Your Favorite Opening

Well it’s not like there were TONS of different openings, there are only two really. You can’t blame me too much for having forgotten about that.

So I just rewatched them all, yes all two – the things I do for you guys! – and I’m going to go with papermoon or OP2:

Fact is, I’m not really crazy about either of these OPs. For a show as creative and weird as Soul Eater, the OPs are pretty standard fare. Don’t get me wrong, they get the job done. Rewatching them just now gave me the urge to see the series again (not the same way as the HxH OPs did when I had the same question) but nothing about them really stands out. There’s a reason we never see this show in best OP lists.

I’m kinda hoping you flood my comments with lists showing otherwise. Mostly because I really don’t have anything else to say on the subject.

I chose Papermoon because I like the song a bit better, that’s all.

This said, the visuals of the Soul Eater repeat openings are really cool. Much better to look at, but since it’s not the ones I saw when I was watching the show, I don’t get the same pangs of nostalgia. That got them out of the running.

Nevertheless, if you’ve never seen them, it’s definitely worth a look,

Look at that magical girl Maka!
