DangerMouse Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Red Swan by Yoshiki feat. HYDE Goddamn that animation is GORGEOUS. Just like S2, this season is probably gonna look incredible on the animation front. Having not read the manga at all, all I know is that this arc is apparently supposed to be more subdued than the rest so I guess the music choice kind of makes a lot of sense. I could see us also (hopefully) getting a new Linked Horizon hype-style one for the second OP of the season if that gets us to the next arc, which supposedly gets very big and bombastic again, since we're going two cours (24 eps) again this time so there should be two OPs like season 1. Fun fact: It's also at least got HYDE singing who we've heard on Adult Swim several times now in one of the original FMA's OPs and one of the Blood+ OPs, and also Moribito's similarly pretty subdued OP. Less than a month to go till August 18th and the premiere on Toonami! Edit: New link to the Opening added.

OwlChemist81 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Wow, this is definitely a departure from the first 3 OPs in the series! But judging from the first episode, which I saw in a theater, it seems it goes in a VERY different direction! Funny thing is, I don't remember seeing this OP in the theater, but the animation is INDEED gorgeous! I wonder how Toonami will cut it after Season 1--or IF they even will. Then again, JoJo needs its full ED (Savage Garden!!) every week so I doubt they won't. Only Dragon Ball Super gets it full OP which only adds an extra 2 lines of the song. Here's hoping this season gets a great timeslot on Toonami. I'm thinking 11 PM! Season 2 seemed late at 12:30, but they had to play it after Jack and 2 Dragon Balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenoftheDorks Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 X Japan and L'Arc-en-Ciel is so 90s and I love it so much. Literally the only thing that could make it better is if T.M Revolution were somehow involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sweet, so you got to see the theater premiere? Very cool. Yeah, I just saw the first ep, I really liked it a lot. The different kind of tension was palpable and I was hooked. Really can't wait to see it with the dub cast. Yeah, Toonami really should play the whole OP at least the first ep, it helps set the tone. Same, I hope it gets a top slot really early in the block. Another thing hopefully in its favor toward it getting a top slot I think, in addition to it being the hot property that is AoT, is that it's going to be 24 eps this year, similar to the 25 in season 1, so it'll be able to have a sizable run of premieres. And it's only been a year since season 2 unlike the long wait between season 1 and 2, so I think season 2's events are still fresh with Toonami viewers.

The1gairon Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm probably gonna save watching this until Toonami gets it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I watched the first ep, which was great just because I couldn't resist and might watch the second, but then I'm going to wait since I'd rather watch with the dub and since Toonami's already announced the date so it's not like I don't know when it's coming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks I added a new youtube link to the opening in the OP just in case anyone's not seen it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
