Zykiel Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Haven't seen this topic around, the opening movie of a VN usually hypes me up for it. So what's either your favorite opening or the one you think is the best. My favorite is the opening of Dengeki Stryker and the one i think is the best is Kamidori's one, great music and awesome visuals in that one. Quote
GetterEmperor Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 The Dengeki Stryker opening since c'mon it's Masaaki Endoh he always get's your blood pumping and my second would have to be the Steins;Gate opening since the visuals are good and I just really like it. Quote
Ceris Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Both Rewrite openings are great. I like the first OP song a ton while I love OP2's video. I liked Hatsuyuki Sakura's OP a lot too. I've only heard like 15 VN openings so I don't have much to go off. Quote
Clephas Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Well, with over four hundred VNs under my belt, I naturally have some favorites... so I'll give you my top ten in no particular order, lol.

Berilium Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I really liked grisaia's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7eq3Z_g3JE Quote
nohman Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I usually don't pay attention to too many VN openings, but DEARDROP's OP caught my eye the first time I played it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNlPBOaig4c Quote
Life Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It may just be me but I enjoyed the peacefulness of the symphonic rain OP. However for stuff that are more like OPs, I liked philosophyz. Quote
Nerathim Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnaT77Jph6Y However it's the only visual novel I've seen with such a style for the opening, so apart from that, Shikkoku No Sharnoth : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5b9TO7DBtw Umineko No Naku Koro Ni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ1vcW6tT2Y Ef - A Fairy Tale Of The Two : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0kXTa6r5GI And Muv-Luv Alternative obviously : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAXEMvIHtT0 Melanite 1 Quote
Life Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Ef - A Fairy Tale Of The Two : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0kXTa6r5GI And Muv-Luv Alternative obviously : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAXEMvIHtT0 I forgot about Ef's opening... I love it. I honestly preferred traditional Muv-Luvs opening because it was the first and last piece of music you hear leaving an impression. Quote
Monmon Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 too many to choose. but my fav atm is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_TYkQuSEpI Quote
edwd2 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Hatsuyuki Sakura - Hesitation Snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQSy5ylni_g always liked fripside songs Quote
HMN Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 this OP is simply amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5NtKCDSM-I Vokoca 1 Quote
Funyarinpa Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Umineko has around 5 openings I think, and every one of them have a surreal atmosphere just like the game, so I like them. However, (maybe since this was my second VN without gameplay, the first being Ever17) this is my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQFe9FWaTuc Also, it is possible that I got used to it after going through it 30+ times... but I really like it for some reason. Edit: S;G has a great opening too. My favorite BGM in an opening video though, is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siOCjEydLUU Quote
Snowtsuku Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It may just be me but I enjoyed the peacefulness of the symphonic rain OP. This as well. Oh and KoiChoco's OP as well. Quote
Praeliator Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 This one is my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cXa36xjYgM Funyarinpa 1 Quote
Aggressor Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 To add to already mentioned, Pastel Chime 3: Quote
Tawm Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I've never actually seen one. I always skip them due to their spoiler-ish nature. Quote
suikashoujo Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I need a top 5 for this. Interestingly enough, a lot of my favorites are for untranslated games (some of which I've played, some I haven't). 1. Rakuen no Tobira (euphoria) 2. Fractale (Dark Blue) 3. Distorted Pain (Gore screaming Show) 4. Little Busters! (Little Busters!) 5. Aka no Sora (Oni Uta) There are more, but these were the first to come to mind. Darker/more serious games almost always have the best openings, imo. (Key stuff is an exception to that rule though; I could have filled a whole list with their stuff) yashasupercow 1 Quote
Zykiel Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I've never actually seen one. I always skip them due to their spoiler-ish nature. Ah that's true, I've never really thought about that before, but openings do have a lot of semi spoilers in them. Quote
Clephas Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Tawn is more or less correct. The more serious the story, the more likely the opening is going to be good. Moege tend to have openings that are carbon copies of other moege openings... Quote
Mephisto Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I forgot how sexy Mahoyo's opening music was for that sequence. The entire game is pretty much like that by the way, although there's text during the rest of the game. Soukoku also has an amazing opening, although I never really got in to the game. Quote
Nyanko Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 This one is my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cXa36xjYgM I second this, I really liked it, never skipped it, and began to love it. Quote
zoom909 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I only judge OP's by the song quality/style; it's great if the video part matches well, but I think of that more as a nice side-effect. Anyway: I liked the Flyable Heart op song, too, but I assume you've already heard it. Quote
Chronopolis Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Probably Eustia. Though, I usually find something I like in most OP's of VN's I play. Kizuato: packed with memorable scenes from the VN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQSE6-1ltg Quote
