But, but, no Zeppelin. That was my favorite part.

Thank you for sharing this! This was absolutely my favourite thing on the Internets today.

It doesn't show anybody plunging into a dark body of water, it doesn't show hands reaching to grasp one another, and it doesn't show several cast members jumping happily and then spending a portion of the intro in freefall. Not an anime intro. Next.

There's also no shots of the main character walking by themselves side-scroller style on the screen. Though maybe that's saved for the credits.

Ah, yes. 45 seconds longer than I thought it should be, like every anime intro I’ve seen. Well done.

If only they'd snuck in a wee clip of Hulkbuster armor to satisfy the giant robot checkbox.

The end credits are the cover to "Immigrant Song" on piano. Or upbeat techno while showing a slideshow of fake Instagram photos. Either would acceptable!

This made me have a stupid grin on my face for the entire time while I was watching it.

I watch a lot of anime on Crunchy. This is entirely accurate as a representation of what this would be like if it was an anime intro. I'm here for this 100%!

The grasping hands under water thing is more of a shoujo trope than a shonen one, isn't it? You're absolutely right about the jumping part, though.

Cowboy Bebop, Mob Psycho, One Punch Man, Trigun, Bride of the Ancient Magus, Paranoia Agent, Megalobox... we'll sit through the opening credits of those every time.

The uniform happy-hardcore techno in the service of bland-pop anime opening is... ah... well, we fast forward through most openers on Crunchy for a reason. If it's your thing and it makes you happy, I ain't one to judge, but as for myself? Yeeeeesh.

ok so I used this search and found anime openings for other movies. this is a thing! you could also basically search "[name of thing] anime opening" for many things.

i've watched so many now that they've all blended into one giant anime with the same theme songs. but i liked these:

Infinity War
Doctor Strange
Tangled
Star Wars Episodes VII & VIII
Frozen (there are two, this one is better)
Steven Universe (there's a better one with scenes from season 5 which is super spoilery)

and just to round out everything: 2018 World Cup, with both an opening and an ending, in original art

ok I'm not done, there's also... Seinfeld

last and least, the actual Iron Man anime opening

I thought this was gonna be the Eva parody one. This one rules though, the tilted, colorshifted shots near the middle killed me.

I remember watching that Iron Man anime (and the Wolverine one). I sorta hope Batman Ninja doesn't disappoint. Why do I get the feeling I'm going all AMV catching up this weekend?
posted by zengargoyle at 11:09 PM on July 20, 2018


oh I just realized I never linked to the better Steven Universe anime opening. it's basically for season 5, and I guess it's not actually spoilery, but there're giant hints in there.
