And with that 2011 has been entirely defeated. Definitely a good year for openings, but none quite made the top 20 for me. Some of the honorable mentions for this year were the Mirai Nikki Openings... well particularly the second one by Faylan, I actually hate the first one. The first Natsume and Book of Friends was also pretty good, and there was another One Piece opening that was beaten out by one that's further up the list in Fight Together by Namie Amuro. Matyrshoka by Nico Touches the Walls and Authentic Symphony by ChouCho are also worthy of honorable mention.

The song is beautiful, I have no idea what this anime is about, and the opening only makes me think it's about some girl who won't leave her room. But also there's a dude with a gun fetish and everyone else is like, yeah cool you do that buddy? I dunno, I think I may be reading too much into it. In any case, this opening had me instantly hooked, the first thirty seconds are just really beautiful with the use of color and styles, it really gave a sort of fairy tale in modern times sort of feel. The action was really strong as well, from the scene with the guy desperately running down the stairs, avoiding the crowd all the way to the point where they opened the door to the girl's room and she's crying happy tears... it's just done really really well, and barely makes it out of a really strong year of openings.
