| What I mean is, did you ever have experiences where an anime opening felt more suited as an ending song, or an ending song felt more like an opening song? Another words, the OP/ED songs were misplaced in certain anime. I don't have much example other than the OP and ED song from the final season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal II. |

| Might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the Frieren ED "Anytime Anywhere" way more than OP1 "Yuusha", and I think the ED would've been a better fit as the episode opener. I get that the YOASOBI song is the more traditional "anime OP" song, but the ED just matches the vibe of the show better. The show takes you on a journey (it's in the title after all), where they remember, see the world, meet new people, and occasionally get into life-or-death situations, all in a day's work. A quieter OP would've made it stand out even more from the other shows, too. I love the ODDTAXI OP for daring to be so chill and setting the mood, and I think Frieren could've done something to similar effect. |
| Re: Zero season 3 ED is just so much better and would work well as OP |
perseii said: I've yet to watch the series. The Japanese title is "Frieren at the Funeral", so I guess maybe that's why they chose YOASOBI to do a song as they can fit the tone. The group itself is no stranger to ending songs (such as Beastars and Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season), so their songs can easily fit as both an OP and an ED song provided they fit the atmosphere of the anime.Might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the Frieren ED "Anytime Anywhere" way more than OP1 "Yuusha", and I think the ED would've been a better fit as the episode opener.

| I would swap Madoka OP and ED. Proper order: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rNOTnm2M1a0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OrgpX-_bFqM |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
| I think Akiba Meido Sensou ED would work great as the OP. Same thing with Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa ED2. |

Another big disappointment was that they didn't include "bliss" as a regular ED for English release of the first episodes like it was in Japanese broadcast. |

Oh I wasn't saying that YOASOBI songs should be OPs, only that that specific song of theirs sounds more like a typical anime OP, since it's exciting and pop-y. Also, good point about the Japanese title of the anime, but I still stand by Anytime Anywhere. I haven't checked out Beastars yet, but that ED you linked is really nice. Much to my tastes than Yuusha or Idol... |

Did this song ever play anywhere in the Crunchyroll version of the show? I don't think I've ever heard this song before... Happy to hear more milet in Frieren. But I wonder why this wasn't used? |
| I love Frieren OP1 (a lot more than OP2) so that's one I definitely wouldn't change, especially for Millet's ED, which is fine, but I don't feel strong for, either. I think I saw a similar thread to this quite recently and the one I mentioned was Fairy Tail could do with OP1 and ED1 being swapped around. There aren't really many I'd like to change. |
perseii said: Oh I see. I must've misinterpreted your post then. I haven't seen Beastars yet either, only heard the song recently. The group overall has some really good songs.Oh I wasn't saying that YOASOBI songs should be OPs, only that that specific song of theirs sounds more like a typical anime OP, since it's exciting and pop-y.

| So Ra No Wo To ED first came to mind back when I finished watching the first episode. I feel like the cheery and upbeat mood is more suitable to the initial part of the show |
 |
| The Op/Ed I would swap around is Tokyo Ghoul S2. Always felt like the OP would be better suited as the ending theme. |
 |
| I don't pay much attention to music videos. |
| I would maybe swap around the OP and ED of the currently airing Guild Receptionist anime (they actually did it themselves a couple of times). |
| It sure would be nice if I could just remember an instance where this happened, because I know I thought this at some point with a recent anime I watched... And more if I sat down and listened through everything, because there's definitely songs I would switch around. It's safe to say at least that there's some OP and ED songs of series with multiple (like "Gintama" and "Fullmetal Alchemist") that I would've had rearranged. |
 |
| I lwk agree with your picks myself, anyways I do get that feeling sometimes, however I don't exactly remember the anime that I got that feeling from lol |
| Frieren for sure. Yoasobi is overrated and overused. |
 |
| The rule of thumb is that OP's tend to be more "upbeat", while ED's tend to be more neutral or somber, so some that would break the mold would be: Boogiepop wa Warawanai Shinigami no Ballad Kyousou Giga (TV) Cossette no Shouzou Wonder Egg Priority Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na I just checked every anime I've watched up to 2020 (From 2025 down), didn't feel like checking more. |
| Frieren for sure.... Yoasobi is good but they have no business to be in the show at all... |
