| Personally, I think that no one would bat an eye if the "Casshern Sins" OP song had been a "Fullmetal Alchemist" OP song. Also, "Mekakucity Actors" has an OP song that I think shares a similar structure to the first OP song of "Jujutsu Kaisen" and the song honestly fits better over the visuals of JJK's opening than it does to its own.  |

| This is a Gintama opening and I can't be convinced otherwise. |

| Fukigen na Mononokean OP would serve well as Natsume Yuujinchou OP in my opinion. |
 |
| Unravel will fit literally anywhere. |
 |
| I mean someone literally edited the Jujutsu Kaisen OP to make it Naruto lol: |
| Poyo. |
| I think Devil Survivor 2 The Animation opening's song can be put over To Love-ru Darkness 2nd opening's video and it fits pretty well. Go ahead, try it. |
| The opening for Attack on Titan would fit any dystopian anime. Have you seen the 2021 End of the World Trailers that were made to that song? They were hilarious! |
| i didn't have anything off the top of my head, but for some reason my mind went to what anime could texhnolyze's ending substitute in while i was going through my playlists. never liked the opening of wolf's rain admittedly - which is why i would skip it every time and never skip the ending (gravity). both of the lyrics mention the moon (former having it in its title), which is a prominent motif in wolf's rain. while the lyrics of the original opening are a tad more generally relevant, i'm gonna further say that i'd rather have the bleak instrumental and lyrics of 月の詩 playing in the background to match the intro of a depressing anime than "STRAYAYY! strayaaa-y..." a personal opinion, not saying it doesn't already fit and isn't cut to match. texhnolyze wolf's rain i agree with the casshern op fitting for fma too. |
| I feel like most Nano songs would fit modern Dragon Ball. |

I've grown to appreciate "Chase" now, but when I first heard it I thought it sounded so generically shounen. It didn't match what I thought of as a Jojo opening, but if I heard this song in "Gintama" then I wouldn't have done a double take. It does match the series (at least from what I've heard so far and I haven't seen much in comparison to how many episodes there are). |

Not the same thing although there were a lot of fandoms making their own versions of JJK OP and EDs with their favorite series. The one I like the most was this "Lost in Paradise" one that a fan did with all the Jojos. |

The "Texhnolyze" ED song brings out the melancholy of the opening visuals in a way that the original OP song doesn't. There's still this cloudy feeling that both songs reflect from the opening, but they're definitely doing two different things. i agree with the casshern op fitting for fma too. Thank you. Glad to hear that someone is seeing what I'm seeing here. |

Graduation said: The Erased opening is literally a Naruto opening in disguise. I can get behind this statement. (It could also be that "Re:Re:" and "Silhouette" are on the same level of classic anime OP songs for me.) |

Someone needs to do this with the "Zombieland Saga" opening next. |

bucciest said: yep. i've actually never watched texhnolyze beyond the start, i heard the song before i knew that it belonged as the ending on its own as it is by gackt. for the single's album cover, he had it done in a similar style and color grading to texhnolyze which got me interested. i came to a coincident conclusion as you with checking out something after so long and tried a few minutes of it about two weeks ago. it got my eyebrow raising but i'm gonna try again. you should watch it, it's really good and man... if i've got any words to convince you that it is, i have a relatively horrible memory when it comes to remembering the media that i consume. with that in mind, i can vividly take myself back to the time when i was watching wolf's rain. it was that impactful. midnight to two a.m on the weekend, fifteen, mom's making homemade steamed buns in the kitchen. i'm in my room with one lamp lit, biting into the buns with salty tears because that anime was like a bottomless sewage hole of sad hole-raggedy pants people straggling through a shitty life. (not a spoiler, trust me.) yeah, you understand completely what i mean with both of the songs presenting two different vibes working with the visuals given in that opening. this is wolf's rain's ending which does match that melancholic essence if you were ever curious, doubly no spoilers in case those bother you:Cazqui-09 said: i didn't have anything off the top of my head, but for some reason my mind went to what anime could texhnolyze's ending substitute in while i was going through my playlists. never liked the opening of wolf's rain admittedly - which is why i would skip it every time and never skip the ending (gravity). both of the lyrics mention the moon (former having it in its title), which is a prominent motif in wolf's rain. while the lyrics of the original opening are a tad more generally relevant, i'm gonna further say that i'd rather have the bleak instrumental and lyrics of 月の詩 playing in the background to match the intro of a depressing anime than "STRAYAYY! strayaaa-y..." a personal opinion, not saying it doesn't already fit and isn't cut to match.

