I find no problem or cringe in it . But that's my opinion . Most of the time the english lyrics work for me . Like in noragame aragoto : "just wanna hold your hands ! " I don't cringe for hearing that

I too find it cringy, but I wouldn't say that all anime OPs do it. It's frequent, but there's a lot of OPs that don't have it. For example most Bleach OPs don't have it. Though there's one that is full English...

Not every OP has english lyrics...Some can be cringey, but some can actually be pretty good, like the Openings sung by nano (BTOOOM, Arpeggio of Blue Steel) and the songs in Nana...

What a retarded question, why are you saying that "every anime opening" does it, and you've only warched 4 series, seriously wtf

I've actually heard more openings entirely in Japanese than Japanese+English

You have Higurashi on your CW list, it has opening without English lyrics


Please chill, just because i haven't watched alot of animes dosen't mean i cannot look at openings. < I have seen alot.

Meh, I don't mind them using English but the grammar is often really off, I just wish they'd actually care enough to look up what they're saying.

Maybe because the USA is so influential? Especially to Japan? Learn some history and maybe some Jap culture and you'll understand. And just deal with it. There's so much more cringey-ness in other arts of anime.

LOL you haven't even seen shit for anime!
