Well, about the ars goetia and other references: they aren't so important to the plot, but they make for the 'scape of reality' theme in umineko and create the reasonement used to solve for Beatrice's past - As long as you have the consequences, you can understand the causes. And the plot twist... It isn't a twist at all, it just ends where everything starts.
Whimsical Chan I think it's better to read the visual novels or the manga. The Anime cuts out alot and also doesn't even end :( The Anime only adopted the first 4 novels, leaving the last 4 out. Lovely animated, but it is very confusing if you don't know the story already.

Dude mappa and ufotable doesn't need to animate everything. What Unimeko needs is a studio that can adapt a long visual novel like it the best I recommend toei animation because they're currently animating a visual novel right now (one piece). They're adapting it so well they're adding filler because the one piece visual novel can't keep up
@@A1Plus4 one piece isn't a visual novel Besides instead of animating the visual novel I prefer them animating the manga all 8 parts of the Manga meaning 8 seasons
The hard thing to adapt Umineko is that it's a slow burn one, within 10+ hours in of reading the VN do the murders begin to happen, even it takes multiple chapters in the manga. If every details are to adapted, then we need at least an arc per a 24-episode season. Though maybe they can follow Oshi no Ko and make a 1-hour long first episode to introduce the cast and system, then pull the twist and cliffhanger at the end.
Bernkastel had omni power concept, Lambdadelta, and Featherine too have the same concept with Master. So, that the reason why in this verse more powerful than Dbverses
It skims over, changes, and cuts out the details that make the mystery solvable. Chalk it up to the fact that the game series wasn't finished at the time of release, and the animators didn't exactly take notes from the author on which details were important.

Fandom in a nutshell: 90% This anime was terrible. 8% It's not terrible because it never existed , Umineko DON'T have an anime. 2% This anime wasn't that bad, actually, It's quite nice.
Funny... That's my view on Fate/Stay Night as a whole. I haven't watched Umineko, so I'll probably read it instead. Only problem there is that I'll want to also read all of Higurashi first, to see how different it is from the anime, and then read Umineko
Umineko and Higurashi have no coralation with each other, they are made by the same author though. The Umineko manga is really pretty and I recommend it
I never watched the anime but i found this opening and then forgot about the name. I searched for it for seven years and finally i found it ❤. This song is a masterpiece
@@donnamitsuki281 The fact that it's not a remake makes it even more likely for Umineko to have a remake, funnily enough, but maybe Kikonia will have an anime first?
@@kitsunami7251ciconia is very farther away from a finished story, adapting umineko episode per episode as seasons would be golden like the witch herself
@@Emily8468 Yeah, not sure what OP is all about. Naraku no Hana reflects a state of emergency, it tells you we're getting close to the climax of this story but it won't be easy for the end to be a happy one. It asks the characters to stay strong and keep trying no matter what.
With Higurashi, there's a clear progression: Anxiety -> Desperation -> Determination.... -> Diabetes. This one's blatant power, and the emphasis of the audience's (and the family's) powerlessness.
@@shymyn Honestly, I think Umineko is actually quite big in theory. I feel like quite a lot of people did read it, but as time goes on people just start moving on to other series and only few stick around. Tho I would agree that Gou and Ciconia re-vitalized the fandom.
@@Assassin559971 the thing I notice is that most people within the higurashi fanbase are more like r07 fans opposed to fans of JUST higurashi, which makes umineko feel bigger because it’s usually the most talked about r07 story amongst those fans - even if their favorite is (usually ‘rashi) something different.
It had potential... But it was too fast, too lacking on story and details... I mean: Even in higurashi one is able to draw similar conclusions as Rika did, but here? Battlers thesises seem off and the end was horrific. Why was Maria close with Beatrice and why did Beatrice had a hard time to decide to kill her (except as EVA-Beateice)? What's her matter with Battler at all? And who are those people, dammit?
A wonderful and gripping VN for Visual Novel lovers, and an amazing Manga for mystery and thriller readers. Definitely recommend reading- even if the anime itself was cut short.
Watched the anime which I enjoyed 😁 So now currently reading the manga, to find out what happens next and what was missed out 😁 Beatrice is everything 🙌🏻
@ArmyAntAdam I randomly came across exec harmonius on some anime radio app and quickly searched it up and found Akiko Shikata and got hooked to her songs. Her songs are just great.
Somone plz do a remake for umineko. Animation doesnt even need to be crazy. Its a psychological series. It needs at least 30 anime episodes per VN episode. Then it will be a good adaptation.
+Karou The only soundtrack that really hurts my ears everytime I listen to it is "Die Hasen" from the Black Butler soundtrack. It´s like they didn´t even try to get it right. But in the end I still like it.
So I've watched this video for years enjoying the song and never understanding the pictures other than," oh I see Rika....I guess she's Bernkastel now?" Or "The Golden Witch must be a misunderstood bad guy?" Now that I've stopped procrastinating and watched the visual novel, I must say to anyone reading my comment PLEASE GO READ THE VISUAL NOVEL. Umineko is probably the best story I've ever read and it is a roller coaster of scares and emotions. Plus, I finally understand each picture now 😅
I usually hate anime intros, but this one is so beautiful and emotional. It also helps me remind most people in the world are empathic and feel deep. It's just the few rotten ones that make us feel bad
I am in physical pain every day of my life without new, canon material from this fictional universe and have been since 2009. Gou made the suffering end for a short period of time, but I need MOAR! Ryukishi damn it!
Just finished reading the VN from 1-8 dang what a great mystery vn same as higurashi also the bgm when Rosa dual wielding the sawed off shotgun was a fucking badass and the bgm when Erika final moment on chapter 6 also good, what a good VN and worth to read

