22. Illuminate - Minami - Tales of Zestiria the X OP 2
2017 (1/6)
Winter 2017 (1/2)
https://animethemes.moe/video/TalesOfZestiriaS2-OP1.webm

I only had 6 songs from 2017 qualify, but they did make a pretty strong showing despite that. It also means I have a few honorable mentions that didn't quite make the list. I covered a lot of them from the fall season already, but there were a couple of others worth mentioning in passing. The Knights and Magic OP by Fhana (Hello! My World!), the second OP of Dragon Ball Super (Genkai Toppa X Survivor by Kiyoshi Hikawa), and the Princess Principal OP (Other Side of the Wall by Void_Chords ft. Maru) all had strong consideration to be on this list as well.

Tales of Zestiria should have probably just been an anime sequel to Tales of Berseria. The game wasn't very good, but the anime did a lot better job filling in the things that really needed to be expanded upon, including drawing those parallels to Berseria. Both of the openings were really strong, but I liked this one better for two reasons. The first being I liked the song a good deal more, the second was the choice of shots they used. The pace may have been slower than the first opening, but like, the Bayhem cut of Sorey standing up, glancing at Mikleo before moving forward at the end is really well done, Alisha giving the order to attack, Sorey reading the historical record, and it cutting to Velvet after zooming into his eyes... there's a lot of things I love about this OP.
