thanks for this, just about to sleep.

Stefan

where was this voted?

Xaniss

Gotta get some acoustic panels up in that new office my guy

Marcio Neves

5:10 OH, but little did you know that Class:y IS a KPOP girls group. They just happened to sing some song in japanese, and that one being used for tha opening for Undead Girl Murder Farce. Also, the music is very good, worth reacting either to the opening or to their dance/lyrics video 😁

Rei

you want to watch My Hero Academia? please don't. save yourself the trouble of being disappointed by the series

Acubens

It's criminal that DownTimer isn't on this, not enough people know about it

NoahNotes

I don't agree with the order but I agree they all deserve to be on here! This was a lot better of a list than the last one lmao

DevDSilver

for future help ayase is pronounced i-ya-say

Ainz Ooal Gown

eminence in shadow season 2 ended last wednesday

Toasterfinal5

So many good openings from 2023. Now, I want to watch about half of the them from this list lol 😆. My personal top three? “Idol” - Yoasobi “Kizuna no Kiseki” (Demon Slayer) - Milet x MWAM “Escalate” (NieR Automata) - Aimer Happy Holidays.

Gabriel Pires

you know what's truly criminal? the fact that "Name" by Tsuzuri (The Girl I Like Forgot her Glasses) didn't make the cut. I just don't understand how it's not more popular. It deserves to be there, and nothing can change my mind.

MaxValion

I can't believe it. Has nobody watched Dark Gathering? How isn't it on any of the lists when its opening is absolutely amazing?

Sprucefer

For anyone who doesn't know btw, Oshi no Ko season 2 has been confirmed to be coming in 2024 (likely releasing in summer or fall)!

Sprucefer

Also, here would be my personal top 5: 5. Vinland Saga S2 Op 2 - "Paradox" by Survive Said the Prophet 4. Heavenly Delusion Op - "Innocent Arrogance" by bish 3. Undead Unluck Op - "01" by Queen Bee 2. Oshi no Ko Op - "Idol" by Yoasobi 1. Link Click S2 Op - "Vortex" by Bai Sha Jaws

Ainz Ooal Gown

kinda tuff that "CHANGEMAKER" by Hinano wasn't on here. the anime wasn't well known or anything but the opening is beautiful

Marcio Neves

It also comes to what people actually have watched. Sadly it didn't make through, it is a great song

L.C.

I was waiting for trash JJK to be forced into the top spots because of its mainstream viewership. You are my special opening is cringe and dogshit. The other one is decent at best. Leave it to the JJK fans to be biased and have terrible taste. Literally not surprised it was forced into the top spots. Another shonen to put on my shit list because normies are annoying af.

L.C.

Disappointing biased list once again. Really just not surprised anymore. Its been that way for a few years now. The better shows get overlooked due to the dick riders for the mainstream shonen shows that are average at best.

Thiago Serra

Dont listen to people saying to you to not watch My Hero Academia. Watch it. It's very good, even though some people are disappointed with the current events, this is one of the best animes out there, which will surely give you a lot of emotions

Saturi

please react to the Ragna Crimson opening Roar, i noticed everytime a little snippet of it is shown you say you think it sounds great, i'll tell you it is really really good its definetly worth listening to

Saturi

as soon as i realized that the people voted ao no sumika over specialz i immediatly started celebrating, and no i do not hate specialz its incredible i just think that ao no sumika and idol are both better, i can understand if you put specialz above them aswell, but it made me happy to see that im not alone.

Adam

Honestly can't wait for 2023 to be over so we can stop with all the "best anime openings of 2023" videos. Though soon there's going to be another two dozen "best anime openings of 2024" videos.

Kot Bajun

Yeah yeah, decent vocals, yet underdog shows such as “ Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts” opening 1 to be exact is not on the list. Why am I not surprised? But again, perhaps copyright is tough around it. And no, I spear, it was not the anime I cried the most over in 2023 ;_;

Frentzy

=.= I like those types of videos, are my favorite, I don't really care about the title, 2023,1923,etc. @_@ As long as we get batch of openings. These also helped me find new songs to my playlist.

