One of the best anime this season: "Bad Girl" has a very energetic otaku-esque OP theme where the song is sung by the seiyuu and the characters are doing silly wacky dance (not TikTok dance). The Anisong in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbocaCxe5gUThis OP theme is widely praised by otaku across Japan, especially older otaku from Heisei era who are getting tired of modern anime OP themes which are just viral bait for riajuu, which usually are sung by popular J-Pop artists, have lyrics that are unrelated to the theme of the anime, and/or full of monotonic TikTok-esque dance animation.Are we about to return to the era of OTAKU SOVL?
>>281878414>Bad Girl fans
OP here I'm gay
>>281878459patrician otaku watch bad girlzoomer normalfags watch watanare
>>281878414Nothing wrong with cute tiktok dances tho
AiScream won, though.
>>281878503everything is wrong
>>281878414Hell yeah, I love songs that have the name of the show all over it, they remind me of the 90s shows for kids like the Brave series or early 00s like Doremi. I hate how these days is Sony shilling their new darling like Asobi last year.
>yuri anime>the target audience is guys in their 30s
>>281878540Who loves lesbians more than guys?
>>281878472>patrician otakuNotice that pic was taken in the 90s. Half of those guys must be dead by now for lack of exercise and eating junk food only
>>281878540Kirara anime is just harem without a male main character, just heroines.
>>281878540Yes
Why do yurifags overvalue so much mediocre slop to high hell? Feels like it's been happening a lot lately.
>>281878550Watanare is real yuri and it's popular with women
>>281878552Nah, those guys probably became gacha addicts or v-tuber simps or both. classic anime otaku are almost extinct by now.
>>281878414I like this phenotype, like she'll sit on your lap and tease you for getting an erection
>>281878569Can confirm, my girl likes it.
I don't get what arguement OP is trying to make here. His example pretty much has the same tiktokesque gimmick that draws in the zoomers. Is OP saying he's a faggot?
>>281878564Source?
>>281878414Ok but why do the ALWAYS run and jump or even start floating in the air? (not complaining)
>making a thread about YouTube comments
carmine sounds better though
>>281878414>especially older otaku from Heisei era who are getting tired of modern anime OP themes which are just viral bait for riajuu, which usually are sung by popular J-Pop artists, have lyrics that are unrelated to the theme of the anime, and/or full of monotonic TikTok-esque dance animation.Uncultured swine here. Is it stuff like Yoasobi they are referring to or meme shit like Shikanoko or Mashle?
>>281878636You don't know about the Kirara Jump?
>>281878565Majima winning really broke them.
>>281878414Huh, I thought this style of OP never diedMaybe it's cause I don't watch normime
>>281878472Patrician otaku are not watching either of those
>>281878503>>281878511So was that from a tiktok thing? or was it trying to get girls to dance like those characters and uploading it to tiktok?
>>281878720list those anime.
>>281878584>classic anime otaku are almost extinct by nowWhat's a classic anime otaku? Like one of the Gainax guys in Otaku no Video?
>>281878721what are patrician otaku watching then?
>>281878667Yeah. Although it's been years since I seriously watched any series heavily involving more than a couple female characters of importance (or an all-female cast one) and every time I check one of these containing the exact same shenanigans I find it amusing. So is that why? To make me chuckle?
>>281878651Mashle and Yoasobi are good examples yes, Shikanoko is the polar opposite, that's what they want
>>281878755From this season? Most likely anime like muumuu
>>281878503It depends on the anime. It was a great fit for Food Court, a series about two gen z girls chatting and scrolling through their phones.
>>281878773>Shikanoko is the polar opposite, that's what they wantBut that is still meme dance marketing based. If they are so old school hardcore I assume they would want something akin to Megumi Hayashibara
>>281878757It's a tradition at this point, you gotta include the kirara jump man, I remember an image compilation of it.
>>281878724yes- always looking at the camera- emotionless- barely any leg movement so they don't go outside of the vertical recording area- obnoxious body and hand movementThese things are what differentiate normal dance with tiktok dance
someone post Witch Watch's tiktok dance
>>281878414I'm glad to hear the japanese hate tiktok dances as much as us.
>>281878414Seiyuu songs are the only good openings. Nobody wants to hear some generic flavor of the month band.
>>281878819They are not against meme dances and Shikanoko is sung by the cast, what they are complaining about is the amount of anime that use the op/ed to promote bands without any regard for the anime itself or that try to bait people with shitty TikTok dances
>>281878414>I've been a self-proclaimed otaku for six years
>>281878934>6 yrs ago was 2019damn...
>>281878926>try to bait people with shitty TikTok dancesDoesn't that describe Shikanoko?
>>281878912Nah, I like them to sound anime like and nowadays they don't, that's the problem
>op by nana mizuki>op by faylan>op by jam projectwe didn't know how good we had it
>>281878926we used to have big names like Laruku, Asian Kungfu Generations, Janne Darc, Orange Range, Porno Graffiti, Scandal or Flow etc etc back in the days as well.
