You have to watch Dungeon Meshi god tier world building, characters design, amazing plot. It might look like funny comedy but it's getting darker later. Foreshadowing and writing of this anime is also amazing Also my favourite openings this season: 1. Dungeon Meshi Op 2 2. Kaii to Otome to Kamigakushi 3. Sentai Daishikkaku
Syudou has quickly become one of my favorite artists recently. Between this OP for Tsukimichi and the ED he did for Chainsaw man, both are outstanding and just the tip of what he does.
I'd argue Girls band cry and Jellyfish cant swim in the night are some of the best shows that have come out in a long while. Highly recommend you watch both
I've been watching Sand Land with my friends this season, not only because it's good, but because this is the last show that Akira Toriyama (yes, the creator of Dragon Ball) made... as in, he was directly involved in the production of it, before his passing. I was never a huge expert on Akira Toriyama's work... not like one of my friends, who has followed just about everything he's ever done. but I have such a deep respect for his aesthetic sense and cultural impact. and the OP for Sand Land is absolutely amazing. I wasn't prepared for how emotional I actually got watching it... it's such a good hearted show. I hope it is loved by many people.
9:59 if you want to hear more from Syudou you can do a full reactions to that song "Reversal", and the other Tsukumichi openings "Gambling and "Utopia", he also did the 5th Chainsaw man opening "In the backroom", and composed Ado's Ussewa he also did a self cover of that song. 14:15 you haven't and smart not watching the new Demon slayer opening as it does have some spoilers, the ending doesn't have any though but at this point you could just check full version instead. 15:03 yeah it is and song is by Tatsuya Kitani, he also did Jujutsu Kaisen opening 3 "Ao no sumika" / "Where our blue is", "Scar" opening 1 for Bleach thousand year blood war and the "Rapport" episode 1 special ending. 18:32 you're not the only one I also rank based on the song I only really rank based on animation and the whether it fits the anime or not if there are two songs I like about equal.
Fun fact: Girls Band Cry opening is played by VA of their respective characters (yeah, all the instruments) and it's their first ever roles. Singer Rina is 16 years old. They made full album that is awesome and worth checking.
The VAs are actually musicians first, so the music being good is not that surprising. What's impressive is the fact that they're doing a great VA job !
Recommendations: 1. March Comes in Like a Lion endings (I think you may have this already on your list, but just in case) 2. Kakushigoto 3. Claymore 4. Girls Last Tour endings 5. Hinamatsuri 6. Non Non Biyori 7. .Hack//Sign 8. Hajime no Ippo 9. Space Brothers 10. Barakamon
MUSHOKU TENSEI #1 LETS GO!! Easily my favorite of the season with honorable mentions such as Girls Band Cry, Kaiju No.8, and Demon Slayer. Gotta give GBC props for how well the anime is for it being all CG, its honestly amazing how good the expressions are on the characters and how smooth the movements are as well.
CG is not inherently bad, it's just that only few people in the industry know how to use it correctly, and not for saving money. For saving money GBC animators actually use 2D 👀
With Monogatari returning next month we will be getting new opening and endings ( Yoasobi doing the ending) for it, so you really need to finish reacting to the openings and endings you didn’t finish in preparation if you do react to the new opening and endings. Monogatari Opening and endings: Season 1 Openings: th-cam.com/video/1MS0JaVzVIU/w-d-xo.html Season 2 Openings: th-cam.com/video/cwOX9wSqMdg/w-d-xo.html Final Season Openings ( you reacted to these): th-cam.com/video/JL3s82oBaMg/w-d-xo.html Endings: th-cam.com/video/d1b2_uTg2DM/w-d-xo.html On an unrelated recommendation, since you just reacted to “Narrative” from Lisa and Hiroyuki Sawano, you should check out some of the ost for the Xenoblade Chronicles X video game, which Hiroyuki Sawano composed the ost for. I’d recommend “Black Tar” and “Uncontrollable” as good starting tracks to check out.
Monogatari is truly the most unique anime series for me (if not counting JoJo), from the storytelling to the personalities of each character, I can confirm that each of them has their really good and attractive backstories.
Girl's Band Cry is honestly the best opening of the season. Unfortunately the show itself isn't available anywhere legally so very few are watching it. I'm honestly surprised and happy to see it as high as it is here.
Top 5 from this season are: 1. Girls Band Cry 2. Mushoku Tensei 3. Mahouka (Irregular Magic at Highschool) 4. Go Go Loser Ranger 5. I honestly don't remember the anime name, but the AliA song.
I think I just realized you haven't done a full clean reaction to all the monogatari openings/endings. With it showing up in your patreon options, I think it'd be a cool watch
Here are my 5 + 2 classic recommendations for your next OP & ED reactions: 1. (2004) Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha OP & ED (with 5 series, 4 movies and 2 games; OPs & some movie EDs sung by that era's anisong queen: Mizuki Nana) 2. (2000) Vandread OP & ED (fire retro 90s/00s songs)(check out the EDs for cheekiness) 3. (2011) Horizon in the middle of Nowhere OP & ED 4. (2003) Chrono Crusade OP & ED 5. (2011) Anohana OP & ED Special mention: (2008) Macross Frontier ED & insert (esp the EDs like "Diamond Crevasse" & "Northern Cross" are a MUST! and their longer forms!, insert songs: Ao no Ether, Yousei) classic 1. (2000) Inuyasha OP & ED 2. (1996) Rurouni Kenshin (the 1996 series) OP & ED
1:57 Date a LIve season 5 is crazy in terms of story development, this show starts as a fun supernatural/science-fiction harem anime, and the more it goes, the more the story "sucks you in" like you always says Luke.
