Op visuals are stunning but the music great but those are some really final edgy moments. Still a really good song to get yourself in the Vinland Saga mood though with the heavy singing so certainly good enough for me!

ED, on the other hand, is absolutely stunning - both in terms of visuals and music! Aimer is freakin’ amazing and we get a handful of that in this ED! It’s going to be a blast listening to this for a cour (and hopefully more, actually) at the very least!

Very odd opening song for such a series(first few seconds and visuals are decent), ending theme is pretty great though.

Awful song choice for the OP, but that ED is real good. Really wish they had done something different for the OP that goes with the setting, something with some traditional folk elements worked into a rock/metal song would've made a lot more sense than this really generic choice that feels like it could be slotted into just about any other action heavy anime.

I don't mind the OP. It might give the wrong impression of the story considering where it eventually ends up, but it's not bad. That ending though! The ED is pretty great.

OP is surely a incredible song from one of my favorite bands, but ED is just a meh song from a meh singer.

Don't know why so many people are shitting on the OP. The only bad part imo is the screaming at the very end.

OP until 1:10 = Very good music!
OP after 1:10 = Why did you have to go so far? omg

Yeah, cut out the screaming and it's a 10/10 OP. I was honestly worried that it would have been worse, but I'm glad that it only takes up 20 seconds of the song. I'd prefer if it wasn't there at all, but oh well I guess.

OP is so out of the place, still I like it.
But I was hoping for something like that of 'Vikings', since it would suit the setting of the story.

ED looks gorgeous. Visuals and the vocal are amazing.

What makes anime, in general, so distinct is how can they blend their style with other cultures or themes that are unrelated to Japan. That is why I love anime and find this opening amazing. It gives such a unique feeling that I can't really describe. I easily prefer this style of song to a Viking-ish or Scandinavian style song for Vinland Saga. In short, Opening is awesome.

Can't agree more. Afterall OP does portray the scenes of war with those screams.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Am I the only one that thinks the opening fits the savagery? I even like the screaming, which is rare for me. Really expresses Thorfinn's raw emotion/anger at the end.

Ending is nice. Last 5 seconds tho.

The op isnt a bad song, I recognize the production effort, but doesnt fit and end of the story. Would have been better something more folkloric, anthem-esque or simply orchestral.

The ED is slightly less fitting. But whatever, it´s not like their decisions are affecting the anime content wich is in 3 episodes a super great adaptation despite a couple of wierd cgi moments.

The OP song is too edgy.
I was expecting something like rock maybe with vikings folklore sounds.
Heck even Denmark's song that competed in Eurovision 2018 feels like a
better match for an OP imo.

ED is...eh, okay I guess.

Tbh, I don't really think the OP song fits very well. Sounds really good, but I think a Folk/Viking Metal song would fit much more. For example:





The ED, on the other hand, is really beautiful. I really like it

I really like both the OP and ED. I can honestly say the emotions that both were trying to convey were presented so nicely it was to the point that I was watching the trailer, hadn't even watched the show yet, the ED song came on and I was tearing up. That's the point of an OP, ED, and OST. It's to enhance the experience and touch you on an emotional level so you understand and relate to the story. That's what so great about manga adaptions into anime. The story comes to life with the help of direction, animation, and music. In my opinion, I think these were great choices.

They've got a story set in Iceland during the time of the Vikings, and yet they use the same old edgy nu-metal shit you hear in every fucking anime. Either base the songs on the traditional folk music from the region, or use something more universal and timeless like regular western classical. The songs aren't bad by themselves, but they just don't go with the show. They sound way too contemporary and trendy for a show like this.

Look at it from a marketing/business standpoint. Japan, popular bands, fan bases. You really shouldn't be surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'd like the same thing, but these things happen man.

I love the OP -- usually not a fan of screamo, but it just works so well with the vid. The pan to the night sky coupled with the accompanying keyboard (?) and our protags scream seems to echo the music, the emptiness of the sky & the carnage on the ground. My favourite scene.

Yeah, at the end of the day, anime is a business and not just art. And those singles CDs aren't going to sell themselves. Gotta appeal to the tastes of the target demographics.

Ending is all right, though nothing too special IMO. I usually like Aimer but I didn't think this song was that great.

Found what probably is the full oppening. Not a looped version or a fan edit, but it is a from a radio broadcast.

Since this is very metalcore and includes screamo, a lot of people will be turned off.
