ED, but it goes way harder than it should for being an ED for not the most popular anime. It goes to some cool places and captures a feeling I can't quite describe.

I hate this opening, it's massively tone-deaf. The anime itself is not optimistic at all, it's pretty depressing and the apocalypse happens at the end. BUT HERE'S AN UPBEAT J-POP SONG. Fucking bullshit
>>
>>128655762
The song's title is 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis' and its in a minor key, I don't think it's as upbeat as you think it is.

>>128656021
The instrumental part is too cheesy to be taken seriously

>>128655762
>>128656021
>>128656737
for me it was pretty jarring the first time i watched the anime with the opening, for the series was super gruesome and serious despite the ocassional funny bits. with time i learned to love the cheese kino that is cruels angels thesis. later i learned that anno wanted to use some borodin sonata iirc for the opening originally, then his tardwrangler suggested they instead use some corny ass intro, and im glad they did, it sets some cool contrast and grass touching point "its just an anime bro, ok, relax".

Based, that's also my favourite intro. Best soundtrack of any anime, which is expected because it's the best anime in general. I don't know why the City Hunter intros keep getting taken down from youtube.

Imagine if Anno would have used Polovtsian dances just like he wanted. If you try to edit the opening yourself, the moment when the chorus starts sinchronizes perfectly with titles screen

Anime openings can be funny in the sense it'll open with a tough sounding 80s hard rock/metal riff and then you get the most random out of place female pop vocalist to sing over it.
