Guessing maybe some parallel world thing going on.
NormCore seems pretty decent.

finaly we get a good DC OP! good song, good visuals(no more running or tree and all the other BS they used until now) and all around plain good old DC OP. it's not excellent like OP25 or OP15 but I'll take what I can get

Music is good... But we once again get Ran as damsel in distress. Thankfully she gets to kick ass too.

I'm not in a position to judge whether this piece is objectively good or bad, but what I can say for sure: I like it. It's been a long time since DC's had an Opening like this. The music itself was a little bit generic, but the visuals were amazing. Maybe not necessarily original, but they definitely put more thought into this than that snowy OP that they were doing fairly recently. I know that after this they'll probably go back to the cookie cutter fare that fans have come to expect from the DC anime production team, so I hope they keep this one for a good while.

Is it me or does this OP look more interesting than the episode itself?

I am being old fashioned here... but since when did Ran wear such a short skirt?

Well... I agree in the beginning they used "fan service" to pull viewers in... do they really need that now though?

Anyhow, back to the song... it was better than the episode... let's hope July brings in manga episodes.

I wonder who the key animator of this one was because it's kind of different in many ways really neat opening. The singer's voice is 50/50 not sure if he was the best choice ever for this. Well I guess variety is good even if B'z would have been better.