Yh Mushoku tensei is definitely the best anime for spring 2024 and the opening is a masterpiece as well imo But you should definitely be ready for season 3 since it’ll definitely be a masterpiece that’s better than season 1 and 2 if done properly 💯💯💯
Date a live is great, dating simulator with spirits that can wipe out cities with their powers. The MC has to kiss each one of them to seal their powers, there is a lot of cheekiness, but also plenty of mystery and drama. The most recent season had some huge revelations.
18:38 Luke, I also put a lot of weight on the song for anime openings, the visuals and story will be the plus points. Here's a suggestion... perhaps a more fair evaluation could be reached if we divide the openings into 3 types of appreciation. 1. Just listen to the opening song without the visual/animation (evaluate the song) 2. Just watch the opening without the song (sound on mute) (evaluate the visuals/animation) 3. Watch the opening with song and visual/animation combined (evaluate how well the song and visuals/animation complement each other)
Do the ED ones too! Fan and Kuma's own! You need to do a react to the Girls Band Cry and Blue Archive OP and EDs! Level 2 cheat powers OP would also be a good one.
6:10 YES! Spare me great lord. Both the openings look stunning and the songs are a vibe, the first endings animation is crazy too (second ending is more chill). That anime (or donghua, cause it's chinese) feels like all the budget went to the openings and endings, and maybe the fights in the last episodes of both seasons, but the shows overall look is just ...meh... I also think Shoukei shoujo no virgin road and Umineko no naku koro ni were like that. All money went to the opening and ending.
I’m just happy Go! Go! Loser Ranger was in top 5. I know the anime isn’t as talked about this season so I didn’t know if enough fans would have heard it to vote it.
@@korosensei._. 😂😂 I’m all caught up on the manga thanks to enjoying the first episode. Personally my favorite female character is Hisui, the green JFC in the school uniform (she says she’s a high schooler but they never give her age and the amount of years that have passed since she was young make it seem like she’d be at least early 20s so..I assume she’s just saying she’s a high schooler but isn’t.) Hisui is great. However I can definitely see why you want Suzukiri to do that. She gives off Makima vibes.
Kaiju no.8 opening is just pure hype, who woulnd not watched the last second of the opening with the sillhouette of the kaiju 8 with the title without getting excited
10:49 The opening, the ending and all the performance by the anime characters are played by the group Togenashi Togeari, a group formed for the anime, and all the girls of the band in the anime are voiced by the Togenashi Togeari musicians. So the singer is the VA for the character of the singer, the drummer is the VA for the character of the drummer, the guitarist is the VA for the character of the guitarist, etc. They are beginners in term of voice acting, so it feels more like real people, but the voice actor performance doesn't suffer from it.
The reason Sand Land looks like Dragon Ball related is because it was one of the last works of Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball/Z/Super, before he passed away at the beginning of March this year.
Kaiju No.8 opening is right up there for my #1 of the year. The sci fi/horror 80s retro style animation and the excellent yungblud song with the perfect and catchy lyrics for the anime....it just hit me the right way. First time i saw it i got these really strong nostalgia feels for movies like The Thing and They Live...strongest reaction i've had to an opening in a while.
Hey Luke, you missed out these Sawano songs: “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN” suite (th-cam.com/video/ir_PRErPnb0/w-d-xo.html ) Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED1 - "ninelie" by Aimer with chelly (EGOIST) (th-cam.com/video/X21WORLKLrE/w-d-xo.html ) Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED2 - "Through My Blood " by Aimer (th-cam.com/video/wke0Ue9BKxQ/w-d-xo.html )
My recommendations : - JELLYFISH CAN'T SWIM IN THE NIGHT OPENING - Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) openings and endings - Eyeshield 21 openings and endings - Healer Girl opening - Shaman King openings (both 2001 and 2021) + Shaman King Flowers opening - Do It Yourself opening - My Senpai is Annoying opening - Air opening - Barakamon opening - Charlotte opening - Danshi Kokosei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of High School Boys) opening - Wotakoi opening - Zombieland Saga openings - Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi opening ENJOY
The mushoku tensei opening is probably #1 because it feels like the openings are in some way also evloving with the MC. (This probably just me riding on Mushuko) I've read the original web novel and reading the LN. The Web Novel had a really good pacing. you really felt the growth of Rudeus. To me, the openings for Mushuko Tensei also feel like the growth i felt when i 1st read the web novel.
Best ending song of the season is "blan_" by Arika from Unnamed Memory. The ending for KonoSuba is also a lot of fun. The song is performed by the voice actresses, while the visuals tell a hilarious story that plays like an episode of the show.
God I really would want you to check Blue Archive's opening and ending. The opening even has hidden frames that do spoil a bit the depths of the plot, but even if you don't know how it goes, you'll enjoy it without actually spoiling yourself since said frames don't get to tell "what/how" happens. And the ending, I think you'll love it a bit too much. It hits deep in the feelings
There's a couple of anime openings where either the music or the animation itself is divorced from the finished product. Off the top of my head right now Rise - Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (Way more CG than in the show), not a negative effect though. Magical Destroyer - Magical Destroyers (This one's tone is a step depature for what the show is) not negative but emphasis is more on the style than the substance. Kogarashi Sentiment - Monogatari Second Season opening 6 (sometimes called 4) This one is just a nostalgia piece/pastiche more than having anything substantive to do animation wise with what's going on in the show itself. Still a solid opening though.
I definitively recommend the Ending from the anime - Unnamed memory song is「blan_」 by Arika. It is an anime that i would say did go under the radar for lot of people.
11:17 This is the part of slime I love, idk why. I have been watching since the beginning and was sort of falling off but the characters sitting down and discussing their world's current politics was what pulled me back in. It gave me the vibes that I had been missing from the show for a while.
