Many of the spring 2024 anime titles have finished their first broadcast. The work started in early April and is reaching its climax.
The TV anime is attractive for the main story and the theme song, which condenses the world of the work into one minute and thirty seconds. This season has a wide variety of songs, but which one captured the hearts of fans?
Anime there! Anime! We conducted a reader survey titled, “Which theme song do you like for the spring 2024 anime?” We received responses from 117 people during the survey period from May 9th to May 12th.
The male-to-female ratio was approximately 40% male, 55% female, and 5% did not respond, with a slightly higher proportion of females. Most respondents were young, with approximately 32% being under 19 years old and 20% being in their 20s. In this article, we will announce the results of the OP theme.
Manga original titles dominate the top 3!
“WINDBREAKER.”The approval rating was about 20%.
The opening theme of this work is Natori’s “Absolute Zero.” We’ve received multiple comments from readers that include the word “feeling like they’re running,” such as “The fast-paced songs with a sense of speed are the best match for the work. I’ve become addicted to listening to them over and over again.” and “Running through with all your might.” The feeling of running expresses the character’s emotions, and it feels great!” The cheerful theme song enlivens the passionate story based on the Yankee manga.
“Oblivion Battery” and “My Hero Academia” tied for second place. Their approval ratings were about 11%.
The opening theme for “Oblivion Battery” is Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac.” This song has a lot of references to the word “youth,” such as “It energetically and carefully expresses the sweetness and bitterness of youth. The guitar intro at the beginning is also cool!” and “The dazzling theme song is so youthful that I get dizzy.” I also like the opening animation’s depiction of going to school and the game being held under the blue sky.” Famous works based on baseball manga ranked high.
The opening theme for the 7th season of “My Hero Academia” is TK from Rin Toshi Sigure’s “Dogata.” A reader commented, “The opening animation that spotlights each character is also impressive, and in the chorus where Deku starts running, everyone from Class A appears. But what excited me the most was the momentary glimpse of my favorite Hagakure-chan’s true face.
This is the cut that appears!” and “TK from Rin Toshigure’s singing voice is the best, and Kacchan before the chorus is so beautiful!” The opening animation is also well-received and is filled with the charm of the characters.
“Sound! Euphonium 3” TRUE’s “ReCoda,” said, “It’s a masterpiece filled with the story of the past. The up-tempo melody is light and uplifting, and the opening animation, which also features graduating seniors, brings tears to my eyes.”
“Sentai Dai Shikkaku” Tatsuya Kitani’s “next preview” said, “The lyrics are packed with various elements and are reminiscent of special effects programs. The opening animation is engaging, but the music video in which the artist himself appears also has lyrics. It’s hidden inside the screen and is full of playfulness, so it’s highly recommended!
“The relaxing, different world life of a former hero candidate who has been cheating since Lv2” Fenrys (CV: Rie Kugimiya) “Love, love, love song with my husband” includes “I can’t believe I can hear Rie Kugimiya’s character song as the theme song in the Reiwa world”! The best OP that brings out Kugimiya’s cuteness to the fullest!”
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Pillar Training Edition” MY FIRST STORY I’m looking forward to the full size!” At the voting deadline, there were votes for titles that had yet to air for the first time.
In the opening theme section, titles from a wide range of genres, such as battle, sports, music, fantasy, etc., are ranked. Votes were cast for a well-balanced variety of titles, from new releases to sequels.
Next time, we will announce the results of the ED theme. Don’t miss this either!
