| I can only name typical ones like Hunter x Hunter, Vinland Saga, One Punch Man, Death Note and Parasyte. Yeah I'm generic like that. Are there any you think that mainstream folks like me should know? |

| Watamote has a hardcore Opening. Does that count lol? This might be heavy metal though and I feel like metal and "heavy" metal would be consider two different genres of music? |

I don't really like metalcore but that was refreshing to hear some in anime anyway. Detroit Metal City - the show is about metalheads with a metal OST Deadman Wonderland Berserk Prison School Claymore ? - OP is from Nightmare who made firsts OP and ED of Death Note Aggretsuko - the show also features a metalhead main character though it's more comedic |

Yeah the opening was animated by studio 4°C who usually have very cool visuals. Macross 7, its direct sequel Macross Dynamite 7 and the Macross 7 film all have hair metal soundtracks. Two other anime I forgot to mention are Bubblegum Crisis and Gundam 0083 (OP 2 is fire) |

Kaiji's OP is most definitely punk rock, not metal. As for the topic at hand, both seasons of Chaika have metal openings. https://animethemes.moe/video/HitsugiNoChaika-OP1.webm https://animethemes.moe/video/HitsugiNoChaikaS2-OP1.webm |

| Asobi Asobase's ending song got some nice moecore |
| OP 5 - Donten OP 17 - KNOW KNOW KNOW Movie 1 - Bakuchi Dancer Movie 4 - Douraku Shinjou All Gintama ^ OP 3 - Bleach (I guess) Idk anything else tbh, hope this helped |
| I don't really know the differences between the different types of metal. Is "chase" heavy metal? Ignore the music at the end. That's not part of the opening |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| Bruh, seeing the responses to this post, I don't even know what's considered metal anymore. I guess my contribution to this will be Mazinkaizer SKL, the most metal anime in existence. |
| the second opening to Death Note I would say was some pretty heavy shit, but I don’t really listen to much metal so it might not seem that crazy to someone that actually does |
 |
Is this heavy metal?? I'm not at all knowledgeable on this. |
 |
| I dunno the difference between rock and metal but Orenchi no Furo Jijou |

| Watamote OP, it’s pretty catchy. It’s been a while since ive heard it but i seem to remember death note OP 2 was as well. |
🌙  I wish you an ounce of luck |
| Idk if you would consider the Mirai Nikki OP heavy metal but if you do then that is one |
| idk the difference between rock aand metal but aggretsuko has sorta that type of op, love aso in the series the mc performs songs and one of them i rlly like op: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9jGaJJlNyo season 3 song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-zp6Mu9uzU |

| Why nobody is talking about Parasyte Opening. It was really great. |

_GinpachiSensei_ said: Why nobody is talking about Parasyte Opening. It was really great. Cause I presume OP is asking for ones that they don't already know, aka ones that they didn't mention themselves. |
| Death note opening 2 may be the most famous and the worst example. |

AcbSnakeDemon said: What are some anime with heavy metal openings/endings? Typically Japan has always been about at least a decade behind the music scene when it comes to global music trends other than their own music trends created domestically. Heavy Metal like OP and EDs in Modern Anime aren't usually really truly heavy metal music most of the time. They come close to being heavy metal like but it's more in the lines of late 80s and early 90s indie alternative rock mixed with electronica under tones. Basically the type of music you would catch airing on MTVs "120 minutes" hosted by Dave Kendall in the late 80s and early 90s. A perfect example of this would be Myth and Roid's "TIT FOR TAT" which would fall more in line with "Industrial music" which almost mimics the western group "Ministry" which broadly falls under 90s indie alternative rock more than being classified even close to Heavy Metal. Besides that Myth and Roid's sound broadly is way too "Poppy" for it to be actual metal. "TIT FOR TAT" comes closer to being pop music than Heavy metal too. To be clear this is not to say there aren't actual Metal OPs and EDs in Anime just most of the time it's rare and everything else is actually closer to just 90s alternative rock in modern Anime. If you think most OPs and EDs in modern Anime that feature Heavy Metal like music is actual Heavy metal then I got Primus for you.... Is it Metal? is it Jazz? is it Funk? is it Fusion? Who knows.... |

Also thought of including OP from Tate no Yuusha, but i'm not really sure whether that's metal.... |
