Sword art online. The epitome of a mediocre anime but the music slaps.
I actually liked .hack//sign
Absolute duo. The anime is just your standard harem bullshit with a story that makes no sense, but the opening is so good. I watched that anime exactly because I got intrigued by the opening, and got disappointed
I don’t remember anything about dot hack except it sad so damn boring. I think it had a good premise and decent art but all the Mc did was nothing.
Sign was super hyped during release, boasting a tie in with a game series iirc.
I was really expecting something special but holy shit did it it go absolutely no where.
As a result I never watched (or played) anything else in the hack series.
It barely pays off in IMOQ(The first 4 .hack games), G.U did better to tie the game and anime together, though the G.U anime is also pretty optional.
There’s some really solid bits of .hack media, but it’s kinda lost in the less than great stuff, and the Key of Twilight manga has an uncomfortable amount of “My sister’s hot”.
Not just the OP, the soundtrack as a whole is an absolute banger. Emily Bindiger did a really great job singing all of the songs in the show.
Not just the opening, but the whole OST was so good.
For sure, the OP to Assassin’s Pride. Great song, forgettable show.
Divine Gate was exceedingly mid (not surprising, it’s based off a mobile game), but its OP One Me, Two Hearts is a banger
Mirai no Mirai(YouTube link)
Nanatsu no Taizai(animethemes.moe link)
And I think Kyousougiga is good, but the opening(animethemes.moe link) is on another level.Kyousougiga represent
I loved .hack it’s one of my favorites it’s not action packed but it is emotional which I thought was the point
I haven’t watched it since about when this clip of the opening was first uploaded, but I recall a lot of the emotional beats getting undercut by long bits of dialogue interrupting the events of the show.
For instance I remember some fight where it felt like every time someone started speaking all of the other characters stopped everything they were doing as if waiting for their turn to do something. Which wouldn’t have been so bad considering you don’t want the camera to miss the actiony bits but it took so much time for anyone to say their line that it was distracting.
Again, haven’t seen it in a long time so I may be misremembering, but that was the impression I got from my initial viewing.
Bee Train doesn’t make “mid” anime.
I was getting burned off of so many harem and shonen animes that were carbon copies of each other.
Then suddenly, dot hack sign hit us with this killer first episode. I remember the audio was messed up. Music blasted at 11 and you couldn’t hear the dialog. It was incredible.
After episode 3… I dropped it. Every time I see dot hack sign, I wonder if in a alt reality, if it’s at the Naruto/One Piece level of quality and lifem
Neon Genesis Evagelion has a banger opening, and the first few episodes make you want to see where they are taking the story, but alas it goes no where :/
