It's so jarring. How is this allowed? They destroy everyone's work on this show by choosing such an unsuitable song for the ending. It's so cheap, so incompetent.

This. The entire episode was really climatic and kept in a very fitting style, ed was beyond jarring.

In general the ending as a song isn't that bad but honestly who was on what substance when they picked THAT for THIS. It was a great first episode with an amazing atmosphere that owes quite a bit to the bgm but then there this shit.

And then there's tonikawa op.
"You are the result of 4 billion years of evolution. Act like it."
"Why don't you eat make up? Then you can be beautiful on the inside too."
"'Sick'? Call me 'twisted'. 'Sick' makes it sound like there's a cure."
"What's messed up isn't my thinking, what's messed up is this god damn world."
"The world isn't perfect, but its out there doing the best it can for us. That's what makes it so damn beautiful."

Yeah but imo its pretty unfitting, and when the beat drops it just zooms in and out on the title how lame is that?

Yeah I agree with you. Yes it's a unfitting theme song just like Tonikawa Op but this is worse than it. I think the opening too but the opening still more suitable than the ending.

Yeah, it is pretty jarring considering the tone of the show. And a crappy song to boot.

I don't really like the song from Tonikawa but it's not unfitting, and the visuals are greatly directed to both combine with the song and make something quite different.

Now, about Moriarty: I don't think the ED is any good to the show but really, the only consequence it has is that I will skip it from now on. I mean, I really like to take the moment of the ending to reflect about the episode, and I even appreciate some over the top ending such as ID;Invaded's one, but if the ending is unhearable in any of those ways then I see no problem in just ignoring it.

What in the world is up with the random complaints of the Tonikawa op ? The song is awesome, and while I agree that the zooming in on the title is kind of lame, everything else about the op is great.

As for the ed of Moriarty, I think the song itself is fine but yeah I'd agree that it definitely doesn't fit with the anime. Still a bit of an overreaction though.

You people who are hating on the ed are so stupid. You just want something to hate since there is no reason to hate this anime you guys are just hating on the ed SMH.

ED gave me a laugh, I'm not kidding. I saw this topic before watching EP 1 and I thought "oh MAL is crying about small things again, like usual". I didn't expect it to be this bad lol. I'm not saying the song is bad, I don't want to offend fans out there, but it doesn't fit the mood created in EP 1.

Yeah that song was such a mismatch with this anime. I thought the Higurashi OP that's airing now and that anime was a mismatch (despite the song being great) but this is 1000000x a bigger mismatch. Such a weird choice.

The ED is in no way "unfitting". You/audience don't get to decide what's unfitting in terms of the arts direction. Unfitting infers it doesn't fit/sync/cannot absolutely go together b/c otherwise it is "wrong". While in reality it is an aesthetic choice and decision and what is true about the arts, music and everything of that nature? It is preference based and entirely subjective.

It isn't "unfitting", you just don't like it is all.

Imo, I dig it. It has a contrast vibe to it, similar to when a serious show like Death Parade has it's wacky and awesome OP.

It isn't "unfitting", you just don't like it is all.

If we don't get to have the opinion that its unfitting, then why do you get to have the opinion that it fits? Thats really all it is; an opinion. If the only ones capable of critique are the people in charge, then a restaurant could serve you terrible food and you would just have to accept it as their way of doing things.

The way I see it the first episode did a pretty good job evoking a specific point in time, and contrasting it with something completely outside that sphere of time is a risk. I don't think this show pulled it off and it feels really distracting. Not saying it can't work, but that it's something that comes at the cost of ripping someone from the experience if done poorly.

Whether someone likes a piece of music on its own I don't think is relvant to what it adds in context to something else. Theres plenty of music I like because it adds to a scene, but wouldn't listen to normally or vice versa. Not to detract from your personal opinion, but the way you voiced it was quite arrogant.

I like that, that's a good point. Now that that you got me thinking in that way, "Unfitting" is also an opinion based context, I agree. I guess what I didn't like about all the other previous comments was that they all denounced it as "it doesn't work, THAT'S fact". While in reality since it is an "artistic" topic anything that is really said about it is, all in all, opinion.

I still however do think it worked, that being imo, due to the overall nature of the song insert and the way it was executed. Again, it is similar to Death Parade and its OP.

Lmao, that's the thing with the internet and comments, it can be taken any which way since there is no tone to be heard.

I guess I interpreted the tone as more harsh than it was supposed to be, that's my bad. Usually when someone dismisses the thoughts of a wide audience, that's the impression that I get.

EDM could very well have worked much better if the rest of the story was set up to accomodate it tonally, maybe by having a story that was less serious or used sci-fi elements. I don't really know.

Title of this topic is overreaction enough though? Just chill. There have been anime where the genre of it is serious and dramatic and then you have openings like to Death Parade which is quite catchy compared with the serious tone of the anime or the second OP of Fruits Basket remake S1, people thought it was too cheerful to the overall drama tone in FB.

Now then again, I haven't watched this anime yet and I probs will do so tonight, but if I hear the ending, I won't voice out my complain because...why waste so much energy when you got other things to be concerned about?

Edit: I am listening on the ED right now and it's...not that bad? People have their tastes, yes, but OP, your naming of the title is pretty much of what I call "overreaction".

I just went back to listen to the ed and oh boy. It wasn't a bad song, but the mood. It kinda destroyed the atmosphere from before. It broke the tension and started playing some above-average music that would work for something other than Moriarty.

[Edit] Listening to the song again, but with the lyrics, it's honestly very fitting.

Initially I thought it was really jarring too

But now after their back story covered & you look at those ED visuals with all that juxtaposition of bright, fun, colourful paint all slathered over them (when in actuality it is most likely alluding to blood/the harm & terror they have done) the ED almost seems fitting in contrast







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

I have started to watch the series and unlike some here, I have grown used with the ending, seeing the child versions of Louis, William and Arthur makes me smile and at the end, we get sexy shots of the adult versions ~

If people skip the ending as a whole and not willing to see the preview, it's on them, one solution is to mute the sound and watch the colorful palettes of the ending instead.

Not gonna lie. It doesn't fit the anime at all. But goddamn it's a good song in it's own, it is hilarious.

This might be the first "guilty pleasure of ED's" I ever listened. So my ground stands, I love the song but it should be in another anime.
