Paranoia Agent's opening doesn't get enough love.

In fact, the show doesn't get enough love nowadays.

Shoutout to GameFAQs for complaining about my original link having the *** slur in it.

The thing I always disliked about anime openings is that the animation is of a far superior quality than the actual show. Is that still a thing?

The only openings I'd sit through always are aot s4pt1+2, initial d 4th stage, OPM s1 and new logh. I'd run through once for a new to me show then probably skip the next episodes. I do recall Vinland saga s1 having a banger 1st op tho

I skip them because I don't care about them the vast majority of the time, and even the ones I like, I don't want to watch every time when I'm marathoning a show.

I'll usually watch an opening and ending at least once. After that it just becomes a huge time sink, especially if you binge anime from time to time.

I'll watch any opening once. Main reasons I'll skip an opening are either because I simply didn't like it, or because I'm hyped to see the actual episode and don't want to wait.

When I actually watch anime (or any kinda 20-30 minute episodic series), I like to set aside a free day or two to binge through a ton of eps. Watch every new intro once is the rule, unless I get off on the music.

eg:

Why is this being portrayed as an anime thing.

Anyone who skips the opening of a tv show, ever, is a terrible person. Even if they're binging 20 episodes. You have to watch the opening every single time.

Some of the ending songs in dragon ball super cracked me up with how poorly timed they were. Had the episode where future Bulma gets killed by Goku black and trunks is screaming then all of a sudden it's like "one two three I'm hungry, thinking about fried rice fantasies".

I don't like watching anime openings only because they seem to show off characters that haven't even been shown in the show yet.

If I do watch it it tends to be after a few episodes of actually getting into it

I skip them because they often contain spoilers in them. Characters that haven't been introduced yet, main character fighting against a villain they haven't encountered yet or using abilities they haven't learned yet. Most anime assume that their audience has already read the manga, which is often the case in Japan.

You're supposed to close your eyes while the song is playing and imagine yourself as the main character.

I enjoy it so far, but I was never a huge mega fan of the original one (which I watched ages ago on Adult Swim), but it's good. The sub is on Hulu which is where I've been watching it but haven't progressed past the third episode. Vash and crew are finally heading out from the first town so hopefully it gets a bit more like the original. Like I said, the third episode has some extreme violence that seems a bit out of place for a Trigun show, but overall I am enjoying it!