I always thought the same and when I finally started it took only 3 weeks to complete the question arcs Its my favorite fictional thing and vn is waay better than the anime that while I played I felt like anime was just a spoiler Good thing im still half way through answer arcs now i dont want it to end
I honestly felt the same as you, but believe me, you'll enjoy the roller coaster ride of mysteries, magic, and of course, the horror. The time spent reading is worth the wait.;)
It's the middle of the night, I randomly found this vid and was suddenly overwhelmed with a need to rant about Umineko because of course, there is fucking nothing else I should be doing right now. Some indirect spoilers ahead, I guess. Anyway, I binged the manga somewhat recently; the VN was beginning to feel repetitive, so I followed the rec I found on this very section some time ago and, well... it's been so long since I was so much conflicted over something. First of all, because of changing artists, the manga's design is very uneven. With some I fell in love on the first sight, some grew on me throughout until I loved them too, some just were here. Funny how I remember the sharp style from the fifth chapter the most even though from artistical standpoint I liked the ch. 3 design more. It was an experience in itself: if you ever liked something that you later come to know to be unilaterally recognized as a thing of a great value, you'll understand. Back on the track. I sincerely feel that the first three chapters were the peak of Umineko as it was first presented to us. Looking back, I believe that the big wtf moment in the end of the third arc (you all know, it's _that_ moment) was the absolute best in all series. Consequent chapters had had similar moments of glory, however, the further I went, the less I understood the general frame in which I should perceive the plot. Sound rationale that was driving the plot now was faltering while failing to give something of equal value. In the end I gave up and just accepted the new plot logic that came from seemingly nowhere, hoping later it would make at least some sense. Guess what, it fucking did. It was too late though. On the sixth arc I decided it was time to speed up the plot and just read the summary. After experiencing a certain profound feeling I read the final chapter of the last arc and asked myself: _why?_ Just... just why? Why must it end like this? Why have you left me, fantasy? Why everything that had happened should result in something like this? I've got my perfectly rational explanation but how dearly I wish I didn't. In the end, I got at least some good things from this adventure. First, I came to love Sayaka Ohara and Daisuke Ono. They've given a top-tier performance that was unbelievable to listen to. I also got to hear a serious Yukari Tamura which is rare and amazing. Second, I've seen many scenes that are hard to describe just with words, but when I think about how Rosa defended her daughter while wielding the gun or the final scene of the fourth arc, I know these are moments to remember. And finally, I've seen the metaphorical giant pyrrhic victory of Battler as he was in the beginning and maybe learnt something from it. Its tremendous price makes me question its worth, but maybe it's the reason in itself. I don't know what, but I'm sure it's something important. You've made it to the end! Thank you for reading this wall of text: it seems this was boiling inside of me all this time. If this was interesting enough, that'd make me glad.
personally (went vn all the way) I liked chiru much more than the first 4 chapters. The expansion of the meta world made it much more exciting and the whole thematic of "love", while hinted in ch4, finally had its long awaited explaination in the last two chapters. Ange, who pretty much had the most annoying (for me) scenes suddenly became a great character in the last chapter and basically while it had some lows (ch4 end), the whole vn was a wonderful experience.
Guess we're looking at it from different angles. *spoilers* I guess the thing that disapponted me the most was the ending and the whole point of proving that magic doesn't exist. But how Battler decided to change sides was a mystery to me. The whole premise was how he was trying to win in a death game where his and his family lives were at stake. Then the theme began shifting to how he was falling in love with his opponent and finally how they, together, tried to oppose external enemy forces. While I find the idea itself intriguing, I have very big questions for its execution because if you look at this critically, you'll see that Battler gradually casts off his humanity by changing priorities from saving his family to winning the game and then to falling in love with the witch. He forgets what is at stake, losing himself in the grand game with the most dangerous adversary of his life and becomes what Kinzo was, the man possessed by the desire to make his wish come true. Just like knight becomes the dragon after killing one, so is Battler declares Kinzo to be dead to take his place instead. Except he's the protagonist. He's supposed to be the antipode to the witches' machinations, the indomitable will that will crush the opposition and won't stop before anything to save his family. Isn't his fall goes against every canon? The thing is, as I come to think, umineko is not that kind of story. And while Battler is the protagonist, he wasn't supposed to be good protagonist; his tale is that of a good man seduced by passion. Ange's first appearance signified him stepping away from his path as she began to represent moral values that he eventually lost.
This song makes me wonder who I really am, but also illuminates the road i'm traversing on, so that I know my life is not in vain and i'm still alive. As if magic was real, and my soul never dying flame. Whispers asking me to look forward and continue onward with my story which is also called life... In other words its quite motivating. :3
AmaneKun but how can he deny something that is happening? He even used something like magic himself. All those red and blue texts were magic but he still denied it! WTF?

