The Only Anime Opening Anyone Needs Ever
I have a love/hate relationship with anime. It comes from me spending five years working on Anime Insider magazine. The “love” part is obvious, as I have an anime tattoo and count Urusei Yatsura and FLCL among my favorite TV shows ever. The “hate” stems from having to watch a lot of crap during my tenure as editor. That means I often appreciate it when anime gets called out. Which is why this video made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Footage from 93 different series intros was used, which should give non-anime fans an indication how brilliant this thing is. You can see the full list here. Thanks to Norad93 for the tip. (Via Japanator)
