Tasokare Hotel OP

Without question.

(Tasokare by Kayoko Yoshizawa)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6AfOdkIFe8

Not only is it my favorite of the season by an enormous margin, but it's quite an incredible thing that we're only in the first of the year's four season and I already harbor a strong inkling that it will remain high up there in my rankings and estimation throughout the year even with many more series to come and a particularly packed spring season incoming.

Great OPs both heighten the dramatic and emotional intensity and range/variance of and within the series they're attached to and are musically enjoyable in their own right to listen to even aside from that consideration in some detached context. And ideally also have the music pair well with the visuals from the standpoint of timing. This qualifies in full.

There are a few other good ones from this season which I'd place high up there (especially after more thoroughly reading and rereading through your original post to see that this particular tournament also extends to include EDs of the season), but none really come close to me, except for one ED. But as was the case with past seasons of anime and past OPs and EDs, I've mainly only listened to and watched the ones of series I'm watching, so this will be an opportunity to be exposed to more I otherwise wouldn't for a while or ever.

I truthfully in recent days had forgot about this looming tournament so I'm certainly glad that you did not.

No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth

Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah

Thanks for the tag. I missed your competitions :p I won't be nominating anything because I don't know anything, but I'll definitely participate in the voting.

Have you abandoned the idea of "ED of all time", or do you still plan to do it at some point? :)

There are already a lot of great openings nominated 😀
At first I was playing with the idea to nominate the OP of The Laid Off Demon (donghua), but there isn't even a clean opening video that could be used for the voting. The best videos I could find are just the full episodes that start with the opening (like this one)

@nirererin If this isn't allowed, then:


@Zarutaku Ord OPs aren't allowed because they are almost identical to each other, except for some differing footage. Otherwise, everything remains the same as the first one, including the song 'Kaiju'.

I haven’t abandoned the idea of ‘ED of all time’. It’s still something I plan to work on in the future. While I haven’t decided on the exact time yet, I want to make it happen at some point.

No, the first one or OP1 is still not eligible for being a nomination, because Ord OP1 is Fall 2024 OP.