I love the fact that you added Battlers pointing at the end of the chorus XD
I've seen a lot of animes and this is pretty much the most epic opening.
Yes

This is one of those anime that you never seen but the opening is epic.
Fandom in a nutshell:
90% This anime was terrible.
8% It's not terrible because it never existed , Umineko DON'T have an anime.
2% This anime wasn't that bad, actually, It's quite nice.
More like 98% on the terrible part but your comment is still accurate
As an anime (haven't played the game YET), it wasn't terrible. Weird AF, more like.
@@Tounushi The game is great and worth a play if you have the time
That's why Anime Industry nowadays Changing drastically Because Fan Like That. Only Talk Like SMARTASS When actually Just an Asssss.
@@Tounushi
Agree
I chose to view the anime as an OVA. A bonus to see some scenes animated, but not a solid story on it's own.
Funny... That's my view on Fate/Stay Night as a whole. I haven't watched Umineko, so I'll probably read it instead. Only problem there is that I'll want to also read all of Higurashi first, to see how different it is from the anime, and then read Umineko
Umineko and Higurashi have no coralation with each other, they are made by the same author though. The Umineko manga is really pretty and I recommend it
+Otaku Plus actually both novels are related.
Really? I didn't know that! Cool! :)
Umineko makes references to Higurashi, and the relationship between Bernkastel and Rika is questionable.
I never watched the anime but i found this opening and then forgot about the name. I searched for it for seven years and finally i found it ❤. This song is a masterpiece
**prays for remake because Higurashi is doing good so far**
@Youcantfindme l it isn't! And it's actually quite amazing
@@donnamitsuki281 The fact that it's not a remake makes it even more likely for Umineko to have a remake, funnily enough, but maybe Kikonia will have an anime first?
@@kitsunami7251ciconia is very farther away from a finished story, adapting umineko episode per episode as seasons would be golden like the witch herself
@@kitsunami7251 Ciconia is an unfinished prequel to original Higurashi so likely not.
We can hope. Also the new Higurashi isn't a remake it's a sequel .
While the openings from Higurashi are like "Creep the hell out of the audience" this is more like "Right in ya faces".
The second opening from Higurashi wasn't as spooky, tbh
@@Emily8468 Yeah, not sure what OP is all about. Naraku no Hana reflects a state of emergency, it tells you we're getting close to the climax of this story but it won't be easy for the end to be a happy one. It asks the characters to stay strong and keep trying no matter what.
@ArmyAntAdam Hell is not 'Naraku no hana', it's just 'Naraku'. It's the way the Japanese call the Naraka, the Buddhist hell.
With Higurashi, there's a clear progression:
Anxiety -> Desperation -> Determination.... -> Diabetes.
This one's blatant power, and the emphasis of the audience's (and the family's) powerlessness.
this opening is freaking amazing, its make me feel good, this voice is so sweat
fans: we want a second season for umineko
ryuukishi07: best i can do is a remake/sequel of higurashi
For a second season to exist we need the first season first.
@@AcencialAMV yes
no one wants a second season of umineko anime, just read the vn or manga
@@lunastie39 I mean we’d rather have a good first season before getting a second season.
What, you're not happy to get umineko's prequel?
The umineko fandom is so tiny that most of us have a Bern or an og design Beatrice profile picture, lol
You know lately I’ve been feeling like it’s way bigger than it seems, especially with ciconia!
@@shymyn yeah, probably many people read it because of gou's cross-over, OH DESIRE
Yes
@@shymyn Honestly, I think Umineko is actually quite big in theory. I feel like quite a lot of people did read it, but as time goes on people just start moving on to other series and only few stick around. Tho I would agree that Gou and Ciconia re-vitalized the fandom.
