yoasobi tracks it doesn't really matter. In the end the animations, visuals and pacing is good.

The same could not be said for the song itself though. The writing, in my opinion is fine. The lyric has multiple reference to the anime story, mentioning the character names, calling out how they act according to anime n stuff. Overall this fits pretty well with the visuals.
However ... the reason i don't really like this track as the anime's opening is the melody. The chorus is fine, typical j-pop imo. But i don't really like rap-trap ish of the intro and verses, It just feels out of place for this anime and even for the song itself. It gives me conflicting feeling and not in a good way like yoasobi's other tracks.

To recap, lyric is fine, visual is fine, Hated the trap-rap of the verses. Still did put it in my playlist but I'm not gonna put it on repeat like Tsuyu or yorushika though.

I have watched the MV "Idol" and I must say, the animation is incredibly generic and uninspired. The movements of the characters lack creativity and the overall visuals do not stand out at all. I have seen better animation from underground authors with no real budget.

As for the music, I won't comment much on it as it sounds incredibly generic and lacks any real originality. The overall production is a complete goyslop, and I cannot say that I am impressed by it at all. It's unfortunate to see such a lack of creativity and originality in the anime industry these days.

Regarding YAOISOBI, I must say ... that their music is not to my personal taste. In fact, I find their music to be quite brain-damaging and lacking in artistic merit. However, I understand that taste in music is subjective, and what may not appeal to me may be loved by others. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide whether or not they enjoy YAOISOBI's music.
