In hindsight, I think we can all agree that Houkago no Pleiades had the best OP of 2015, right?

Just listen to this glorious shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNkPJvVEm0s

HnP or OPOTY thread, I guess. Whatever it evolves to.

I didn't really care much for it when it was airing, but I did actually end up really liking it later on.
I think it's the MV that really makes it though. It's pretty nicely put together.
>>
>>136139734
I actually liked the Subaru commercial overall, but the OP is cookie-cutter j-pop anime opening, you could drop it into any one of three dozen moe shows and nobody would know the difference.

This, on the other hand, WAS the best OP song of 2015: https://youtu.be/9UzJFDRz_f4

It's pretty good, yeah. Though I'd probably take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOU4YiuaxAM as my runner-up.

Can't get the damn thing out of my head ever since the show aired.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHcJjfSIZ8I

When it debuted it was basically an awkwardly re-edited version of the first OP with a slower song and substitute episode footage which is a god awful impression of it to associate it with.
>>
>>136142722
I was rewatching the BDs recently and completely forgot that happened.
The second ending has the final character images off the bat instead of gradually changing too, what a shame.

Am I the only one that actually preferred the first OP?

Those violins and stuff do things for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nBZbmvRNro

Then again, I'm a huge sucker for the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles OST, too, which had plenty of those instruments.

FFCC would totally work as an anime and I'm still eagerly awaiting for that to happen.
>>
>>136142926
I don't have a huge preference either way but the first OP wasn't this year so I can't use it to call OP a fag.

Of course I have other options

OP here, don't you dare use Symphogear against me to mark me as a faggot.

I prefer it too.
OP 2 didn't feel like a good fit for a show like Cross Ange.
>>
>>136142926
No, the second OP is absolutely unfitting as an opening. It has no impact, no sound, no melody.

No but HnP did have couple of the year, male character of the year, and was anime of the year.

>>
>>136150315
The designs are great, esüecially in S2 and S3. S1's designs are a bit inferior, but that's because the first half was made by a different studio and then transferred halfway to the current one.

Season one was the best season though.
1>2~3
Zerk Biki was cool along with actual stakes for using the Geah
Dark Maria was cool but then in turned into murder and whinging.
Dolls were cool but it got super repetitive and Maria dragged the story right down. Biki going through the same arc for a third time didn't help either.
Two and three aren't equal but which one is better really ends up depending on how you're looking at it at the time.
At this moment I'd say 3 was better overall but two had a better finale.

Best song in this anime wasn't even the OP, but Nanako's song.

>>136151320
>two had a better finale
S2's finale was rather boring as they were just destroying soulless monsters, basically nothing more than pest control on a large basis.

I view the three seasons as fairly equal.
S1 sucked in the first half, S2 sucked in the middle, S3 sucked in the second half, so they're pretty even.
>>
>>136151920
S2 finale as an event had all sorts of cool shit happening over the what, three episodes it spanned. The tricky Geah bursting to fuck people up and stuff like that. Super fusion final ability. All sorts of cool stuff.
Three seemed weaker. It had it all lined up then let it down. Also Biki's fusion spot light got hogged out a bit by Maria who had sucked up enough screen time as it was.

Not liking Maria is your problem though, not a fault of the show.

>>136152639
Yeah, I wanted to say that episodes 7-10 were rather weak. The finale was okay but it could have been better, and it probably was planned in a better way before other people started messing with the writing again.

Only Mariafags like her. She was everyone's problem. She'd be fine if relegated to side character that appears every so often. The B team should have stayed separate and came back for when shit was real or for occasional, action, fun or comedy, they aren't capable of pulling MC tier drama like the main three are.
