[...] music was not great… Tomare was okay, but Super Driver is the WORST OP I ever heard (Yes, this tells you why it’s not good) and made my ears bleed. Personally, I’m not to fond with Hirano Aya’s singing, except [...]

There’s really no expectations at all. If all anime OP/EDs were enjoyable listens, I’d be the happiest person ever. Unfortunately, reality doesn’t work that way so you’ll get some occasional flub like “Super Driver” is just business as usual.

Besides, music is one of those subjective elements. Somehow, I never felt that energy that you described, so that’s why I gave it a low rating, but I was somehow able to feel it in “Tomare” and therefore gave it a high rating.

I’m gonna have to side with the few people that like this song, i liked it, i have to listen to it every day in the morning, or i won’t have any energy……so i like it, and not only that….I LOLd AT Endless eight and actually liked it(surprising, isn’t it)….i think your hopes were just TOO high up zzeroparticle

I think that even if you took God Knows out of the equation, the song is still pretty bad when you listen to it within the context of anime music in general. There are far better OPs that are worthy of attention than this one.

I really didn’t get your point.
Both songs were great. Guitar, bass, drums and vocals…

Maybe people thought that she would sing a better song than God Knows, but this is a quite hard to do. I didn’t expect that, so I’m not disappointed.

Yeah, I want to chime in myself with the rare “I really like this song” opinion.

I really like the energy in the song and am quite fond of Aya’s voice.

Then again, I’m in the minority that hasn’t totally hated Endless Eight (don’t love it, but certainly don’t hate it…think it was an interesting artistic experiment).

Of course topping the first seasons awesome songs was never really going to be possible either.

Yeah, I’m just not feeling the energy that I think I was supposed to feel. :\

A shame, I liked it. But then again I like everything.

I SAY, I SAY, MY HEAVEN.
