| You haven't gone doen the rabbit hole far enough to find those shows. Example: Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne. |

| Holy shit mate, can you be more of a stereotypical tryhard metalhead than this? I will disregard the whole what is and isn't metal talk, as that doesn't really matter and you're technically right (although you bring it up for no real reason). Why would you expect shows airing on televion, that aim to appeal to a wide group, use music that only some would enjoy? You will find a bit of heavier music in some shows (like Needless) when it truly fits the nature of the show but nothing even close to music like Morbid Angel or Demolition Hammer, because why the fuck? Only some like it, to others it's repelling, it wouldn't fit great majority of shows at all, there's no point. And it's not just metal either, you won't find any classical music, or heavy techno, or anything heavily straying from mainstream, because there's no reason to have them there. Anime openings are there to be catchy and enjoyable and bring positive feelings towards the anime, not for a few smelly 16s to headbang to for 80 sec and have the rest annoyed and wanting to skip. Metal is great, deathcore is great, everything's cool but you should be aware most people simply don't enjoy these. |

More damaging then good, what do you guess it means? Very obviously only few people like metal, while most absolutely hate it, thus more damaging then good. You really don't know that much about Japan if you say that people don't like metal there. It's not mainstream, of course (just like in every other country), but Japan has a lot of metal bands and a huge metal scene. Also metal is popular in Japan, that isn't the same as mainstream (That it's what j-pop and j-rock are). I know there are fans in japan, but overall Metal still is not anywhere near the popularity of the idol stuff. And I also wrote actual reasons for why that is as it is. You guys are obnoxious. |

| A decent amount of animus have metal ops. Sure most of it is visual kei or screamo but that's still kinda metal. Also every third action anime has it's OP done by Jam Project n they're pretty much power metal. OPs in this style of metal are rare but they still exist. Only when an animu with a trve kvlt black metal OP shows up will animu be saved. |

| because real metal isn't a thing nothing makes one metal song more real than another, and it's not a sub-genre, so it doesn't exist what doesn't exist can't be used as an anime opening simple as that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_genres |
  |
| I hope that never happens. Metal just doesn't go well with animated waifus. |

sunny_fizzle said: For example most anime openings are either jpop variations or some watered down metalcore or emo. Where's the true metal ops? The only true metal opening I've heard was detroit metal city and that was groove metal. Don't tell me watamote's op is real metal or death note's op is real metal. I'm talking about an opening that uses sounds similar to bands like Morbid Angel, Deeds of Flesh, Slayer, Demolition Hammer, Gorgasm, Immortal, or power metal I'll take as well. I think brutal stuff like Slam, Goregrind and War metal should appear more often in Action and Horror related anime for example. I find the lack of metal (especially extreme metal) in anime quite disappointing. I´m with you on this topic. |

XD not my type of metal anyways, i think the most brutal metal genre that i listen to is normal death metal. |

Strawberry_Bur said: Well, Morbid Angel and Demolition Hammer reached the peak of their fame decades ago. Really you're asking why a certain niche of old school power, thrash and death metal isn't used, but I think that's self-evident: because they're old school and reached peak relevance many years ago. The truth is, anime like Death Note and Watamote do use "true metal" openings, but they're just more modern styles that appeal to a current audience. You don't really think groove metal is more real than Watamote's metalcore do you? Oh well, Awaken the Guardian is the only real metal album, anyway. Nu-metal and metalcore aren't subgenres of metal. Nu-metal is a type of hard rock that borrows elements from metal (and rap and funk), and metalcore is a form of hardcore punk that likewise utilizes metal elements--both styles are using metal influences to create music that isn't metal. It's like saying a waffle is the same as a birthday cake because both are made from similar ingredients. Also, as per my earlier post: Zelkiiro said: What anime needs is a little bit of Mary's Blood injected into their OPs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLM2unV0kwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08GNcXDuSMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAmkGoP82BM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trqlw_YA_B8 Mary's Blood has only been really active since 2012. They're a perfect power/speed metal band for an anime OP, and yet they go unused. |