Recommendation: Girl's Last Tour OP and ED, especially the special ED Song of Raindrops. This show is criminally underwatched, but the vast majority of people who have watched/read the manga will sing its praises.
1:40 The cute wolf wife singing has the same voice as Taiga from Toradora. 6:09 Opening better animated than the anime? The first thing that comes to mind are the Pop Team Epic fake openings: Twinkling Star (idol anime), Last Sparkle (mecha opening), Pretty Candle Star (more idol anime, female version and joke male version), Endless Love (live action tokusatsu). May as well watch the real openings too: POP TEAM EPIC and PSYCHO:LOGY.
Honestly the fable deserved a higher spot the anime is so unpopular and no one knows it but the op and ed are absolutely amazing as in the op we have the singer/rapper that did JJK's ed lost in paradise. Luke needs to react to the fable op and ed man
I'm disappointed Sound Euphonium 3's Op wasn't even on the list. Anyway please react to Sound Euphonium Op 1 - 3 Healer Girl Dark Gathering Undead Girl Murder Farce Bartender A Condition Called Love Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night Girls Band Cry
My Top 5 Favorite Anime Spring Openings: 1) Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School) 3rd Season opening - "Shouted Serenade" by LiSA 2) Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai (A Condition Called Love) opening - "Kimi no Sei" by Sexy Zone 3) Yuru Camp△ Season 3 opening - "Laid-Back Journey" by Kiminone 4) Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) opening 2 (+Izutsumi ver) - "Unmei" by sumika 5) Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi (Mysterious Disappearances) opening - "Hazard Symbol" by Yuyu My Top 7 Favorite Anime Spring Endings: 1) Kaiju No. 8 ending - "Nobody" by OneRepublic 2) Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) ending - "Kira Kira no Hai" (Twinkling Ash) by Regallily 3) Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School) 3rd Season ending 1 - "recall" by Kairi Yagi 4) Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai (A Condition Called Love) ending - "Every Second" (Japanese Version) by Mina Okabe 5) Yuru Camp△ Season 3 ending - "So Precious" by Asaka 6) Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School) 3rd Season ending 2 - "Snow Noir" by Sangatsu no Phantasia 7) Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii? (An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride) ending - "Tweedia" (Blue Star) by Sayaka Yamamoto
About this list, I could reccomend listening to all Date A Live Ops and Eds, a classic franchise that started cheeky and turned surprisingly serious. About songs you forgot to react, I would recommend Ragna Crimson yet again. Banger songs from the previous 2 seasons (Winter and Autumn). Another recommendation I have is Juuni Taisen, just 2 songs, pretty cool style and songs, I particularly like the ending! Love the reactions!
I would love to see you react to Fuyunohanashi. It’s a song from the anime Given that one of the lead characters sing. It’s amazing and very emotional. I don’t know if you plan on ever watching the anime though so the song has a massive spoiler in it since it’s from episode 9.
Unnamed Memory op was pretty good, Wind Breaker was amazing I personally put it as my 1st this season. I agree with the song being the most important part of the opening.
Well, since you asked, Girls Band Cry opening please xddd When it comes to it, I hope you'd react to both the tv version to see the animation, as well as the full version. The vocal's voice has put so much feeling into it that you can feel the enthusiasm.
I LOVE people saying there's spoilers in an opening. I don't care about spoilers, so I've watched a breakdown of MT's opening from the perspective of a light novel reader, and everything pointed out is either a 'blink and you'll miss it hint,or something that doesn't make sense to someone who doesn't know the story. There was one element brought up that doesn't have any significance until the episode it hints at, and without the context of the episode, you might miss it completely There's another element that the anime is only beginning to hint at. Essentially, unless you're looking for spoilers (in and outside the opening), you're probably not going to find any. 'It spoiled that x married y' .. unless you want no information, even about the main characters, you're not going to be badly spoiled
dungeon meshi is kinda one of those "lighthearted anime", although everything about it is mastered, the characters, the storytelling and especially world building, highly recommend to check it out
Haven't watched any of the spring 2024 anime yet since they don't have full seasons yet, but I've got a bunch I plan to watch. In the meantime, I made a list of top 5 songs from anime I have watched relatively recently. Top 5 anime openings from anime (or new seasons) that I've watched recently for the first time: Villainess Level 99 - LOVE or HATE? by Mayu Maeshima Liar Liar - Lies Goes On by May'n Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 - Sin by Madkid (S1 and S2 openings are also favorites) The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - Cure by Waterweed The Legendary Hero is Dead - Shinda! by Masayoshi Ōishi Had to go further back then I expected when I started the list, as I re-watched a number of anime that (while they may have good openings) don't quite qualify for the list. Links for the top two: Villainess Level 99: th-cam.com/video/vd5vRaWlZBc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OUPCNmu0YNQgE-Ag Liar Liar: th-cam.com/video/QyX3oedCSJM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h6HdAIk6v9WMQUCS I have been watching these two a lot. I think you saw a bit of Liar Liar in a big compilation video, but as far as I know haven't seen more then that clip of the opening. The link above has subtitles that you can turn on.
All openings and full OST for all 5 seasons of Date a Live are made by one person Gou Sakabe, It is kinda rare for anime in general so it is one of a sellpoints of the series
Blue Archive the Animation opening is very good. I'd say it's one of the best (the opening) this season. Both the animation and the song. And it's sung by their VA. I'd love to see you react to the full anime opening version of it.
