Man I got the email notification saying "WHAT IS NUMBER 1???" I thought he was reacting to the Bleach OST and rushed to watch. This is still good though.

Shaft makes some amazing openings, a lot my top10 is filled with OP's from this studio.

You should definitely react to the Zombieland Saga openings

Elexis

Are other Studio edition OPs or something similar planned?

yuzu hibiki

I'm someone that usually don't give much notice to studio when i watch anime, so i'm really surprise to see how many of the shows that i like watching was from Mappa. Hajime ippo, Garo & Shingeki no bahamut. I only heard mad house all the time back then so didn't take note of the rest other than toei & pierot which is notorious for fillers.

Keni

Luke you should react to kakegurui sometime lmaoo

David Stowe

My wife is pissed the yuri on ice opening was so low. Side note, rage of bahamut genesis is amazing.

KimGoldEyes

This must have been made before Hell's Paradise, because that opening theme should *absolutely* be on this list.

MIce1987

I pick Eve over SIM, there I said it! I do love SIM, but Eve is just amazing!

MrFlakey

personally my top 3: 1- kick back 2- jjk op1 3- rumbling

BRUNO Marques

Shingeki no Bahamut is a great anime. Based on a gacha game it got a monstrous budget but suffered in the last few episodes (rushed and cygames, the gacha company, intervened with production). The sequel virgin soul is enjoyable. Idaten (number 5) is very very good. Unfortunately, the source materiel seems to have been abandoned and the anime caught up to it. Very odd that they would bother to make such a great adaptation to a dead incomplete series.

BlekDimon

As for my top3 of Mappa would be: 1. Dororo op1 2. Rumbling 3. Idaten op1 But unfortunetly they are still not really my taste and none of them would make my top20 openings of all time, maybe one of these would slip in top30, but it's hard to tell since I never really thought about my top openings, I just know what my top1 is.

Orieng

Sounded like you enjoyed God of Highschool opening ;) it is very epic! nr 29

Siffzigeuner

I think I mentioned it a few times before. Here on the list it was 3 times. Highly recommend to check out "Rage of Bahamut" openings/endings. (2 openings by SiM) For Zombie Land Sage I am pretty sure you didnt do it yet. But I guess the songs have Holo Live versions, so maybe you heard it there.

ElectricAnt

No idea why people like Rumbling, it's so damn cringy. Easily the worst Sim song I've heard

Konrad Sosin

You should do A1-Picrutes version. They aren't the most consistent studio in anime quality, but they have the most bangers by far (SAO, Love is War, 86 etc...)

Taiga

In general i don't find SiM's song and good, they could use a better vocalist, tbh. Rumbling is pretty decent song (i'd put it in the top 5 of this video), but the full version is worse, because of the electronic reggae part. Not even gonna start on the recent song from the Movie, it's the worst AoT song.

FaerieRose

My top MAPPA song and OP is the one from Sakamichi no Apollon, which you kept dissing. Clearly our taste in music is different, lol. Of course, Apollon is a sentimental favorite of mine. It’s also a really good music anime that I think you’d enjoy.🎶

kloos

Terror in resonance Is a perfect show to react

Sai

Funny enough, I don't even like that type of music and even I liked Rumbling. Maybe the visuals help for me.

Sai

8:02 - I SEE IPPO! I hope that will be Luke's first sports anime (that or Keijo)

Gavin Wong

i recommend terror in resonance(zankyou not terror) u just saw at 47, its really good

Toasterfinal5

I know it's on your "to watch" list. Vinland Saga gets my vote for "MAPPA" anime's, though season one was animated by WIT Studios.

kemplar285

Idaten OP is top tier

Wolfe980

btw the 22nd OP sacrifice is actually sung by some guy in his 30s

Wolfe980

its called an opinion and many people tend to have those, usually everyone in fact

Valts

Idaten Deities is awesome!

