The New Opening

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

I noticed a certain screen in the new opening after rewatching the OP for the zillionth time. Also, more screenshots of the OP beneath the cut! Spoilers for OP2




Is that (from left to right), Marianne, Charles, and V.V. on the cliff? That's the same cliff C.C. in traditional garb was standing on in ED2 of R1. Does it overlook the Palace of Aeries? It also appeared in C.C.'s flashback in episode 11 of R1.

HQ VER.



More screenshots:




Also what was with Toudou taking on the giant glowing tower of DOOM? Schneizel the panda getting progressively more menacing as the OP wore on? Or the "LOST" screen after the picture of the world? I hope we get an apocalypse :D Discuss the new OP sequence!


I demand a lengthy discussion of the new OP!

I like this new opening! But, for some reason, with everyone zooming by and nostalgic 'we may be ending soon, but we'll still be together' kind of music really makes me feel 'wow, we're half-way through R2'. It makes me kind of sad ;A;

The animation was great for the opening-I give them props for stuffing nearly EVERYONE in there. There were so many things I'm looking forward to now because of it, like the odd 'Sword in the Stone' and the Akatsuki flying up to fight the TOWER OF DOOM. I say it's from the Geass Cult. Trying to bring about Ragnorok or something.

And, alskjdf;askdjf, C.C. looks so pretty in both the OP and the ED. The scene with her back to the moon was gorgeous and the first cap in the ED...is totally gonna be my new wallpaper >3

wow you just summed up how i felt about the OP 10000x better than i could. i really did feel like the OP was kinda 'nostalgic' and it made me feel like we really are getting towards the end. really crazy about this song and didn't think FLOW could top 02 (which i personally really liked).