Luke, please do a reaction to the openings and endings of : - Grancrest Senki (Record of Grancrest War), 2 openings and 2 endings - Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (The Asterisk War), 2 openings and 2 endings - Tenkuu Shinpan (High-Rise Invasion), 1 opening and 1 ending
Luke you should 100% watch Date a live. It's a really good anime imo. Not quite as 'fun and chill' tho. It has a lot of action but there's also a lot of downtime in between. There's a bit of fanservice at the start, which throws people off, but the story is great. I've read all the LN volumes and can definitely vouch for that. Btw if you want something nice and fun, try "Chilling in another world with level 2 cheat powers." Contrary to its name, its a quite a good anime. While it is an isekai it focuses mostly on the MC and the female lead's relationship
My favorite opening this season is Wind Breaker, its to good. Could you react to the "Welcome to Demon School Iruma" openings (1-3), very cheery and something you would like.
6:10 A condition called love is one of the strangest, weirdest romance anime ive ever watched, with a creepy main guy. I definitely think it's one of those shows where the OP and ED are BANGERS, but the anime itself is.....eehhh (not so much as the animation as it is the story and pacing issues, in my opinion). By the way, since lots of people are recommending Soul Land, have you ever thought about checking out some chinese anime? Like Link click, Mo Dao zu shi, Heaven Official's blessing. These 3 have been amongst the most popular ones, especially with Mo Dao Zu Shi 3 coming out recently. Amazing music and animation.
Please react to "The Weakest Tamer" OP & ED. Kuma forgot to add to this anime in one of his videos since it tied in the voting. It came out this year and it deserves some love. ♥♥♥♥
Hi Hi! I've been enjoying your content for a while now and am leaving a recommendation on the anime and music side. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis (OP: SiM - Existence) and "2nd season" Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (OP1: SiM - Let it end, OP2: The Beat Garden - walk this way) I think you would love them!
My top 5 from this season is personally 1. Wind Breaker Op - 10/10 2. Demon Slayer Op 5 - 9.5/10 3. Mushoku Tensei S2 OP - 9.25/10 4. MHA S7 OP - 9/10 5. Kaiju No. 8 OP - 9/10 Was a very good season for anime openings imo,
6:34 I would probably say the my war AOT opening and the newest one piece openings have a different art style then the actual anime but both the anime’s are great those are the 2 that came to mind for me.
Recommendation for Girls Band Cry opening, ending also the songs Void and Voiceless Fish (you're not obligated all of them if you make a video, it's just suggestions) Opening: th-cam.com/video/YDLafQ-Rg-k/w-d-xo.html Opening Full Song: th-cam.com/video/MSmfAa_oSqE/w-d-xo.html Ending: th-cam.com/video/Go6wsJwKf4c/w-d-xo.html Ending Full Song: th-cam.com/video/dJottC7FmYc/w-d-xo.html Void: th-cam.com/video/gpCHjSaetds/w-d-xo.html Voiceless Fish: th-cam.com/video/uUUzZDlrt08/w-d-xo.html
Please react to the opening and ending themes for Maison Ikkoku, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, the opening theme for Transformers 2010, Headmasters, Super God Masterforce, the Japanese ending themes for Dragon Ball Z movies one through thirteen, and the Sailor Moon ending themes.
I would really like if you could react to Decade Animash from Static Symphony. its a really good selection from 2010 to 2020 and i think you know most of the animes there
yeah, Sand Land is by the same creator as Dragon Ball last anime he worked on before passing away also, Demon Slayer is so far ahead in its plot, I do not think you can get spoiled without context of the past five seasons also also, you have not yet reacted to the Kaiju no. 8 opening and ending with visuals as far as I know
The animation style for the opening of Kaiju No.8 is quite a bit different from the animation style of the anime. The anime has a much more traditionally exaggerated anime style.
as much as I like moshuku tensei and trust me I am a huge fan of it, but I would really put kaiju or boku no hero op at the top ngl. also I suggest you listen to some of the popular syudou songs, that guy has really nice voice and I think you would like it as well.

You have to watch Dungeon Meshi god tier world building, characters design, amazing plot. It might look like funny comedy but it's getting darker later. Foreshadowing and writing of this anime is also amazing
Also my favourite openings this season:
1. Dungeon Meshi Op 2
2. Kaii to Otome to Kamigakushi
3. Sentai Daishikkaku
Day 389 asking for the openings from Tsurune, Ballroom Youkoso and Run With The Wind
Try to react some day to Detroy Metal City, is a music/comedy anime. And the Opening is something.
nanahoshi singing reaction please
Watch viral hit fr
Syudou has quickly become one of my favorite artists recently. Between this OP for Tsukimichi and the ED he did for Chainsaw man, both are outstanding and just the tip of what he does.
Syudou is also awesome cuz he has makes a lot of songs for artists like Ado.
@@Shadow-ashlad He composed Usseewa for her
Absolutely amazing artist! 💯
Tsukimichi's first OP is also made by Syudou, and it's great too
I'd argue Girls band cry and Jellyfish cant swim in the night are some of the best shows that have come out in a long while. Highly recommend you watch both
Personally I prefer girls band cry but that's probably a fairly unpopular opinion
@@Phantom_373 I'm with you in it. Love both but Girls Band Cry is my fav this season.
@@esoes835 I adore the music and Nina so much
Lesgoo GBC gang. Jellyfish still very good tho.
Haven't watched Girls band cry, but I agree that Jellyfish is amazing so far!
I've been watching Sand Land with my friends this season, not only because it's good, but because this is the last show that Akira Toriyama (yes, the creator of Dragon Ball) made... as in, he was directly involved in the production of it, before his passing. I was never a huge expert on Akira Toriyama's work... not like one of my friends, who has followed just about everything he's ever done. but I have such a deep respect for his aesthetic sense and cultural impact. and the OP for Sand Land is absolutely amazing. I wasn't prepared for how emotional I actually got watching it... it's such a good hearted show. I hope it is loved by many people.
