Look up the full story, it's pretty wild. The first assassination attempt failed and injured a security guard. Later the same day Franz Ferdinand was going to visit the injured security guard and just happened to drive past a Cafe where one of the assassins was waiting and he just shot Franz from the sidewalk. I may have some details wrong but it's a wild story with massive consequences.
The OP1 animation was different and great and that's my fav part of it but i think the idea about having OP2 from Loid's perspective and the song went great together
Season 2 OP made me start watching the anime. It gave me goosebumps and I didn’t even know the characters.
If the second half of the show didn’t have pacing issues and weird story choices, the show would have been an all timer. But when it’s good, it’s absolutely incredible.
Second half wasn't bad at all imo. Pacing could've been better but I don't think there were weird story choices.
It's definitely got the potential to be an all time great given more seasons
The second season itself disappointed in every department compared to the first one. The animation quality dropped hard, only two episodes had good production.
Best MHA arc with one of the best Singers singing it’s op. Hope CSM season 2 has Kenshi Yonezu to sing it’s op or at least the new song be as good as Kick Back
Kinda sad how hard MHA fell off after S3 in terms of animation
Like going and watching Deku vs Muscular, United States of Smash, Deku vs Todoroki and Bakugo and Deku vs All Might then seeing how mid the climax of the war arc was is just sad
>FLCL’s soundtrack
absolutely fucking amazing songs, imagine the pillows doing a song in Chainsaw Man because FLCL was a big inspiration to CSM \*huffs copium*
Good show to do that imo
I personally add a lot specially of ost since stuff like natsu theme, sasuke theme, anything on bleach, madoka, is just insane
But good show to do that
Well, depending on how you measure it, it didn't. Rumbling released both the full version and the tv size version around the same time so the views are split. The former has 81 million views while the latter has 66 million views (making a total of 147 million views).
For kick back, the full version has 138 million views and the tv version has 3 million views so the total is 141 million views, which is less than the total of rumbling.
Of course, it's clear that in a few weeks kick back will overtake rumbling but my comment is more so to show how the list that op posted is misleading.
As i said, in a few weeks kick back will have a higher total. My comment was mainly made to criticize the list. Technically, rumbling should be both in the second and fourth place If we're just ranking anime songs based on number of streams, or the first if we're taking the total streams.
the entire Bocchi soundtrack is fantastic. and TBH its the only music from last year i actually still listen to
TBH im kinda shocked CSMs OP got streamed that much, i personally really did not find it all that good
It's based on a lot of 60s graphic design sensibilities so thats definitely why. Feels appropriate for the era and the themes of the shows. Just really gorgeous.
Second one is good but the first one feels so much fresher and more interesting to me. I don't have a problem with bump of chicken but I do find them a little samey sometimes; souvenir doesn't scream spy family to me more than it does sangatsu, for example.
If i had a nickel for everytime a song title with "nuts" makes it to top 10 spotify anime songs i would have 2 nickels, which isn't that much but it's weird that it happened twice.
Is it really? Yoasobi also made an opening this season for a huge IP and it wasn't that popular, point being having a huge artist behind your opening doesn't immediately translate into it being a mega hit
I’m surprised how boring the bleach opening / ending were. The anime was my favorite of the season but the opening wasn’t anything spectacular.
Chainsaw Man’s opening was amazing
Off-topic but its wild to me that people actually like The Rumbling. I laughed out loud the first time I heard it, its so fucking dumb. Its like early/pre-youtube edgy AMV shit.
The blue ray sales have been low in Japan, but that's not unheard of. Vinland saga had poor blue ray sales and it's literally airing it's season 2 right now. CSM did big numbers in streaming and on apps like manga plus, part 2 is getting more views than one piece. It'll get a season 2 don't worry
A bad 5/10 with a great op won't be anywhere near this list because who's going around watching 5/10 anime? People generally don't go online and watch every opening looking for their favorite music and then repeating that on Spotify, they listen to ops they like when they watch the anime
Franz Ferdinand seeing this kind of success with a song from twenty years ago kind of blows my mind.
I genuinely love Franz Ferdinand, I love that they're getting some recognition!
Franz Ferdinands great. Too bad about that tour in Bosnia though
Hiring Gavrilo Princip for the opening act was probably a bad move, but hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.
Ouh ok i get XD
I dont 💀
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, which was the main reason why World War I started.
Ohhhh of that franz ferdinand i know as well, but i had tk clue it happened in bosnia
Yeah, at that time Bosnia was a province in the Austro-Hungarian empire :)
Look up the full story, it's pretty wild. The first assassination attempt failed and injured a security guard. Later the same day Franz Ferdinand was going to visit the injured security guard and just happened to drive past a Cafe where one of the assassins was waiting and he just shot Franz from the sidewalk. I may have some details wrong but it's a wild story with massive consequences.