>>281878414But /a/ told me everyone loves them and they are totally the same as older anime openings and totally not different from 1-2 minute long choreos like hare hare yukai or lucky star.What happened? Did /a/ lie to me?Or was it all zoomers who never even watched anything older than 2020?
>>281878971Nana is still singing OP songs of random seasonal kusoanime thoughever.Fripside is also a kusoanime specialist, usually shitty VN or no-audience LN adaptation since many years ago.
Making things we like is bad actually they should make things otaku hate. -retard 5ch otaku
>>281878950That's like saying that Haruhi did the same with Hare hare yuukai, Shikanoko popularity op with zoomers was something totally fortuitous.
>>281878926That's just Sony wanting to promote their hottest band, they have been doing this since the early 00s.
>>281879008>That's like saying that Haruhi did the same with Hare hare yuukaiPerhaps, but I'm not the one complaining about tiktok dance anime OPs
>>281879022It has gotten to ridiculous levels in the last 10 years or so, we barely get an opening or ending nowadays that sounds like an anime theme
>>281878414>moeslopWho cares
>>281879000>Nana is still singing OP songs of random seasonal kusoanime thoughever.The Dekoboko op was so damn good, mad there is no video of a live performance of it>>281879008>That's like saying that Haruhi did the same with Hare hare yuukaiTbf Haruhi triggered the popularity of parapara like crazy at the time, not defending tiktok but I believe that some timely popularity of a dance is not bad as long as it's not bad quality wise.
>>281879071Such are the problems with full blown globalization, they need to make songs that can be played anywhere and everywhere.
>>281878414Explain the difference between "silly wacky dances" and "TikTok dances"
>>281878414>This OP theme is widely praised by otaku across Japan, especially older otaku from Heisei era who are getting tired of modern anime OP themes which are just viral bait for riajuu, which usually are sung by popular J-Pop artists, have lyrics that are unrelated to the theme of the anime, and/or full of monotonic TikTok-esque dance animation.What the fuck anime are these? I have never seen this. Am I watching the wrong shows?
>>281878414>otaku anime has an OP that panders to otakuimagine my shock
>>281879178yeah? the point is most anime aren't made for kimo otaku anymore.
>>281878651>>281878773Yoasobi may not have a great track record for anime OPs, but that Witch Watch OP is unironically the best this year.https://v.animethemes.moe/WitchWatch-OP1.webm
>>281879167I think you're watching the right shows.
>>281879231Then you have Witch Watch OP 2...
>>281879231Nah second op is better by a long shot. Their best song is still Undead from Monogatari.
>>281879000didn't fripside's vocalist retire?
>>281879299Don't make your bait so obvious
>>281879307No? Nanjo hit the wall and can't get married anymore (she's really hot, what a waste). there's nothing she can do but continue singing.
>>281879320Swear by my mother I wasn't baiting.
>>281879342There is not a single real person in the world who thinks the second OP is better, let alone by a long shot.
>>281879354haha....
>>281878414I absolutely despise these types of OPs and anime needs way way way less of them
>>281878651>>281878773>>281879231>YoasobiI'm not sure about this one in particular, Idol, Yuusha and Watch Me! were totally written with the source material in mind, and had amazing visuals to go along. I am not familiar with other OPs by Yoasobi but at the very least those three are pretty good.
>>281878565How is the series overhyped?
>>281878565>>281879495watanare is overhyped. bad girl isn't.
>>281879511That is at least more understandable.
>>281879071Anisong specialist like ZAQ, Masayoshi Oishi, ect are still active, you're just not looking hard enough.
>>281878414>where the song is sung by the seiyuThis is the important part for a good OP.
>>281879471>YuushaMaybe the lyrics but the composition sucked and did not fit Frieren at all. That's actually an example of the second OP being better by a long shot.
>>281879511>watanare is overhypedBy what standard?
>>281879566the 2nd coming of yagakimi
>>281878912Nah, JAM Project is better than any songs sung by the seiyuu.
>>281879577>YagaKimiNow that was overhyped slop.
>>281879591I'm not complaining, but why are they all barefoot?
>>281879594Yeah, but we can't have JAM project do every OP. Or can we?
>>281879594I mean JAM Project is the band to go for a giant robot anime.>>281879618Author's fetish, like smell.
>>281879566>I don't like it and a lot of other peope do = overhyped
>>281879527I love classroom of elite. chuuni cringe kino.
>>281879661>Author's fetishGuess I have to pick up this anime then
>>281879695This is the author, a yakuza.
>>281879708based yuri danshi
>>281879708>no tatsFake
>>281878414why do they hate joy?
>>281879561Well the composition is always up for debate I suppose, but as you said it's not like the entire music was made without having the original work in mind, which is what OP was complaining about.
>>281879527Dude I've been watching most of the airing seasonals for the last 20 years, I think I look into it at least more than most
>>281878565Mental illness, just take a look at the thread everyone is talking about anisongs and they are just shit flinging and spamming random images just because, don't take them seriously just ignore them.
