When it comes to anime, they can offer some of the best openings/endings ever! Sometimes you get to know an anime from its OP or ED. As you finished watching the OP or the ED, you're thinking - "Wow! This opening/ending so damn good! I bet the anime itself is as good as this!"
When you decide to go and watch the anime itself however, it can end up either great or mediocre. And at many times it can turn out to be the latter.

In this thread, name some mediocre/bad anime with amazing OPs, EDs or the music in whole. I don't want any kind of conflicts in this thread BTW.

Here are my picks:
+ SAO
+ No Game No Life
+ Angel Beats
+ K Project
+ Shakugan no Shana (second and third seasons)
+ Akame ga Kill
+ Bleach

None of these, in my opinion, are bad. I rated most of these 7, but I know the majority of you may think these shows are not that great.

Ito Junji Collection had a really good op but it was complete garbage and fully relied on the following of its source material.

I don't judge a show from it's opening.

Bad shows with a good opening:

Bleach, definitely. It must be the series with the greatest OPs and EDs of all time (the OST is amazing too). I think its music is one of the main reasons why I can't utterly hate it.

C³ (C³ - CubexCursedxCurious). The reason I watched it was because of its catchy tunes of its OP and attention-catching quality. The first one was nice. The second op wasn't that bad either. Both has a nice tune in it but this one, imo, was slightly better.

No it's not. It has bad writing that relies too much on plot conveniences. Besides OP doesn't want any conflicts.

I just couldn't let this pass. Umineko has one of the best plot in all of manga and VN, it is just that the adaptation was beyond complete utter trash.

The ED is by-far my favorite of all time. Plot was mediocre but I'd wait and watch every week so I could get to the ending credits to just sit there, close my eyes and disappear :)

I agree, I love the op for Guilty Crown but the anime was horrible to watch.

I'd also say the opening for Kakegurui is really good even though I didn't enjoy the anime as much as I thought I would.

I'm going to have to chime in with "Mr.SADISTIC NIGHT" (the OP from Diabolik Lovers) and "Kindan no 666" (the OP from the former's sequel, Diabolik Lovers More,Blood). ^^;;
