This OP just makes me think how incredibly dull the manga/anime is by comparison. I mean, the visuals are fun I guess, but they have nothing to do with what the series actually is.
If anything, this works better as M20 promotional material (but then again that movie's been in theaters for a month already).

Yes, finally! This was great one.
EDIT: Kor RM'd me. I definitely agree with... him(?).

hi Alice here. I'd just like to say if the ending of the series doesn't end like the opening plays out (it seems a little climatic to me) then I will be severely disappointed. (well, ok, not severely. I'm just being dramatic.)
Why? You never win the cursed war.

The animation for this OP is fun and exciting on the surface with essentially all new elements (if I'm not mistaken). But, as has been the case over the years (like with the Mai Kuraki OP that had the Black Org predominantly featured for episodes they were not in), this is just about as divorced from the everyday content of the series as any OP has been. I'm not sure what that actually says about the status quo as it stands today.
The song itself—as much as I like the message and overall tune—isn't really the best fit for an OP. It's much more suited for a movie theme, which can be used in a more flexible manner. For a direct comparison, "Don't Wanna Lie" was a much better retrofit. That said, this song always sounded like a B-side or album song, so I was surprised to hear this would also be used in the anime since it's still likely not going to be a single.

Seemed pretty him to me, considering the Hollywood-like circumstances. A simple smirk just doesn't seem enough for what's happening, behind him.bluekaitou1412 wrote:Everybody is badass in this opening except for Shinichi's dumb face. Also can we talk about Ran kicking ass? Best part. (Also got ruined by another being-saved sequence but eh.)
Except she wasn't really saved, there. There was no explanation why the ground caved in. And ruined seems a bit extreme to me. Shinichi/Conan doesn't really do much in this OP—he had to get a soccer ball in there, at the end.
I was surprised they didn't go farther with the "divorced from DC" stuff, with even more action and drama. If anything, OPs are an opportunity for creative flourishes, just short of the ones the movies should be doing. This OP seemed to have two stories—think an alternate Holmes' Revelation and an alternate Movie 20, with the former having much more action than its original counterpart.Jd- wrote:The animation for this OP is fun and exciting on the surface with essentially all new elements (if I'm not mistaken).

So where does this rank, compared to the other B'z openings?

Well, I was obviously exaggerating, though I don't see how you don't see another Ran-being-saved in this OP (because it's just like in any DC movie, ever).
Also, yeah, I think Shinichi's smirk face is dumb.
Edit: The song is earworm to me. There's a disconnect between it & the animation, but this time I can deal with.

In the explosion in London part, only a parachute could save them both. Is Ran known to have parachutes? Why would she have one, there?bluekaitou1412 wrote:I don't see how you don't see another Ran-being-saved in this OP (because it's just like in any DC movie, ever).
In the construction yard part (that's where it seemed to be taking place to me), who's to say she couldn't have pulled a Raven Chaser on the guy at the end? Besides, as I said, we aren't shown why there's suddenly a crater in that construction yard, and Shinichi/Conan hadn't really done anything in the OP.

Re: OP 43 - Sekai wa Anata no Iro ni Naru by B’z
it's kinda weird in a way. I didn't really connected to the song although it's not a bad one(may it will grow on me) and the video although it's seem awsome doesn't really connect to the song and just seemed like a bunch of random scenes. still it's so much better than the last one which had the second wrost video ever. I'm glad they're changing the OP often unlike other on going shows so the watchers don't have to put up with a bad OP for long

I know I'm late to this topic but I must say, this is like one of my favorite DC opening themes. B'z has always made AMAZING music and I love all the songs that they have made for Detective Conan.
