Rapper Reacts to ANIME Openings for THE FIRST TIME 

Where it all started

I feel like the biggest difference between American cartoons and Japanese anime is that in Japan they’ve fully realized the true potential of animation. Over here cartoons are still generally considered to be for kids and even the adult swim shows are basically all sitcoms but over there they have so much variety for any genre at any age.

“whoever did this animation, it’s unreal” Yes. Ufotable has unlimited budget

unravel really is one of the most genius anime openings ever. i highly recommend watching tokyo ghoul (especially the 1st season), just for the season finale, where the song is beautifully incorporated into the final scenes.

All of the intros for Attack on Titan are incredible, same for Sword Art Online, but I think the first AoT intro is my all-time favorite.

Wait, so he starts with Demon slayer's opening as his first anime opening ever? That's like instead of having a beer as your first drink, you chug the tequila xD

1:00 - Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) Opening 1 4:31 - Tokyo Ghoul Opening 1 8:12 - My Hero Academy Opening 3 11:38 - Jujutsu Kaisen Opening 1 15:10 - Sailor Moon Opening 1

Mannn, his Tokyo Ghoul reaction is spot on. I just wish the anime gets a remake by other studios. The anime adaptation is dog water.

The ability this man has to get information out of songs without any context is ASTOUNDING

I would literally recommend all of the anime openings you just watched to anyone. Tokyo Ghoul for those that like darker themed things. But you selected such good ones for this video. Please do more in the future. I really enjoyed this reaction

Everytime I hear unravel it feels like all the scenes of tokyo ghoul are flashing through my head. Literally so many memories and goosebumps.

Seeing this guy slowly but surely turn into a full on weeb over the next year is incredible

I like how he figured out Todoroki’s whole life story with just one scene. 😂 😂. Edit: Hmm my first time writing one of these Thanks for the likes 😃 👍.

For me Unravel will always be one of the most unique and perfect anime openings, because the music lyrics combine 100% with the show

If there is such a thing as "2nd hand happiness" then i must be feeling it for u dude, what i would give to hear these songs for the first time, not that hearing them for the billioth time isnt orgasm inducing, but that first time is just😍😍😍

Crazy to say that these 5 openings changed the trajectory of his life.

You NEED to react to these phenomenal openings! Vinland Saga OP 1 Your Lie in April OP 1 The Promised Neverland OP 1 Tokyo Revengers OP 1 Code Geass OP 1 Naruto Shippuden OP 6 & 3 Attack on Titan OP 1 (honestly all of them are masterpieces) Black Clover OP 3 & 10 Death Note OP 1 Sword Art Online OP 1 Fire Force OP 1 Dororo OP 1 The Future Diary OP 1 Gintama OP 13 Domestic Girlfriend OP Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OP 1, 4 & 5 Noragami Aragoto OP

This guy's intuition when it comes to character reading from just a mere glance at the intro is superhuman

7 months ago : What is anime ?! After this video - What is this masterpiece!?❤️🌚

I beg for more lol! other good ones are: -Jujustu Kaisen ED1 "Lost In Paradise" -Attack On Titan OP2 "Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen" -Attack On Titan s2 OP "Shinzou wo Sasageyo!" -Attack On Titan s3 OP "Red Swan" (Lyric Video) -Haikyu!! OP4 "Fly High!" -Haikyu!! OP5 "Hikari Are" -Death Parade OP "Flyers" -Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood OP4 "Period" -Black Clover OP10 "Black Catcher"

For Jujutsu Kaisen they chose such a great person to do the opening, all of Eve's music is so great. ☺

And now he’s an anime channel

Timestamp: 1:00 - Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) Opening 1 4:31 - Tokyo Ghoul Opening 1 8:12 - My Hero Academy Opening 3 11:38 - Jujutsu Kaisen Opening 1 15:10 - Sailor Moon Opening 1

Proof that anime isn’t “just cartoons” a lot of them are better than any live action shows. Plus there are so many genres. Ranging from any you can imagine. Between kids and adults. And I’ve seen a lot where the opening alone made me watch them. And no… I don’t mean “that” kind of adult genre.