@@Assassin559971 the thing I notice is that most people within the higurashi fanbase are more like r07 fans opposed to fans of JUST higurashi, which makes umineko feel bigger because it’s usually the most talked about r07 story amongst those fans - even if their favorite is (usually ‘rashi) something different.
NOW THIS IS WHAT I FUCKING CALL AN OPENING
YOU HEAR THAT FUCKING CHORUS AT THE START?
AMEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS
i love the song, but i also love the pictures in the video, truly amazing :)))
Such a beautiful opening...
Epic intro music
It had potential... But it was too fast, too lacking on story and details... I mean:
Even in higurashi one is able to draw similar conclusions as Rika did, but here? Battlers thesises seem off and the end was horrific.
Why was Maria close with Beatrice and why did Beatrice had a hard time to decide to kill her (except as EVA-Beateice)? What's her matter with Battler at all? And who are those people, dammit?
A wonderful and gripping VN for Visual Novel lovers, and an amazing Manga for mystery and thriller readers. Definitely recommend reading- even if the anime itself was cut short.
absolute banger
Anime: Terrible
Character Designs:Beautiful
Original Soundtrack: Amazing
I mean
The vn and the manga are great
This is my red reality:
Anime characters music : wonderful
Gothic character designs are damn amazing
The manga is beautiful
VN and manga are great, but for the animation are bad one, really bad one that you can call it trash 😅😅
Watched the anime which I enjoyed 😁 So now currently reading the manga, to find out what happens next and what was missed out 😁 Beatrice is everything 🙌🏻
The fact that this opening is better than the whole anime adaptation...
this song is a masterpiece.I love it.
Especially the italian lyrics.
after I finished Umineko ( including "last note of the golden witch'), this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
0:56
Best opening ever?
Certainly.
cant beat higurashi._.
Diao Chan IMO, it does
+Tubelight Blue IMO it doesn't._.
Umineko's opening is better than AoT opening in my opinion (please don't kill me aot fans).
To be honest AoT opening is kinda overrated
2:59 This bridge, man.... it makes me ASCEND
Awesome song ! I've always been coming back to this song once in a while for about 4 years now ^-^
Man's repling comments 10 years after the upload of the video
Respect.
Some things never change…
The name of the singer is Akiko Shikata
Kira Suzuki she's famous afaik for also being composer n singstress together
@@Evilriku13 "singstress"? I think you mean "singer"
@ArmyAntAdam I randomly came across exec harmonius on some anime radio app and quickly searched it up and found Akiko Shikata and got hooked to her songs. Her songs are just great.
@ArmyAntAdam I just checked your channel and realized one of your video got in my recommendation just few days ago. Good stuff you got there man.
She's my favorite singer
If only this was done with justice it would have made the best horror/ mystery anime with 8 seasons
i can't tell if you've read the vn or not
@@lunastie39 I mean
1 season for each ep eh lol
@@lunastie39 it makes sense if it were 8 seasons, because the manga is like 26 chapters per episode until you reach ep 6 or 7
@@venor2612 yes
@@Reunomi hi baby
Finished the Visual Novel today it is a fucking masterpiece one of the best pieces of fiction I'll never forget this story 10/10
Somone plz do a remake for umineko.
Animation doesnt even need to be crazy. Its a psychological series.
It needs at least 30 anime episodes per VN episode.
Then it will be a good adaptation.
Unfortunately just financially unviable
Actual crime that this is not on Spotify
Factssss
that italian part is awesome *-*
Andrea Fantin they really butched it up though, any italian speaking person would grimace at their pronunciations
i know, i'm italian ^^
asdasdasdasd61932 I'm German and guess how the some of the Attack on Titan soundtrack sounds to me.
+The Spyngas I am German and can't remember the opening. #ignored
+Karou The only soundtrack that really hurts my ears everytime I listen to it is "Die Hasen" from the Black Butler soundtrack. It´s like they didn´t even try to get it right. But in the end I still like it.