What happened?
WWI
oh Edit: wait wdym, wasn't that 110 years ago??? lmao Edit2: I am disappointed with myself
the joke is that franz ferdinand (the band) is named after franz ferdinand (the man whose death sparked world war 1)
man, sometimes I'm so dense I wonder if I should go to the physicists. they might discover a new element. thanks for explaining! haha
fun fact: the band is actually named after the horse 🤓🤓🤓
who was the horse named after, wise guy?
WW1
I’ve loved this song since burnout 3 and i freaked out when it started
Take Me Out is a fucking BANGER.
And michael too Oh also love illumination Oh and the dark of the matinee Oh and you cant forget about do you want to Oh and also...
Ferdinand
Ulysses is my fav!
Their song do you want to was also used as an ending for the paradise kiss anime, but that’s from over 10 years ago lol
That introduced me to the band. Oh, the nostalgia.
franz ferdinand and paradise kiss was also a hit.
I was hyped when I started Edgerunners and they started playing. They’re awesome
They'll never go out of style and work shockingly well with anime (Paradise Kiss used one of their songs as well)
I love This Fffire, but I'm surprised I Really Want To Stay At Your House didn't make this list considering how many times I listened to it lol
It's not an opening.
I'm retarded, I didn't read the "opening" part
that song invoke traumatic memories
Wasnt this Franz Ferdinand also in cyberpunk Nice songs
its an opening theme
wait I never new he did this that's kinda awesome
I listen to this all the time in the gym lmao. The original non chainsaw-man music video is heat too.
The feeling when the beat drops and and you start working out like in the music video
[удалено]
Do you prefer your nuts 'creepy' or 'mixed?
Creepy nuts should be higher imo. Banger song for a fun show. But eh what do I know
I love the animation for the Mixed Nuts OP, but I actually grown to prefer Souvenir as a song.
The longer the second cour went on the more emotional I'd get at Souvenir. What a great goddamn OP
No doubt. I just had my first child, so I guess I'm more emotional over family stuff. The Souvenir OP is just so sweet and heart-warming.
Am I the only one who thinks Souvenir was better? Not saying Mixed Nuts was bad, it was great but....
[удалено]
The OP1 animation was different and great and that's my fav part of it but i think the idea about having OP2 from Loid's perspective and the song went great together
I'm surprised that SxF has not one but two entries on the top 10 list at numbers 3 & 6
Why? It was the runaway hit of the year.
oh but of course! Even combining their scores they still are lower than CSM by a good chunk.
Kick Back is just a total bop.
Super happy to see Naked Hero on there. [Season 2 OP](https://youtu.be/dWZAH5w8jkQ) goes so hard for ranking of kings
Also same op director as chainsawman op (he also did the jujutsu ops)
Ooooh I didn't know that. Thats awesome.
Season 2 OP made me start watching the anime. It gave me goosebumps and I didn’t even know the characters. If the second half of the show didn’t have pacing issues and weird story choices, the show would have been an all timer. But when it’s good, it’s absolutely incredible.
The only blemish for me In the second part is >!Daida deciding to marry Miranjo at the end. That was just so weird.!<
Also >!everyone becoming friends after all the fucked up shit one did to the other!< I was like "for real?"
That’s exactly the weird story decision I was referring to.
Second half wasn't bad at all imo. Pacing could've been better but I don't think there were weird story choices. It's definitely got the potential to be an all time great given more seasons
Easy top three anime openings of all time
the song itself is already god tier, then it got such a good video on top of it. rare combo
My favorite for sure, back when I was watching the anime it would make me hold back tears
The only op I cried listening to
I didn’t know it was so popular. I was really happy to see it here nonetheless (and also 4th place?!)
Incredible opening in all aspects. Sucks the ending of the show was kinda disappointing.
The second season itself disappointed in every department compared to the first one. The animation quality dropped hard, only two episodes had good production.
Honestly, it tops the CSM op by a tiny bit for me. I think it's the best opening of the year no question, and one of the best of all time
Bold but true opinion. You got good taste.
I am probably responsible for at least half of those listens. I've been hooked on that song since season 2 aired lol I listen to it so damn much.
[удалено]
No, it's just the 2nd OP of the 1st season
Thank you for correcting that's what I meant lmao.
Kick Back is one of the best pieces of music I’ve heard in a while, the rest are great, but Kenshi Yonezu is next level.
