| So those are the lyrics to the Op then ED is beautiful |
| New OP doesn't fit with Akatsuki no Yona, unlike the masterpiece that is the ED :P It would be good if this was for some other anime since I thought it was pretty catchy. I just really wasn't expecting such an electronic song for the new OP so it was quite the surprise to say the least. I kind of wish they just kept the old instrumental OP but oh well, what's done is done. |
| The OP is so fucking bad. Bring back the old one, it was perfect. I used to never skip the OP but from now on I'll have to. Now the ED is great, I love it. It's as good as the old one. |
 |
| The new ED is gold,I missed hearing Akiko Shikata so much. Also it fits the theme better than the OP,but I like the new OP as well. First OP > Second OP |

| AKAYONA ED IS LOVE AKAYONA ED IS LIFE we need more songs with erhu, that beautiful sound <3 the OP is really out of place, I was sort of imagine Yona and Co. dancing to the OP......./awkward/ idk man, techno song for historical anime.... |
 |
| I like the new op, but does not fit the sequences or maybe I'm not used to it yet The new ending is as good as the first op |
| While I quite like the new OP song, love it actually, it really does not fit with the show in my opinion. On the other hand I LOVE the new ED more than the last! Akiko Shikata's work is most definitely among my all time favorites. |
| I say "I'm speechless" to tell you I want to say something though am not sure how... |
| The OP literally made me vomit but the ED was good (or at least better than the old one) |

| OP 1 instrumental was wayyy better I thought I was watching a shitty amv when I first heard the new OP The new ED is alright but I like the first one more |
| The OP is bad. I'm sorry, but it doesn't fit to the Anime at all. It's too modern and ruins the atmosphere of AnY. The old one was great, they should've used the old OP again. The ED is good, but I also prefer the older one. |
 |
| I really like the OP song, but it definitely doesn't fit the series. The ED does however and I really enjoy it. |
 |
| New OP made me want to play Dance Dance Revolution. lol I like it, but it doesn't fit the theme of the series. New ending was alright. |
| I rather like the new ED, but definitely prefer Kunihiko's instrumental OP. I do like the symbolic progression in the song titles: Yona to Flower, Night to Dawn. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I personally love the new opening a ton, but I can admit that it simply isn't very suiting for this series. I do have an affinity for songs where the bass is quite prominent (dat bass slapping!). I enjoy the new ending as well and this one fits quite well with the nature of this series. |
 |
| the ED animation looks so simple but beautiful and also fit the ED song but i dont have the same opinion with the OP. (though i am looking forward for the full ver XD) I mean, if they gonna use such an upbeat song for this OP of this series, they should change the OP Animation that fit the song with more action scene. The first 15 seconds was great but i feel the rest is so-so |
| I love the opening song, but going from the lovely instrumental to this is a little weird. I would have been fine if they kept that song, simply changing the animation for the story instead, and I don't even like instrumentals 99% of the time.... And the fact that they re-used animation and have Yona fiercely shooting an arrow at least 4 times in the opening shows their lack of creativity. The new ending is cool. |
 |
| I can't seem to find any faults with this OP. I like it much more than the previous one and I think it's appropriate. Moreover, the lyrics are really suitable for the series. All I see here is people complaining for stupid reasons. |

| the new op doesnt fit the series at all.... but its so good lmao kinda like death parades op |
QuattroVaginas said: Their reason: "New OP doesn't fit the show" Your reason: "New OP fits the show" All I see here is bigotry. No, it's not. It's called difference in opinions. I think it's not fair to dismiss the new OP just because of the music. How about if Akatsuki no Hana was he first OP, and the previous one never existed? I bet there wouldn't be many people bitching about it then. By the way, if you want to know what unsuitable OP for a series means , go watch Sengoku Basara Judge End. |
| Opening is good but not sure it fits the show. The ending is beautiful. I like them both. |