"Whatever studio created this, these visuals are God Tier." Yes, "Ufotable" is in fact a God-tier studio that does a fantastic job of blending 2D and 3D animation, with shows like the "Fate" series and the one shown here (Demon Slayer). It's exactly as it sounds, it's about slaying Demons, it's gory, it's an awesome and beautifully animated show in general, but especially as a beginner anime because its not very complex.

i love how you appreciate the art style and the emotions connected to the songs

the Tokyo ghoul opening gets everyone by surprise when they first start watching

Hello, I'm a Japanese who loves western music and anime! I've been watching your channel for a few months now, and I was so surprised and happy to see you react to anime songs👀 I'm looking forward to watching more of your reaction to anime openings! Love from 🇯🇵 p.s. My English is not very good, so I'm sorry if I came off as weird or offensive😢

the first opening to "fullmetal alchemist : brotherhood" definetly has to be one of my favorite of all time i would also recommend the second opening of "attack on titan" for a badass feeling as well as the opening for "violet evergarden" for a more emotional one

Love how you watched a bunch of the most dramatic, emotional, dark and hype inducing OPs out there.... and then ended with Sailor Moon. Don't get me wrong, the Eng ver still randomly pops into my head even to this day, but it's such a 180 from what you started with 🤣

As an artist that loves anime, I can tell you there is so much work put into anime. Everything from the color choices, to the character design, anime drawing style, backgrounds, and music is all carefully chosen to bring about the feel and themes of the anime. That’s what I love about anime, the bring together of all different types of art to create and new piece that’s just as wonderful to watch

I HIGHLY recommend checking out the first Soul Eater opening- gorgeous animation and a banger of a song. D.Gray-Man's first and second openings are a favorite of mine as well. Ouran Highschool Host Club is a cheesy comedy that has a fun and classic opening as well.

I love how much he enjoyed Unravel. It was so nostalgic, took me back to the first time I heard it and I could not stop loving it.

0:58 - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - Gurenge 4:30 - Tokyo Ghoul - Unravel 8:13 - My Hero Academia - The Day 11:36 - Jujutsu Kaisen - Kaikai Kitan 15:09 - Sailor Moon - Moonlight Densetsu / Heart Moving

Been watching anime for like, oh I don't know, over half my life at this point. Watching your reactions videos now, and honestly, seeing how someone who actually understands music lose it watching these openings and giving an accurate explanation of why they're so awesome, it's given me a newfound appreciation of these openings, and I already loved them to begin with

I'm surprised no one's talking about the opening song of given. This song is energetic but so painful when you're aware of what the lyrics mean. I highly recommend that you react to the full song

Anime openings, especially in shonen, tend to be very energetic and catchy in order to entice viewers. Especially the latest ones. They've perfected the key to make them work.

You can literally see the moment he gets hooked😂

7:10 'im gonna be occupied for the rest of my life' damn he right

I'd definitely suggest reacting to the first opening from Banana fish, "found & lost". It's one of my favorites and it's so underrated!

It's how fast i clicked 😭 ain't even finished watching it but you should definitely listen to more, there are some true gems out there. Listen to endings too!!

Pink Blood from "To Your Eternity" is literally art and the feeling you get from the op matched so good with the feeling you have while watching this drama Anime... really recommend this show, for people who likes to suffer.

this literally makes me so damn happy!! i love the reactions of people who don’t watch anime reacting to the visual or the music of anime, it’s just so amazing

You should watch demon slayer IMMEDIATELY the storyline, the animation,the characters Everything IS AMAZING You should also react to all attack on titan openings and watch the show if you haven't yet

My son recently got me into Anime with Attack on Titan and Tokyo Ghoul. Would love to see you react to Attack on Titan - the theme songs for that are incredible.

Just found you, and I love how you analyze these based on feeling and sound. For an older emotional piece I would recommend “Regret” GACKT and Kami duet. These artists were huge in the 90s and early 2000s, and the power of this song is amazing.

i laugh and smile everytime i see someone hearing tokyo ghoul's unravel for the first time. expecting to see that similar emotion and the satisfaction it gives em every single time. never fails arguably, but easily one of the best anime openings ever made.

Reaction Timestamps and the OPs (For the people who's looking for one specific opening like I was): 0:58 - Gurenge (From Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer Season 1) 4:08 - Unravel (From Tokyo Ghoul) 8:00 - ODD FUTURE (From Boku No Hero Academia/My Hero Academy Season 3) 11:26 - Kaikai Kittan (From Jujutsu Kaisen) 14:58 - Moonlight Densetsu(From Sailor Moon) 18:16 - Nicholas slowly falling into anime hell (From Nicholas Light TV)

The Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure openings are amazing,the show is also littered with music references, a lot of the characters or named after classic rock bands or albums or songs so it’s really fun to watch out for that stuff.

I have never seen someone enjoy anime as much as u and the way u express it rejuvenates our enjoyment too.

Your honest reactions really put a smile on my face. I watched anime my whole life, and you know, anime is looked at like a lame thing. But your reactions and opinions really makes me glad And yes, Demon slayer is good anime, Def good for people who have never watch either. And Tokyo ghoul is the emo song of anime

His ability to understand exactly what's going on just by seeing a shot from the opening is amazing.