"Texhnolyze" is an unconventional anime and it's got slow pacing on top of that, so if that's not your thing then you might not enjoy the anime very much. I think it's worth the watch but it had a lot of parts that were flying over my head so I plan to revisit the series one day.

Ever since I've been into anime, I've heard its name floating around but I didn't check it out and it's different from what I thought it was (not that I was actively avoiding it - it was more neutral disinterest). Certainly moodier than I assumed but that's not a con in my book. I'm also digging this ED song more than the OP. |

bucciest said: nah, the majority of what i watch is actually unconventional when it comes to an episodic series as i rarely go for seasonals or more mainstream shows (special exceptions). especially within the last 5 or so years. slow pacing isn't something i automatically attribute as negative either, shared with fast pacing. all depends on the anime and if the current pacing is adequate according to it in my view. i've never really heard praise or complaints about texhnolyze before for better or worse, so i'll see how that goes. crossing my fingers that it's not a load of "???". i'm not sure what made me watch it (might have been the ED) since i'm not into anime with a big emphasis on anthropomorphic characters: it weirds me out. but it was the opposite effect with wolf's rain. tragic? yeah, well hope you enjoy it.

Not even as the OP for a second season or anything, but if there was going to be a "Beck" reboot, I could see there being an OP song like "Motor City." |

This "Hell Girl" OP song straight-up sounds like something by Boa, so when I heard it recently I didn't remember where it was from and was thinking "Serial Experiments Lain." |
|
| Thinking about this question again, since Vaundy's ED song for "Sakamoto Days" feels like a trip back in time. I don't have a specific series in mind, but the grungy sound of it makes it feel like it could've been a song for a 90s/2000s series with more "realistic" character designs. |
|
| Probably the first opening to Strawberry Marshmallow would go very well with Minami-ke, fitting since I believe it was from either the same Creator or studio. |

| Bait 'n switch OPs could easily work in this context, easy example being... and EDIT: These songs used on more thematically fitting anime, not on each other. |

| The Rumbling could fit Shingeki no Bahamut or Bastard!! Stand Alone Complex openings could fit NieR:Automata Ver1.1a. Boku no Hero, Fire Force and Jujutsu Kaisen could interchange openings with no problem. Angolmois could fit Vinland Saga I feel. I watched a Madoka amv with Uninstall from Bokurano, it could go so well with it, better than the original, me thinks. I think a more mellow opening like the ones from Blue Drop or Fantastic Children could fit Frieren better than its own, but maybe that's just me. Dorohedoro opening could fit Magical Destroyers. That's all I got as of now. |

| @CaptainKenshiro "Shingeki no Bahamut" was the first time I heard a song by SiM, so when I heard their song for AOT, I did think of "Shingeki no Bahamut" (plus that series/season both being created by MAPPA) despite "The Rumbling" being so specific to AOT. I took a quick listen to an "Angolmois" OP and it does fit "Vinland Saga" although admittedly one of the songs I wouldn't care much for (I only listen to "River" and "Drown). I love the OP for Madoka, but I can see why the "Bokurano" opening song would fit it. It might give away the more somber turn of the series too early, so it'd be better for it not to be a song in the first season. |

| @Retro8bit Took a quick listen to their OPs to refresh my memory and I agree. "Minami-ke" could have the "Strawberry Marshmallow" opening song swapped with its opening song and it'd be hard to tell there was any change. The songs also sound similar. |

| @RainyEvenings "Great Pretender" needs more dancing to fit "Flyers," but its opening song could also work for Lupin - or maybe that's too simplistic of me to say since it's all jazz (although I prefer Yoko Kanno and Yuuji Oono's music). "Tank!" would fit Lupin for sure. I've never looked into it, but wonder if Lupin influenced "Cowboy Bebop" somewhat. It had to have at least a little. |
