How come there are so many anime OPs out there but no one can rival "Asu e no Houkou"?

I watched 1700 anime but Muv Luv Alternative has the best OP in existence, why the hell didn't the staff use it for the anime? that would have increased the score with at least 2 points.

I may hate Muv-Luv, but it easily has one of the best visual novel soundtracks. It's beyond me why the anime doesn't use more of the game's songs. I asked a similar question back when the anime was airing.
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1964397
Perhaps they thought nobody would notice, since I rarely see the game's fans praising its soundtrack.

I am actually curious as to why do you hate it, I liked it until the ending, it was just bad but to be fair, it's just a waifu game imo with some incredible sci fi elements.
on a mal scale I would rate it 8/10

'We Were Lovers' became an ending and nobody told me
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Everybody is skipping on the OPs, thus nobody cares, thus no completion and rivalry.

Adding sci fi to a bad story doesn't make it good. Takeru is an annoying character, and the game's girls are all ugly except Sumika. This holds true for Extra, Unlimited, and Alternative. There are far better options for those who want "a waifu game imo with some incredible sci fi elements." I recommend Steins;Gate.

If that's the top 1 anime op than I might be sick. Well not gonna lie but that song is not in my taste which you've posted so it wouldn't hit even to my top 300-400 openings (Yes I do skip them usually, but I listen to them 1-3 times and hear them countless of times at AMQ).
From muv-luv specifically this one is uncomparable better than asu e no..



When it comes to any openings I don't see it (in my personal musical taste -> rock/heavy rock/metal/heavy metal majority) this opening even close to openings like these ones:

hmm, well, can't argue with people's preferences though I really loved the story of Alternative and the specific story arcs of Extra and I also have a soft spot for Ayamine. Funny thing, I tried SteinsGate but never managed to finish it, I got bored after Fayris game. But yeah, we all have our distinct stuff we like

I haven't actually tried the visual novel. I chose that example because it's popular and because I like the anime.
But I just realized YU-NO is another good example. I found the game to be much better than the anime when I played it. How can anyone be impressed by Muv-Luv when we have this?

whia, mio has such a big rack and ass in the remake, I saw the anime and wasn't impressed, it lacks the action of mla and that's a minus for me but I agree, it's a good VN

I genuinely envy you for being able to enjoy it.

It sounds like nothing more than random screaming to me. That opening is, in my opinion, the worst part of Death Note and one of my (if not the) least favorite op ever.

Clannad OP is nice and all but it's not a bop to rival the likes of Chobits. Cardcaptor Sakura comes close though and it's got some great looking animation to boot:

It's a conspiracy, they know they're not making a good VN adaptation, so the music has to be the bait. They all have good music, that's the proof.

It's pretty pronounced in the original YU-NO too (pc98). Felt so much more risque, have a look here, maybe it looks bigger because more is exposed?:

Higurashi doesn't have good music.

I also have a problem with only 1 character. That character is Yuuki.

Ah yuuki and his baseball cap design lol

I actually liked the higurashi op, just not the higu kai one. The newer ones I liked those too. Ma- Maybe because it isn't a bad VN adap, s...so it's okay if it has bad op in kai. The conspiracy theory still stands *heavy sweating*

I like your song, but I'm more used to more epic stuff when it comes to JAM Project, such as their Mazinger and Getter Robo openings, though I really like the instrumentals here. I just wish the song had more energy (unless it has something to do with the tone of the show).

How truly edgy of you, just be careful around corners.

What's wrong with watching anime without listening to its usually mediocre OP/ED?

Nothing, but you don't need to specifically come to a thread about OPs just to say you don't watch them either.

OP asked for why blab blab blah so I gave him my take.

I wasn't actually thinking about the openings or endings. I was thinking about the background music, and how the game barely has any. Combined with the blurry backgrounds and amateurish sprites, I'm left wondering why he even bothered to make a video game. Why not become a novelist instead? At least Umineko was a huge improvement. I'm not a fan of its music, but I can understand why others like it.

I still don't believe any banger soundtrack could save the disastrous content, even after taking your recommendation.

E.g: Bohemian Rhapsody and the similarly titled movie, or I Am Sam / Across The Universe with renditions of The Beatles.

Ah okay lol yeah lol that's pretty bad, especially considering the fact I hear it throws walls of text at you and drags in a lot of places. That and NVL are why I stuck to the anime. All i knew of the novel's OST is it has two tracks called "you" and "thank you" which are pretty good. Wonder if they patched any more music in the psp art one aside from these few lol