Honestly, such amazing assortment of openings you've gathered. Some of the best of all time. Perfect reaction too. You gave enough attention to both the visuals and music and were very accepting to a medium you haven't ever consumed. Here are some iconic recommendations based on your taste: Attack on Titan OP 1 (and 2 & 3 if you have the time) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OP 1 (Also probably the first anime you should watch) Naruto Shippuden OP 16 (and OP 6 ) Black Clover OP 3 (and 10) Mob Psycho 100 OP 1 (and 2) Cowboy Bebop OP The Promised Neverland OP 1 Fire Force OP 1 Dr. Stone OP 1 Dororo OP 1 Death Parade OP Noragami Aragoto OP Kokkoku OP Flashback Kiznaiver OP Neon Genesis Evangelion OP Your Lie in April OP 1 (Don't know if the last 2 are your taste, but they're fan favorites... as well as mine) ... and obviously a ton more.

Nicholas I gotta say that I'm so proud of you for where you've come...I remember watching you from wayyyy back then when you had 50k subs and going through struggles of life. Man this is so wholesome... I hope you're doing great and keep up with the great upload.. - Love and positive Vibes, Nishi and the OG fam ❤🤗

your reactions are honest and really entertaining to watch. I can feel your enjoyment and it's positively great. your years of doing music really shows on how you can breakdown cadence and tones. and what feels. you just got another sub👍🔥

As a longtime anime fan, it's awesome to see someone with a platform like yours doing reactions like this because people don't realize sometimes how incredible the music and animation in anime really is! You picked some fantastic ones to start with! Thank you for such a great video!

Hearing Sailor Moon's theme song just made me feel so incredibly warm! It's still one of my favorite anime after all these years. Oh fun fact, idk if you know Hunter X Hunter but the creator of that anime and the creator of Sailor Moon are married!

I can't believe how far you've come it brings a tear to my eye seeing you grow from the start and how you've grown in terms of content recently and i will enjoy watching you grow even more can't wait for the wedding all love to you and live

5:14 that chair is iconic if you ever watch tokyo ghoul s1 then you will know why that's the chair which changed everything .

looooooooved this!!!! you should do the COWBOY BEBOP and EVANGELION ones, epic classics!

When he admitted himself he thought weebs were lame but immediately fell in love with anime just speaks for itself :) we got another on boat my fellow jeagarists!!

i wish people who liked the first JJK op would check out Eve and everything he makes because honestly.. we were so excited when we found out he was making that but literally EVERYTHING else he’s made is absolutely amazing

feels like yesterday that i saw this video in my recommended and was happy to have a new reaction channel to watch. now we here.

Sailor Moon has the same theme song for the first four seasons, but the animation is switched up a few times each season as characters are added and the story changes. The final sequences for Season 1 and Season 3 are my faves. The imagery is just insane.

If you end up watching Jujutsu Kaisen, I recommend paying attention to every little detail of the opening because things change/are added as the season progresses. Really cool to catch those details!

Watching reactions to anime openings and amv's by people who have never seen anime brings me so much joy. To see the excitement in other people is amazing.

Love the energy u put out, completely changed my mood today thnx!

90's opening and ending themes were iconic and uniquely composed for each show. Sailor Moon, DBZ, Evangelion, Escaflowne, The Slayers, Rurouni Kenshin, Fushigi Yuugi, Gundam Wing (TWO-MIX ruled)...the list goes on. But any anime fan of that decade can often sing those themes on a dime.

First one. “Gurenge” by LiSA. Amazing Japanese solo artist. She did a first take of this song on the “First Take” channel. She’s such an amazing singer.

And thus, nicholas began his anime adventure

Been here where it all started. Feels good to see all of the others then coming back here after few months

Unravel is a masterpiece. You enjoy it even if you don't know what it's saying or what Tokyo Ghoul is about, and when you know the English lyrics and have seen the anime, you get attached to the song. Same with Katharsis, to a smaller extent. Now he's got me rehooked on the Jonathan Young Cover of Tokyo Ghoul.

timestampsssssssss 0:58 - demon slayer 4:30 - tokyo ghoul 8:12 - my hero academia 11:35 - jujutsu kaisen 15:08 - sailor moon

*Anime isn't just "an anime" or else it wouldn't have impacted so many people, connect, even brighten us, the community that has formed around this is something to behold. Thank you to the people who write manga and anime you've truly touched many of our hearts and have carved a legacy for many to remember. Its not just an anime.. its a teacher, its a lesson, its a motivator, and its something that helps you become who you want to be, its a booster in learning your path and if you try to tell me otherwise ill tell you thats your opinion, this is mine*

This is the first content I've seen of yours. It's so cool seeing you discover and fall in love with anime, then basically turn into an anime reaction channel!

