| You better enjoy them while they last because the ruiners of anime (aka Netflix) is going to cut them short if not phased out. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-09-11/anime-music-producer-predicts-the-end-of-the-90-second-anime-song/.136571 One reason why you don't want anime to go the binge route. You mis out on good OP/ED themes. |
 |
| I cant wait when subs will be not available anymore too. |
 |
| F%*k Netflix.. They are destroying the anime industry.. |
 |
| well im sure a lot of anime fans do not mind seeing when they binge watch they usually say they skip the OP and ED parts anyway my only problem is that when the OP and ED are gone then that means English Covers of them on YouTube will be gone too |
| thanks a lot netflix you ruined everything once again |

| So basically they want to more closely emulate something like Gurren Lagann where the theme is regularly used in key scenes in the series instead of having them at the beginning and end of every episode. They didn't say they're going to completely remove the songs they just aren't standalone aspects of the series and instead will be used to set the mood or applied to individual scenes. Even outside of that though there isn't really anything that says the TV broadcasts will have to change because they are the norm but if it does follow the TV broadcast that just means you'll get 2 and a half minutes of extra content with some potentially sweet insert songs. |
| I always skip the opening anyway tbh |
| Do people actually watch the OP/ED every time? I watch the OP/ED of the first episode but I'm not going to waste my time watching 4 minutes of the same OP/ED for every episode. |
| Netflix can't control the entire industry and I skip most ops and all eds anyways so I don't care. |
justcaolan said: 1000% facts. Netflix doing me a favorI always skip the opening anyway tbh |
| The idiots from Netflix don't understand how important are the OPs and EDs.. I have friends who started to watch anime because of OPs. I also started some anime only because of the OP (Tokyo Ghoul) . And because of some OPs i discovered amazing anime and spent a lot of money.. The music is important to promote the anime and support the industry.. I always watch the OP and ED.. Some of them are extremely good so you can't skip |
|
| How can people say they skip the OP and the ED? I get the ED but the OP is supposed to set the mood and I always watch it. |

| I watch an OP or ED once and skip that shit every time except the ones I like. |
  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo So many anime, So little time! |
| Just another speculation based on one example that will probably never come true... If it does though, I'm gonna be mega pissed |
| Good move by Netflix dont need that shit |
| poop |

Falling in love with the songs more and more each episode and associating our memories of the show with them is one of the many beauties of watching anime.Do people actually watch the OP/ED every time? I watch the OP/ED of the first episode but I'm not going to waste my time watching 4 minutes of the same OP/ED for every episode. People who skip a second of an anime episode aren't getting the full experience imo (this is coming from an unhealthily hardcore completionist though so take it with a grain of salt). |
| Tell me again who cares about garbage services like Netflix. All anime "sponsored" by them is targeted to complete normalfags, even KyoAni completely fucked up with VEG. Btw. It's not possible that anime producers would ever get rid of OP/EDs. OP/EDs are essential. It is giving a huge profit. Many great singers got popular by performing opening or ending songs. Not mentioning about OP/ED performed by voice acting cast, mini-concerts etc. It's just ridiculous to even think about it. And obligatory, Fuck Netflix. Same with people that uses the dubs. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| OPs and EDs do a very good job setting you in the mood of an anime/arc. Also, shows like Gintama demonstrate that you can't skip any of their openings, because they will likely prepare you a joke at the end of it (see Gintama' ep 23 OP), or either fit with the current arc (as HxH EDs do very well). OPs and EDs are many anime's trademarks. What would be Tokyo Ghoul without its first opening? Or Shingeki no Kyojin? One Piece? Also, we wouldn't have famous memes without JoJo's first ED (this one even helped the original song to become more famous worldwide) or Kekkai Sensen's one. It would be bad to quit them all. |
| I don't care. I skip that shit because it has spoilers and I don't like j-rock/pop. So go on Netflix, you make everything better. |

Well, I can take it as compliment considering the fact that words like "weeb" are just a buzzwords used by completely close minded part of internet society lately. And how would you call me if I say that I'm watching Murican movies with Murican voices, French movies with French voices and literary all kind of foreign media with its original voice cast? Egotistical what? Nope dude. Dubs are always the worst way to consume any foreign media. LilZachhh said: Dubbed anime can definitely provide the full expierence. Yup. Maybe in alternative universe. |

| Meh. There have only been a handful of unforgettable OPs so I wouldn't see this as a big loss. Personally, I think themes are more effective when used in the closing minutes of episodes (NANA) rather than the opens anyway. 90 more seconds of music integration is fine with me. |
| Ok? I ignor OP/ED I think it's waste of time. And out of the 1.2k animes i have seen only Ergo Proxy and Kokkoku have a OP that is worth watching. I just think it's waste I woud rather see 3 min more of content that woud be lovley. Beacuse the anime eps is to short. |

| If I like the show then I'll check out the OP/ED. I do give it a try at least once so if I watch netflix I don't mind if they want to cut that short ED out but usually there's something at the end like illustrations or short continuation after ED. |
| That's retarded and doesn't even make sense. I've watched anime on Netflix before, and though it does sometimes automatically skip the opening and ending, I'm pretty sure there is an option that lets you watch the entirety of the opening sequence. Binge watching and Netflix have nothing to do with this, and to cease making 90 second anime openings seems like an overreaction. |
 What's the difference? |
| Stupid change. But I only watch the OP/ED about two times unless it's really good. |

LilZachhh said: They can, but most of the time they don't.Man you must be a egotistical weeb because Dubbed anime can definitely provide the full expierence. A lot of stuff like jokes, puns, speech-patterns and sheer dramatical impact can be lost through any kind of localization, including dubs AND subs. Even most subs you find on any non-download sources are actually really dumbed-down, simplified localizations that really minimize the impact and meaning of a lot of things that are said. I'm personally at a point where I don't know enough Japanese to watch without subs but know more than enough to notice mistakes/shortcuts and it really frustrates me to see how much they dumb down anime dialogue in translations (fansubs generally do come pretty close, though). Then you can only imagine how bad it usually is for dubs, where they have to not only localize it strongly to make it sound natural but also match mouth-flaps and sometimes completely change meanings in the process (especially with comedy). |
ShadowMonkeySep 13, 2018 2:26 PM
| Boo, I hope not :\ I love OPs and EDs both, just the concept of them and how anime dedicates so much time to them. I like this aspect of it, it's just something really "anime" to me that I can appreciate about it in a distinct and odd kind of way most of the time. I also don't skip them, ever, but that's part of a greater OCD about playing videos until the very end. Extends to anything that I watch or books that I read, etc. But I actually like doing as much and I would kind of miss them if they were to go, honestly. |

| Hmm that's a shame. Openings are good marketing tools, so I dunno why they'd get rid of them entirely. Doesn't seem right, but the binge culture Is a thing I suppose? Can't relate though as I watch anime at a slow pace, so I watch the op's to get in the mood, or so to speak. |
| I don't own a TV. I don't have a Netflix account. I watch the OP and ED of shows I really like. I even whistle along with them. The shows that I don't really like the OP/ED just gives me enough time to grab a snack or so. |

| There aren't any lil peep anime openings, therefore they're trash. |
 |
| I only watch the opening one the first episode unless I like the song and I never watch the ending so... I don't care lmao. |

Hatred said: this is all a prediction though so yeah At this point, yeah. I highly doubt the traditional model for Japanese TV will die out easily. This'll just be Netflix anime, maybe some ONAs, and whichever company decides to follow Netflix. |

It both provides spacing to the presentation of the show, and sets the tone for it.