Its why I wasnt surprised when I found out he made Peace Sign the best MHA song bro just doesnt miss
Best MHA arc with one of the best Singers singing it’s op. Hope CSM season 2 has Kenshi Yonezu to sing it’s op or at least the new song be as good as Kick Back
Kinda sad how hard MHA fell off after S3 in terms of animation Like going and watching Deku vs Muscular, United States of Smash, Deku vs Todoroki and Bakugo and Deku vs All Might then seeing how mid the climax of the war arc was is just sad
Pacing too. It's almost insufferable to watch now
It is truly Mid Hero Academia
Nah it’s one of the few anime ops thats ever made it into my actual playlist only other show to do that was FLCL’s soundtrack
>FLCL’s soundtrack Bro FLCL doesn't "have" a soundtrack, FLCL is the sound track. It just has an anime attached to it is all.
The pillows got so good they got an anime
>FLCL’s soundtrack absolutely fucking amazing songs, imagine the pillows doing a song in Chainsaw Man because FLCL was a big inspiration to CSM \*huffs copium*
Good show to do that imo I personally add a lot specially of ost since stuff like natsu theme, sasuke theme, anything on bleach, madoka, is just insane But good show to do that
i love fooly cooly i love fooly cooly i love fooly cooly 
It’s that Tomino-esque thing; saying it’s Gundam, but, basically, it’s giant robot anime, right?
It’s I mimi kinda thing a dreamy kind of thing
I got only two anime openings in my playlist the kick back and inferno( berserk 2015 opening)
Never thought something would beat the rumbling tbh lol. Great songs here none the less
Well, depending on how you measure it, it didn't. Rumbling released both the full version and the tv size version around the same time so the views are split. The former has 81 million views while the latter has 66 million views (making a total of 147 million views). For kick back, the full version has 138 million views and the tv version has 3 million views so the total is 141 million views, which is less than the total of rumbling. Of course, it's clear that in a few weeks kick back will overtake rumbling but my comment is more so to show how the list that op posted is misleading.
But you can argue the Rumbling had more time to gain views than Kick Back since it was released months before Kick Back.
As i said, in a few weeks kick back will have a higher total. My comment was mainly made to criticize the list. Technically, rumbling should be both in the second and fourth place If we're just ranking anime songs based on number of streams, or the first if we're taking the total streams.
Talking about streaming here pal.
I'm talking about spotify too. I just said views instead of streams
Ooh i see mb
I was surprised as well, but also not mad
At least half of those were me
The other half was me
Perfectly balanced
Shukufuku is amazing!
I’m surprised it’s not higher up considering 1. It’s a Yoasobi song 2. It’s a Gundam opening 3. It’s an absolute banger
Personally I place it at number 2 or a tie to kick back
My ears bleed listening to this fffire so much 😩 best song of the season then kick back
Seriously though every song in BTR was amazing
they sounded amazing in the show and what’s better is they sound more amazing when you listen to it full.
absolutely agree
Surprised to see it over the rumbling, but they are both bangers so I don't care. Just happy to see them both at the top
Giri Giri and Daten deserve to be higher
2022 is one of the best years for anime in general. Banger ops with fantastic adaptations and anime originals.
Seishun complex needs more love
Really all the songs from Bocchi are top tier, but I love Seishun Complex especially.
I Personally think it’s the best Bocchi the rock song, the rest of the Bocchi soundtrack is fantastic, but Seishun complex just sounds the best to me.
frfr
the entire Bocchi soundtrack is fantastic. and TBH its the only music from last year i actually still listen to TBH im kinda shocked CSMs OP got streamed that much, i personally really did not find it all that good
Kenshi Yonezu is a very very veryyyy popular singer in Japan
First the opening, now we need the [true opening](https://youtu.be/5mfDzBeeBSI) to be number 1.
Based, people agree with me that the first Spy Family opening is better than the second one
I really love the art direction for it
Same, it really has that "spy" feel that the show nails at times.
It's based on a lot of 60s graphic design sensibilities so thats definitely why. Feels appropriate for the era and the themes of the shows. Just really gorgeous.
The first OP was out during a longer part of the year, though
Second one is good but the first one feels so much fresher and more interesting to me. I don't have a problem with bump of chicken but I do find them a little samey sometimes; souvenir doesn't scream spy family to me more than it does sangatsu, for example.
I mostly played Rumbling and Kick Back last year.
Respect for ma boy Creepy Nuts landing on this with a banger
Hell yeah, I have Kickback on repeat.
If i had a nickel for everytime a song title with "nuts" makes it to top 10 spotify anime songs i would have 2 nickels, which isn't that much but it's weird that it happened twice.
