What an unusual theme song this intro has. Everything about it, the rhythmic structure and melody, it all sounds kind of discordant, which is obviously intended. I cant say I liked the song, but it certainly helps make the intro stand out.

Thats not to say the intro doesnt have its unique aspects aside from the song. Most notably, that unsettling scene with the close-up of all the mouths is pretty far out there. But many portions of the intro are still just a series of clips, which prevents the Unique score from going higher.

Also, I probably sound like a broken record saying this by now, but the fact that so much of this intro is clips of characters with no significance to those who havent seen the show really hurt the Story score. Normally, I would be tempted to score an intro higher in Story if its at least got some unique aspects that create a sense of atmosphere. But the tone in this intro is all over the place, without a cohesive vision that gives me a sense for what the show is about.

And as for my low personal score, the intro just left me with a bad taste in my mouth between the gross mouth scene, the theme song, and the WTF moment of those women fawning on the giant skeleton while giggling.