9:59 if you want to hear more from Syudou you can do a full reactions to that song "Reversal", and the other Tsukumichi openings "Gambling and "Utopia", he also did the 5th Chainsaw man opening "In the backroom", and composed Ado's Ussewa he also did a self cover of that song.
14:15 you haven't and smart not watching the new Demon slayer opening as it does have some spoilers, the ending doesn't have any though but at this point you could just check full version instead.
15:03 yeah it is and song is by Tatsuya Kitani, he also did Jujutsu Kaisen opening 3 "Ao no sumika" / "Where our blue is", "Scar" opening 1 for Bleach thousand year blood war and the "Rapport" episode 1 special ending.
18:32 you're not the only one I also rank based on the song I only really rank based on animation and the whether it fits the anime or not if there are two songs I like about equal.
Fun fact: Girls Band Cry opening is played by VA of their respective characters (yeah, all the instruments) and it's their first ever roles. Singer Rina is 16 years old. They made full album that is awesome and worth checking.
wow, awesome!
The VAs are actually musicians first, so the music being good is not that surprising. What's impressive is the fact that they're doing a great VA job !
4:12 .....I think it's time you check out "Black butler" openings & endings ..... Some good SID songs are in there hiding
The openings and endings are so good. Even the movie ost is a gem.
@@silvia3316yeah agree..... this anime does pretty good with it's songs
Ikr, I've asked for this so many times too
Yes pls 🙏🏼❤️
I keep recommending those as well, hope he sees this!

1. March Comes in Like a Lion endings (I think you may have this already on your list, but just in case)

5. Hinamatsuri
6. Non Non Biyori

MUSHOKU TENSEI #1 LETS GO!! Easily my favorite of the season with honorable mentions such as Girls Band Cry, Kaiju No.8, and Demon Slayer.
Gotta give GBC props for how well the anime is for it being all CG, its honestly amazing how good the expressions are on the characters and how smooth the movements are as well.
CG is not inherently bad, it's just that only few people in the industry know how to use it correctly, and not for saving money.
For saving money GBC animators actually use 2D 👀
With Monogatari returning next month we will be getting new opening and endings ( Yoasobi doing the ending) for it, so you really need to finish reacting to the openings and endings you didn’t finish in preparation if you do react to the new opening and endings.
Monogatari Opening and endings:
Season 1 Openings: th-cam.com/video/1MS0JaVzVIU/w-d-xo.html
Season 2 Openings: th-cam.com/video/cwOX9wSqMdg/w-d-xo.html
Final Season Openings ( you reacted to these): th-cam.com/video/JL3s82oBaMg/w-d-xo.html
Endings: th-cam.com/video/d1b2_uTg2DM/w-d-xo.html
On an unrelated recommendation, since you just reacted to “Narrative” from Lisa and Hiroyuki Sawano, you should check out some of the ost for the Xenoblade Chronicles X video game, which Hiroyuki Sawano composed the ost for. I’d recommend “Black Tar” and “Uncontrollable” as good starting tracks to check out.
Monogatari is truly the most unique anime series for me (if not counting JoJo), from the storytelling to the personalities of each character, I can confirm that each of them has their really good and attractive backstories.
1:40 Is it weird that I kinda wish Luke would react to "Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers" anime op? It is soo cuute 🥰
Nah, that'd be awesome. It's a super fun OP.
Rys best waifu of this season imo
@@culyc 1000%
Nah, Holo is the best waifu in spring 2024
Preach
Please react to Hibike! Euphonium Op and Ed.
Regrads
I second this
Please react to all tsukimichi moonlight fantasy openings, all of them are absolutely amazing
Girl's Band Cry is honestly the best opening of the season. Unfortunately the show itself isn't available anywhere legally so very few are watching it. I'm honestly surprised and happy to see it as high as it is here.
Top 5 from this season are:
1. Girls Band Cry
2. Mushoku Tensei
3. Mahouka (Irregular Magic at Highschool)
4. Go Go Loser Ranger
5. I honestly don't remember the anime name, but the AliA song.
I find both Kaiju No 8's and MHA's OP vastly overrated. Neither of them would make my top 20.
To me Kaiju N. 8 isn't an opening. Awful visuals. And MHA has the worst op and ed of all seasons.
I think I just realized you haven't done a full clean reaction to all the monogatari openings/endings. With it showing up in your patreon options, I think it'd be a cool watch
Here are my 5 + 2 classic recommendations for your next OP & ED reactions:
1. (2004) Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha OP & ED (with 5 series, 4 movies and 2 games; OPs & some movie EDs sung by that era's anisong queen: Mizuki Nana)
2. (2000) Vandread OP & ED (fire retro 90s/00s songs)(check out the EDs for cheekiness)
3. (2011) Horizon in the middle of Nowhere OP & ED
4. (2003) Chrono Crusade OP & ED
5. (2011) Anohana OP & ED
Special mention: (2008) Macross Frontier ED & insert (esp the EDs like "Diamond Crevasse" & "Northern Cross" are a MUST! and their longer forms!, insert songs: Ao no Ether, Yousei)
classic
1. (2000) Inuyasha OP & ED
2. (1996) Rurouni Kenshin (the 1996 series) OP & ED
23 is Black Butlers newest opening please listen to the Black Butler Openings
1:57 Date a LIve season 5 is crazy in terms of story development, this show starts as a fun supernatural/science-fiction harem anime, and the more it goes, the more the story "sucks you in" like you always says Luke.
