ANIME OP PROJECT - Things Anime Openings Love To Do
🕑 Added 2024-08-05 00:55:20 +0000 UTCHey all!
Aloha, Amy, and I are hard at work at our main Best Anime Openings of All Time project. The blocking is mostly done and the full video will be somewhere around 70 minutes long. This project has basically turned into a video essay. I'm quite proud of how it's coming along!
Amy and I have two thousand hours worth of anime-opening-pinions at this point, so when the video launches we'll be putting out a lot of extra Patreon-exclusive content alongside its release.
First off is this! A look into some things we noticed that many, many, many anime openings do. In typical Me fashion, I spent too much time making this look nice, so I hope you enjoy it! This is not comprehensive by any means, I just tried to gather around 1-2 minutes of examples from each thing to show how often they happen.
The main video will have custom art from FlareGunCalamity, who you can often see in the audience of our streams yelling at me about rocks.
I don't have any kind of ETA on this video as this month is very busy for us. Amy and I literally just sent a new lease application for a place in Canada in the last ten minutes and if we get it (🤞) then I'll be spending a lot of time flying back and forth and moving furniture from LA across the border. Also we'll need to decorate our new place and I don't want to spend all my time working before Amy starts school in September.

I predicted that Women Crying would have a Black Clover inclusion, but I thought it was gonna be Noelle crying rather than Secre. I vaguely remember her moping dramatically across multiple OPs in the anime's run.

I loved how the editing and animation hit the beats of the music during the Road Signs part! And Women Crying really got me
SnoCone
2:09 women...

lmao you synced the tsuritama op up to the music better than the op did
JelloApocalypse
It's Terror in Resonance

Also I'm curious which OP had the most cliches overall. I counted a lot for Nokotan and Terror in Resonance here

Rewatching this and I'm still blown away by how highly specific it gets. What are the odds of bloody SALT FLATS being this popular?? I bet some dude just did it once and all of anime's been copying them for the rest of time

Very fun video! As an aside, a new anime opening from this season that goes so hard is the opening to Akaneko Ramen! I know you and yam have watched like hundreds, but its got a really neat song and I think the opening animation is pretty cute!
psychogaze
Of course the only one that I wasn't aware of was FISH
Intercosmic
brick and mortar mentioned ??? also this video is so fun to watch actually

i am impressed with how well timed the chosen background music is with each set of openings. nice editing
NoahTheOtter
I love that you put Parappa in here haha

Oh no! The second drawing, Ramsey’s fursona commission is spreading!

THANKS PURPLE! <3

"Ocean Man" hit me like a Rickroll
Nathaniel Ehlig
Really nice editing on this. It’s hilarious how many animes reuse these ideas.

"if only" by fiction plane, most notable for appearing in the film Holes
PurpleIsDebeste
i love the transition from Free! into Actors Songs Connection because those are basically the exact same shot lmao
JelloApocalypse
The latter

re: the people on tumblr complaining about the patreon link: did you just have a "cw: slutty little paywall" reaction image on hand, or did you go out of your way to create that image? both options are mind-boggling but the mind's gotta know which way to boggle
Flare TheGunCalamity
i sang that “you had a bad day” song for my 4th grade talent show
Bunni89
I love the commitment to having the big SALT FLATS crack along with the screen shatter effect
StarStine
This is amazing, galaxybrain choice of music ("Bad day" made me laugh real hard), the designs for the "title cards" are so cool and the transitions between clips flow so well. Damn good work, looking forward to more!
Demifly
whats the song playing during the salt flats sections?
DWC
That's some high effort work. Nice.

I hope you include "Characters Walking" somewhere in the full video.
JelloApocalypse
My theory is that fish look natural floating through the air because that's the motion they make in water, so if you need to fill space, it's easy to fill it with floating fish if you don't want to animate something!

God so many naruto openings have sakura crying or looking otherwise morose in them. you could make a 20 min video just of that.

"Well I can think of some explanations for why use of street signs, chain link fences, and clock gears can be quite evocative--" F I S H "...honestly I got nothing."

The OP video preview is like if an old 2009 AMV grew up and got it's life together, and I'm here for it. Also, if I had a nickel for every goldfish-head man Bo has drawn for Jello, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that's it's happened twice.
Happy
That shot of the CG deer on a salt flat raising its head, only for the camera to pull back revealing an entire herd of CG deer as the music crescendos. That's art right there.
Daniel
Wow you played If Only from Holes. I literally started singing that constantly juest because you sang it in that drawing live stream for like 40 seconds. The brainworm burrows deeper
Mayel Ruiz
5:25 I love this part this is gotta be my favorite song
