Least appropriate OP/ED songs/animations [Archive]

something

I'm sure this has been done before, but as the elderly sages at 4chan say, "everyday is repost day", so humor me.

What op/eds just don't fit their show at all? This can be music or animation but I imagine it's usually a mix of the two.

First up: A Bleach ED, "Happy People". I would cringe and rush to end the episode the second this abomination came on. Not only is it a crappy song to begin with, it's also terribly inappropriate for the show at that point. THE PEOPLE WERE NOT HAPPY. Not remotely. There was no happiness being had. Zilch. Quite the opposite. I was overjoyed the day that ED got changed.

Next: Narutaru OP, don't know the title. But it was... well, not exactly in synch with the tone of the show from episode 2 onwards >____> to put it lightly.

Any others?

I have to agree about the song not fitting the show at all. However, the song itself WASN'T bad, jsut not approriate. God, imagen if the anime went further on and that was still the opening. /images/graemlins/knowital.gif

Anywho, another one is Black Cat's Ending. I don't know why, it just doesn't fit with the mood. (The TV version I believe is edited, because of several impails, but still, there's no reason why this should be here in the first place). Also, I really don't know what to think of the song, in this case. I guess I'd call it average.

Another one is Eflen Lied's Ending. Good song, but really out of place with the mood.

Oh, and, Wild Arms Second Ending song, Hoshizora. /images/graemlins/depresse.gif That.... Was atrocious. And it's worse that ADV only used this ending (besides CONTINUOUS) instead both the first and second ending.

Agreed, it was decent enough. This thread indeed does not have to be about bad songs, just totally inapropriate ones for the series.

Futakoi Alternative, at least when the show's in its serious mode (around the time Sara and Souju are separated). Strangely enough, the one episode where they dropped the OP (#12) was probably the one episode in the series where it was really in keeping with the story...

Legend of Black Heaven OP is the one that comes to mind quickly. What makes it worse is the OP is what they used for the trailer. The song fit but the animation had nothing of the story, characters in it or, even the kind of animation style for the story. I think that the OP turned a lot of people away from the series.

Any Naruto Opening or Ending.

1. The songs are sad excuses for some very bad bands to get their 1.5 minutes of fame per episode. Terrible, TERRIBLE songs.

2. The animation is ALWAYS the same. How many times do those idiot kids have to get up, run out and see the freaking sunrise?! How many times do we need to see the fatass outrun Naruto?! (How is that possible anyway?!)

3. The opening that was done sort of like a comic book was neat looking though.

Haha, I saw the crazy Futakoi Alt op as, along with episode one. part of the nefarious scheme to hook us all with action and service, but then crush our skulls (in a good way) with awesome relationship drama and deep characterization. I'm glad they did, because episode one hooked me, and then the rest hooked me in a very different and even more menaingful way.

But yeah, for the most part the op doesn't represent the show well at all. It's an awesome op sequence though XD

"Wind" was drop dead *perfect* for Naruto. "Haruka Kanata" also fit very well at that stage. "Viva Rock" wasn't trying to match or not match really, it was just some rock with a character scroll, so it was decent enough. Some of the other songs make no damn sense, definitely.

But theres no way "Wind" can possibly be seen as inappropriate for Naruto. It's one of the most appropriate themes ever, especially early on when Naruto was spending so much time trying to find somewhere he belonged.

The first series that comes to mind is Diamond Daydreams. Seriously when it first aired many were even saying the opening was out of place on message boards. Like it was some sort of trap. From what I remember the opening was upbeat and happy. While the show was more like a slow drama.

01-02-2006, 08:17 AM

The Escaflowne ending "Mystic Eyes", because it's not appropriate for anything.

Well, both the opening and closing songs/animations for Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok are pretty misleading for the most part. I love both the songs and the animations for these sequences, but it makes the show seem a lot more serious than it really is.

The first thing I thought of was Gundam Seed Destiny: Chemistry - Wings Of Words. I don't think they could have picked a more boring song to put in as the final intro after having 7 prior great high impact fast tracks as openings. It didn't suit ths show's style either at all. Plus Chemistry is just boring imo.

The Divergence Eve ending. The animation (although not fitting in with the tone of the show) is cute, but that way too perky song...

01-02-2006, 01:44 PM

The Brain Powered OP animation. "IN MY DREAM" is a good song, but the images have nothing to do with the show. Specifically, you'd think it was a hentai-yuri series or something. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

This one was strange, as I didn't see why people hated it so much. Yes, it's a little boring, but I think it works with the animation used. Maybe Sunrise should have swapped the last OP with the last ED, since people wanted a more fast paced OP.

I disliked all of the Rurouni Kenshin OPs, but especially "Sobakasu/Freckles" and "1/2". Some of the EDs were so-so, some were good, and "Heart of Sword" was freakin' awesome.

"Talent for Love" was a good ED for the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVAs... however having it immediately after Ryoko's scream of vengeance in episode 5 was horrible juxtaposition.

I have watched Berserk completely 4 times and watched the op twice because I can't stand the song. The animation isn't bad but the song is horrible, especially considering "Forces" is such a good song. At least one of the extras is "Forces" with animation going with it.

