Akame ga kill, the Future Diary, and rezero all have super good second openings imo. And bleach’s third opening is awesome.
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

It's not true. Nichijou's second opening is undoubtedly better than the first, for example.

Furthermore this does not apply to long anime that containing tons of openings.

AoT op 2 is pretty good
Psycho-Pass op 2 is really good
Death Note op 2 is a fucking banger
Boku no hero academia S2 op 2 is good

Your pattern fails from just your examples imo

The human brain is made to produce logical links even when there are none. Did you know random doesn't feel random for a human being? We'll always see patterns where there are none.
Case in point: that pattern you're mentioning doesn't exist ^^'.

The matter is highly subjective, first of all. You'll find many animes where you won't like the second op, but you'll also find plenty others with awesome ones.


Also, I love the second opening of AoT. That pseudo-german hymn in the beginning is thrilling as hell!

Have you ever watched any long running series like Naruto,Bleach,Hitman reborn or Fairy tail?

Because those series have dozens of openings/endings and every single one of them are great

The only two examples I can remember when the first opening is million times better than the second are Initial D and Toradora. Otherwise such a pattern doesn't exist.

First one that comes to mind is the second Garo OP since that is one of my alltime favorites. Granted, the first Garo OP might be even better but that's just because both are fucking amazing :>.
I probably regret this post by now.

Yea that's the point lel. 2nd OP can't always suck if it's pretty much the same as the first huehuehuehu (i.e., DiTF and BB)

Yeah, i noticed this too, usually the first opening and ending are much, much better eg: Bungou Stray Dogs, Shoukoku no Altair, Shokugeki no Souma, Tegamibachi etc.

Though not always, in some rare cases, such as long running anime, there's multiple good openings and endings such as in Fullmetal Alchemist(2003), D.Gray-man(2006) and Tsubasa Chronicle.

...What? "Jiyuu no Tsubasa," "What's Up, People?!," and "Out of Control" are fucking awesome songs, dude. Clean your ears out.

Don't forget Gurren Lagann.
Also Shinzou wo Sasegeyo is better than the first seasons' OP's. In fact, I could make a list that can go on all day.

Then again, I do agree with you in a couple of anime. In fact, I can agree with you with most anime.
Also, I really want to say this because it's kind of an underrated opinion, but

Although that doesn't mean the next OP's suck. I still love the 2nd OPs of Your Lie in April and ReZero. It's just that the 1st OP's are better (personally speaking).

Opening 2 of attack on titan season 1 is better than the overrated first opening
psycho pass opening 1 was so mediocre, the 2nd opening is my favorite anime song of all time

death note second opening was shit, i agree there

My hero academia season 2 opening 2 was better than all the other ones.

I have noticed a pattern too, you have bad taste in anime opening brother

That's not quite true. But I still remember when I watched code geass, and felt the first op colors by flow was so damn good, and then second op came I was like "what is this trash".

Honestly, I can think of numerous examples that refute this as a general statement. For instance:



But plenty of examples where it's tures as well. It's all up to your musical taste I guess.

AOT OP2>OP1, Psycho Pass OP2>OP1 and MHA S2 OP 1 = MHA OP1.

The only one I would agree with would be Death Note. Also now the topic has come out Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA has a better second opening than the first, JoJo also has a better second opening, Konosuba does as well. Also Naruto had a better second OP as well. I would also argue Bakuman's first OP is the weakest as well. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu also has a better 2nd OP. So yeah I can think a lot of exceptions to your rule though this is a subjective discussion our tastes in visual imagery and music might not line up or how much weight we put into that making it a good OP.

Honestly, I'd agree with that second OPs/EDs tend to be more often less enjoyable.. Not always, but first OPs/EDs are more often listened on anime radios, for example, than the second ones..

Nah. You just get too used to the 1st OPs that you don't really bother listening to the 2nd OP.

The most iconic song in the Slayers series for example is the OP for the 2nd season.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I never liked Attack on Titan's first OP. At all... It reminded me too much of the weird power metal bands I used to listen to as a kid. When I got Sasageyo in the 2nd season, though.. now that's an OP I can get behind xD

I'll match yours with an even more unpopular opinion. Same list, only the 4th OP is in my #2 spot. So my order from best to worst is 3rd, 4th, 2nd, 1st haha
