| That OP is so synthy, love it. The soundtrack sounds pretty good, too. |
| Opening theme reminds me of early Depeche Mode. |
 |
| I'm really happy Yuta Bandoh is going back to compose the soundtrack. He absolutely killed it last season! |
 |
| Doesn't sound as good as the last season's themes but maybe this could grow on me with time |
| Aurora doing an anime opening???? Have I accidentally entered another dimension??? Song sounds awesome, as usual for Aurora |
| How many seasons might it take them to close the manga completely, considering its imminent end? |