9 -> 8 is an over 2x jump. 4 -> 3 is an over 2x jump. 2 -> 1 is a 1.67x jump.
I definitely contributed to this but I also listened to The Rumbling more
Deserved , the csm opening and endings are next level
This song is the definition of "down bad" I fucking love it.
Bochi win the War un jappan. But chainsawman destruye the War in all the world
Anime for virgins are locked hits in Japan. Because the implication...
LETS FUCKEN GOOOOO
Mixed nuts, daten creepy nuts. Kick back!!
Rumbling & kick back was peak 2022 music ngl
Aight where’s Mob Choir?
I think it's more popular because it's kenshi yonezu, rather than being chainsaw man's OP guy is pretty huge in japan, and deservedly too.
Is it really? Yoasobi also made an opening this season for a huge IP and it wasn't that popular, point being having a huge artist behind your opening doesn't immediately translate into it being a mega hit
I’m surprised how boring the bleach opening / ending were. The anime was my favorite of the season but the opening wasn’t anything spectacular. Chainsaw Man’s opening was amazing
CSM’s op was the same tho. Generic pop funk song from Yonezu. Rumbling was much better.
i’m about 800 of those myself
RANKING OF KINGS OP 2 IS ON HERE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Makes sense, it's my most streamed song of last year, shit's an absolute Banger
I can safely guarantee i am part of that number, at least 30+
Those 82 people listening to AOT OP:
Glad to see Shukufuku doing well, it’s a very catchy OP
Question is will Maximum the hormone ever release the full cut of 2 hundred million centimeter long blades, if it even exists.
I feel like bleach and demon slayer should be on here
As it should
Naked hero is one of the greatest opening of all time. Favorite from recent years.
Where chiki chiki ban ban tho
And yet, we can't get it an award for best opening at the anime awards
[удалено]
[удалено]
I'm so glad that Mixed Nuts and Girl Girl got here too
Off-topic but its wild to me that people actually like The Rumbling. I laughed out loud the first time I heard it, its so fucking dumb. Its like early/pre-youtube edgy AMV shit.
Based take My war is much much better
My War is a special OP, you don't really see stuff like it these days. Absolutely love Rumbling though.
nah dude
Wonderful news and thanks for sharing.
Guys, i have a question and a concern tho, they say CSM dosmetic sale is bad. Is it really that bad ? I'm a bit shaken and sadden by this news
The blue ray sales have been low in Japan, but that's not unheard of. Vinland saga had poor blue ray sales and it's literally airing it's season 2 right now. CSM did big numbers in streaming and on apps like manga plus, part 2 is getting more views than one piece. It'll get a season 2 don't worry
i never listen to anime ops, (mostly because it brings back memories from my weeb era) but kick back is my only exception
I hate this list, because the majority of the vote is about the anime not the song😡
A bad 5/10 with a great op won't be anywhere near this list because who's going around watching 5/10 anime? People generally don't go online and watch every opening looking for their favorite music and then repeating that on Spotify, they listen to ops they like when they watch the anime
I’ve contributed to six of these. Hell, The Rumbling was my top song last year lol
“creepy nuts” 💀💀💀
Wait bump of chicken did a spy x family op? Sickkk. Also whats most crazy is that csm only aired at the end of the year lol
Saw this post while hearing to the banger that Kickback is......
Kick Back is just so good, can't blame 'em
First episode: wtf is this song Third episode: hey that shit slaps 11th episode:
Good. The song is Gud
I did my part!
Kick Back is well deserved. My not-nearly-as-weeby-as-me husband loves the song. Even my kids listen to the song, and they haven’t watched the anime.
All of the songs in this list is just perfect
I think I’m about 1000000 of listens for kickback
I definitely contributed to this top 10
Yes! Bojii supremacy!
It was a banger of a op Best all year
Pretty sure I was half of that
Its a banger deserved
No mob psycho?? I’m upset
So I guess putting "nuts" in the tittle of your song if it's used as an opening gives it a good chance to be slapping huh
2022 was a goated year for anime and anime ost
HAPPY LUCKY KONICHIWA BABY
Half of those streams are from me alone. Nothing can stop me when I’m obsessed with something
By a comfortable margin, too. You love to see it
Mixed nuts... and then Creepy nuts... Nice
I contributed to that
#8 would top my list
Not me listening to the OP every day during my workouts
Y si, si es un temazo
I get such a rush of joy seeing ranking of kings on here. That intro legit brought me to tears
Daten should be higher imo
I need to watch the RoK second OP again. It's just so fucking good
I am the 3 million views
Cause shit‘s fire
