Since I lost quite a lot of faith in anime these days I actually care more about the opening than the show in most show I watch, and knowing this tokyo ghoul adaptation was going to be bad, I was expecting an opening that I would remember at least, well nope.

The song is bland, slow and the background music is okay, too slow for this season full of fight.
The animation is really bad, the art is kind of irk me because it's so different from the anime one.

Until now it's not, all episode are full of fight. If there was more characterisation of Kaneki it might be suited but for now I don't think it is with these shonen vibes this show is giving.

What are you talking about? Episode 2 and 3 mostly consisted of character developments and there wasn't a single noteworthy fight.

what i mean is slowness not meaning of the song. so yes, this song is NOT even suitable for tokyo ghoul. should have been something which has cries, screams, etc just like unravel because this anime's main character has a lot of tides of emotions.

Looks more like and ending than an opening. And it's too slow and simple for an anime like Tokyo Ghoul, with action, gore and everything else.

Basically this. This OP is not as flashly and catchy as Unravel and the masses are pissed.


No - that's got nothing, or little, to do with it.

If it had been a GOOD opening people would have still liked it, fact is that it's not a good opening. It's got barely any actual animation in it, is very, VERY slow paced for an opening and does little to make you excited for the show.

It basically fails at everything an OP should do, it's exactly suited to be an ED - which are usually far slower.


That is exactly what I said! This opening is not as flashy and catchy as Unravel, so people don't like it as much.

Exactly my thoughts. I like the song--- it's pretty catchy if you ask me. It's just that I don't like it as an opening, that's all.

Nothing can beat unravel
but the op has grown on me ever since the first episode and I think it suits the grim and sad ending of this season.

1) I don't see how the song relates to the series.

2) They could've expressed the symbolism in a more creative way, but they didn't.

3) Animation is lazy.

4) Lots of people agree that the first OP was better.

5) Simply put, it's not good. Sure, nothing could top Unravel, but that doesn't mean they could just make some crappy OP and think it would satisfy us.

But to each their own opinion. I don't mind this OP, but I expected something epic, so it's disappointing.

I really dislike the new op tbh.
I know a big reason for me was the fact Unravel was so AMAZING, and I knew it would be REALLY hard to top, but I was hoping the root a op would be somewhat good, like it just fell really flat and isn't memorable as its a kind of boring song and the animation is lazy (even though shirtless Kaneki is nice and all)... I rarely skip op's when I am watching a show which is airing, but for this one I do, I actually prefer to the ending to opening.

Because Its not unravel seems to the best post.

The opening is really symbols for the story. The opening with the backgrounds flowers have been mentioned as symbols through the story. For example the changing flowers when Kaneki was with Rize in his mind the flowers changed from losing his innocence.

How are this two threads related ?

Just from one look at the title and you can see that's it's no opinions but trollings.

I definitely don't agree with them, and i think that most of the openings that have been sung by Ling Tosite Sigure are worth it. Thought it's my opinion, lot of fans enjoyed abnormalize (the first opening of psycho pass) and unravel (the first opening of Tokyo Ghoul).

Most of people have high standards about the opening becouse the first one is amazing and this is one not as good as the first one. In my opinion this one is good too.

Because it just isn't good. You can argue that it's artistic and poetic, but its also an excuse for a minimal animation budget. There is no real "kick" to the song, same with the animation. It all feels very monotone. How about the lyrics? They are so deeeeeep... "the prostitute spit fire" yea deep stuff right there, she also spits out a lot more.

As everyone has expertly concluded, it just is a bad follow up to Unravel. Unravel perfectly captured Kaneki and what he was going through, plus it showed him with his BA white hair so that helped. Oh and the animation was actually animated.

Well, its a pretty boring opening. You don't even need to compare it to the first opening, its just boring.

Some people like it because its deep but its clear that it don't appeal to most people so I don't think its a very good choice.

The song isn't that bad, I mean its on my playlist. Didn't get played as much as the ending though,the ending is probably the best thing that came out of the anime.

Or better, they have a different one, but given that it's theirs, they think that's objectively good, while everything else sucks.
I can do the same, saying that to me this opening is way better than Unravel, which I found horrendous, because it's more to my likings. That doesn't mean though that I'm objectively right.

due to my short-term memory, i've forgotten how the opening for season 1 was like, therefore, i won't be needing to comparing these two openings for my reasoning.

just to start off, i can absolutely see the beautiful and thoughtful effort that the creators have put into this opening to show the new kaneki and how he's becoming. for example, the distorted music, his distorted actions; his solemn stance which can show how his desicions are just strenuous to handle.

but no one really wants to hear that sort of tune as the opening right? Some may, and that is completely fine, but after watching a very in depth and captivating beginning, and then switching over to hear the awry tune is pretty... meeep.

just my opinion!!! >3<

It does nothing to get the viewer excited for what's to come!

It's an opening made for people who like to overthink things, and read into symbolism, it's made to look 'artsy' for lack of a better term, not for your average viewer.

An opening is kind of supposed to hype you for what's to come, this one does a terrible job, not just alongside Unravel, but alongside many other openings out there.

It's not necessarily a bad song, or even imagery, it's just that... It does a terrible job at doing what it's there for, getting the viewer excited. It's more fitting to be an ending theme.

Well the second opening somewhat represent season 2 but its just too different from Unravel. Plus since Kaneki power up you would expect a more upbeat and fast tracked song.
