With the visuals, people get too hung up on it being CGI, rather than how the CGI actually looks. Especially when it's isolated in strictly the OP. The entire OP is CGI and it's done in a very stylized way. Meanwhile, the anime itself is mostly 2D, EVEN the kaiju, which is extremely impressive. So yeah, OP is probably my favorite of the season. I'm half Japanese, and I'm so fine with the artist chosen. Sure, I would have PREFERRED a Japanese artist, but it's still a fire song that we got here.

My theory is the OP represents Kafka, and ED represents his girl Mina Ashiro. She is internally screaming her head off in support of him. By the way I'm jokingly looking to deep into it.

I'm like you. I like the OP. Also the whiny babies complaining about the OP are self-centered little brats who never experienced hardships.

I can absolutely believe that Joe is smarter than all those young guys. I mean, he's probably forgotten more than they have ever learned. That counts for something.

The 0.01% was indeed kinda over the top. Should've given him anything between 0.1 to 1%, all of those would've been fine.

Yeah lol, my point was never to compare which show was made where, from what studio and what it is. Just talkin about the vibe of the op.

Even though I really enjoy this anime, I somehow think that Kafka was written a bit too pathetic. It's not just that he's not as talented as the others and is already in his early 30s, but according to the examiner, he's also the first one with 0% power usage. When he has his "moment" at the end of the episode, he only manages to reach 0.01% ... at that point I thought the author portrayed Kafka a bit too patheticly. At least that's my opinion at the end of episode 3.
Well, let's see what happens in the next one.

We have the same taste of music joe, i also like the op, but i also like upbeat and road trip songs like the ed, i like both of them. For the op visuals i grew up watching DC, Marvel and other western movies so this is so cool for me, reminds me of iron man. Just so you know i did not grow up in western countries, English is my 2nd language i grew up in southeast Asia.

the opening is heat. i never liked yungblud but he went off on this song. the cgi is obviously a stylistic choice and it looks so phenomenally surreal and beautiful. plus kafka’s kaiju form at the end of the op is so badass

I agree on you with the opening, ending is also good. Its just buncha cry babies that if u check out their top 10 op/ed list you gonna see some slideshow with characters running and generic singing...
Is the animation/cgi god tier? - NO, Does it spoil the entire cast of the show and whats gonna happen - NO. Could they have gone all out on animation for it like some of the chainsaw man ED - YES, did they need to - NO
Its just a vibe op kinda like Cyberpunk, arcane - more western style.
People are quick to compare it to the biggest bangers that make it on top of the Spotify lists, but forget that we get like 20+ generic anime songs with most anime every season, that you dont even skip the song, you skip the anime XD
