#THANKS CRAB THIS WAS SO FUN I LOVE GOING THROUGH MY OST PLAYLIST

[frogiwi]

HELLO AGAIN TOP 5 ANIME OPS AND EDS FROM YOU AS WELL PLEASE

HELLO CRAB thanks to scrolling through my OST playlist and messaging what i'd include as i went, this shouldn't require as much thought now LOL

extremely long so proceed under the readmore!

OPs:

re:re: by asian kung-fu generation - erased

i mean. this op ruined my life. erased was such a beautiful show that took me on a journey i wasn't expecting and it's my favorite time travel related story ever. i was so moved by it and i was devastated when the op changed because of [spoilers]. the show has a crazy ending but it was thrilling and parts of it were the most anxious i can recall an anime ever making me. what a gift honestly this op makes me tear up whenever i hear it

2. bloody stream by coda - jojo part 2 ed

OK so i was torn between this, sono chi no kioku, and fighting gold, but ultimately this won bc part 2 is my favorite of the three and i love and miss the cgi openings so much so fighting gold's visuals got disqualified. i fucking LOVE this op i linked the version with the extra sound effects but the visuals are all just so fun and i love joseph and caesar so much and coda is brilliant and this song is just a fucking party and FUCK YEAH

3. cry baby by offical hige dandism - tokyo revengers op 1

oh my god i almost forgot to put this one in. i had bnha op 2 peace sign in this list at first and then i was like I FORGOR. anyways cry baby is an incredible fucking op that was part of why i got hooked to tokyo revengers. i have a lot of complicated feelings about this series but overall it still means a lot to me and has been the most involved i've been in a fandom, and it is definitely special to me even after everything. i think this song has a wonderful energy to it that gives me such a strong impression of takemichi and toman and the whole theme of fighting on for a brighter future and the visuals are simple but extremely effective and beautiful. they do a great job at portraying takemichi's struggles. i love u crybaby hero. i love this song dearly

4. hikari are by burnout syndromes - haikyuu op 5 (shiratorizawa arc)

this one is here for a lot of reasons. this arc is one of my favorite parts of haikyuu because of what it means for karasuno to win and go to nationals, but also for my fav character tsukki to finally have his Moment where he gets hooked on volleyball by being able to block ushijima,,, AND the shot of ushijima pushing hinata and tsukki down when the karasuno senpais daichi, asahi, and tanaka come to their rescue and support them to push ushijima back.... there's just so much significance to this season AND in terms of this op itself, the song is so beautiful and the visual where hinata jumps and turns into the crow diving makes me tear up every time (and did again when i rewatched it for this kgjsdg) and i just. i really love it a lot

5. jikai yokoku by tatsuya kitani - sentai daishikkaku

i too am going to include this bc omfg what a fucking banger of a song and the visuals are incredible. both the lyrics and the visuals convey the repeating cycle fighter d is in and his struggle to break free and fight back and i LOVE the parts of the song sung in children's voices because it ties even more into the sentai theme and the words themselves are JUST. ITS SO GOOD WATCH SENTAI DAISHIKKAKU IM SO GLAD I SUCCUMBED TO CRAB'S PROPAGANDA

EDs:

first death by tk from ling tosite sigure - chainsaw man ed 8

this ending ruined my fucking life. ok so i read chainsaw man over a year before the anime aired and like it was good but it was confusing and so i didn't think about it much after that. BUT THE ANIME DID SUCH AN INCREDIBLE JOB i suddenly cared about it so much. the effort that was put into creating a different ed for each episode is remarkable and they're literally all incredible songs with incredible animation and i truly would put all of them on this list. but first death wins because episode 8 ruined me and then this ed singlehandedly made me fall in love with himeno and akihime. i suddenly saw the beauty and tragedy in their relationship and codependency and i was enamored by how the last few episodes of the anime felt like a love letter to himeno. she deserves it. ed 9 (deep down by aimer) is also beloved but this one makes me crazy. seeing aki and himeno at the gravesite where they met, and sharing a smoke, and fighting together perfectly coordinated, and aki at the gravesite alone after her death.... it's so cinematic and a story on it's own and it's just so lovely. i think the song is also very csm and the energy of it is unmatched

2. el canto del colibri by mabanua - megalobox op 2

i was pretty torn as to whether to put the first op, kakatte koi yo by NakamuraEmi, or this one, but i ultimately went with this one because it is a true reflection of the core of this series and i think it being in spanish is a great bridge to the characters of season 2 (it is amazing to watch something where brown characters aren't of an ambiguous minority race; the culture is deeply intrinsic to the themes of this season and it's so special). i don't want to get too in detail and spoil anything but i went into megalobox expecting a regular sports anime and got out of it so much more than that, and it truly touched me. i listen to the entire ost by mabanua often, and it comforts me a lot.

3. datte atashi no hero by LiSA - bnha ed 3

ok this one is just the best bnha ending ever and the official bakudeku anthem of all time, and the fantasy au being animated will NEVER be forgotten. this song is such a joy to listen to and it being about deku's feelings toward bakugou is truly amazing. i love all the details in the visuals and i would love to see more eds like this honestly where the characters are just put into a little AU. it's just really good!!!

