Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de!!!

A real BO opening, with a cool song, it was great. ^^

Glorious Mind is so-so.

Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de

[Soreiyu]

Op 22 is probably one of ZARD's better songs. I'm usually pretty indifferent towards their music, but I liked that one. The animation was pretty nice also.

[CoolKid3]

Another vote for Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de...

EDIT: I originally voted for Glorious Mind but then suddenly changed my mind... .. .

[Conia]

Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de!!!

IMO, the BEST opening. Excellent song,excellent animation, just as great as Red and Black Clash. I've got the song in my iTunes and the opening in my Favourites on Youtube.

I wont waste time watching the videos, OP22 will always be is my choice

For the record, another situations where I always liked both songs. 

I actually couldn't for the life of me remember the opening sequence. to Glorious Mind, but the song I remembered.  After watching, it came back and then remembered how the opening did vary depending on the episode.

As for Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de, I remembered that well enough.  That's the one getting my vote.  Great sequence and I loved all of the BO stuff along with Rena and Eisuke.

I think they overdid the Izumi Sakai tributes around this time. Sad she died, but would she really be happy about them releasing demo quality music (ie Glorious Mind imo)? I liked Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de, though.

Wow, I just read the wikipedia article on Izumi Sakai.  I didn't know she had died, nor that the Glorious Mind Ops where a tribute to her.  It's sad that she passed away at such a young age.

Tough choice because they're both REALLY great OPs....but I have to go with Ai Wa Kurayami no Naka de....it's just that much better! *^_^*

Ai Wa Kurayami No Naka De

[kkslider5552000]

Glorious Mind is brilliant all things considered but Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de is one of the greatest OPs ever.

[Holmes]

I really like both, but with Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de on the list ... it is my choice. Not only the music, but the video is also great.

[Kirbypepe]

Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de is the one i liked more
