One reason many people feel “lost” if the opening of an anime series is omitted is that they contain a lot of important details and create emotions for the audience. That’s why the opening is considered as the leading factor to evaluate the quality of an anime. However, there are still many cases where the opening, instead of being praised, received a basket of bricks and stones.
5. Lelouch of the Rebellion (Code Geass)
With a series of the same quality as Code Geass, it’s surprising that one of its openings is so poor. Access’s Lelouch of the Rebellion is pretty catchy, but the accompanying visuals spoil the whole good impression. The use of still images instead of creating an interesting feeling for the audience makes many people mistakenly think this is just a fan-made video, not the official opening.
Considering how well done the rest of the series is, the opening is of a completely disproportionate quality and it feels like the studio was trying to hit a deadline. Fortunately, the film’s content is good enough to keep the audience engaged afterwards.
4. Opening (Kill Me Baby)
Kill Me Baby’s opening is a must-have in all lists and discussions of the most terrifying openings in anime history. The song made all the audience bewildered. Despite the singer’s rather good performance, the noisy sound mixing made listeners feel uncomfortable instead of evoking excitement. Therefore, although skipping the opening of the anime is not very recommended, most viewers share that they feel it is the best way to keep a good mood while watching this movie.
3. Opening (German version of Naruto)
Naruto is known for his great opening. This was so impressive that the German publishing company decided to compose a new opening song, using it exclusively for this market instead of using the original.
This idea would be quite interesting if the new song was simply a translation of the original lyrics. But no, the German version of Naruto with the opening is a rap song with poor lyrics, blurred, unbelievable cliché. Music with soulless words like “Sasuke is great” has made German fans unable to focus on fully enjoying the film.
2. Baki The Grappler
Most of the opening anime above, even if criticized, still have some salvageable advantage, and Baki The Grappler is simply a complete failure. The opening song is bland and the visuals are terrible.
If other anime uses top notch animation to make their intros, Baki makes his own by using low quality 3D characters. Their style closely resembles Naruto’s ninth opening, Yura Yura played by Hearts Grow, but the lack of stylistic direction and sloppy execution resulted in a disastrous product.
1. Opening (One Piece)
As an anime series with a long history, fans of the 2000s of One Piece will never forget their terrible memories with the quality of the anime adaptation at this time. Not only is it bad at dubbing, but almost everything is censored to the point of unbelievable. However, above all, the title track is still the scariest thing.
To make the film seem “trendy”, the opening song was then a rap song about pirates that many fans confessed that they still remember it in their nightmares. So far, when recalling this “dark” past, One Piece fans have all acknowledged that this is a prime example of the saying “when everything is bad, something less bad will be good”. However, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief because Western companies are no longer involved in the creation of the opening anime.