I don't know if Watamote's OP counts but the line between hardcore and metal can be quite thin. |

I think this could work really well with an anime OP. I imagine men going to war on horseback in the freezing winter waging war on other villages. Or what about this? I think this piece would work extremely well for an anime about a homicidal maniac or a death game. The lyrics say it themselves "Thou Shall Kill!" Or some funeral doom for an anime that deals with isolation or loneliness. You seriously think none of these metal pieces could be used for an anime OP. |

Strawberry_Bur said: @Zelkiiro Waffles and cakes do have something in common with other pastries. Just because metalcore and nu-metal don't adhere to metal's lineage as much as, say, power metal, doesn't mean they aren't metal. And maybe some metalcore bands do point towards hardcore more than they do metal, but the genre overall is still a metal one. Watamote's OP is definitely metal. You can't honestly say it sounds more like hardcore punk than metal, can you? Your genre descriptions aren't necessarily wrong though. It's not that complicated--if they're not one of the 100,000+ bands listed on the Metal Archives, they're not metal. End of story. |

SuzuMine-chan said: Aren't Parasyte's Opening and Hunter x Hunter 2011's 1st Ending metal? I classify both songs (Just Awake and Parasyte OP) as electronic hardcore-something screamo. FALILV (the artist for both songs) is IMHO a fun band to listen to. The only turn-off is the almost incomprehensible Engrish vocals. For REAL METAL (what people consider metal) I'd suggest you listen to these bands: Heavy : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc. Thrash : Metallica (early albums, but Hardwired is pretty ok), Megadeth, Slayer), etc. I'd also recommend Pantera if you like Metallica. Death : Cannibal Corpse, Death, etc. Black : Burzum, etc. If you wonder why people listen to Death Metal and such, I'd suggest studying some music theory just to find out what's happening BTS. +Metal is a fun way to relieve stress without becoming aggressive. Personally a lot of people started by listening to rock>hard rock>metal. FALILV is by no means a metal band, although I enjoy their music. |

| personally having been to Japan I would say "metal" isn't used much in Japan likely because the vast majority of their target audience doesn't care for it. Someone mentioned MAL music poll.... First of all the vast majority of MAL users aren't from Japan so realistically speaking the studios producing Anime don't even care what you think as your not their target audience(though we probably should be). The OP is asking for anime to cater to his or her taste when the industry doesn't see those tastes as marketable. The Anime industry targets a certain demographic in Japan(and only Japan) of which they are pretty good at knowing what will go over well and what wont. Regardless of anyone on MAL's taste. Metal isn't used much because it probably doesn't sell well with the Anime industries target audience. |
| Metal is sometimes used as a gag, though--having recently finished K-On!!, I noticed they were trying to make their teacher's student-days band Death Devil all hardcore and shit, but accidentally made them into a Cyntia-style poppy power/speed metal band. Like, you take that instrumental gag from the first minute of the K-On! movie and tell me that's not totally aping something like X-Japan or Galneryus. |

Troll12345678966 said: Ousama game does it, nobody likes ousama game. Wheter there is any correlation or not im not going to say. Thats just the facts There isn't any correlation in the opening theme of Ousama Game and Ousama Game being bad af. Also a lot of people like the opening theme, saying: "The opening is the only good thing about Ousama Game". Basically the same band made the opening for Rainbow and it's a very loved anime. Also the second opening of Death Note ,who's also extreme metal, it's the most popular anime of all time and one of the highest ranked anime on MAL. |

| "true metal" OMEGALUL @sunny_fizzle Firstly please mention us some japan true metal band available. If its not from true metal band, so its not true metal song. Secondly please mention the example of anime that could use true metal song and what song it is? Lastly, can we use true metal song in every anime, because true metal is the best genre of all music? It would be great if it used on clannad after story. . Im not joking, im serious BTW if someone make some low effort bait, people will make a fun of them. Of course you are not baiting and have a quality thought, this is a 200 IQ discussion. |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
