Preface:

Welcome to the site, gugigor! Hope we can have a good debate.

-------------------------------------------

I'll list 3 songs along with the youtube link. If judges cannot access the videos, let me know.

------------------------

1. Sadness and Sorrow- Naruto

yt link: Naruto Soundtrack- Sadness and Sorrow (FULL VERSION) - YouTube

First, I'll start off with a classic song. Sadness and sorrow is a song that embodies pain and sorrow perfectly. I don't think there's any other song that captivates these feelings better.

2. Red Swan- Attack on Titan

yt link: "Red Swan" (Attack on Titan anime theme) - 進撃の巨人 Official Lyric Video YOSHIKI feat. Hyde - YouTube

This song is not the most popular AOT op, but it's my favorite personally. The lyrics and song name symbolizes what Eren is.

A red swan.

A fallen angel.

These 2 lyrics provide foreshadowing into what will happen in season 4.

3. Traitor's Requiem

yt link: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Opening 9 Full『TRAITOR'S REQUIEM』 - YouTube

This song is my favorite Jojo op. It's a very grand finale to what happened in Part 5 and perfectly suits what happens at the ending. (no spoilers lol)

------------------------------------

Good luck to my opponent in the next round.

Daddy! Daddy! Do! - Kaguya Sama: Love is War

You'll probably never be as cool as the singer, but you'll enjoy it nevertheless.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Beastars - Wild Side

Jazzy, groovy and funky, this song displays the *wild side* of the singer. "Taking over night, taking over blue time..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajvcdgEde4w&ab_channel=NoirWolf

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Black Clover - Black Catcher

A very catchy rock song, you'll catch anyone with this opening.

thx onto round 2. i enjoyed gugigor's songs and I think this will be a tough battle.

---------------------------------

Call Of Silence- AOT

Extremely beautiful song. Just listen to it.

yt link: Attack On Titan OST- Call of Silence (Lyrics) - YouTube

----------------------------------

I've Come- BNMHA

Basically symbolizes the heroes in MHA overall. Represents All Might flawlessly.

yt link: Boku No Hero Academia [Original Soundtrack] - "Watashi ga kita!!" (I've come! - ALL MIGHT's theme) - YouTube

----------------------------------

Gurenge- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba

I'll confess I haven't watched all of demon slayer, but the op is amazing.

On to round 3 :D

『NIGHT RUNNING』by Shin Sakiura

(Brand New Animal)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea-ThJDGJ1Y&ab_channel=AniMelody%E2%80%93AnimeMusic

Funky and jazzy, the BNA opening is almost like a Brand New song.

________________________________________________

BRADIO-Flyers

(Death Parade)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wh8FgsEtNQ&ab_channel=BRADIO

Perhaps the most deceptive anime opening ever made, this happy-go-lucky theme is super jazzy and contrasts the dark tones of the actual show.

____________________________________________________

You Say Run - BNHA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZIUtDAFIw&ab_channel=AnoKiraSenpai

When All Might says "I'm here", I say to the villains "Run". Arguably the strongest battle theme of the entire show, this turns rocks into mountains, puddles into seas, and young boys into true men.

Round 3

Final Round :D

Black Rover- Black Clover

Black Clover Opening 3 Full『Black Rover』by Vickeblanka | Lyrics - YouTube

I still don't understand why it's black rover and not black clover but its a hell of a good song.

God Of War- Naruto

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3-God Of War-EXTENDED - YouTube

Badass theme.

I'm ending this with my personal favorite, it's pretty widely respected as a great op in general.

Shinzou Wo Sosageyo- Attack on Titan

Linked Horizon - Shinzou wo Sasageyo! [Shingeki no Kyojin S2 OP] Lyrics - YouTube

I had a great time sharing these songs and I hope the judges to do.

Tokyo Ghoul - Unravel

"Oh can you tell me, can you tell me, the way the story ends?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKXi08chD2E

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso Opening

Another super deceiving anime opening, Your Lie in April tricks us with a happy-go-lucky song.

Vinland Saga Ending

Emotional and slow ballad, the ending offers a relaxing and bittersweet melody.

Song battles or these types of things should be in select winner format, there is literally no way to award s$g in this.

Oh well, I'll definitely judge this.

whiteflame

01.24.2021 12:37AM

Just need confirmation that any music from anime flies. Also, by "brief", do you have a standard? Like, a paragraph at most?

whiteflame

01.24.2021 12:37AM

So... just any songs from anime? I'd be down for this.

==================
Final Score
Croc: 68.4/90
Gugigor: 70.5/90

Short Summary: Gugigor took a lot more risks than Croc did, and I think Croc could’ve won if he switched his 2nd song at number two. This was really close and there were a lot of great options. Ultimately this was my taste in music, so someone else's could be different, but this is my opinion