Dang it, 3 million views

I loved it since 2009 🥹
just wanted to say this is still getting found in 2020! Great opening, thanks for uploading the full version
So I've watched this video for years enjoying the song and never understanding the pictures other than," oh I see Rika....I guess she's Bernkastel now?" Or "The Golden Witch must be a misunderstood bad guy?"
Now that I've stopped procrastinating and watched the visual novel, I must say to anyone reading my comment PLEASE GO READ THE VISUAL NOVEL. Umineko is probably the best story I've ever read and it is a roller coaster of scares and emotions. Plus, I finally understand each picture now 😅
I haven't saw this anime for the moment but now I'm impatient to see that!
The song is so beautiful ♥.
Oh that song, all the memories are coming back.
Deen : "How much budget should we pot into the opening music?"
07thex : "Yes"
BEATRICCCEEEEEEEE
This just hits
Freaking love this song
i'm currently reading this manga, well so far the stories are very good, i wonder why none of my friends know this masterpiece
Because this story isn't very known and famous.
I usually hate anime intros, but this one is so beautiful and emotional. It also helps me remind most people in the world are empathic and feel deep. It's just the few rotten ones that make us feel bad
can't believe I love this anime because of opening
My favourite opening.

Have you finished the story?
Have you finished the story?
this is one of the best anime openings ever!!
I am in physical pain every day of my life without new, canon material from this fictional universe and have been since 2009. Gou made the suffering end for a short period of time, but I need MOAR!
Ryukishi damn it!
Sats u
Satsu higurashi satsu
We need a genius to convert this masterpiece to an ideal anime adaptation
It would be possible if it were more recognizable and popular to the mass, that way they'll have more budget.
Just finished reading the VN from 1-8 dang what a great mystery vn same as higurashi also the bgm when Rosa dual wielding the sawed off shotgun was a fucking badass and the bgm when Erika final moment on chapter 6 also good, what a good VN and worth to read
This song is a timeless classic.

