| Like I've heard of people who only listen to anime music and I don't get it. Most of the openings and closings for anime at least nowadays are really generic and bland. It's usually the most forgettable j-pop or metalcore tracks that these people obsess over and I don't get it. Seems like people only like these songs because they were used in their favorite anime. NB4 this thread is shit and pointless. |
 |
| i agree op, it's all about the insert songs... it all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down |
 |
| You talk like the music in those openings must be something "unique" and "fresh" when that's not even the point...generic and bland? You could say the same shit about the current western music, but people will love it anyway...Music is music, people will like it, people will hate it, it doesn't even matter...In other words... THIS THREAD IS SHIT AND POINTLESS |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| We just like to listen to the openings we don't obsess over them I mean did u listen to that 91 Days and Tales of Zestiria opening song?Shit is lit but I don't think people only listen to anime songs that would make them weebs. |

Also, while I think that just about everything LISA puts out is generic anime music, you have to admit that all of her music is extremely catchy. If you wanna link me to some of your favorites I'll try them. Also I didn't mean to suggest all were like that but a lot of them are to me especially the more popular ones. |

Ecchi_Hater_9000 said: This thread is definitely not pointless. I actually would like to understand why I obsess over anime OPs and EDs. These songs somehow become more memorable because they're part of something greater. Like, I normally wouldn't listen to the Berserk OP, but picturing Guts while playing that song... just put your grasses on, nothing will be wong. I much preferred the music that played within the anime to the opening and closing themes. |
|
| Complaining about music being generic is kind of silly. I mean... you have your genres of preference after all, not like you'd mind getting more of what you like. Anime OPs/EDs are often very catchy in their simplicity for example, that's enough for me |
  |
| Man i always lisen openings and endings that i like , i also like a lot of OST , like look what person don't like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Opening 1 like wtf when i first start to watch anime and heard the openings i was like wtf is this shit but after you start an episode and lisen to the opening like 10 times you start to like it , exemple: HxH (2011) opening when i first heard that opening , i was like this is the worst opening ever and after 20-30 ep i start liked it. The same go for OST. So yea... |
| Look at the opening and closing themes for this season alone. Definitely not Generic or Bland Myth&Roid Generic? Bland? Nope. Flow popped out some of the best shit since forever. TK nailed it also nowhere near generic or bland. Binaria killing it - also not generic batta making me watch that JoJo opening every time. This is only from this season alone, there's many more, I don't feel like searching or thinking of more, I only said the ones out of the top of my head. Guilty Crown is considered by a lot to be shit (from 2011) yet look at them openings. Pointless thread indeed. |

I listen to Anime music per se but not exclusively from OP/ED and especially not the generic stuff. I'd say I'm spread pretty far and thin from the Space Dandy OST, Katanagatari's second ED Refulgence, to recently Teddyloid's Pipo Password from Space Luluco ED and it's subsequent remixes. There's actually tons of good music produced for Anime if you look in the right places. |

| I only listen to an anime opening as if it's real music if I really, really like it. Needless to say, I haven't found one yet that has been up to my picky ass taste. |

There are plenty of others I like, such as both of Toradora's OP's, Clannad Afterstory, Higurashi's first OP, and both of Nagi no Asukara's OP's.[/quote] Maybe it's just me but while I found some of the musical elements interesting such as the intro to the Steins Gate theme I found them mostly bland and forgettable especially in terms of their choruses. It really seems like a lot of these shows recycle the same chorus :/ |

| @Waifu_Strangler i thought you hate generalizations? but you yourself is generalizing on this thread but personally i enjoy the beat or tempo of anime songs, im subscribed to a lot of anime english cover makers in youtube too the beat/tempo are better than western music or local musics we have here |

| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Yea most anime OPs and EDs tend to be the generic j-pop stuff, but there are a few anime OPs and EDs i enjoy. As to why people enjoy them, I think it's because anime OPs and EDs are different from most Western Music. I think it's more accurate to say that these people are more interested in J-pop than if it is actually an OP or ED of an anime, but I guess the song being a part of the anime also increases their enjoyment of the song. |
| It all comes down to preferences. Or maybe you just have a shit taste on music? xD But seriously, just the line up of OPs from Fairy Tail, alone(which has 22) is great. That's just an example among many others. So, I don't really know what you're talking about. |

| The truth is, I do only listen to j-music and OSTs. If it comes from anime or not I won't even know most of the times since I always go for my favorite artists full albums. In a nutshell, I don't care from where it comes from, I'll maybe rather not know. I believe that, for a significant ammount of listeners (teenagers), it's all about getting closer to their hobbie (weebo or not) even though they would probably be better off with western music in most part. Just like they find some sort of tradition in that and you knlw what I mean, wannabe etc. In my position, I love j-music because of its overall compositions and I think that, mainly, the fact that I don't know what the music is about due to language barriers, it gives me the freedom to make my own interpretation in which I find great satisfaction and more importantly, inspiration. Instrumental is all that matters to me, and I am really selective about that. |
 |
| Given the fact that I hate American music now and am not a j-pop/j-rock expert, I rely on anime for my music, hence why I make such a big deal over themes and closings. To me, any J-pop/J-rock songs are better than American. |

| People get sentimental attachment to the music because it's associated with a show they like. It's more than just a song. Who "only" listens to anime OP and ED songs? Do these people actually exist? |
 |
| I'm one of those people! I hate American music because it all sounds the same to me. With anime openings and endings I end up listening to them multiple times, because, well, they're attached to each anime episode I watch. And as I listen to them more, I begin to really like them. And I don't really know what this "everything's generic J-pop" is all about. There's plenty of variety in my opinion. |

|
| Yet again, why do you care OP? ....... |
 |
| Are they? i never really noticed the obsession that much. |
 |
| For me at least, the opening and ending themes in my favorite anime hit me with the nostalgia train...even when my memory's a little hazy years after watching something, I can hear the opening or ending and immediately be taken back, & that's always nice. Also, there are some simply great anime songs nowadays that definitely aren't bland or generic- look at all the JoJo openings and endings!! Psycho-Pass, Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan and most recently Mob Psycho 100, as well as 91 Days have wonderful music...although everyone's taste is different ofc. Openings/endings can also be really important from a story standpoint as there's often foreshadowing in them & they can signify a tonal shift in the story...I like to appreciate the little extra effort from some anime studios for that! |

Why shouldn't I care? Why should anybody care about anything? Maybe I don't really care I just felt like making a thread. Since everyone else is making shitty pointless threads it only makes sense that I'd do the same no? |
|
| I agree. There are only a couple of opening and ending songs that I like from each season (if at all), mostly the ones that are slow and mellow. I can't stand the annoying metalcore songs from shounen and action anime that more or less sound the same to me. I'd actually like to see more shows with openings like in Shinsekai Yori, which doesn't waste your time by having a separate one and a half minute long opening, trying to peddle the solo career of the voice actress and their CDs. Instead it quickly gets to the point by simply playing the theme in the background after the opening scene. |

Hell yeah. I'd sure spring for more Dvořák-tier Op music. |
