      @@plugshirt1762 Nah, Chimera Ant is easily better than Yorknew. For one, there's nothing wrong with CA's pacing, it needs all the time it uses for the insane complexity and depth of the arc, and it also needed all of the set up for the first 30-40 episodes in order to have the incredible climax that is the palace invasion. But even the set up is all incredible. I honestly don't comprehend how people find the set up of CA boring or think the pacing is bad. I feel like I watched a different show whenever anyone gives that take. All of the set up is really interesting world building, and I love the insane tiny but incredibly important details it explores every time it slows down and has the narrator speak. Peak fiction. York New is incredible too, really all of HxH is imo, but I really don't think it holds a candle to what an accomplishment of storytelling Chimera Ant is. It's pretty much perfect.

    As someone who doesn't watch anime but is huge into Japanese music it's really weird not to have the bands mentioned in the description, and seeing so few people talking about them in the comments_so, just in case someone is interested and finds this comment:
    the Code Geass opening was [band - song title]
    FLOW - Colours
    Fire Force were
    Mrs. Green Apple - Inferno
    The Vinland openings were:
    Survive said the Prophet - Mukanjyo
    Man With a Mission - Dark Crow
    Neon Genesis Evangelion
    Yoko Takahashi - Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis
    Hunter x Hunter was
    Ono Masatoshi - departure
    the Rainbow opening was
    coldrain - We're not alone
    Anime tracks are usually written by well known bands and solo artists. It's a two way promotion thing - at the beginning the bands promote the [new] anime and once it gets popular the anime promotes the bands.

    you should consider looking for the full version of the openings, if you think it is worth it of course, remember anime openings are only the first half of the song because it is only a little minute and a half intro to hype you up, more often than not, the real gem, the crazy/good part of the song is hidden in the second half you don't listen in the opening and as always, thanks a lot for stopping constantly and having the dedication to educate us so much, I really mean it when I say I'm thankful as someone who likes the technicalities of music but is not knowledgeable about it, to have you taking us for a ride with the anime songs we like is a privilege, of course the same goes for any professional reacting and explaining things and that said, if I wanted to listen the full song no stop I would just do it in another app or just see some annoying guy going like wooooaaaa yooooo noooo that sick uuuuuuu like that annoying people that can't shut up in the movies theater without providing any valuable or educational input I wouldn't be here

    The Neon Genesis Evangelion intro, "A Cruel Angel's Thesis," is my favorite anime intro of all time, for my favorite anime of all time.
    Not only was this anime genre defining, but it was so impactful and influential that it's still a major name in anime in Japan to this day. Some anime come and go, some stay mostly popular in the west, but some remain in their homeland as titans of their medium. Evangelion started in 1995, and in 2021 aired its final movie. This anime covers all kinds of emotion on such a personal level that it feels real. You FEEL for these characters, and there's a reason people say they came out of it depressed, but that's not the point of the series.
    Evangelion shows us that yes, while the world and even ourselves might be fucked up at times, there's always good out there, and things will get better. It teaches us that it's important to love ourselves and accept that we're all flawed human beings, and that's ok.
    NGE came into my life at the perfect time and has stuck with me since. No anime has come close to impacting me on the same level as Evangelion did, and the opening stands as a my favorite in honor of what it did for me. I highly recommend this show, and while it can feel slow at times, some of those slow moments are the most impactful.

    The last song for Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin is We're Not Alone by Coldrain. They have a lot of other great music but this song is so perfect for the show. For context, Rainbow is set in a violent 1955 Japan, 10 years after the US dropped the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There's a scene at 35:18 where there's the flash of it from one of the characters living through it firsthand as a child. 6 teens are sent to prison where they meet "Bro," a little older mentor that teaches them what it means to be men and what it means to fight for your dreams with everything you have. So the song is violent; it's in your face but ultimately is an anthem for hope.

    Hey Tony, really loving your deep dives into the music theory. Makes me enjoy music in a deeper way than i thought was possible.
    With regard to when openings swap, it's because anime is often divided up in "cours", which is a quarter of a year, and 12-13 episodes.
    Some shows get two cours in a row, and might just have one opening for it all, but the majority change with each cour.
    Long running shows that don't experience a hiatus, like One Piece, can keep the same opening for over 50 episodes.
    Now for some suggestions:
    1. ALL Black Clover openings (but especially 3, 6 and 10)
    2. King's ranking opening 2 (full version, not just the 1½ minute anime opening)
    3. Noragami opening 2
    4. Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu opening
    5. Magi: Labyrinth of magic opening 2
    Keep up the great content, and rock on!

    If you haven't yet, the Black Clover openings are so good! Especially Opening 3 (Black Rover) and 10 (Black Catcher). The Demon Slayer ones are fantastic as well. Love your content!

    Watching HunterxHunter is a good idea because it is one of the greatest stories ever told, not just anime, period.

      I love HxH but that's just cap. We've barely covered 20% of the story unfortunately. Maybe less.

      @@bendover7841 The story of HxH is incredibly vast, so that's a given. However, Gon's story is completed (not to say he couldn't come back) the 2011 anime covered the "entire" story of Hunter x Hunter (it's literally the name of the story. Gon and Ging being the hunters, in the name)

      @@UndergroundRose if we're only taking that part into consideration, the story isn't very long and dense even though the world building is fantastic. I don't believe it has enough substance to be considered one of the greatest stories ever told. Especially considering how many stories there are in various mediums other than just manga. I hope we can get an ending for HxH like we got for Yu Yu Hakusho. But at this point that seems like a lot to ask. I'm just happy we're getting a few more chapters.