Sailor moon was my obsession as a kid and I still love it to pieces. The opening is bomb in English but INCREDIBLE in Japanese. All the seasons’ have different animations - and the final season has the Sailor Star song which is CHEFS KISS.

I gotta put in a vote to have you check out the "Rise of the Shield Hero", "Yuri On Ice" and "Goblin Slayer", openings, if not the shows themselves. Three of my favorite openings of all time.

You've genuinely reignited my passion for anime. By breaking me of my jaded 'take it for granted' attitude for beautiful artistic ideas just because I've seen something similar. The first time I saw the Jujitsu Kaisen intro I thought, "well whatever I've seen better." But seeing you genuinely taken aback and in awe of the idea of a panda man feeling haunted by the notion of accepting he's not a normal panda, or glasses that move over the viewers eyes showing a Japanese monster like a window into a sub-reality, or the camera parallax of a panorama shot of a man in a mask in the atmospheric light of a city at night. It all suddenly clicked again like when I first started watching anime. That all these wacky or extremely artistically indulgent moment are beautiful, and aren't just a rehash of previous ideas, but a window into the creative minds and artistic mastery of their passionate creators. I watched you play it back and point these things out, and got chills remembering how I used to feel about anime, how it used to excite and surprise me. All that wonder and amazement was given back to me today, at least for a moment. I truly thank you for helping me remember what it feels like to love anime. Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts, and being so innocently amazed, not to sound awkward, but it was honestly so refreshing it changed the way I thought, and its worth mentioning. I wish you the best of luck and will definitely highly recommend this video to my friends.

Its crazy to think that his anime journey started almost a year ago, and it began right here. Proud asf right now

I highly recommend you watch Violet Evergarden! People judge it cause its a slower anime and call it boring, but its super emotional. The animation, music, and story are amazing and beautiful. It's probs my favorite anime.

I'm surprised DeathNote wasn't on the list. both opening and ending songs were amaaazing. I hope you check it out. YuYu Hakusho is also an oldie but goodie. Dubbed or subbed version doesn't matter. It always hits the nostalgia bone. Half the reason i got into anime is because i stumbled on the intro to Inuyasha i think it was, and the music reeled me in.

Ah, the nostalgia... I just wanted to listen to some anime music, so I decided to check this again. Keep it up, Nick!

I love how you feel it, how you really connect and feel with the music, great video 😁

the Evangelion "cruel angel's thesis" is great to listen to. would recommend. edit: the op is short but good, also the full length version is very good two more notes I guess it is an oldy but a classic. Also that Demon Slayer (of the first op you watched) is a great one for people just getting into anime. other than that thank you for a good video :)

It's damn interesting that even a person who has never watched anime notices how Jujutsu Kaisen and Kimetsu no Yaiba stand out in terms of visuals from others. After all, these are really two anime that literally set a new bar for the visual. Showing how you can make animation really cool.

I can't believe that he was so calm back then and now he is so badass.

It's a pleasure to see someone who enjoys sound mixed with visuals so much.

My cheeks hurt from smiling when it comes to Sailor Moon op theme. That was my exact reaction when I first heard it when I was a little kid. The haunted bell ringing used to shake me to the bone lol! Now listening it back almost brings me to tears, oh the nostalgia!

I would love to see you react to any anime’s, especially older ones. If you start to watch anime, you might wanna look up Japanese rock, pop, and vocaloid music because it is the staple of Japanese culture. Welcome Nicholas, to the Japanese Anime Rabbit hole

Been reacting to your anime reactions just recently and it’s amazing to see where it started! Fucking dope af

his reactions make me smile! You have such amazing vibes!!!!

Anime is legit one of the most expressive forms of art and entertainment. You can quite literally create things that don't exist in the natural world. Its a beautiful thing.

You should do more of these it was fun. I recommend Black Butler, Death Note, and Kakegurui

Mate, I just found this channel and your reaction were so bloody authentic that made me very emotional keep up, mate

bro i watched you for 2 minutes and i already knew that i would binge all of your videos. keep up the great content!

Sailor moon is classic from the 90s. My literal childhood. They also did Sailor Moon Crystal which the animation style is different and it’s more based on the manga but both are amazing. And the characters are badass and adorable. lol.

You're a true musician, you can predict the anime's entire vibe by the opener alone. You're goated!!

I come back to this video once a month to remember how your journey started 😂😂😂 I subbed to you around the time you released this video… wow man such a long journey. Keep it goin you are the best 🔥

nice to see how his descent into madness started

Definitely feel like a video on just the Attack on Titan intro's alone would be amazing, those songs (just like the show itself) are fucking gold
