Without further delay, here is part 2 of the OP reviews. Hope you enjoy!!!
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

Busou Shinki
“Install x Dream” by Kana Asumi, Chihara Minori, Kaori Mizuhashi and Megumi Nakajima
Everything is sung in unison and it’s relaxing and easy to listen to. 6/10 The DI really sounds like it was taken off a Christmas CD. 5/10 Vis is average. The battle parts remind me of the IS: Infinite Stratos OP. 6/10 I will never know how they make plastic bewbs jiggle 6/10Vocals

“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.

“SELF PRODUCER” by Minori Chihara
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?
