Not since “Shijun no Zankoku” (The Purest Cruelty), the ED for the yuri series Venus Versus Virus, has Yousei Teikoku moved me this much with a song. Admittedly I have not listened to more of their singles or albums than I would have wanted since then either, but “one” is definitely on the same level, perhaps even higher, than Shijun no Zankoku was, as a song.

So I’ve decided to cover every single OP/ED this season and provide some first impressions.  I will be doing the impressions in parts because new shows come in waves.  It also makes posts more manageable.  Impressions are in relative chronological order from when the show was aired.

For each OP/ED I will post a screenshot (if available) and provide a YouTube link for viewing, along with my impressions. I apologize for the picture quality, since it will vary from blurry to crystal clear.  This turned out be more time consuming than I expected, but I always find it fun to look through OP/EDs, even of shows I’m not watching.

And how late I am with this post. I am well aware that the fall season has actually already started even as this gets written up, but whatever. Here are the thoughts of the 4 authors of this blog on the fall season shows…most of which are sequels, lolwut? Image is titled “Herald of Glory” and it is either from a game or an artist called Fana.

3D Yoko by Kanzeon…if that was his nickname.

As I write this post, Groups A and B have finished and the results have been surprising, and some, not the least to say, extremely upsetting and disappointing. But whatever, it looks like I might be revising some predictions for the rest of the groups based on what has happened so far. Here goes Group F.

And we come to Group C of the Saimoe 2009 tournament. From now on I am using the unofficial site to link to the Saimoe tournament, if you want to know what Saimoe is, visit the Wiki article. Now, on to the predictions.
