Bruh, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten misty eyed at an OP before.
The first minute with her party was beautiful.

海外のナナシさん

It’s the closest the we can get of their mere 10 year adventure

Edit: I just realized after rewatching this beautiful OP a few more times.
The quick cuts of Himmel party’s adventure represents Frieren perspective of it like it was just that damn quick for her??
No im not crying !

海外のナナシさん

My wife just came in and asked me why my eyes were red.

海外のナナシさん

Same. The friggin OP makes me cry, dang it.

Love how it tells the story of her finding connection, losing connection, being alone, then finding it again.
And they did such a wonderful job with the use of color to do so, and timing it all with the beats from the music.

Edit: Again with the next rewatch. Tears.
Right at the part when the warm summer colors burst forth with the flowers.
The notion that endings aren’t always the end. Oof.

海外のナナシさん

Nothing will beat inferno for best apple song
but this one is still a banger

海外のナナシさん

yeah this is not a bad apple song

海外のナナシさん

not a bad apple
You have alterted the horde

海外のナナシさん

BAD APPLE

海外のナナシさん

Why are there shadow figures all of a sudden?!

海外のナナシさん

I’m pretty partial to Lilac but I have to agree that
Inferno is a generational banger.

海外のナナシさん

Kusushiki exist though

海外のナナシさん

Yeah this is great but Inferno is an all timer for me.
Regardless of my opinion on Fire Force.

海外のナナシさん

Beautiful. It’s Frieren Friday finally!

海外のナナシさん

Blue, yellow, purple, and red petals on her hand representing our main 4 party members. Sein is absolutely absent in this OP tho big sad.

Like the flashes of flashbacks in this OP. They went by so damn fast which is probably similar to how Frieren experiences it.

海外のナナシさん

Spotify recommended this song to me a few days ago and I thought “damn this song reminds me of Frieren”

Imagine my delight when I found out soon after it’s actually the S2 OP.

Haru will always be my favorite Frieren OP, but this is a close second.

海外のナナシさん

3/3 on the openings

海外のナナシさん

I just realized, I got JJK, Frieren, and Fate for 3 consecutive days every week. My eyes are gonna be so blessed, it’s been a while since this last happened. Something to look forward to after work at the tail end of the week.

海外のナナシさん

holy peak

海外のナナシさん

Not the biggest fan of the song, I’d probably prefer it with 50% less falsetto.

海外のナナシさん

Funny cause I thought it was only alright until the falsetto really set in.

海外のナナシさん

I too think it was only alright until that. The falsetto didn’t make it better for me, though. Same in the full track, the last chorus or bridge or whichever part with the prolonged falsetto crescendoing lost me.

海外のナナシさん

not at Mrs. Green Apple landing OPs for Apothecary Diaries and Frieren! How did they do it? Are they handpicked? Bid themselves? or something? These anime are huge HUGE!

same with Lilas/Yoasobi tho.

海外のナナシさん

i think its quite easy for Mrs Green Apple, they are the most popular band in Japan.

Either they get asked, or they ask and automatically get it.

海外のナナシさん

Yeah, having a popular group/singer doing opening/ending is just “free” promotion for the series.

All the fans will be interested in it. So more people are made aware of it, that feeds a content loop for popularity.

Just like how the right art trend, the right meme that explode in popularity can just boost a series.

(Like that Frieren Looking Up Meme/drawing challenge we got recently. It’s silly, but people liked it, and took it on a trip.)

海外のナナシさん

Mrs. Green Apple blew up super hard in the past few years.

Like it’s not a exaggeration to say they’re at the top right now even over King Gnu and Official Hige Dandism.

海外のナナシさん

I swear, i first heard these guys in Fire force way way back and i was like “oh new band. Cool! I will be watching out for them”.

Fast forward to earlier this year. On the jp billboards they took like 7 of the top 10 spots. I was genuinely so shocked! They really popped off! Very happy for them.

海外のナナシさん

I still think those two are bigger, because their hits are more spread out outside of anime.

海外のナナシさん

All 3 bands are amazing with slightly different target audiences. But those 2 bands are nowhere as big as MGA as of now in terms of popularity, exposure, and demand.

海外のナナシさん

Nah if you follow Japan Billboard you can see MGA is the most popular band in the recent 2-3 years.

海外のナナシさん

If I recall correctly from an interview, Madhouse basically asked Ohmori Motoki to make the opening and they’ll take whatever he makes (with some minimal parameters probably). Him being a fan of Frieren helps alot in this case as you can actually feel the song along with the visuals.

I could be wrong but if my memory serves me well.
TLDR MGA was asked to make the opening.

海外のナナシさん

They are incredibly popular in Japan, like ludicrously so. They probably either just asked because of that or can ask anyone and they’ll likely say yes lol.

海外のナナシさん

Well for starters both shows have similar production committees, lead by Toho and with NTV on there too, so I guess Yorushika OP for Apothecary Season 3? I mean they’ve been passing off artists to each other so far, why stop now, right?

Definitely someone at Toho who’s a fan of them, but also at least their lead vocalist is a Frieren fan (posted on twitter almost two years ago how he binge read the manga, also like a day before the reveal that they were doing the OP dude was posing as Himmel on twitter… not even being subtle about it, lol), so you can see how that would all connect and make this collaboration happen.

海外のナナシさん

This is without a doubt the best opening of the season for me, Mrs Green apple while im not a fan of some of their songs absolutely did NOT miss.

The opening fits Frieren’s tone and atmosphere so well

Visually it looks beautiful as well.

海外のナナシさん

This is one of my favorites from Mrs. Green Apple. Kusushiki grew on me slowly but this song is already a banger.

海外のナナシさん

Again, beautiful visual and song that complements it well. Although song-wise I personally still prefer Sentenced To Be A Hero OP this season.

Storyboarded and directed by Tomoya Kitagawa, the director.

Full song has been released. Spotify | Official Music Video

(Personal note: I think this is the first time I’ve seen you posting OP/ED instead of key visuals and PVs. At least since I joined this sub.)

海外のナナシさん

This song is such a Frieren song, if that makes sense.

海外のナナシさん

This is the best Frieren OP so far, it’s so majestic.

ミセスが合わんという意見もちらほらありますが、大半は合うという感じですな。