>>281878414>doing silly wacky dance (not TikTok dance)There is literally nothing setting apart the retarded dances in that OP from any other TikTok bait dance. The dance is completely confined to a narrow vertical space like any other TikTok dance.
>>281878414>modern anime OP themes which are just viral bait for riajuu, which usually are sung by popular J-Pop artistsHow has modern anime fallen this badly?
>>281879231The song was whatever, cool animation though.
>>281880256Did you really want to post an anime where a foreigner composed the op?Or is it fine because Moriguchi Hiroko was new?
>>281880650The most iconic dance of the 20s.
>>281880650Was it autism?
>>281878414It's over.. time to accept that the peak of otaku was reached in 2016-2018 and replay anime from that era+a few like Bad Girls.
>>281881008>peak otaku was 2016-2018
>>281880650>weebnigs get their panties in a bunch over anime girls dancing and being silly and they need to make a point of making it publicly known that they are angry and/or displeasedTwittardation is too widespread at this point
>>281879149>silly wacky dancesThe characters dance and I like it>TikTok dancesThe characters dance and I don't like it
>>281880650I unironically love it for how dumb it is.
>>281878472Where do I land, as I'm watching both of these shows?
>>281882090I like both but prefer baddogaaru
>>281879149some of the gifs anons are posting just look like the moves from those large mass-produced idol girl groups
>>281878755Nothing. They're all extinct from lack of exercise and going outside.
>>281882090It means your brain wasn't destroyed by social media
>>281878540Aren't anime fans on the brink of death in their 30s though?
>>281878414Based af nglAlso>Yoaslopbi
>>281878741>he doesn't lift for his waifungmi
>>281882301Is this a normalfag coping that he's being worked like slave to death in a ditch while anime fans are just simply dying happy in peace while enjoying their hobby inside their comfy room?
>>281878414It's not a bad OP but I don't see what's so different about it compared to the hundreds of other CGDCT/moe anime OPs sung by the seiyuu that we get every other season?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhYMhoPx0O4
>>281883661I don't know if you have noticed it yet but anime OPs and EDs used to be made for the anime itself, while part of the phenomenon people are complaining about involves simply taking already existing songs from a band sony wants to shill and calling it a day, at first it was a song at least vaguely related to the contents of that season but these days they stopped giving a shit and just grab whatever the fuck.
>>281883661The last time we had a Kirara op like that was mono.
>>281878755picrel
>>281882301>>281882274Are you actually stupid or just underaged? You can lead a terrible lifestyle and still live to your 60s and 70s. Your grandfather's generation used to drink alcohol daily and they weren't dying in their 30s
>>281880650I think they’re sending signals that they’re being held hostage.
>>281878414>Half of the fucking comments contradicts OPs point
>>281878472Can you explain why that is?
>>281884409Which comments in that picture contradict him?
>>281878651>Onimai avatarfag has a question
>>281884520Nevermind, Skimmed too fast and thought OP was shitting on Bad girls OP
>>281878565Not a yurifag but have you seen most seasonal anime? 90% of it is mediocre slop
>>281879110Fighting windmills again?
>>281878565>Why do yurifags overvalue so much mediocre slop to high hell? Feels like it's been happening a lot lately.Because yurifags have 2-3 shows each season max to latch on and soemtimes just 1.So you need to praise the stuff you get, if you get 10 similiar harem isekai shows with male MC, you can be picky.
>wah we want TikTok meme dance ops sung by the VAs and not by popular bandsJust skip it bitch
>>281884210>>281883115I don't think he was taking about diets or lack of exercise.
>>281878414Newfags? Mainstream anime that target normalfags always had mainstream bands, it's not a new phenomenon. Just look up who does the songs for stuff like Conon, One Piece, Kenshin, Naruto, Bleach, FMA etc Bad Girl is Kirara CGDCT and they don't use mainstream Jpop
>>281878414i'm glad i'm not the only one who was annoyed by the blatant attempts to start a tiktok dance trend in modern anime op/eds
I feel so out of the loop.Are these really Tiktok inspired?How much time do you guys spend on Tiktok to be able to say this with certainty?I mean I'll take your word for it, but it's still a little alienating when everyone here seems to know exactly what a Tiktok dances are like.
>>281885084No, it's a meme because "tiktok dances" are popular since they have to be short and eyecatching by design.
>>281885084I'm certain modern anime dances are choreographed to be put on social media aka viral bait.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZkAlHquRPs
>>281885159another onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Af899HBjo
>>281885159>>281885180Oh, you mean like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15mChHs9VU4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L4krBEWS9Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1OrROuqn8Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xx4tszZ-DE
>>281885855yeahdancing in general is a normalfag activity
stupid dances are soulful
>>281879471>Watch Me!how dare they release a song with the same name as another just a year later.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_E6t628wPw
>>281878790It’s always great. I wanna see the villain of the show doing silly TikTok dances with the whole cast in the OP
>>281878414yurichads keep winning
