I don't know what happened but as soon as I heard the OP and ED on youtube I was hook-line-and sinker. My friend who actually has japanese as a langauge in school thinks I'm nuts coz I memorized the whole thing in 20 mins. What I appreciate about it are the graphics that go with it. Some of the other animes their songs are good but don't match up with the graphics.

I listened these songs, it's too bad...

I will miss Nightmare...

I was listening to the Death Note Theme and found that they're acctually singing 'Dies Irae' but to different music. I know because I've done that song in chorus twice. Very cool.

ThisIsDream · 2007-02-16, 17:16

What's up people
Zetsubou Billy
These 2 songs are definitely not fit Death note : (

Storm-and-Fire · 2007-02-20, 06:15

The new opening definitely does not fit Death Note. I can catch some random English here and there (sucker and the f-word) but other than that... nothing. Is it just my idea or are they really using sucky second opening themes? However, compared to this, Kaidoku Funou sounds like the best lullaby ever on earth. O_O (j/k, but I think you got the point...)

Well, watch the actual animation.
Yeah, the song by itself, it doesn't look like metal would fit Death Note....
but ZOMG the new OP is downright AWESOME!

The RAWS will probably be out sometime today, so hang on tight.... it's one of the best anime OP I've seen in a while

7Th · 2007-02-27, 16:53

THE OPENING IS AWESOME AWESOME. MtH is a joke nu-metal japanese band and I expected no less from their DN opening. They're actually bad music that's pretty fun to listen nevertheless. THIS IS MADE OF WIN.

OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj40QXrJzCg
ED: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkvvOlyrD7M

Truely epic OP. The songs themselves are very mediocre, even though I love heavy- music. The songs are so experimental to the point where they need to shoot themselves in the foot for coming up with such ideas and song structures.

aohige · 2007-02-27, 19:19

Song structures? Experimental?
You sound like this is orchestra or something.

It's just as chaotic as any death metal, and it should.

Besides, Maximum the Hormone isn't a noob band or anything man.
They've done songs for Air Master (Ending) and Akagi (Ending as well).
They also do songs for non-anime shows, mostly variety shows.

Flame-X · 2007-02-27, 22:13

that new opening is too... random heavy thrasher.

they should've put Nightmare's new song, Criminal Baby, instead since the song style and title fits the series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebDTdph4Nk

OMG_Zerg_Rush · 2007-02-27, 22:17

Just saw the new opening, like most of you guys i don't like the song but the animation is one of the best ive seen in a long time (loved the dancing Ryuk part).

I loved the Akagi ED. It's just that MtH tries too hard IMO. Some parts of the song were alright, but most of it sounds horrible, even for a guy who can stand stuff like Alexisonfire and In Flames.

I'm going to crack my ribs every Tuesday for the next 18 weeks now...

andromeda0201 · 2007-02-28, 05:04

The ending wasn't that bad though, at least some music could still be heard....
And I find this opening much more fitting to the animation sequence than the 2nd Code Geass opening

Kusaja · 2007-02-28, 18:13

Insane describes both of them quite exactly.

I'll have to find out what the heck the lyrics are supposed to be and so on, but IMHO they will never come close to matching the original OP and ED, at least for me. The animation is great though.

The original two songs fit Death Note's theme much better than this, though I guess that the new OP and ED will make more sense with time for those who are new to the story. The content itself in these two new OP/ED sequences is already a bit surprising, without saying anything else here.

I don't know...but that's really too subjective and off--topic anyways. To each his/her own.

Encarta64 · 2007-02-28, 21:39

I never really post here, but this op was so funny that I felt I had too. The screencap posted has made my day.

the.Merines · 2007-03-01, 08:24

My opinion seems to fall in line with most people here... Music, not a fan; animation, excellent. It seems like the staff said, "We need some new music, but the series is so popular.... Meh, just do whatever."

veilrap · 2007-03-01, 17:08

Ack it makes my ears commit suicide.
Nice eye candy tho.

juggen · 2007-03-02, 10:51

The animations for the new OP & ED are awesome!
I'm not a fan of the OP-song though..... too fucked up!
But the ED-song is really great imo.

And I don't think theres anything special with the first OP & ED, at least not the Opening, its boring. The ED is much better.

The new Nightware song was good, better than the new OP but not the new ED.

Mueti · 2007-03-02, 10:59

I like the new OP, the music is not one of those standard songs usually used for openings and it somehow really fits.
Together with the great animation it adds up to something very impressive.

zalem · 2007-03-02, 13:15

They were smoking somthing when they created that opening. lol. I can't say I like the song, but the opening is certainly very amusing. The ending song is actually kind of growing on me, which is kind of surprising cause that's not my kind of music.

All and all, I prefer the first OP/ED and will miss them. It's wasn't just that the music fit, but that the actual lyrics were just so well suited to Death Note. Almost as if they were written for it (though I know they weren't). Not sure about the lyrics of these new songs. But the new OP certainly cracked me up.
