Itazura na Kiss - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “Kimi, Meguru, Boku” by Hata Motohiro

For some strange reason the opening theme reminds me a bit of Honey & Clover style of music, well more specifically Suneohair. Though it does go well with the overall theme of the series, which is a romance comedy.

xxxHOLiC Kei - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “NOBODY KNOWS” by Suga Shikao

The style of the opening theme I really like especially when it hits the chorus. Very upbeat and catchy and I probably prefer this than the opening theme from the first season.

Allison to Lillia - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “Tameiki no Hashi” by Kuricorder Quartet and Yukawa Shione

With the OP sequence mainly containing a lot of flying scenes, it goes well with the symphonic sounds of the opening theme itself. Very nice and soothing but gives feeling of a journey that is to be unfolded.

Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi” by KOKIA

Having listened to the OP the first time, I didn’t like it as much as I thought the OP to the first season had more impact. But listening to it a second time it’s actually growing on me. It’s gradual progression with the OP sequence goes well with what is portrayed in the OP sequence.

Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “Hizamazuku Made 5 Byo Dake!” by Hashimoto Miyuki

The OP itself wasn’t anything too exciting as it felt rather simple. Same with the OP sequence.

ARIA The Origination - 01

OP: “Spirale” by Makino Yui

I’m so glad that Makino Yui has returned to perform the OP theme for this third season of ARIA. Just like the last two seasons, the OP plays through as the anime continues on. The OP theme itself feels different to Undine and Euforia, but it brings about that feeling that this is a new season.

Minami-ke Okawari - 01

Opening Sequence:

OP: “Kokoro no Tsubasa” by Satou Rina, Inoue Marina, & Chihara Minori

The OP theme had certainly taken me by surprise as the first season was more upbeat and catchy, where this time it felt quite down to earth which this series is not. But it works similar to Genshiken 2’s OP in which it brings something rather unexpected, but awesome.
