| I believe that OPs/EDs kind of help establish a certain mood before/after watching an anime episode by two factors, the music/song and it's visuals. The visuals can help liking an OP/ED, but i usually care more about the music/song, what I mean is I think the music/song of the OP/ED will usually have a higher impact on me than it's visuals. Usually. When i decided to start watching Haikyuu's 3rd season, I was blown away by the visuals of it's OP. Even though the song was pretty good too, I believe the stronger point of the OP was it's visuals. Any of you guys found the visuals of an OP/ED to bring it's "impact' more than it's song/music? https://youtu.be/oRAF2-Exzx4 Another good example i found was the last ED of the second season of 3-Gatsu no Lion, it's visuals are strong imo but tbh I like the song too. https://youtu.be/6pddnFTBeyY |

| Kiznaiver and Terror in Resonance are ones where the songs aren't the best, but the visuals are pretty good |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It's almost a meme between people who have seen it, but yeah, opening of Metal Armor Dragonar. It looks significantly better than any part of the actual show. ↑←↑ |
 |
| There is no better feast for your eyes in anime than these 90 seconds |
  |
| Definitely Houseki no Kuni's opening and ending, both are absolutely amazing. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas "Woof" -Tobiichi Origami "Are you trying to turn the dormitory into a strip club!?! -Atena Saotome |
| Fate/Zero has breathtaking visuals when it comes to its OP and ED songs. Never skip on it! |
| Parasyte the maxim opening and ending was fire |
| Psycho Pass second OP is good song wise but its animation seethes A E S T H E T I C |
What a beautiful Duwang |

|
| All of the Attack on Titan openings, maybe except the last one, since it literally spoils everything has great openings when it comes to imagery. For the ED's I didn't really care too much about except the ones for season 3, those were amazing in my opinion. So basically, everything that Linked Horizon has done for Attack on Titan is good. |

Bout the only thing I'll positively say about that series lol. |

| Sayonara Bystander from 3-gatsu no Lion. Yeah, the song's good, but the visuals......they're on another level. Starting at the halfway point out is fantastic. I'm also inclined to say Kaguya-Sama's OP, although that's a bit less fair because it's a banger song, but honestly I love the James Bond visuals too much there. Oh, and the Chika ED is of course much better for the visuals than the song, at least in my opinion Any of the Osomatsu-San OPs. They aren't bad songs, but they're much better for the surreal barrage they present you with Konosuba's second OP. Again, song is good, even great, but I personally love the mini-story that plays out and how hilarious it can be in its own right. Rakugo Season 2 by a mile. The song's not really my sort (although very atmospheric) but the visuals are just fantastic. Definitely the reason I watched the OP every time. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| I always listened And watched Shiki's op 1 Kuchizuke was so Good song,I never could skip it When it appeared in anime And I really like Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai's ending,it was seem so relaxing And song was good. |
| Railgun S both 1st and 2nd OP/ED Especially the 1st OP "Sister's Noise" the music really match the visuals *slow clap* |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| I've been watching anime so long I can't remember every one. But a few shows come to mind: Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Kiznaiver Inukami Ghost in the Shell Naruto Naruto Shippuuden Bleach Fullmetal Panic! Oh My Goddess! some of these openings are honestly breathtaking. Especially anything Fullmetal Alchemist |
| Elfen Lied and Sora no Woto for the same reason - The tribute to Gustav Klimt's paintings in the artwork. Very unique and striking to incorporate this. From the same creative mind. It also helps that both songs are beautiful. |

|
| Bloody Stream from JoJo Part 2. Especially with the SFX |
| Never skipped the OP in Ergo Proxy and I love that Haikyuu OP too. But I'd say it's a combination of music and visuals that are matched together perfectly, not just the visuals. |

Tbh the song isn't bad it just doesn't suit my taste. Also after having heard the full song, I prefer the transitions done in the full music video compared to the OP version, whats your opinion on that matter? |
|
| Jojo's openings are so good and then there's the changes when the big bad screw with the opening. |
 |
| 3-gatsu no Lion S2 OP2, and all Diamond wa Kudakenai's OPs |
| Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou ED because it's drawn by tkmiz |
| None, I never watch an OP/ED because of animation, the only thing that get me is an actual good song... but that is not something that common. I'm not that huge of a fan of the songs in anime. |
 |
| Kaguya Sama: Love is War, every single Jojo OP and Death Parade. |
 |
| Mob Psycho OP's visuals are way too good to be skipped. |
 |
| just from the top of my head, Both of the Mob Psycho Openings plus the Ending of S1. |
 |
| Definitely jojo, and david production is so good that even add new version where main antagonist of each part interrupt the opening to show its ability and the other one being mob psycho 100 and kaguya sama. |

| Quite a few of openings and endings have great visuals, but I still rather not spend ~1.5 minutes everytime in re-watching it. Listening is a different story since I can still multitask. In regards to highest success rate, Carnival Phantasm Opening probably does it since it's a great stress reliever from the jump even though it's not as visually impressive as some other ones I had in mind |
 |
| All Fate Series by ufotable Hyouka OP Kyoukai no Kanata OP/ED YLIA OP 1/2 No Game No Life OP Nisekoi OP 1/2 Barakamon ED |

It's basically illegal if you skip the openings! OP1: JEAGER!!! OP2: GLORIA!!!! OP3: SASAGEYO!! SASAGEYO!! SHINZOU- OP4: LIKE A FALLEN ANGELLLL!! OP5: SPOILERS! |

| ED of shield hero is sweet for me. It's the only one I can remember since I'm watching it right now. |

petran79 said: Neo Ranga, especially the second opening. I think the atmosphere it creates surpasses any other mecha really nice, the beginning totally caught me the music fits really well to its atmosphere |
|
| Definitely one of my alltime favorites opening visualls. Having a great song is just a nice bonus. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| Occultic; Nine's Opening has one of the best imagery from the ones I've seen. It doesn't rely on sakuga to draw the viewers in but rather the amount of mysteries left on that opening. It's honestly pretty sad that the anime paled in comparison. |
Chickenwarlord said: If you skip looking at the visuals for the Gakuen Handsome ED, you are not watching the show as intended. Just finished the 3 first episodes and my brain expanded everytime time the ED played, dunno how I had no prior knowledge about this master piece hahaha!! |