I bet there wouldn't be many people bitching about it then. By the way, if you want to know what unsuitable OP for a series means , go watch Sengoku Basara Judge End. Eh, I beg to differ. The first OP was beyond my expectations since I had expected something like a slight traditional fusion song, similar to Saiunkoku Monogatari's. Instead I got a full instrumental OP which was even better. It went along with the OP's animation very well. I would never in a million years expect an electronic sounding song for a historical fantasy anime. It just doesn't fit imo. I can't imagine this going with Soredemo Sekai, Donten ni Warau, Seirei no Moribito, etc. And honestly, I feel like this type of song wouldn't fit many anime in general because it just doesn't sound like your usual anime music...just saying. Most people don't even hate the song, in fact I like, many of us just don't think it fits. Which is also why people like the new ED, because the style is more fitting of the setting. Shikata Akiko took care to compose a song that would go well with the anime. But anyways as you already know, opinions are opinions. And yeah, just watched Sengoku Basara Judge End's OP and the song wasn't even good...but hey, at least it went along with the visual unlike Akatsuki no Hana, which isn't the song's fault but Studio Pierrot for barely adding anything new to the OP but just slapping a new song onto the "new" OP. |
| Same opinion as most people: I don't think the new OP's bad but it just doesn't fit the series. The ED certain does though, although I personally liked the 1st one more and think it also did a decent job at fitting in, perhaps not as good as this one though. |
| I don't dislike the new OP. It will grow into me since I know it fits very well with the progression of the story as Yona develops from a princess oblivious to the world around her into a girl changing herself to change her destiny. The ED is absolutely brilliant. I think one of the, if not the best ED in this anime quarter. Edit: Oops! Totally forgot about the ED of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. Wins the ED of the season by a long shot. |

| I like the OP, both the visuals and the song, but I agree it doesn't really fit the show |
| Electronic music for a historical anime? Unexpected. I still liked the OP though. :/ In fact, I orefer the new one over the first. ED is gold. Period. |
 |
| i remember it clearly almost every week waiting akatsuki no yona's new episode to see new OP/ED. Which it disappoint me...new OP was meh. It was decent..but not fit as OP for historical typical anime, but...new ED was fabulous!! just as ppl says xD Opinion: OP 1 > OP 2 ED 1 < ED 2 |
 |
| Okay the new op was an uncomfortably sudden change and unfitting . . . I knew there was a new ED coming, but i didn't expect to hear Akiko Shikata's voice. Definitely a pleasant surprise. |

| The new OP song isnt bad, just unfitting. As far as the video goes, Ill wait til it doesnt contain the same scenes as the 1st. |
 |
| The new OP is terrible, oh my God. New ED is beatiful, on the other hand. |
| Ed > Op Though the ending's lyrics spoiled some things. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| The ending is pure gold, but the op really doesn't fit this anime. I can't stop imagine them dancing like a group of idols o_o |
| I listened to them out of curiosity (I'm behind on the anime) and they're not normal J-pop songs like most anime OPs, but it actually fits well with this series. So +1 |
| It's shit compared to the first one. The anime should have just kept the first OP and rolled with it |
 |
LastChapter said: I actually like the new OP, but felt the style wasn't fitting for the series. ED was pretty praiseworthy though. Yeah, totally agree with you. I din't like the op. And that is what I call rip off. LOL this is the first time i have seen so similar OP. Half of it is almost copy and paste. |
 |
| I'm in love with the new ending. Enough said. |

| The new OP is awful. The first one was beautiful and sweeping - it really fit the tone of the series. This is just more generic J-pop. |
| I"m so in the minority, but don't care. I was surprised already us getting a new OP, but I love it and I think it totally fits in perfectly. |
 |
| Akiko Shikata is love. Akiko Shikata is life. |
 |
| Well I'm surprised most hate the new OP, I quite like it and I think it works. It pumps me up for the show. Though I wish this anime has more action than shoujo. Then it would fit even more. ED is BEAUTIFUL, I am a huge fan of Akiko. A little jealous that she's gaining more popularity now but I love this song. The beat reminds me of those in old Chinese movies. |
