BTOOM

“No Pain, No Game” by Nano

Vocals

Nice vocals this OP. The vocalist has a very good full body tone that is what you want from this kind of Alt-Rock.

8/10

Instrumentals

There is some Hardcore/Metal distort on the guitars and the DI feels like it kicks in to compensate for the average sounding drums. The riffs sound very solid but that lack of harmony at times makes it fall a little on the boring side.

7/10

Visualization

Nothing too exciting going on in the vis.

7/10

Overall

Solid Alt-J Rock song

7/10

 

Busou Shinki

“Install x Dream” by Kana Asumi, Chihara Minori, Kaori Mizuhashi and Megumi Nakajima

Vocals

Everything is sung in unison and it’s relaxing and easy to listen to.

6/10

Instrumentals

The DI really sounds like it was taken off a Christmas CD.

5/10

Visualization

Vis is average. The battle parts remind me of the IS: Infinite Stratos OP.

6/10

Overall

I will never know how they make plastic bewbs jiggle

6/10

 

Zetsuen no Tempest

“Spirit Inspiration” by Nothing’s Carved in Stone

Vocals

Really good English. It was probably the vocalists first language because there is literally no accent whatsoever.

7/10

Instrumental

I really like lead and rhythm guitar parts in this song. I also really like the lack of DI in the instrumentals

8/10

Visualization

The vis here is crisp and well done.

8/10

Overall

Very good OP for what I’m hoping will be the best show of the season.

8/10

“KINGS” by Angela

Vocals

The vocalist changes her voice in some parts of the OP. The voice changes are very small but still noticeable. But she makes up for it with her high interval jumps.

8/10

Instrumentals

Not too bad. They do a good job of supporting the vocals and never steal the spotlight

7/10

Visualization

The colors and contrast used in this OP really sets it apart from everything else.

10/10

Overall

This OP really looks very nice.

9/10

 

Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne

“SELF PRODUCER” by Minori Chihara

YouTube Preview Image

Vocals

Average. The harmonies are well done.

7/10

Instrumentals

The instr. is energetic and fun. When you aren’t watching the op that is.

7/10

Visualization

The use of bright colors help add that sense of silliness. That probably lasts for the first half second, then the sense of wtf? kicks in. There’s nothing sexually suggestive here at all!

7/10

Overall

Fanservice? What fanservice?

7/10