4. hunting for your dream by galneryus - hxh ed 2 (yorknew arc)

ok i had to find a version of this with the lead in during the last few moments of the episode bc that was always badass. anyways yorknew arc changed me and i became a deranged beast about chrollo and chrollopika for months. hands down my favorite part of hxh, and i just love the energy of this ed. there is nothing really special about the visuals but i still rly love when it goes through all the phantom troupe members and mostly i am just fond of the memories of this time

5. future fish by style five - free ed 2

dammit ok i put the first ed splash free here at first but i rewatched them both and changed my mind. i watched free rly late compared to like everyone else (2019 i think???) but oh my god i would put every ed on here LOL especially this one and splash free. i love the outfits and "story" of splash free but this one is even MORE fun with all the different profession outfits and the guys just being sillygoofy and oh my god its so cute i miss them so much I NEED TO REWATCH FREE RIGHT NOW

(i have to give honorary number 6 to hyori ittai by yuzu (hxh ed 5) because even tho chimera ant arc was difficult to get through at times, i love this song a lot and the visuals of the gungi pieces especially with gon and killua fuck me up. the ending of this arc with meruem and komugi destroyed me and i cried like a fucking baby)

[one-piece-aus]

Hello! I just found your blog and I'm looking forward to your content.

I've been itching to ask the question: what genres of music (or what present day musicians) do you think the Stawhats or members of the Supernova trio would listen to? I feel like this might be a tricky question though. I don't mind if you pick and choose who to answer for. Thanks for considering.

I love this question because I love music! You do not understand how happy I am to get this question!

Music Genres/Artists the Strawhats Listen to (Headcanons)

Luffy

In my post → here I had two songs that fit Luffy

The music he listens to is upbeat or ones that give good vibes so it's quite the mixture of genres

He won't remember artists, he'll just hear a song come on and say "Oh I know this song"

When he listens to music he wants to have a fun time and be able to smile

So songs like Staying Alive or Can't Hold Us

Totally would listen to We Are The Champions

You are deeply mistaken if you think he won't listen to Macarena and Cha Cha Slide, he will play that every time someone is playing music

Caramelldancing

I think Luffy would go to rave concerts, just having a good time being himself

And yes, he does listen to Sandstorm, Crab Rave, and Popcorn

Zoro

Eminem, that's the first artist that came to mind when I thought of Zoro, mainly because of the song I'm Not Afraid

He mainly listens to workout remixes since the dude lifts weight a lot

When he's not working out, he prefers music he can just nod his head to

Like Never Going Back or Burn The House Down

Doesn't like anything heavy/hardcore, it's too much for him

He's fine listening to pop if one of his friends is playing it

Secretly has a guilty pleasure of listening to Lady Gaga but no one will ever find out

Oh, this is a new genre I found but Zoro would listen to Lofi Hip Hop

Nami

Pop & Hip Hop are this girl's main genres

"It's Britney, bitch"

She listens to Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Iggy Azalea-

Not a fan of Taylor Swift but she likes the song "Look What You Made Me Do"

This girl listens to The Pussycat Dolls (yes that is an actual girl band if you didn't know)

Also listens to the girl band Little Mix

Songs that just make her feel like badass bitch

Hidden secret but she likes the band KISS

When sitting down to work on creating maps she'll have study music playing in the background

Usopp

Cats In The Cradle

I just- go listen to it, you'll understand why it's here

Usopp's taste is a lot like Luffy only he also can have songs that can make you cry or get you in the feels: Viva La Vida, Hey There Delilah

He listens to a lot of oldies

Guns & Roses, Queen, The Beetles, Nickelback, Elvis

You can't tell me he wouldn't sing Can't Help Falling In Love to Kaya

Absolutely would listen to the Black Eyed Peas & Maroon 5

Also would listens to Geometry Dash OST

Sanji

Is a complete sucker for love songs

Doesn't matter if it's by a male or female

You name it he has it

Payphone, Counting Stars, E.T., We Found Love, Cake By The Ocean, Mr. Saxobeat, Bad Romance, Made For Lovin' You

Also a big fan of Elvis Presley

Likes to vibe to the song Hound Dog

Sanji would be into smooth jazz

And dinner music

Anything classy Sanji will listen to

Don't forget he listens to songs from Equestria Girls thanks to Chimney

Chopper

Minecraft Parodies and MLP songs because it is kid-friendly for Chopper

He also will vibe with anything Luffy and Usopp listen to

Is not allowed to listen to anything Nami has in her playlist

Will listen to therapeutic music for animals

Robin

Another one who loves classic music

Really, any kind of classical music

From ones you hear in fancy restaurants to background ost you hear in horror shit to sad rainy day melodies

The violin and piano are truly amazing instruments

Robin prefers music without the lyrics because the rhythm of it has a story to tell and you can feel the emotion the musician is trying to express through their instrument

Franky

Franky loves funky music, and ones you can jam out to in the car

Memorized Life is a Highway and We Didn't Start The Fire

Disco, Rock, Electronic, and Metal are Franky's favourite genres

Definitely listens Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, KISS, Guns & Roses, Elvis, and AC/DC

He is the one that introduced Usopp to the great oldies

Certain alternative and grunge bands he can listen to like Foo Fighters, The Offspring, and Nirvana

Brook

The King of Music

He is the Soul King

This skeleton listens to anything and considers anything to be music

You know that video someone made of using mayonnaise as an instrument? That is on Brook's playlist (here's the link if you want to listen to it)

He loves all music and accepts all music

Is the friend you go to if you need the name of an artist or song, he's an encyclopedia for music

Will not judge you for your taste in music and will be the only friend you can count on to jam out to any song with you

Jinbei

I for some reason can visualize him listening to the band SIAMÉS (specifically their album Home)

Mainly because they make good vibe music

Which is what Jinbei would listen to

Vibe music

Aquatic or sea like music

Would join Zoro in listening to Lofi Hip-Hop music

When it comes to lyrics, he wants it clean, made with real emotion, and be able to understand what the words are

This took longer than I expected to finish but it was worth it! I am 1000% making a part 2 for the Supernovas so stay tuned, and thank you for sending in the request
