Man the hunter hunter openings are just too peak but their endings are on a different level

Zipzzty

Can’t wait for the 2024 opening reactions 🙏

Emily Cox

Please watch the gaara blood scene in dub it's fucking sick

AYAYAJUICER

I find it funny that you guys said JJK characters aren't deep but you guys care about them more than any other shows you have done in the channel. JJK is good with it's own style it doesnt need couple of episodes for just characters talking. But I already feel attached to the characters than most of the shows I have watched.

MiA-is-goated

You guys should give Made in Abyss a try if you’re doing controversial animes :)

Socorro Viernes

Or the Mugen train one nahhhh.... and HxH was done wrong I love all of the visuals

Socorro Viernes

The disrespect on Lisa's Demon slayer op. I CAN'T RN

McKay Carter

SUB

YourGuy

they did it a while ago. It might be under the AOT tag

Kimmer

I’m back…. The dude in the center got buffed!

Valde

You guys should watch One Punch Man

Nobel - Karlsefni

BRIG & Mckay, did yall watch og naruto in sub or dub?

haley!

highly agree :)

Aliyah

Ugh when did you guys do all the attack on titan ones???

Linn

Would have been nice to watch the intros with you guys but to much transparency made the animation barely visible and then the logotype covered the rest. Unfortunate considering how much I was looking forward to this all year…

ssj4rit

One of the best manga ever, the Netflix adaptation is disappointing by comparison but it’s the best adaptation we got ig

C2-H5-OH

Paradox by Survive said the Prophet is top tier for me. The full song just as dope as the intro

Mason Schutz

McKay, thanks for the reply man! It’s 100% okay if you wait of course. In the end, I’m glad you all enjoyed the shows that you watched at least! What most reactors do if they are that scared of watching openings is wait until the arc is complete and then watch it. It’s still a win-win. And being honest, some people join your guys Patreon to experience all parts of the their favorite show with you guys. That means the openings and endings too, not just the episode itself. The thought of them waiting potentially a year just to see you watch an OP or ED can be a bit unfulfilling. For example, people have been waiting months for you to watch the Fullmetal Alchemist openings (of what you seen) and you didn’t even watch those. Would that mean they would have to wait until December 2024 for your next OP reaction? You don’t have to have all the answers now, of course! Ha ha! But I do think it’s worth considering when it comes to your audience in general.

McKay Carter

I mean maybe there’s a better way to avoid them like watching the openings at the end of an arc, but this is something Carter and Cannon wanted to do to avoid spoilers and so we are just rolling with it. At the end of the day i don’t feel like it’s that big of a deal, but I do appreciate the feedback because it helps us make better reactions, thank you!

Sami Casingal

I love when openings are iconic and recognizable. For me, visuals play a small part as long as the art is decent but it’s mainly the song that makes it or breaks it for me

Tessa Ward

Watching them watch jojos and all of its unhinged glory would be my ideal Saturday 😂

Brittany Mitchell

My suggestions for you guys are Haikyuu and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! 😅 I'm not sure how either would go over honestly but I'm sure it would be a cool journey 😎

ryan

i think the first and 2nd season have really good pacing and fights but the 3rd slowed down a bit but was still entertaining

Andy Larkin

its too slow imo.

ryan

yeah man it's in my number 4 spot it's so good

Reed Stevens

Great show, Ippo is an inspiration

Tessa Ward

I love the way they talk about the shows and just articulate it. I would love to see them do that to a show like Alice.

celery

ik u don’t and prolly wouldn’t watch banana fish (i would die if i did) u should watch the ops and eds they’re so good and you’d prolly like the songs too

ryan

Studio Gek, you guys should try watching Hajime no Ippo. Its a boxing anime, the animation, comedy, characters are peak I think you guys would enjoy it.

HikiFan

Great suggestion actually!

Tessa Ward

Bro they should so watch Alice in borderland

Linn

I loved the intro for Heavenly Delusion (and the show). Also just started Trigun and I really like its intro too.