BattleCanyon

One of the reasons Sakamichi no Apollon is really good is because of the composer Yoko Kanno who created music for Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, the Macross series, and Wolf's Rain. The jazz in Sakamichi no Apollon is really good. She is absolutely skilled at Jazz even though she said she didn't like jazz anymore back in 2008 lmao.

jehipi3

i totally reccomend the god of highschool anime which you considered "that one sounded awesome" :)

Reennji

My top 5 would be: - Chainsaw Man (Kick Back) - Jujutsu Kaisen (Kaikaikitan) - Inuyashiki (My Hero) - Heion Sedai no Idaten-Tachi (Seija no Koushin) - Dororo (Kaen) *Edited because I accidentally pressed Enter xD

Nate Ming

Did they literally give Hajime no Ippo half the time of everybody else

Henshinvolt

Kids on the slope which got number two on this list is great. It's the type I would recommend to some people that have not watched Anime.

Yūgen

I fkn love the first Dororo opening

Anonymous

Seeing how Luke reacts to boobs in these openings, I don't think he would survive a Highschool DxD watchalong LOL

Hawk of Battle

Guess we're adding another to the list; Godzilla: Singular Point Sakugan: Labyrinth Marker Record of Ragnarok (1 + 2) Deca-Dence Akudama Drive Cross Ange (1 + 2) The Dungeon of Black Company Worlds Finest Assassin... Astra: Lost in Space Revenger Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Erased Ajin: Demi Human (1 + 2) Gargantua on the Verdurous Planet Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (1 + 2) Scarlet Nexus (1 + 2) Tales of Zestiria the X (1 + 2) Aldnoah Zero (1 + 2) Ergo Proxy Baccano! Fate Apocrypha (1 + 2) Fate/stay night (2006) (1 + 2) Berserk (1997) Digimon (Numerous) Trigun (1998) Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash The God of Highschool

If you like wacky and messed up shows then Kakegurui (#21 and #12, recommend you to check the endings too! ) should appear on your watch list... it's a story about a chick (busty one!) obsessed with gambling in a very unusual way... this one will make you giggle and raise your eyebrows multiple times.

Jacob

lol i think your forgetting that the animations play a big part in the placing as well

Dj

So glad to see shingeki no bahamut and terror in resonance. I've seen both without realizing they were both under studio mappa

paininthebrass

Kids on the Slope is INCREDIBLE. Classic 50s/60s jazz classics played by Yoko Kanno and friends!

rostikowb

Did you really not make a reaction to Kakegurui's OP-ED? This is a crime, I demand justice!

Frentzy

12:50, I wonder if wife watches those reactions. 5th one you reacted I think in a compilation (maybe I am wrong, it's called idaten deities) edit: I think 9th and 33 will enter my playlist. As for restructuring the list..., I would add all the boring "anime-sound-like" OP to the end, and all the unique ones first. Ps: 2nd place is bias. I watched that show and it's bias af. I gave it 10/10, it's giga emotional (it's around 8.30 with objectivity), The one who made the list probably was ultra emotional he set it 2nd, cuz no way it deserve that place, it's a generic piece of music (weird enough since the anime itself is about music...)

Zero2Antihero

For Studio-specifc opening rankings, it's probably most helpful to de-emphasize the music itself and focus more on how well the animation matches its timing and carries symbolism and tone. We all love the music but that's the one thing these animation studios have the least involvement with. In this context, specifically, prioritizing music is kind of like ranking a photographer's collected works by how well they had them framed or the quality of the canvas, right? Just a thought. Love your content

MechaNeko

Zombieland Saga is absolutely phenomenal, I 100% recommend giving it a watch.

