MODERATORS
Some standout OPs and EDs for me this season are:
Least favourite OPs:
I also really like the Mayonaka Punch ED and Makeine OP. They both play a lot with their visual style. I like it when shows get pretty playful with visual styles during the OP/ED since it is a chance for them to really get creative with it with no impact/consequences for the rest of the show.
Totally agree with Suicide Squad. I think the ED song is wasted with the visuals they paired it with while the OP is really nothing special.
As for 2.5D Seduction, assuming you are talking about the OP, I can't put my finger on it. I do agree that it sounds a bit off, but I suspect it might actually just be the mixing. The song is very vocals forward, having the other musical elements quieter and pushed to the background whenever the singing happens. They also have a very pronounced section in the chorus where the vocals and music are very punctuated like the shutter of a camera that only emphasized this and I wasn't a big fan of. I am by no means a composer or anything like that, but that is my feeling having listened to a bunch of these now to prepare this post.
Interesting point, but I don't think that's the reason why I don't like it. I think the song being vocal forward actually helps it, due to how busy the instrumental is. I think it's his voice/singing style that I'm simply not a fan of. Not to say it's bad, it's just not my thing
The NieR ED is the only credits song I'm willing to sit through rather than skipping this season. (I'm picky, or maybe just old. Some seasons I don't find even one OP or ED that doesn't grate on my nerves.)
