I'm not knocking the show (I haven't finished it) but what the hell is that OP? Listen to it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6zM_jcnkWA

If anyone knows one that sounds worse, share it here.

EDIT: I found a genre of music called "denpa songs" and they're like eurobeat-computer malfunction-techno songs from hell, purposely written to be disturbing and cacophonous. Sometimes they're used for anime openings like "Kill Me Baby". I don't know if they're worse, per se, but I find most of them unpleasant.

Still, NieA_7's OP is so damn weird and I find it creepy.

The answer to your question is "yes"

Not really. I'll take this over 95% of shounen and harem anime openings that sound generic, forgettable, and boring as hell. The singing might be weird, but you get used to it after listening to it a couple of times. It's no different from the screaming at the beginning of One Punch Man's opening, or all the screamo parts in several anime opening/ending songs, but on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to intensity (while retaining the throaty voice).

I just checked out the Youtube video, and holy crap, that really does sound bad. I thought the OP from the first season of "Radiant" sounded bad, but it's got nothing on this.

Someone needs to give that guy some lozenges.

I listened to that one you mentioned, and it sounds like a skipping CD during the first half, while the second half is a normal song sped up.

Lol, yeah, I find it so annoying to listen to, so I would skip the OP every time a new episode came out.

And here I thought this was one of the best OPs. The raspy voice really adds mood to the song. It sounds fantastic coming out of my speakers.

This and Duvet are two of my favorite OPs. Both songs are different than the usual anime OP fare, yet fit their respective shows well. Someone at Triangle Staff had good taste.

Worst OP? Really?

Sure my guy sounded like he smoked 100s of cigarettes before performing this, but damn I loved hearing this. It weirdly felt soothing and gave off a strong 80s presence for some reason. I never skipped it.

I don’t particularly like the OP, but in no way do I think it’s even halfway close to being one of the worst anime OPs ever.

I think Kill Me Baby takes that crown. At least this OP was kinds funny with the singer sounding like he's off 3 packs of Newports. Kill Me Baby's OP is just awful

yeah def not the best, you could say it's unique at least tho. i think it fits the show in a way, weird and slightly creepy at times lol. the raspy voice is so overdone it's kind of uncomfortable. a shame, would've been great because otherwise it's not too bad. but hey, i guess at least it's not some autotuned screaming japanese woman, it's something.

It fits the anime perfectly, gives the "I can't do it but I'll try my best" vibes.

Excellent and somewhat melancholic OP, it's the kind of song to listen to in a forest camp in the evening. Reminded a bit of Lain's ED.

You have a very relatable signature. I'm something of a s*x symbol myself 😎

Koi no Mikuru Densetsu - I'm the worst anime opening.

Koko made ni Oite - HOLD MY BEER.

The rest of the opening is good tho. I'd like to hear a cover.