Lenny Wikberg V

There are new AOT openings for both the final specials. You guys should of done those

Faris Alamin

There are a lot of movie references in the Chainsaw Man intro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RenzSSCZSZQ).

MissJodles

I think watching them at the end of the season/segment is a great idea, that way it’s best of both worlds! No spoilers, but all the hype and vibes of being in the moment while watching

Brig Andrus

Holy that is unreal! Thx for sharing

Brig Andrus

I will never not watch an intro😂. But the boys like to wait so why not just let em wait!

Sheru

There was a new AOT Opening for the last episode, you guys missed that.

bearuber

yeah waiting till theres not much spoliers is better honestly instead of waiting a year tho in my case i never overanalyze the opening and just vibing with the visuals and song because I like how the opening hypes up the start of an episode. the junpei one caught me off guard tho HAHAAH i was look "cool a new future character" then that episode happened

A

I personally don’t really watch OP’s. If I do I just pay attention to the song and slightly glance at the screen here and there. I like not knowing anything and being surprised so that’s why I’m an anime only kind of gal. Even with new characters coming in I just would rather go in completely blind 🤷🏾‍♀️ I think I do this because I basically stopped watching any movie trailers or read tv/movie synopsis a few years ago.

A

It’s not that serious….

A

The disrespect on River omg 😭

Tiga

Death note ops and eds are underrated

Tiga

I hope they watch the altered You are my special openings for JJK like when they snuck in Yuta for the final ep OP 😂

izzy

Hmm i wonder if they’re gonna wait and react to all the fmab intros separately after finishing the show

szeth

Other reaction channels will just wait a few eps before watching spoiler heavy ops, until theres no more spoilers and it works good imo. The trailer point is pretty good tho i cant lie some of those trailers they watched have more spoilers than some of these ops lol

kiiturii

Carters death note op2 take is BASED it's one of my fav ops all time

szeth

Yeah idk if they realized their demon slayer rankings were huge hot takes

ABC

You guys should react to popular openings for shows you won't watch for at least a year (that way you would forget all the spoilers by then).

ABC

Need all the CSM endings

Arnobio

ED8 clears

Saki

Glanced back here and saw some of the comments and oughta say I lk agree with all points really,,I noticed several people mention about how seeing them all outta context like this does feel like it kills the vibe a bit but also several comments mentioning potential spoilers and such (personally I also kinda agree with the idea that they're there to build hype and set the tone and stuff + the context is what really gives them life but I also see the whole reaction channel standpoint of it like the commenter szeths edit above mentions) So I was wondering if yall might consider the option of just waiting to watch the intros/ endings on the last episode containing them before it switches to a new one/ the anime ends? I feel like that would keep more of the vibe alive then while also avoiding spoilers while viewing and then still leave room for if yall actually still wanted to rank em all at the end of the year

szeth

Oh another thing from comments about all the spoilers maybe it's worse for people who can't just not look into it a ton but I kinda just turn off the part of the brain that is looking for clues and just vibe and find I rarely if ever catch spoilers Edit: Nevermind I realize watching it with a group, especially as a reaction channel where people want u to react, wouldn't work so I understand not wanting to for the spoiler aspect for the intros that do, not all spoil necessarily

szeth

Imo the outros hold so much more weight when watching the relevant content for me and is part of why they are so hype. I hear them and it reminds me of what happens that arc cuz I hear it before each episode and that connection is there. Idk if I'd have it if I only listened to a song once at the end of the year. Ofc do what you want it's your channel

KazumaSpitfire

SSTP did the first OP and second ED for Banana Fish, second OP was by Blue Encount and first ED was King Gnu

Goatchis

They more often than not spoil though, like rumbling

Ale

Yes!!! Actually it was my most played song on 2023 haha I knew them with Banana fish, really good songs for that Anime too

Broski McBrosef

SO EXCITED FOR THIS

Nonos

Chainsaw man opening is gas one of the best songs and visuals to me.

Kyosuke Kagami

JJK openings 1, 2, and 3 are so good, never liked 4 though... it sounds so out of place, like some kind of modern American pop music

farkzzy

chan

farkzzy

omgggg elias chab

Lily

Will you do ending too?