Thank you
The music is so good im almost tempted to start the VN even tho it is so long
Do it, its an incredible experience you won't forget
I always thought the same and when I finally started it took only 3 weeks to complete the question arcs
Its my favorite fictional thing and vn is waay better than the anime that while I played I felt like anime was just a spoiler
Good thing im still half way through answer arcs now i dont want it to end
I honestly felt the same as you, but believe me, you'll enjoy the roller coaster ride of mysteries, magic, and of course, the horror. The time spent reading is worth the wait.;)
One of my favorite Visual Novels of all time
battler is hot tho
very nice pervert,too
Thiên Thần and very nice sinner u.u
Albiè UwU he's a draw, he isn't hot :1
Gay for Battler tbh.
I'd still tap his arse
It's the middle of the night, I randomly found this vid and was suddenly overwhelmed with a need to rant about Umineko because of course, there is fucking nothing else I should be doing right now. Some indirect spoilers ahead, I guess.
Anyway, I binged the manga somewhat recently; the VN was beginning to feel repetitive, so I followed the rec I found on this very section some time ago and, well... it's been so long since I was so much conflicted over something. First of all, because of changing artists, the manga's design is very uneven. With some I fell in love on the first sight, some grew on me throughout until I loved them too, some just were here. Funny how I remember the sharp style from the fifth chapter the most even though from artistical standpoint I liked the ch. 3 design more. It was an experience in itself: if you ever liked something that you later come to know to be unilaterally recognized as a thing of a great value, you'll understand.
Back on the track. I sincerely feel that the first three chapters were the peak of Umineko as it was first presented to us. Looking back, I believe that the big wtf moment in the end of the third arc (you all know, it's _that_ moment) was the absolute best in all series. Consequent chapters had had similar moments of glory, however, the further I went, the less I understood the general frame in which I should perceive the plot. Sound rationale that was driving the plot now was faltering while failing to give something of equal value. In the end I gave up and just accepted the new plot logic that came from seemingly nowhere, hoping later it would make at least some sense.
Guess what, it fucking did.
It was too late though. On the sixth arc I decided it was time to speed up the plot and just read the summary. After experiencing a certain profound feeling I read the final chapter of the last arc and asked myself: _why?_ Just... just why? Why must it end like this? Why have you left me, fantasy? Why everything that had happened should result in something like this? I've got my perfectly rational explanation but how dearly I wish I didn't.
In the end, I got at least some good things from this adventure. First, I came to love Sayaka Ohara and Daisuke Ono. They've given a top-tier performance that was unbelievable to listen to. I also got to hear a serious Yukari Tamura which is rare and amazing. Second, I've seen many scenes that are hard to describe just with words, but when I think about how Rosa defended her daughter while wielding the gun or the final scene of the fourth arc, I know these are moments to remember. And finally, I've seen the metaphorical giant pyrrhic victory of Battler as he was in the beginning and maybe learnt something from it. Its tremendous price makes me question its worth, but maybe it's the reason in itself. I don't know what, but I'm sure it's something important.
You've made it to the end! Thank you for reading this wall of text: it seems this was boiling inside of me all this time. If this was interesting enough, that'd make me glad.
personally (went vn all the way) I liked chiru much more than the first 4 chapters.
The expansion of the meta world made it much more exciting and the whole thematic of "love", while hinted in ch4, finally had its long awaited explaination in the last two chapters.
Ange, who pretty much had the most annoying (for me) scenes suddenly became a great character in the last chapter and basically while it had some lows (ch4 end), the whole vn was a wonderful experience.
Guess we're looking at it from different angles.
*spoilers*
I guess the thing that disapponted me the most was the ending and the whole point of proving that magic doesn't exist. But how Battler decided to change sides was a mystery to me. The whole premise was how he was trying to win in a death game where his and his family lives were at stake. Then the theme began shifting to how he was falling in love with his opponent and finally how they, together, tried to oppose external enemy forces. While I find the idea itself intriguing, I have very big questions for its execution because if you look at this critically, you'll see that Battler gradually casts off his humanity by changing priorities from saving his family to winning the game and then to falling in love with the witch. He forgets what is at stake, losing himself in the grand game with the most dangerous adversary of his life and becomes what Kinzo was, the man possessed by the desire to make his wish come true. Just like knight becomes the dragon after killing one, so is Battler declares Kinzo to be dead to take his place instead.
Except he's the protagonist. He's supposed to be the antipode to the witches' machinations, the indomitable will that will crush the opposition and won't stop before anything to save his family. Isn't his fall goes against every canon?
The thing is, as I come to think, umineko is not that kind of story. And while Battler is the protagonist, he wasn't supposed to be good protagonist; his tale is that of a good man seduced by passion. Ange's first appearance signified him stepping away from his path as she began to represent moral values that he eventually lost.
The best part of the anime, TBH.
Lily Saintclaire Check the VN ..the anime is indeed badly made but the VN is on another level of well written.
When the opening is better than the anime adaptation.
I swear everyone sleeps on this op.
This song makes me wonder who I really am, but also illuminates the road i'm traversing on, so that I know my life is not in vain and i'm still alive. As if magic was real, and my soul never dying flame. Whispers asking me to look forward and continue onward with my story which is also called life...
In other words its quite motivating. :3
k.
Considering you only watched the anime or read the manga... this is too tryhard
So desu ne gin-chan.. so desu ne. xD
***** So edgy

And people say that Attack On Titan's opening is epic.

It sucks compared to this, and many others
OmnomTheDevourer
*...... yes it is...?* *(￣ε(#￣)︴*
*OK I love both of them.. they're so lit*
Exactly
It is, but I prefer this opening more that any other one
I feel like battler could deny the existence of anything and succeed .
Not sure if Battler is really dumb or just blind. He saw magic like 100 times but still didn't believe it.
Viktors Valdemars Well that's because magic isn't real.
***** but... baaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Viktors Valdemars you saw the series ? He have to deny it or he lose gosh.
AmaneKun but how can he deny something that is happening? He even used something like magic himself. All those red and blue texts were magic but he still denied it! WTF?
First 13 seconds are so good I wished the song was like this until the end
Characters in the op:chilling and happy
Characters in the anime/story:killing and torturing each other
