Definitely Rumba. Of course, I still adore Hito, but Rumba surpasses that. I was a bit doubtful that Rumba could take over with the first hearing, but after the single came out, the full version blew me away. So bizarre, so all over the place, so perfectly SZS. The string of the girls singing Rumba constantly about halfway through the song, while the music tears itself apart, and builds itself up again is truly amazing. Yuu's scratchy vocals go perfectly in sync with Kenji's, and I adore towards the end how they get more and more frantic as the song draws to a close. I often listen to the instrumental version, too. The rumba at the start for several seconds, and then the clash of instruments straight after would really send shivers throughout you. The hybrid of various genres all throughout the song blend stunningly, too!

The lyrics in Hito about being disassociated with everything, including reality itself are eerily endearing , while the vocals about the girl being there for him remind me of some twisted obsession, which goes well with the ending, Zessei Bijin. Perhaps it's just the way that it's sung reminds me of that, or how it's rather random in a song like that. The person is saying he's completely useless, and then a random female chips in.

Since Rumba is the second opening about finding the values in people, and Hito is about giving up, so to speak, it makes me wonder, is it like the person in Hito has started questioning himself, and has straightened up, wondering is anything worth it in Rumba? There's even a line that states 'straighten up!' in Hito. I quite like that idea. Perhaps I'm looking far too deep into it, but it's quite an attractive idea.

I'll even go as far as to say 'Rumba' is one of my favorite anime openings, period. In regards to visuals, I also prefer Rumba's. Although, I do adore Hito's. I adore both the openings, and they're both incredible in their own rights. Hito's was a tad shocking at the time, and upon watching the opening, you'd wonder what kind an anime SZS was going to be. Rumba makes me think of the Japan of long ago. The grey scale only added to that. The part where Nozomu and Matoi are twirling around in the air is probably my favorite part. Upon watching the opening, with no idea of what the anime is about, you'd think the two of them were deeply in love, especially with that pure look of longing on Matoi's face, and the sheer desperation in which they were trying to reach out for each other. Kafuka looking on after that, alone, only adds to how powerful the image seems.

Hito Toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru, the 1st OP's my favorite.
Second place for Rumba and third for Ringo.

And... I absolutely loathe the rap version of Rumba. Simply awful.