Kyosuke Kagami

can you please just watch new intros and outros as they happen, during their respective series? it completely kills the feeling seeing them out of context like this

Mason Schutz

McKay, It’s just weird where you guys draw the line. For example, when you watched the 3 Solo Leveling trailers, the JJK Shibuya trailer (that had the OP song and actual anime footage), and the AOT final trailer, did that not give you leading information about what the show(s) were going to be about? If you were that worried about ruining the story for yourself by watching an OP, I’d assume you keep away from things like trailers too. Especially since those even have dialogue. At the end of the day it’s your choice of course.

nans

The full length version of Paradox is so so so good!! Survive said the Prophet also did the first OP and second ED for Banana Fish which are also amazing

kiiturii

let's goo been waiting for this, I'm such a fiend for anime op's I'd prob rate everything as a 10/10

Nonos

Didn’t watch the vid yet but Jjk hidden inventory op as a song is way better than you are special to me. Might be my hot take but both are good 😂

McKay Carter

We really would love to watch them all, but to ensure the best reactions we just avoid them until the end. We don’t love skipping them because some of them are so good but there really can be leading information in them and I think it’s better to just wait.

Mason Schutz

Asbjørn, I will say that I agree with it being their decision on whether or not they want to ignore all of the openings until months later where it no longer has meaning. And I was excited to see how they would do it. But to see how the only thing that they did over and over was just talk about the spoilers they found over and over and then say “you see, this is why I will never watch anime openings. Look at all these spoilers!” Or “WHY WOULD THEY SHOW THAT?” Or “Seriously? I can’t believe they would add that.” It just ruins the experience now that you know what revolves around those moments shown.

Asbjørn Kennedy

While it is true that spoilers without context are sometimes not really spoilers, that isn’t always the case. And while I do think OPs more often than not add a ton to the watching experience from creating hype or setting the mood, and I personally would like for the Geks to see them, I think even moreso that the decision lies with themselves. At the very least try to be respectful

Ada

next time you do the rating videos i think it would be more easy to follow if you guys do one person's whole tierlist at a time + put it on screen, its easier to forget how yall ranked it when you do it in circle

Ale

Man this was worth the waiting As everything in life, music is very subjective to each other taste, but I agree that Vinland openings are amazing ♥️ I even listen to some of them everyday, Survived said the prophet became my most listened artist in 2023 lol I hope we get the same for endings, there're some amazing songs!!

ssj4rit

The GI visuals are my fave one, Ging looks so cool lol

Starkfern

Hxh has the same intro song but the endings are all great, I hope you do a video for hxh endings when you finish the show

Emily

Agree 😂

Emily

Where was fullmental alchemist??

Fauget Remedy

so i guess the reaction was about the song, not the overall intro but sure I get it.

Kite

they probably did but didn't show it cuz it's the same song

Fauget Remedy

why didn't they react until greed island opening of hxh while they reacted to the rest of other animes?

Joydan Bri’an

jjk s1 2nd op and s2 1st op are my favs. demon slayer s1 op is a classic but my fav would be the s2 op.

Thuy aka EroSennin

lmao ending it with a naruto song. love it.

Cannon Andrus

🤦🏻‍♂️

Kite

are we getting endings too in another video? 👀

Philbo

So they need both of those and the SiM music videos lol wooo for more AOT Content

Silvana Salinas

I don’t think they did. They need Under the tree, Itterashai ( ED), and the opening of the last episode.

kai

i need specialz played at my funeral

Valde

Endings would be nice

ssj4rit

You guys should have your own opening and Jack is the protagonist

Fong Train

DoroHedoro would be a fun show for them.

Mia Malvik

First vinland op on top ofc

Mia Malvik

Justice for jjk second opening. Song is so fire

Fe

hxh ops are essentially the same song but different animations each time, so I hope you guys will react to both ops & eds after finishing the show.

Seth Aasland

jjk’s 3rd opening perfectly captures the feeling of summer 2023 for me

Hector Garcia

yeppp

BipolarKitten

Hope you guys rate songs from movie too. Like "Sparkle" and "Dream lantern" from Your name. Both songs are bangers.