Adam

The problem is that 1) There's not so many good anime OPs in a year that it requires a dozen different videos to see them all, and 2) They're called "best of 2023" even when it's only part way through the year. If it was "Best of Spring 2023, best of Summer 2023, etc. it would be fine. Realistically there should only need to be 5 videos, one for each season and then one for the year.

Othinus

Ragna Crimson at 47 just goes to show how ridiculous the voting folk are

rostikowb

People choose what to vote for based on what they've heard or seen, so obviously popular anime with worse openings will be higher than unpopular anime with better openings. P.s I haven't heard this opening

rostikowb

The opening is not bad (I just listened to it), but anime is not popular at all, people will not vote for something they have never heard or seen. And in my opinion, the opening is not good enough to go viral, but it could potentially get into the top 30-40+

rostikowb

For me, this top is better than the previous one, but not by much. jjk should objectively be in the top 15-30. But it's the most popular anime of the year. Of course, it would be better if everyone had to listen to ALL the openings before voting and not vote only for those they listened to, but this is not possible.

rostikowb

I wouldn't call it one of the best, but everyone has different tastes, Luke hasn't watched many shonen so far, he might like it

axilir21

My personal favorites for this year are : - Apothecary Diaries - Otaku Elf - Heavenly Delusions - Tonikawa S2 (soo good bro) - Ancient Magus Bride S2 part 2 (Paradox and Goblin Slayer S2 very close to make it in my top 5)

Ryan Thomas

I definitely recommend reacting to the opening for ragna crimson (47 in this video) its great

seansky

Im quite sad my favorite song this year only made 40, OP from My Happy Marriage. It’s not aimed at the majority demographic of anime fans so I can understand but please give the song a try if not the anime…. I have full version of it and Idol on my list and that song has about 3 times more repeats than Idol….

Sam

This is so unhinged. Relax and let people like stuff without crying about it. “Aaarrgh more than like 3 people enjoy something, so it must be bad! Those damn normies, curse them!”

yorozuyapetel

As I expected, it’s purely a popularity contest. The best opening song this year was at number 35. At least to me. That song is so unbelievably soothing and chill, it’s been almost a year since it released and it’s still not gotten old. Unlike songs like idol that got old on me after about a week or a month, or the demon slayer op.

NoName

If you liked link click opening then you have to react to the endings

Cédric Michaud

"Paradox" (Vinland Saga) has a more catchy melody, so that is why it is better imo, and why it might be more popular

Cédric Michaud

17:51 I got to disagree. If the opening doesn't give a powerful emotion every time I rewatch it, it doesn't deserve top 1 or even top 10 anime opening music of all time. If it doesn't give me a powerul emotion, the visuals of the opening needs to be the best opening visuals I've ever seen with maybe a lot of hidden meanings behind to make the opening in the top 10 of all time.

Cédric Michaud

JJK season 2 part 1 opening has the better song, but part 2 has the better visuals in my opinion. But I would have voted for part 1 because the song has a greater effect on my appreciation of the opening.

Cédric Michaud

You could watch fully EVERY anime opening for 2023 and make a tier list out of it in one twitch stream, I just had that idea

Cédric Michaud

My top 3: 1. #40 My Happy Marriage 2. #29 1/3 Dr Stone: New World part 2 3. #2 JJK season 2 part 1 Special mentions for : Frieren, Mushoku Tensei, #29 3/3 My Love Story with Yamada-kun..., Undead Unluck, #14 Apothecary Diaries, Heavenly Delusion, Zom100, Vinland Saga S2 Op2, Link Click and Oshi no Ko. Number 1, 2, 3 and special mentions are all S tier for sure, for the rest I'm not sure if they are S(peak), A, B, C(mid), D, E or F(trash) but almost all of the one in the videos are C or higher.

Adrian Muñoz

Popular anime = higher ranking.

Irimu

Kien Romance (number 50) is the best to me

Javier

I totally agree with you Luke, the opening 1 of JJK S2 is better than SPECIALZ, I think opening 2 doesn't fit the mood of JJK.

Prohibidibabido

Some of these being ranked lower makes sense just because even if the OP deserves to be higher, the anime that it's tied to just wasn't as popular so not as many people have seen it.

xenon

Check My Hero by MAN WITH A MISSION

Prohibidibabido

Yoasobi is insane. Almost 400m views for Idol on YT and over 300m views for the Beastars OP. Crazy.

