OP
3. Anagram -
Sailor Moon Opening -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5txHGxJRwtQ" data-time="


Score: 90/100

If you know me at all this score will probably surprise you. This opening almost rivals the amount of nostalgia that I get from the Pokemon opening but it basically does everything else better. The video and song are both top notch in my opinion and something I appreciate is that the song is actually quite similar to the Japanese opening. To be honest I think that the English version is quite a bit better than the Japanese (Please don't kill me). This song is so damn catchy that I would literally always play the song on an ITG2 Machine that was near the University (ITG is basically DDR but you could put songs/stepfiles on a memory card and play them). Thankfully the ITG2 machine was near the back of the arcade so not many people saw me dancing to the Sailor Moon opening LOL.

Anyways, this opening does a ton of things right and its use of moments from the anime are actually perfect. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of Openings and Endings using moments from the anime itself because I think it's a cheap cop out but Sailor Moon's opening uses them perfectly. While I really like the whole song, my favorite sequence is probably 0:52 - 1:13. I get chills during this part quite often because of how great it is. I'm not even a big fan of Sailor Moon at all, I think it's just pretty alright (Artemis is the best), but I can definitely say this ALMOST made my top 10 openings.

Flip Flappers - Ending Theme

Score: 72/100

This one I can separate into three parts. The beginning which is just pretty nice and the video is quite nice as well. Then you have 0:33 which is by FAR the best part of the song, I love the oboe used to lead into this part. It's got a kind of creepy feel to it which I love and the vocals are perfect here. But then you get to the third part where its FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP and I honestly don't really care too much for it. It's just too happy and bouncy for me now. It's not THAT bad but after the really cool part at 0:33 it's just kind of a huge let down. If more of the song was like the 2nd part, I could see this breaking into the 80s definitely.
