And so 2018 hits the dirt after dominating most of the list. There were a few other songs to make honorable mention, but most have been covered by the list proper. 2018 had the best Shokugeki Opening in my opinion with Symbol by Luck Life. The Grand Blue opening was a pretty fun song, but just not up to the same level as the rest of the list, and the last honorable mention I have is Nostalgic Rainfall by Chico and Honey Works for After the Rain, which was one the very last cuts I ended up making, because cuts are fricking difficult.

Kimi No Sei is an absolute earworm, but this opening is so much more than that. The shots are cut incredibly well, there is a great mix of action and character establishing shots, and just a lot of things I absolutely love about it. The scene of MC running at the very beginning is constrasted by the traffic to make it seem like he isn't moving at all, and then you get a cut to a close up shot of him running and you can see he's just going full bore, throwing caution to the wind and driving himself to exhaustion. It was really clever and something that impressed me on multiple watch throughs. I'm sure there's more symbolism and stuff thrown in there, but all in all, this opening is both technically impressive, and one you can just listen to over and over again. Kimi no Sei, Kimi No Sei, Uwuuuu.
