Favorite/Best VN openings

Rewrite OP is great for sure and I agree for Grisaia too.

btw I really like Mahoyo opening, quite different from the classic opening with a lot of sprites presenting the cast on a voiced japanese ost.

However it's the only visual novel I've seen with such a style for the opening, so apart from that,

Shikkoku No Sharnoth :

Umineko No Naku Koro Ni:

Ef - A Fairy Tale Of The Two :

And Muv-Luv Alternative obviously :

This just gave me another idea for a thread...also you can find some decent visual novel trailers and some short extra videos on erogetrailers.com (contains nsfw content...it's a website for finding trailers for various eroge so yeah not work safe) good for finding OPs/trailers of games not yet translated or to just follow more new releases and other things like that. The site often has direct website links or youtube links to the official videos and the like. For those interested figured I'd share.

 

As far as favorite visual novel openings go are people basing these off of music, art, or both? There have been quite a few vns that have had great opening music but had horrible graphics to go with them and some with great visuals but crappy music.

So im sure we had this at some point but since we dont necro here then lets make a new one.

So I guess we necro after all huh? :P

When I started reading VNs seriously around a year ago I thought to myself that I wouldnt be too fond of VN openings in general, while still loving the BGM stuff.

But over the last months I have found stuff that I still love a great deal from different VNs anyway.

(lets say you can post max 4, sounds good? good)

First up we have the baldr force OP, a great song for one of the most known and appreciated VN series ever. There isnt much to say about it really, pretty solid electronic pop that has that really cheesy but awesome millenium vibe.

Spoiler

 

 

 

The fortissimo series is something I have meant to dwelve into at some point, the obvious obstacle of course being the fact that non of the games are translated and it doenst seem like its gonna happen soon.

Albeit, the op for the newest game in the series "kadenz fermata" has everything im looking for in a chuunige OP, pretty cheesy guitar track with small electronic influences. Catchy hook and melody and you got me buying a copy just for the op!

Spoiler

 

 

Futagoza no Paradox was something I stumbled upon when I looked around for VNs (I try to find vns nobody has talked about way more than I actually play them, its a bad idea dont do it)

This OP made me amazed by the fact that it just shows you that you're in for a serious ride, with a plot reminding you a little bit of corpse party and a clearly underlying denpa/horror feel, it can either be a cheap chuuni ripoff of corpse party or subarashiki hibi or something else entirely

Spoiler

 

 

I would have put the saya no uta op as the last but its time for something new!

Introducing the kinda boring (!?) OP for Dekinai Watashi ga, Kurikaesu, its a very good song and I love it, its mostly because I think that a lot of op music doesnt have anything to do with the VN itself, meaning that it would be a different song entirely without the op attached to it. This however just feels very in place with the overall atmosphere presented in the OP. Besides from that, its a solid catchy electronica/pop song that will give you the feels.

Spoiler

 

 

I should maybe have posted the Maggot baits op here, because thats my favorite op of all time, I just dont think its fair since I have already posted it 10000 times already and the track wasnt made for the VN to begin with.

Has to be my all time favorite opening in any VN. It gets me pumped every time I hear it. When I first saw it a while ago, I knew I had to play this, and it turned out to be a fantastic visual novel

 

This one also got me extremely excited to play this one because of how great Kara No Shoujo is and it's just so intriguing that I just had to play it immediately when it came out.

I also have a fondness for Key visual novel openings like these ones

 

 

I love these ones mainly for the songs in them. They just match the games so perfectly in my eyes.

Hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype!!!

Really excited to get my hands on this one. :D 

I would post every single Fortissimo OP here, but that is just way too much of a bother.

But for now: Dekinai Watashi Ga, Kurikaesu.

Spoiler

 

 

Sends chills down my spine every time I watch and just listen to this one.

Let's see, there is also: Bradyon Veda

Spoiler

 

I remember spending a VERY long time looking for the full version of this one, before finally concluding that it just doesn't exist. Hurts my feels, because I really love this song.

 

I'm too tired to think of others, but I am sure I will post again in here. :P

My favorites are: 

 

The first Miagete goran, Yozora no hoshi o opening. It´s so awesome

Euphoria. Sends chills down my spine, and the music is really good

Eden*, fantastic animated opening. So well done

SonoHana nyuu jene - such a catchy opening. I watched it like every time I opened the game :P

Most of my favorites have been mentioned already, specially Rewrite's. I'm glad many people like them.

So I'll give a shout out to ef's second opening. I particularly love the song, but I think it's amazing as a whole.

(Minor spoilers of ef -a fairy tale of the two-)