Prohibidibabido

My top 5 are 5. Undead Unluck OP 4. Trigun OP 3. River 2. Idol 1. Heavenly Delusion OP

виина

I think River deserves to be number 1 more than Idol

mania man

luke: after rezero we gone wach demon slayer overlord fans : (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Orieng

I feel like The Faraway Paladin season 2 opening should have been on. Not at the top, but atleast on the list :)

_____ Rasse _____

It's disappointing how these lists always end up being a popularity contest for the shows, with JJK being the worst offender. Don't get me wrong, the openings are good and I can totally see them being top 30 to 10 based on the ops alone, but top 2 and 3? Absolutely no way. If Idol wasn't as popular as it is the JJK ops would have absolutely stolen the top 2 spots, simply due how mainstream JJK is.

Barack O. Llama

He promised to do vinland after rezero a few months back but ig he lied or changed his mind

patros36

Specialz COMPLETELY fits the tone of Shibuya Arc and the OP video. You've watched it right?

patros36

Damn son chill, did you not get your wanted gift for christmas that you're this pissy?

patros36

Also i love you say better shows are being overlooked, when your other comment implies you haven't even watched JJK. How do you know which is better?

patros36

Yeah i also wouldnt call it one of the bests, but the earlier seasons are really the best example of classic shounen. Though it really really falls of later, i would rather recommend Black Clover which is the opposite and gets better the longer the show goes. But i guess MHA is just more popular.

yorozuyapetel

And I’m putting this above shows like Gundam witch from mercury having one of the hardest ops in the whole year. I listened to that song so much while still not reaching my top 5 most listened songs of the year

Javier

That song sound like a bad pop music, not like a dark theme according to a massive massacre and curses battles.

Valrenas

I would have put Otaku Elf much farther down the list, that song is such a bop. Hana ni Natte from Apothecary Diaries is my obsession right now, so I'm glad it was as high as it was. I would have liked Dangers in My Heart higher, just because it's Yorushika... they're up there with Minami and Ado for my most listened to singers

Abe Abellio

Yea... I get that people cannot vote for things they do not know, but when I see these lists it seems like 70-80% of the votes comes from people knowing only the top 3 series from each season.

Harley Burnie

Everyone, let's work to get Goblin Slayer on the channel in the near future!

Harley Burnie

"Idol" was a hit like few we've seen before. The song, the OP, the music video, the English version, the Oshi no Ko brand unrelenting weeping.....I mean, there's not much else one could get out of a song! Now....I'm curious how the 2nd season OP will possibly compare? Aishiteru

Animeter

He said right at the beginning of Re:Zero, next comes DemonSlayer and vinland is friday and saturday slot after heavenly delusion

Animeter

But thats the point of votings, popularity allways wins. I personally don't like Idol, but that's how it works

Avaron

The problem with fan voted rankings is that most people will never see all the openings in the year + they will pick good series over good openings.

wildhunt1973

CLASS;y is a K-Pop group who are really quite good. I don't know if the opening they did was sung in Japanese or not, but the fact they did an OP at all fell under my radar. Shame on me. But, yes, you should really check them out.

Mike Baker

That definitely seems to be the case! I wonder, though, what would be a good rubric for ranking objectively good openings? I have wasted too much time in the shower thinking about rubrics for anime shows (sales numbers, industry influence, longevity, recency bias), and one day I will try to make an objective top 10. But openings are probably even harder! What do you think should go into consideration to counter biases?

Avis Pakaya

18:00 absolutely agree, even better than Gurenge imo

AnimeGT3 .

My Hero Academia will blow you away like Jujutsu Kaisen! :D

ZabluLobsta

Blud do a reaction to the ragna crimson opening

Adriana Flores

Hi you’ve said that you like parent and child relationship then would you like to react to the op and ending of kakushigoto they are really nice songs and visual plz n thanks 😄

Siilan

I like how you say, "I know it isn't K-pop...but" with Crack Crack Crackle (the Undead Girl Murder Farce OP) but CLASS:y, the group that sings that song, IS a Korean K-pop girl band. It just so happens they can also sing in Japanese, but you definitely feel the K-pop in their Japanese songs, too.