Not that this was a particularly good show or anything, but the ending song for Curse of the Undead: Yoma (or whatever the exact title is) was wildly inappropriate. I also remember the Engrish insert song for Tokyo Babylon was really, really silly. The chorus was something like "please, please, kiss, kiss, won't anybody please kiss me?" and I'm pretty sure there's a line where food condiments are mentioned for no good reason.

I also don't really care for Fullmetal Alchemist's OP "Ready, Steady, GO". It's noisy, annoying, and nonsensical. The ED's aren't that good either.

I've grown tired of the second OP "Ready Steady Go" because it's the only one FUNimation sent to Cartoon Network!

Also I never was a big fan of the 3rd and 4th Fullmetal Alchemist Ed songs. For some reason they felt really tacked on as if the sponsor needed to plug them somewhere and the FMA slots were simply available and popular enough. I know that's the case quite often but somehow those instances really stood out in my memory.

In my opinion, "Pump Up!" is one of the worst offenders out there. Another that I found myself rolling my eyes at recently is the Z-mind closer, "Rouge".

Other notables:

"The Sun Warms My Heart" - 1st ED from 801 TTS Airbats (despite the fact that I really like it)
"Under the Sky" - Burst Angel ED (ditto)
"Groovy!" - 1st CCS ED (yup)
"I May be in Love With You" - Cyber City Oedo ED (and again...)
"Sexy, sexy" - Ghost Stories ED (it makes sense for the sometimes raunchy dub, but not for the original story)
Several of the Irresponsible Captain Tyor OVA EDs, if not all of them
"I Like to Be a Woman After All" - Kacho Oji (The Legend of Black Heaven) ED (wildly inappropriate)
"Choushi ni Notte Orimashita" (I think that's the one that the dubbed "Money no More" is based on) - Pretty Sammy OVAs, ep. 1 (rather dumb in either language)
"Full of Memories" - 3rd Ranma 1/2 TV OP
"Tactics" - 1st Rurouni Kenshin TV ED (I like this one in both languages though)
"Tapestry" and "Sayonara" - Takahashi Rumiko Theater OP and ED
The Tenchi Muyo OVA 3 ED (can't find its title, at the moment)
"Kuchibiru no Shinwa" - 1st Virtua Fighter ED

This is all I can think of, at the moment.

But at least everyone remembers that insert song performed by Matsuoka Hideaki because it was put in the most dramatic and emotional scene of the first OVA, thereby ruining the atmosphere completely and acheiving legendary notoriety!

Sadly, the above-mentioned Brain Powerd may have actually, you know, been a good anime if the opening sequence correctly foreshadowed a series about six naked chicks and robots.

The opening animation of the Hana Yori Dango TV series is grossly inappropriate and nonsensical until the Movie was released a year and a half after episode 1, but I love it nonetheless.

Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star)'s second ending, "Dry Your Tears" is an awesome example of poignant 80s power love ballads, but doesn't really make any sense combined with a stillshot of a forrest, not to mention following scenes in which several mutants heads graphically exploded.

Super Dimensional Century Orguss had it's fair share of wha? songs: the ending TV theme song was a J-folk song called "Kokoro wa Gypsy" with the opening lyrics "I am a gypsy." No, shut up. You're Japanese. You're not a fucking gypsy! Orguss 02's first OP/END (used for the first four episodes) was grossly inappropriate hard-industrial pop that didn't fit a series about WWI-like kingdoms with real robot mechas AT ALL.

Nadia's opening were unrealistic because they had NADIA SMILING.

For some reason the song reminds me of those black&white romantic screwball comedies, where sometime during the movie the male and female leads would sing a duet together. As such, I thought it fit the relationship between Dorothy and Roger rather nicely, who have this chemistry reminiscent of those kind of movies going between them.

Has anyone mentioned the Berserk opening yet? When I think about songs appropriate for a gloomy, medieval drama, none of them contain lyrics like "Put your glasses on, nothing will go wrong.."

The ending theme is a little more fitting for the tone of the series, but it still deserves a mention for the mangled English lyrics that make no sense at all.

I just realized how Azumanga Daioh's Soramimi Cake doesn't fit the anime at all. Okay they are both crazy but that's not good enough.

The song is called FANCY HEARING CAKE. If it were in a jigsaw puzzle of a unicorn, its piece would be a circle with Mr. Yuck on it. I could not more eloquently convey that I highly doubt anyone ever expected (or should expect) it to fit with anything.

You do know that one is a translation of the other, right?
Geneon translated it as something like "Ears playing tricks cake" for the soundtrack I have, which makes more sense. Kinda.

I think it sounds more proper as "The Cake that plays tricks on my ears".

But it still doesn't make sense, how could cake do anything to anyone's ears? Japan is weird.

It may not make sense, but 'fancy hearing' is utter nonsense.

If Azumanga Daioh was meant to make sense we never would have gotten the dream sequence episode. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif Besides the mere existence of Ayumu Kasuga herself is enough to keep Azumanga Daioh from making any sense. Yeah I know about the Osaka thing, but I feel like being a dangerous rebel by calling her Ayumu Kasuga. Okay so it's a pathetic way to live on the edge, but I don't care. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

I think that episode is easily the worst episode in the series because of that. As for the opening, I don't like it at all and think it's really irritating. It makes the series seem like it's going to be something like Excel Saga from the opening but it really isn't and is pretty much the total opposite. I think the ending theme is a little bit more appropriate but it's a also a little bit weird /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif.
