>>121184>>121185>>121186>>121187I think if I had to put a name to this specific theme I might dub it fairy tail-like. I love it too, but it's really rare to see. Can think of a bunch of EDs that may have a visual style that could somewhat resemble it, but not many storyboarded properly to really call them such.
On another note, I love Magia. The way it subtly depicts the depletion of Madoka's soul as she descends into witchhood. Helps that the song absolutely rocks too.

>>121177PaniPoni is packed with prime Shaft, and the openings are no exception. I love it.
My favorite Shaft openings though have got to be the ones for SZS, the thought and symbolism packed into each is just astounding considering how much effort it must've taken to produce.

No.121214
>>121210I'm not sure what makes a song Western or not. English isn't terribly rare, but does it make it Western? I guess it's when Western people are involved and not a Japanese person singing in English?
Migi to Dali's ED sounds very Western for sure. It sounds like something you'd hear in a coffee shop or grocery store. It's not bad, but not really spectacular either.

>>121174Didn't care for Lycoreco too much, but I love gunslinger girl. As for OP and EDs, it's really hard to choose.
I've been listening to Wolf's Rain ost lately, and I do admit I love the opening. Fun fact: The guy who does the opening for this anime has also made songs for Sonic the Hedgehog too, specifically the Wii era games.

>>122044I like 3's opening the best, but it always struck me as odd how it connects to almost nothing in the rest of the story. Gargant wasn't even in the games until Dawn of Dreams.
No.122047
>>122046This "Gargant" guy was in Onimusha Blade Warriors which I didn't even know it existed until relatively recently. It's a weird fighting game based on it. But yeah, the intro is pretty different from the actual game in general. Almost none of the things featured in it are in the game, like those giant biological tanks, the demon pigs with the spears, the flying creatures, etc. I assume they are all Guildenstern creations made with the help of future tech though.
I really like the FFXII opening as well. That piano at the start is very memorable.

I like the Cardcaptor Sakura OPs and EDs. They all have their own appeal and I can't really pick a favourite though...
For example, the 3rd OP is cool as shit (that's the one in the embed). But some of them are super cute, others are just unique (like the 2nd OP, I really haven't heard anything like it anywhere else. Here's that one:

ED Turing Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-MVk5I6wjo. OP Shakunetsu Switch because someone mentioned they used ping pong sound effects before the chorus and I like the bass in it. Anisongs have fun composition and lyrics in general. If you download the OP/ED singles, they sometimes include bonus versions and other songs in them. I could make a list but I don't want spam links, if anything, I recommend listening to the full versions of the songs you like.
>>121187This is from the same artist, you should check out her whole discography if you like songs like that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDM0Y5dNRtA>>123204I want to rewatch it for the same reasons. That ED is how I discovered Sayuri back then, the CD included an acoustic version of one of her songs.
No.123285
>>123210I wouldn't worry about spamming links here, I made this thread in the first place because I really love anisongs and the thoughtful composition usually put into OP/EDs. I've spammed a bunch of them in the past myself too. Also kinda funny that you mention finding Sayuri from KnH since that's exactly how I found out about her too.
In other news I was relistening to Shana's themes and while the first OP is my favorite visuals+song, the ED is the best outright song.