Sai

It's okay. I prefer Under Star anyways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWl5glbSCY4

Nate Ming

Inner Light for life, yo But Under Star still kicks ass https://youtu.be/-tsIV6lNJ-g?si=DwNHD-OSdMxCTED2

malkuuusha

Zankyou no terror is such a masterpiece… I don’t know why it’s so unknown nowadays, maybe because it was short, but… idk, this anime is easily one of my favorite, it’s so good. You really should react to both op and ed for this anime. You better react to the anime itself tbh, you gonna love it

malkuuusha

1 op for Dororo was made by Queen Bee, why is the name of the band different?…

slashandhack

You mean Ziyoou-vachi? It's the same if you google it you will see his name written in kanji 女王蜂 which translated to English literally means Queen Bee.

Idaten Deities is a great show that I can never recommend xD #5

Anggst

yea, I think you should check Idaten Deities and God of Highschool openings. They were on this list and you didn't recognise them.

Jordan Grinde

Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-Tachi E (AKA To The Abandoned Sacred Beasts) was an anime who's opening theme I watched by accident but really liked, sadly it's a short series but I think it would be a quick but worth it wink. My second thought to you is God of High School was a totally out of left field, out of nowhere show that even caught me off guard at how much of a banger season and opening theme it had, a definitely recommended show.

syaimaral

Kakegurui is a pretty good show. If you like crazy woman, you'll like this.

Some0neElse

Man, i keep telling you to go and react to God of Highschool opening for months :D

DOCTORMAN

Your in luck haha, Luke has reacted to Ichigo's theme "Number 1" already its on his channel

malkuuusha

Lol, true. This was my favorite anime of that season, dark and immoral humor, just how I like)

Yami Youssouf

im asuming they are ranked more based on visuals than the song this time but what you heard at number 2 defo top 10 worthy just a lil lower from 2 in my opinion, also kakegurui would be amazing twitch anime to watch its has 30 ish episodes

Martin Vaclavik

Given your reaction to Kakegurui, i would love for that to bea series reaction :DDD

Inverse Voltage

If I had to guess, it's probably based on the number of views the Youtube music video has, rather than any vote on people's favorites. That would explain why number two was where it was despite being a less hype song. It's an older show and thus had longer to collect views than videos like Jujutsu Kaisen, and AOT. It's still a great song, but I think it would be generally accepted that those two have better openings. Most "Best of" or "Top" compilations on Youtube are probably based on this less accurate count of an opening's popularity. Lesser known shows will therefore have lesser known openings, leading fewer people to look them up and watch them on Youtube, leading to lower view counts, and thus a lower ranking in the "Top" compilations, despite still being amazing openings in and of themselves.

Chrono 1002

Glad it got your attention. The god of high school definitely has a really cool opening, it would be nice to see it as a reaction. Also Vinland Saga is too low on the ranking.

Aliziel

where's HP?

cread13

its on brand at this point for him to notice the booba one and rewind for another look lol i hope he checks out the show its funny how crazy the characters are.

Markus

1: The Rumbling (obvious choice) 2: Vinland Saga OP 1 3: Vinland Saga OP 3 4: Jujutsu Kaisen OP 1 5: Chainsaw man OP 1

Roy Meulblok

Jujutsu is good above Rumbling, but Dororo should been higher then both. and Chainsawman lower. That would be my choice.

Link

The fact that there was only one Vinland Saga opening in this whole list is a travesty. River is amazing so it deserved a spot on the list but where the heck was OP1, 2, and 4? xD A show I saw in the list that I'd love to see you react to is Hajime no Ippo. One of the best sports based anime out there. I can't stand real boxing but Hajime no Ippo takes it to a different level of hype only anime can manage!

Harley Burnie

Nooooooooo!!!! Why is your reaction to Itaden Dieties Know Only Peace only a 5 second clip?!?!? One of the BEST OPs ever ever ever. Damn. It. At least it's #5 on this incredible list. Looks like it's up to me to ask in every video comments

Harley Burnie

10:32 takt Op. Destiny is one of the most painfully slept on animes I can name, and the music is KILLER. That OP sends me into convulsions, and the art style and crisp animation of the show is insane. Terribly clever, funny, and heartbreaking anime.

James Dorling

So good, it's a shame that it's done forever now b/c it was an ad for the game