Mason Schutz

Of course you know what spoils what now because now you know what you are looking at lmfao. You have the full context of the show dudes. Why do people act like they would know the full scope of a story just by seeing a 1 second sequence. It’s so weird… Edit: I’ll admit that I am taking this more personally than I probably should be since my wife is an animator and also creative director and I know how it irks her to know that people skip things that so many people spend literal months making. Even if it’s 1 minute and 30 seconds, months go into making things like this. Sure, you watch it later but you watch it once the mystery is gone and you have the full picture. There are no more surprises for you when you watch it at the end. There are no Easter eggs. There’s just visuals for a story that you now completely know.

Savannah Rodriguez

Loved this!! Can’t wait to see what openings we have next time!

Philbo

I don’t recall if they watched the last OP and ED for the ending of AOT cause they dropped those separately

MYZEN

I really enjoyed this video. I want your ending reaction too. I'm looking forward to your reactions in 2024😃

Ninjinzo

damnnn no fmab?

bondbond53

Where are the FMAB openings?

bondbond53

JJK OP2>OP1

Ramennn

Waiting for endings. HxH endings are great <3

Audreyldo

Are u going to watch the endings too ?

Audreyldo

Vinland saga are my favorites. They are all so good damn i listen them every day My hot take is that i hate the second one of death note, that’s the first time i don’t agree with Carter hahah

Lusanagi17

Not that I really mind but why are the ops obstructed even though we're on patreon lol

Nazerke K

Waiting for endings🙏🏻🙏🏻

MeekikZIN

Have you guys seen the op&ed of The Attack on titan final chapter yet?

MissJodles

https://youtu.be/ow0eoZJ1QvA?si=lLPdLNxOFzkir7Fx https://youtu.be/RenzSSCZSZQ?si=ZVSQP8iQwm6ny1Ko These videos showcase all of the film/TV/art references in the opening!

Asbjørn Kennedy

My 1st would be either CSM or Vinland S2 part 1. The Vinland one consistently gives me chills at the part where the hands reach up to grab Thorfinn (plus I love the song). CSM I think is one of the most visually and audible interesting ones, and I heard it on repeat for weeks when I first got to know it. Honorable mention goes out to all the Vinland and JJK openings though, especially JJK1 and Hidden Inventory.

MissJodles

I suggested this too, Gurenge was definitely rated lower than I would have hoped 🤣

Elaine

I recommend him too. Especially dramaturgy. That song is so good!

MissJodles

Also not sure if this is super convoluted (probably is) but would love if you guys gave ratings separately for the music, the visuals/animation, and maybe something like the "vibe"/how well the opening captures the spirit of the show or season, as well as overall rating. Just a possible suggestion, I know it probably over-complicates things 🤣 I know you guys aren’t as big fans of Demon Slayer compared to the other shows, and the opening visuals aren’t anything too crazy, but I was surprised how low you all rated the S1 opening when Gurenge by LiSA is considered one of the best anime songs of all time! Definitely check out her performance of Gurenge on The First Take on YouTube, it has 135 million views for a reason, her voice is INCREDIBLE!

ED7>>>

Hi Jag 😂

SoClose

Nothing’s beating ED 3

Pressure

btw the first csm intro yall watched the scene where the dude is crawling up on the table is from the office if i remember correctly

SoClose

Ranking of Kings OP 2 > Heavenly Delusions > Vinland s2 OP 1 Y’all can argue the rest, but thems are top 3 Edit : Scratch that, Super Crooks OP bodies everything

nans

this video was totally worth the wait :) also brig, since you love the song you should check out the live version of ‘you are my special’ ! so good https://youtu.be/qdrmxQ-R7rw?si=38kswGmOzKmDVCys

tomatosoup

Rankings for endings would be great too, especially for Chainsaw Man since it has 12 of them

MissJodles

Yayyyy, anime OPs are genuinely such a huge part of the enjoyment for me! So many intros and songs take me straight back to a memory of watching, love this kind of content from you guys!