Luke likes Kuma so much... I worry about the curse!
o7 Kuma
Oh no 😢
wdym? explain pls
@@yehwtf3685 It's a joke about how every character in anime that Luke says that he likes ends up dying.
@@Tatersalad666 is kuma an anime character? i thought kuma was the guy who made the anime opening compilations?
"Jellyfish can't swim in the night" has one of the best ops I've heard in a while! And the Bartender one is a really good chillwatch!
Sand Land was 1 of Akira Toriyama last projects
Yh Mushoku tensei is definitely the best anime for spring 2024 and the opening is a masterpiece as well imo
But you should definitely be ready for season 3 since it’ll definitely be a masterpiece that’s better than season 1 and 2 if done properly 💯💯💯
I agree Mushoku Tensei is my top 1
Date a live is great, dating simulator with spirits that can wipe out cities with their powers. The MC has to kiss each one of them to seal their powers, there is a lot of cheekiness, but also plenty of mystery and drama. The most recent season had some huge revelations.
18:38 Luke, I also put a lot of weight on the song for anime openings, the visuals and story will be the plus points.
Here's a suggestion... perhaps a more fair evaluation could be reached if we divide the openings into 3 types of appreciation.
1. Just listen to the opening song without the visual/animation (evaluate the song)
2. Just watch the opening without the song (sound on mute) (evaluate the visuals/animation)
3. Watch the opening with song and visual/animation combined (evaluate how well the song and visuals/animation complement each other)
Do the ED ones too! Fan and Kuma's own!
You need to do a react to the Girls Band Cry and Blue Archive OP and EDs! Level 2 cheat powers OP would also be a good one.
6:10 YES! Spare me great lord. Both the openings look stunning and the songs are a vibe, the first endings animation is crazy too (second ending is more chill). That anime (or donghua, cause it's chinese) feels like all the budget went to the openings and endings, and maybe the fights in the last episodes of both seasons, but the shows overall look is just ...meh...
I also think Shoukei shoujo no virgin road and Umineko no naku koro ni were like that. All money went to the opening and ending.
I’m just happy Go! Go! Loser Ranger was in top 5. I know the anime isn’t as talked about this season so I didn’t know if enough fans would have heard it to vote it.
I love the show it's a 9 for me atm, also suzukiri needs to step on me
@@korosensei._. 😂😂 I’m all caught up on the manga thanks to enjoying the first episode. Personally my favorite female character is Hisui, the green JFC in the school uniform (she says she’s a high schooler but they never give her age and the amount of years that have passed since she was young make it seem like she’d be at least early 20s so..I assume she’s just saying she’s a high schooler but isn’t.)
Hisui is great. However I can definitely see why you want Suzukiri to do that. She gives off Makima vibes.
Kaiju no.8 opening is just pure hype, who woulnd not watched the last second of the opening with the sillhouette of the kaiju 8 with the title without getting excited
10:49 The opening, the ending and all the performance by the anime characters are played by the group Togenashi Togeari, a group formed for the anime, and all the girls of the band in the anime are voiced by the Togenashi Togeari musicians. So the singer is the VA for the character of the singer, the drummer is the VA for the character of the drummer, the guitarist is the VA for the character of the guitarist, etc. They are beginners in term of voice acting, so it feels more like real people, but the voice actor performance doesn't suffer from it.
The reason Sand Land looks like Dragon Ball related is because it was one of the last works of Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball/Z/Super, before he passed away at the beginning of March this year.
Kaiju No.8 opening is right up there for my #1 of the year. The sci fi/horror 80s retro style animation and the excellent yungblud song with the perfect and catchy lyrics for the anime....it just hit me the right way. First time i saw it i got these really strong nostalgia feels for movies like The Thing and They Live...strongest reaction i've had to an opening in a while.
Hey Luke, you missed out these Sawano songs:
“MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN” suite (th-cam.com/video/ir_PRErPnb0/w-d-xo.html )
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED1 - "ninelie" by Aimer with chelly (EGOIST) (th-cam.com/video/X21WORLKLrE/w-d-xo.html )
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED2 - "Through My Blood " by Aimer (th-cam.com/video/wke0Ue9BKxQ/w-d-xo.html )

ENJOY
The mushoku tensei opening is probably #1 because it feels like the openings are in some way also evloving with the MC. (This probably just me riding on Mushuko) I've read the original web novel and reading the LN. The Web Novel had a really good pacing. you really felt the growth of Rudeus. To me, the openings for Mushuko Tensei also feel like the growth i felt when i 1st read the web novel.
Best ending song of the season is "blan_" by Arika from Unnamed Memory.
The ending for KonoSuba is also a lot of fun. The song is performed by the voice actresses, while the visuals tell a hilarious story that plays like an episode of the show.
God I really would want you to check Blue Archive's opening and ending. The opening even has hidden frames that do spoil a bit the depths of the plot, but even if you don't know how it goes, you'll enjoy it without actually spoiling yourself since said frames don't get to tell "what/how" happens. And the ending, I think you'll love it a bit too much. It hits deep in the feelings
6:24 the first thing comes to my mind is Death parade, the opening is nothing like the show
and both the opening and the show are awsome
I recommend you Girls band cry opening. Also Go go loser ranger ending and banished former hero lives as he pleases opening and ending
Openings top 5 for this season:
1. Girls Band Cry
2. Wind Breaker
3. Jellyfish Can't Swim at Night
4. Konosuba
5. Kaiju no 8
There's a couple of anime openings where either the music or the animation itself is divorced from the finished product.
Off the top of my head right now
Rise - Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (Way more CG than in the show), not a negative effect though.
