I'm warming upto second seasons score, though i'd easily prefer it if Yoko Kanno was working on this. It's not even like this series is completely different from the first that they needed a composer that would work along side it, because Kanno has composed for a large collection of different genres.
I'm just guessing that she didn't want to the job.

I'm kind of disappointed in the opening by Stereopony in the same way I was disappointed in their opening for Gundam 00 Second Season. Their music is just too lacking in power and honestly I think belongs as an ending theme. The opening sequence also looks like it belongs in the place of an ending theme. It's not that their music is bad or anything, it's just misused IMO. The ending proper however is Abingdon Boy's School greatness as usual. This time they bring us a ballad akin to the style they used for the Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 intro. It's really cool to see a Japanese band with such a variance in style because it doesn't happen terribly often. They're like the polar opposite of Ali Project.
Since I can't find the videos on youtube I'll just link to Random Curiousity who has them up |

I always found DtB's OPs and EDs average.
Though I did favor season 1's songs alittle more, except the second ending with the beach. I dunno, it seems like this season's OP/ED are just lacking. I enjoy the imagery but the music just doesn't hit the spot for me. Maybe it'll grow on me in the matter of time.... |

@Kaioshin Sama:
Absolutely agree. The opening is lacking power and something special. So it sounds more like song for the ending. Really, nothing against the song (though this mainstream pop), but it is just not fitting for me. It sounds much too light, too happy. |

I saw the PV of the OP on youtube just a while ago.
I gotta say, though it's kinda ED material, listening to it over and over again kinda makes it grows on you, and I like it. Now to wait for ABS's full music, and listen to it. |

It's a good OP don't get me wrong, and it suits this show nicely, though i can't even begin to compare it with the two awesome ones we had in the first season.

I was hoping this song was going to be on it as well as the tune used when Hei shoots an arrow with cable up the elevator and when he fights in episode 1 Would be awesome if the unreleased songs would be on the next soundtrack for this series, but I'm not expecting that to happen |
