Top 5 Best Anime Opening Songs

It might be too obvious to say but Anime has some kickass opening songs. After all, when people say that nothing is complete without a little bit of music they might not be totally wrong.

When it comes to anime opening theme songs, we all might have our own set of favorites (or for some people it might be too difficult to choose) but which ones are those that can be called the greatest of all time? 

Just like every other anime fan, I have my own anime playlist some of which I am sharing with you all (sadly). Check out my top 5 favorites of all the anime that I've watched until now. Not going to lie, it was a little bit difficult to choose, but eh, you gotta choose what you gotta choose. 

1) Unravel by Toru Kitajima (Tokyo Ghoul)

If you've watched Tokyo Ghoul then how can you not have this banger as one of your favorites? In my opinion, one of the reasons Kaneki Ken Vs Jason's fight was legendary is because this song was playing in the background. I have been kind of vibing to this song ever since I heard it, I am not going to lie. 

2) The World by Nightmare (Death Note)

Death Note might not have been one of my favorite anime but this song remained with me for sure. When I started watching Death Note, I remember listening to this song and thinking how cool this song was.  

3) Blue Bird by Ikimono-gakari (Naruto Shippuden) 

Okay, I am pretty proud to say, I knew this song was a banger before it started coming in my Instagram reels. The voice of the singer is pretty amazing. Naruto has had its fair share of some of the greatest openings but this one tops them all for me 

4) Haruka Mirai by Kankaku Piero (Black Clover)

I recently started watching Black Clover (of which I have yet to write a blog about but I haven't finished watching it yet) and it's an amazing anime. This is the first opening song of the anime, and it honestly kicks ass.  

5) Paint by I don't like Mondays (One Piece)

This opening song is the recent opening song that is appearing in the One Piece anime. I am up to date with the anime and the manga as well. I want to make a blog about this anime as well, but it is never-ending, right? Lmao. I actually sing along with the song whenever it comes up and now that I think about it, I probably look funny when I do that. 

Anyways, these are my top 5 best anime opening songs that I think are just bangers and the greatest of all time. 

Anime Review: Tokyo Ghoul

 

Tokyo Ghoul by Sui Ishida

Quote: "Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they are bad people. It means they're human."

Plot: In the world of Tokyo Ghoul, humans are not the superior beings who are the last in the food chain, but there are Ghouls. Ghouls are beings that survive by eating humans and are more powerful than them. They hide from the authorities who hunt them for the welfare of human society. Kaneki Ken, a simple and kind boy gets in between these two worlds when he goes on a date with a sweet girl, thinking what could really go wrong? 

In a world where both species are fighting to survive, who can decide who is wrong and right and who will win in the end? 

My Personal Views: Let's start with Tokyo Ghoul's season 1 opening music. I found the song, Unravel, quite beautiful. The lyrics and the music were really heart-touching. I am not usually someone who likes Japanese music, but after Blue Bird, Unravel is the only anime music that has stuck with me.

I had heard great things about Tokyo Ghoul and to be honest, Season 1 stuck up to the expectations but unfortunately, I can't say the same about season 2. I could literally see the downfall. Not going to lie, the plot is actually a masterpiece (even in Season 2) but what I did not like about season 2 was how it did not follow the manga which resulted in the plot having gaps and not understanding many of the scenes.  

Considering it was a dark anime, the storyline was actually pretty good. I felt in the first season that Kaneki Ken was too much of a goody two-shoe but ohmygod when he fought Jason? That whole fight was so badass and Kaneki became quite badass in the second season. I also liked how they changed his whole look in the second season with all the white hair and black nails (even though how he acquired those looks was quite painful and heartbreaking). 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5