Magical Destroyer - Magical Destroyers (This one's tone is a step depature for what the show is) not negative but emphasis is more on the style than the substance.
Kogarashi Sentiment - Monogatari Second Season opening 6 (sometimes called 4) This one is just a nostalgia piece/pastiche more than having anything substantive to do animation wise with what's going on in the show itself. Still a solid opening though.
I definitively recommend the Ending from the anime - Unnamed memory
song is「blan_」 by Arika.
It is an anime that i would say did go under the radar for lot of people.
11:17 This is the part of slime I love, idk why. I have been watching since the beginning and was sort of falling off but the characters sitting down and discussing their world's current politics was what pulled me back in. It gave me the vibes that I had been missing from the show for a while.
My favorite ending this season is Go! Go! Loser Ranger’s ending. Its great ^^
Recommendation: Girl's Last Tour OP and ED, especially the special ED Song of Raindrops. This show is criminally underwatched, but the vast majority of people who have watched/read the manga will sing its praises.
1:40 The cute wolf wife singing has the same voice as Taiga from Toradora.
6:09 Opening better animated than the anime? The first thing that comes to mind are the Pop Team Epic fake openings: Twinkling Star (idol anime), Last Sparkle (mecha opening), Pretty Candle Star (more idol anime, female version and joke male version), Endless Love (live action tokusatsu). May as well watch the real openings too: POP TEAM EPIC and PSYCHO:LOGY.
the new mha ed is incredible its SO full of emotion
Honestly the fable deserved a higher spot the anime is so unpopular and no one knows it but the op and ed are absolutely amazing as in the op we have the singer/rapper that did JJK's ed lost in paradise. Luke needs to react to the fable op and ed man
I'm disappointed Sound Euphonium 3's Op wasn't even on the list.
Anyway please react to
Sound Euphonium Op 1 - 3
Healer Girl
Dark Gathering
Undead Girl Murder Farce
Bartender
A Condition Called Love
Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night
Girls Band Cry

About this list, I could reccomend listening to all Date A Live Ops and Eds, a classic franchise that started cheeky and turned surprisingly serious.
About songs you forgot to react, I would recommend Ragna Crimson yet again. Banger songs from the previous 2 seasons (Winter and Autumn).
Another recommendation I have is Juuni Taisen, just 2 songs, pretty cool style and songs, I particularly like the ending!
Love the reactions!
I would love to see you react to Fuyunohanashi. It’s a song from the anime Given that one of the lead characters sing. It’s amazing and very emotional.
I don’t know if you plan on ever watching the anime though so the song has a massive spoiler in it since it’s from episode 9.
3:23 Tinasha from Unnamed Memory is voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki (VA for Anya from Spy x Family)
Unnamed Memory op was pretty good, Wind Breaker was amazing I personally put it as my 1st this season. I agree with the song being the most important part of the opening.
Well, since you asked, Girls Band Cry opening please xddd
When it comes to it, I hope you'd react to both the tv version to see the animation, as well as the full version. The vocal's voice has put so much feeling into it that you can feel the enthusiasm.
On my knees, hoping that one day you'll react to Dungeon Meshi/Deliscious in Dungeon
I LOVE people saying there's spoilers in an opening. I don't care about spoilers, so I've watched a breakdown of MT's opening from the perspective of a light novel reader, and everything pointed out is either a 'blink and you'll miss it hint,or something that doesn't make sense to someone who doesn't know the story.
There was one element brought up that doesn't have any significance until the episode it hints at, and without the context of the episode, you might miss it completely
There's another element that the anime is only beginning to hint at.
Essentially, unless you're looking for spoilers (in and outside the opening), you're probably not going to find any.
'It spoiled that x married y' .. unless you want no information, even about the main characters, you're not going to be badly spoiled
dungeon meshi is kinda one of those "lighthearted anime", although everything about it is mastered, the characters, the storytelling and especially world building, highly recommend to check it out
Haven't watched any of the spring 2024 anime yet since they don't have full seasons yet, but I've got a bunch I plan to watch. In the meantime, I made a list of top 5 songs from anime I have watched relatively recently.
Top 5 anime openings from anime (or new seasons) that I've watched recently for the first time:
Villainess Level 99 - LOVE or HATE? by Mayu Maeshima
Liar Liar - Lies Goes On by May'n
Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 - Sin by Madkid (S1 and S2 openings are also favorites)
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - Cure by Waterweed
The Legendary Hero is Dead - Shinda! by Masayoshi Ōishi
Had to go further back then I expected when I started the list, as I re-watched a number of anime that (while they may have good openings) don't quite qualify for the list.
Links for the top two:
Villainess Level 99: th-cam.com/video/vd5vRaWlZBc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OUPCNmu0YNQgE-Ag
Liar Liar: th-cam.com/video/QyX3oedCSJM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h6HdAIk6v9WMQUCS
I have been watching these two a lot. I think you saw a bit of Liar Liar in a big compilation video, but as far as I know haven't seen more then that clip of the opening. The link above has subtitles that you can turn on.
im back. and yes i recommended op and ed girls band cry... its so amazingly awsome
All openings and full OST for all 5 seasons of Date a Live are made by one person Gou Sakabe, It is kinda rare for anime in general so it is one of a sellpoints of the series
You should react to the Tsuki Michi Openings and Endings for both seasons. It’s an underrated show that has an interesting spin on the Isekai genre.
Blue Archive the Animation opening is very good. I'd say it's one of the best (the opening) this season. Both the animation and the song. And it's sung by their VA. I'd love to see you react to the full anime opening version of it.
