Off-key
Recently Astro counted down his picks for the best anime openings. Yesterday Steven discussed what an opening needs to do and surveys a number of examples, good and bad. Shingu may indeed have the worst opening ever, but I can think of a couple of alternative picks. NieA_7’s isn’t bad — if you have the sound off. (In compensation, the ending is charming.) Mushishi’s is nowhere near as obnoxious, but it’s dull, with an annoying song1 and abstract, yet bland, imagery, and it tells you nothing about the show.
- This may be excessively harsh, but I’ve heard far too many singer/guitarists with thin voices over the years. [↩]

Love Hina opening. I remember looking at my boss while we were watching the demo tape and asking, “what the HELL happened to the audio on this thing?” It sounds like somebody took a passable song and then tortured the mixing equipment to death on it…
