I started watching Seirei no Moribito finally, having dropped it a while ago just coz I was put off by its phony OP. But at the 5th EP it seems like a good Anime. So I wonder if there are other Animes that are good but have a bad start pr just a bad OP. If you have watched any that u liked, do tell !

Shiki comes to mind. The first op sounds like a drunk middle aged man singing at a karaoke bar. And I can't even remember anything about the second opening so at the very least it's forgettable.

Berserk 1997 is my favorite anime of all time, but that opening is... certainly not. Why couldn't it have been Forces? The OST is spectacular, but the opening has baffled me since forever.

In my case, I listened to it so much that I ended up liking it jajaja

I just remembered! There was a paragraph where some words changed depending on the arc in which the show was at that given moment. That gave me some surprises that made me curious and ended up on me watching each OP jajaja. btw some of the OP where quite funny

The first season of Natsume Yuujinchou. The song is okay I guess, I don't particularly like it though and the visuals are really bad. In the first half of it absolutely nothing is happening and it's just really grey and aesthetically unpleasing and the second half of it is just scenes from the show, adding nothing.
I guess the ED kind of makes up for it though, being one of my favorites.

Music-wise I also don't like the fourth OP very much but the visuals are fine, I guess.

I also quite like Clannad (even though I highly prefer After Story), but I think the opening of the first season just sounds like crap.

Hunter x Hunter could use a different song in certain episodes
The second song from MHA (EDIT: third season) is pretty crappy although I don't consider this season to be any good most people seemed to like it
The second song from code geass was pretty bad

Digimon Adventure english dub...... this is cancer to my ears.

Zankyou no Terror. I just couldn't get used to it so I always skipped the op.

Kuragehime. I just don't like the song, but it's a really fun op with movie references. Still skipped it after some episodes in....

Double Decker. Not terrible but I felt like I heard the same song a 100 times. The ED is one of the best tho.

Shingeki no Bahamut Virign Soul op2. Again, not bad but compared to the previous OPs the series had, it really kinda sucks in my opinion. Or I'm just dissing it as a metal fan

It'd be easier to name good animes with good OPs, so far as I'm concerned. In fact, just animes with good OP. I skip 98% of them after I've watched it once so I guess it's just me though.

I didn't know of that one but seems interesting
Shinji, tho!! I've never hated a character as much as this one.. and after Heaven's feel 2, I can't bring myself to like any "good" characters voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi
I do understand that it just means how good the acting for Shinji was tho

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I don't like the OP to "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto". It doesn't fit in with his personality or style at all and I generally don't care for those fast, noisy rock songs that so many anime use.

Call me evil, but I never really like Chase, the 2nd OP from Diamond is Unbreakable, and it's entirely because of the singer. I can't stand his voice. Every other JoJo OP great, I just really don't like Chase.

Can I also say the OP to .hack//SIGN? Just because of HOW COME I MUST KNNNNOOOOOWWWWW???!!! I'm sorry Yuki Kajiura, I don't know why you must know. Please stop screaming at me.

This isn´t techinally a good show, I find it alright (Which I enjoyed somewhat because I am very edgy) but I hate the op of Tokyo Ghoul √A, I find it pretty boring and horrible, so I just skipped after some episodes. Is a shame since I really like the the op for the first season of Toyko Ghoul, but the op for √A is a no no for me.

I just lost some brain cells reading that you drop animes with bad OPs. To respond to OT, the 2nd and 4th Code Geass OPs were hardcore trash imo.

Ping Pong's OP is average and I hate the rocky vibe it has in 2nd half.

Haikyuu!! and Kuroko no Basket have basically the same OP with different music and images, but in a really similar fashion, thus only the 1st OP of both are good as I feel like the other ones don't bring anything new. Actually the last OP of both are good too, especially visually. They hype up really better than their predecessors.

You should just skip OPs if you don't like them, don't drop a show just like that my dude.

The ED kicking in at the end of every ep was so good watching that show, agree with the OP. All their songs are great that I've heard in anime (Black clover OP, Fruit Baskets ED)

An unpopular opinion but I just couldn't get into Mob 100's OP.

Attack on titan.

While many of the OST's are incredible, I could never really get into the OP/ED's for any of the seasons, therefore I went ahead to skip right into the next episodes action.

Scrolling through my anime list, i actually can't see any anime i consider to be good with bad openings. I guess Violet Evergarden's opening wasn't that great to me. Not terrible, i just never even watched it again when the show was finished, which isn't the case for a lot of openings. I'll usually add them to a playlist to listen to as well.

Dude if you don't like the OP the first or second time, just skip it for the rest of the episodes.

I can't think of an anime where something like an OP is enough to drop an entire show.

I wouldn't ever call it a bad OP but Madoka Magica OP is a huge downplay on the quality of the soundtrack found in the series.

Also Hinamatsuri had one of the most basic generic OPs ever yet its such a stand out show.

In my opinion, musically rather-not-okay or too-weird-to-enjoy openings would be those of Kill me Baby, Nichijou (though those are still catchy, which kinda irritates me), Tsugumomo (still fun, though), Hakushaku to Yousei, Owari no Seraph (first season), Yuushibu, Accel World opening 2, Centaur no Nayami, Azumanga Daiou, Chobits, Shomin Sample, I guess that would be it, others either enjoy/like/love, don't remember or left me indifferent...

Paranoia Agent has a very bad opening, but is one of the best animes I ever saw.

The opening in this anime is boring and just shows images with characters laughing. Although some people claim it is genius, I thought it was pretty tiresome.

Lol I agree. Lot of people hate that song. I love the guitar at the beginning but when that voice started , it's like wth happen!?
I think if someone with better voice sing it might sound little bit better. Maybe... I still don't like the song except the first start with the guitar