Luke, please do a reaction to the openings and endings of :
- Grancrest Senki (Record of Grancrest War), 2 openings and 2 endings
- Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (The Asterisk War), 2 openings and 2 endings
- Tenkuu Shinpan (High-Rise Invasion), 1 opening and 1 ending
Yo try EDs some are banger but gets overlooked cause its ED songs. But really some are really good you should listen to it
Luke you should 100% watch Date a live. It's a really good anime imo. Not quite as 'fun and chill' tho. It has a lot of action but there's also a lot of downtime in between.
There's a bit of fanservice at the start, which throws people off, but the story is great. I've read all the LN volumes and can definitely vouch for that.
Btw if you want something nice and fun, try "Chilling in another world with level 2 cheat powers."
Contrary to its name, its a quite a good anime. While it is an isekai it focuses mostly on the MC and the female lead's relationship
6:10 there is, it's called Beserk (2016) Iirc
My favorite opening this season is Wind Breaker, its to good.
Could you react to the "Welcome to Demon School Iruma" openings (1-3), very cheery and something you would like.
6:10 A condition called love is one of the strangest, weirdest romance anime ive ever watched, with a creepy main guy. I definitely think it's one of those shows where the OP and ED are BANGERS, but the anime itself is.....eehhh (not so much as the animation as it is the story and pacing issues, in my opinion). By the way, since lots of people are recommending Soul Land, have you ever thought about checking out some chinese anime? Like Link click, Mo Dao zu shi, Heaven Official's blessing. These 3 have been amongst the most popular ones, especially with Mo Dao Zu Shi 3 coming out recently. Amazing music and animation.
Please react to "The Weakest Tamer" OP & ED. Kuma forgot to add to this anime in one of his videos since it tied in the voting. It came out this year and it deserves some love. ♥♥♥♥
Hi Hi! I've been enjoying your content for a while now and am leaving a recommendation on the anime and music side. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis (OP: SiM - Existence) and "2nd season" Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (OP1: SiM - Let it end, OP2: The Beat Garden - walk this way) I think you would love them!
You would LOVE Kaiju No. 8!!
My favourite opening was Kaijuu 8-gou. Although it was much better than the actual anime itself, and rather abstract.
The opening to high school of the dead bro is awesome. I promise you would love it.
Meritocracy" by Aimi still up there as a sweet ending for this season.
Mission: Yozakura Family is seriously my all-time favorite manga
You should do the Kuma video for the endings of this season
My top 5 from this season is personally
1. Wind Breaker Op - 10/10
2. Demon Slayer Op 5 - 9.5/10
3. Mushoku Tensei S2 OP - 9.25/10
4. MHA S7 OP - 9/10
5. Kaiju No. 8 OP - 9/10
Was a very good season for anime openings imo,
6:34 I would probably say the my war AOT opening and the newest one piece openings have a different art style then the actual anime but both the anime’s are great those are the 2 that came to mind for me.
btw if you want a "music" anime with explosions, tatk op destiny or lost song
and if people say "train anime" i think rail wars
If you like sad but not dark stories and different types of alcohol, you'll love watching Bartender Glass of god.
Recommendation for Girls Band Cry opening, ending also the songs Void and Voiceless Fish (you're not obligated all of them if you make a video, it's just suggestions)
Opening: th-cam.com/video/YDLafQ-Rg-k/w-d-xo.html
Opening Full Song: th-cam.com/video/MSmfAa_oSqE/w-d-xo.html
Ending: th-cam.com/video/Go6wsJwKf4c/w-d-xo.html
Ending Full Song: th-cam.com/video/dJottC7FmYc/w-d-xo.html
Void: th-cam.com/video/gpCHjSaetds/w-d-xo.html
Voiceless Fish: th-cam.com/video/uUUzZDlrt08/w-d-xo.html
9:53 SYUDOU MY GOAT!
React to Banana Fish endings 1 and 2.
The first one is by King Gnu and the second one is by Survive Said The Prophet.
Kaijin no8 was the most popular manga in 1-2 yr, many ppl gave it very high hope, far above solo leveling, don't know why not much ppl react it
have he reacted the 11th op of mha?
the Eve one
Please react to the opening and ending themes for Maison Ikkoku, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, the opening theme for Transformers 2010, Headmasters, Super God Masterforce, the Japanese ending themes for Dragon Ball Z movies one through thirteen, and the Sailor Moon ending themes.
I think kenka dokuhaku also got pretty damn good op and ed and animation style.
The Fable is amazing in his own way. Very underrated.
We should totally recomend the Black Butler openings and endings to Luke, especially since he liked the one in this video.
I would really like if you could react to Decade Animash from Static Symphony. its a really good selection from 2010 to 2020 and i think you know most of the animes there
9:21 It's not only sweet as hell, it's also crazy as hell. :)
You've got to check out the OP's for Eden Zero!!!! Please!!!!
yeah, Sand Land is by the same creator as Dragon Ball
last anime he worked on before passing away
also, Demon Slayer is so far ahead in its plot, I do not think you can get spoiled without context of the past five seasons
also also, you have not yet reacted to the Kaiju no. 8 opening and ending with visuals as far as I know
Now it's time to do the fan voted spring anime endings
Another reminder that u haven't reacted to fruits basket eds
I am still waiting for Zombie Land Saga reaction as you like musical anime with great story/character
The animation style for the opening of Kaiju No.8 is quite a bit different from the animation style of the anime. The anime has a much more traditionally exaggerated anime style.
Can we get a reaction to the Arifureta openings? The anime isn't good but the openings are bangers
as much as I like moshuku tensei and trust me I am a huge fan of it, but I would really put kaiju or boku no hero op at the top ngl.
also I suggest you listen to some of the popular syudou songs, that guy has really nice voice and I think you would like it as well.
