I love both the OP and ED. OP is a catchy tune with a visually stimulating dance routine reminiscent of the best KyoAni has to offer. The ED sounds melancholic and bittersweet, but beautiful at the same time. It reminds of Melody of Oblivion's ED.

I love the OP. It's so bouncy and fun. I love the animation i the OP too And I wanna learn that little dance routine Nagi does x)

[rainnydaiis]

The OP is quite interesting. The beat to it made me addicted to it for a couple of days non stop. Also the lyrics to it was awesome. Especially the chorus part where everything is plain or simple.

Gotta love the part where shes in the dance studio dancing.

The special Nagi cover of the OP single, which will be released quite soon. (This upcoming Wednesday, at least in Japan time)

[Utau]

OP/ED set aside, another piece that interests me is the BGM we've heard used in their PV and one of the episode.

[Westlo]

Yeah I really like the PV bgm music, was used in episode 2 when Nagi asked if they could keep the kittens as well as episode 3 when Jin goes to school. Looking forward to hearing the full versions of the OP and ED very soon.

[Ottocycle]

Yep, the BGM. We have Kousaki Satoru again this season, who, again had done Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star. If I remember correctly there was something about him having done Virtua Fighter 5 as well.

His Haruhi score was pretty darned good, underlining the scenes well, yet still being subtle. He wasn't as good IMHO in L*S, but still a functional score I guess.

In no way has Kannagi's score been outstanding as yet, but I'll be keeping a lookout. There has been flashes of his old style already so far. Not to mention that he wrote that insanely awesome OP/ED.

Looking forward to that... might just see if I can pre-order it.

[serenade_beta]

Full OP was pretty good and catchy. Compared to the other dancing OP, a lot more listen-able song-wise and visually. Not the type of song I would constantly listen to the full of though...

Main anticipation is the ED!

Inspiration for the OP:

Got the info from @wiki: http://www19.atwiki.jp/kamnagi/?page=Q%26A

[Miko Miko]

I LOVE the opening and the ending, there both really great songs. I love the dance in the opening!!

[yjs]

OP is out! I'm so used to the TV edit version, the full version sounds a little weird. Nevertheless, it's still an excellent poppy song.

[Shiroth]

Full OP is pretty good, though i always found that the tv size did the job. Still it's a pretty damn good listen.

[ChoRyuJin]

The Costume of Nagi on the OP Single is also more or less the same as Nakayama-san's.

[Vexx]

The interesting thing about that youtube clip is
1) its live... not lip-synch'd. Yay for the "old days".
2) She's pretty clearly nervous. I wonder if this was her first "big time" appearance.
3) The hosts appear to ba a rather oddball manzai pair.

[bkg9990]

Woot! OP is now released!




And here's the PV =( it sucks though xD
They should made Haruka do the same dance though.

[Cinocard]

Japanese Pv have never been cool *Sigh* Even with the most emotional song, i would feel funny everytime i listen to it after watching the Pv.

There's only one word to say about Kannagi Op: sticky It has been stucked in my head for about 2 week now, and i don't know when will it leave

Oh, about the lyrics, there's a part near the end about something like: "liking a person even though he/she has grown taller." I wonder if that actually has something to do with the plot?

[bkg9990]

Haha me too! its actually on loop on my music player

Only in that I assume the goddess Nagi was fond of Jin as a child (though her current earthly incarnation doesn't remember that it seems) --- that's what the prologue scene in episode one of kid Jin catching Impurities was about. He only vaguely remembers it himself. Now, of course, he's much taller and older.
