G&C Podcast - Episode 157: Discussing Our Top 10 Favorite Anime Intros!

[00:00:00] The singer Masiuki, he has this big like almost like Sinatra-esque voice where he's just

[00:00:13] like very strong and like- It's very big bandfides.

[00:00:16] Like the songs are very much like Sinatra.

[00:00:20] They remind me of like a modern Sinatra.

[00:00:22] Like that's, I love them.

[00:00:24] They're so good.

[00:00:25] Yeah.

[00:00:26] And all his themes are super good. We're just in the Staunger podcast at this point. But anyways guys, thanks for joining us as we discuss the games that Shave does. So, how you been? Well Phil, I've only talked to you about five minutes ago when we recorded the Let's podcast,

[00:01:45] so thanks a backup drink. And it is the one and only Poland Springs water bottle. There's no nutritional

[00:03:02] facts on it. But don't forget this episode is we're gonna be talking about our top 10 favorite anime intros.

[00:04:23] And anime intros honestly have become like memes on TikTok, like the Thomas the Tank Engine intro.

[00:05:44] Yeah.

[00:05:45] So we just, we just make it cursed.

[00:05:48] Yeah.

[00:06:43] Kind of like how we've done with our, you know, anime countdowns before you stuff.

[00:06:44] So we're going to go from do some honorable mentions and then

[00:06:49] we'll go our number ones.

[00:06:51] Yes.

[00:06:53] All right.

[00:06:53] So my number 10, um, this was tough because there was a lot of

[00:06:58] intros I really love and I was trying to keep them down.

[00:07:00] Like my honorable mentions might raise some eyebrows, honestly.

[00:07:05] Okay.

[00:08:06] like Tomru on a stroll with all her other friends and it's like you like it's it very much fits the vibe of the show. It's both positive but also melodramatic and it fits the tone very well.

[00:08:14] Yeah. So I threw it in at number 10. Nice. What was your number 10? My number 10 was

[00:08:21] Limit Break Survivor by Yoshi Hikawa which is McGurro mono by a Takuma. Um, it's, it's funny with the slime intro is like, you know all of them. You just can't remember. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I know them. And if I heard them, I'd be like, Oh, that's from slime. But I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what they were. Yeah. It's, it's good though. I'd they, the artists that they got to do them did a very good job.

[00:11:02] So what do you have for number nine?

[00:12:03] And I feel like when you can just automatically be like

[00:12:09] Like it comes right to your head. You're like, okay, like that. This is a good pop. So this was this is probably

[00:12:12] One of my favorite one piece intros

[00:12:16] Yeah, so wow at number nine. I

[00:12:20] Will say like I love the one piece intros, but like not

[00:12:28] One not all of them on Spotify which kind of sucks and then I don't listen to them as much because I just I don't have is Kara No Kokoro by Anli, which is the final opening for Naruto Shippuden. Okay, I might have that. It's the intro that played during the final segment of the show where it was after... Were they were adults?

[00:13:41] So it was after the time skip. It was kind of like that the show had So what's your number eight Alex? My number eight is bloody stream by coda, which is a Jojo's Bazaar and sure part two intro

[00:16:01] such a funky fun Bob.

[00:16:04] Nice.

[00:16:05] Yes.

[00:16:11] So my number seven, this is a very well known recent one is kickback by Kenxi Yungzu from Chainsaw Man.

[00:16:15] Okay.

[00:16:16] This intro, you hear the bass and you're just hooked from there. It's like the do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, the vibe of the show. It just scares you because it's like a scream when it starts. Yeah, it is like a scream and like, it fits the vibe of the show. One of my favorite things about the intro is when

[00:17:42] there's like a scene of Nikaido and she's making Gyoza, Yeah, no, by far. We'll be hearing more from them probably in the next episode we're going to be doing if you could take a guess what that is. Yeah, so now going on to number six. My number six, speaking of Baridow, is over by Little Glee Monster. It is the second opening for Naruto and this song is way catchier just what the intros can be. Yeah. Yeah. It's like it's straight up an anime intro that makes you want to dance. That's how hard it goes. Yeah. So what's your number six, Alex? My number six is Wild Side by Ali or Ali.

[00:20:23] It's ALI.

[00:20:24] So Ali or Ali.

[00:20:25] And that's actually the Beast you listen to the full song I actually like it more like there's more build up to it. It just makes the ending so much more enjoyable

[00:21:41] Not totally. Yeah, like I love I love the ones Alchemist Brotherhood. It is, so the Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood intro's got a little all over the place. Some of them are really hype. Some of them are kind of more mellow. This one I think is like, it's a perfect representation for like where it is in the show's narrative. It's like the final one. So it's like, this is the climax of the show

[00:23:00] and it has a really good like,

[00:23:02] just like the way it kind of gets you and do it every episode.

[00:23:04] You're like, yeah, this is it.

[00:23:06] Like we're finally getting there. bring in those classic Western elements that are in, that are in the Try Gun series. Like the in the original intro to Try Gun is very much like Western-y and it kind of brings that elements, but it also is incorporating the more like almost cyberpunk aspects that the new series has. It's just a very the line. It's really good. And I think too, like especially kind of what I was talking about, I talked about B-stars earlier, I didn't really vibe with it at first. I thought it was kind of like a little too like jarringly different. But after my second rewatch of the series, like it is so hype. Like it just

[00:27:02] like it's like kicks you right from the start. It's like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

[00:28:03] But man, does this one just get you excited in the show? Because like, literally the start of it is just Sid just like bellowing out this amazing

[00:28:10] vocal and you're just, you're hooked immediately.

[00:28:13] And it's so upbeat and fun and like, it fits the show so well.

[00:28:18] Like, and I will say like, the other, none of the other, so big no there. But, hey, we'll have the, we'll have the, so this is a good one to watch on YouTube because then you can have Spotify open and listen along as you watch on YouTube. Well, and definitely we'll have the playlist included as we said earlier. Okay, so my number three was the hardest one

[00:29:42] to choose on this entire list.

[00:29:43] All right.

[00:29:45] And you'll know why because it is Love Is Show go so hard. Like the singer Masayuki, he like has this big like kind of like almost like Sinatra Escobar, where he's just like very strong. It's very big band vibes. Like the songs are very much like Sinatra. It's very, they remind me of like a modern Sinatra. Like that's, I love them., but so chainsaw man intro. It's a ball. I was maniacally yelling at Bill when he never re-stipped it. I would scream at him in utter rage of how dare he skip this intro because it was like

[00:32:20] a ball.

[00:32:21] I loved how the production for the song, just in general. I didn't realize it was going to be this high though. And after going through the list, I really realized how much I like this song, but it is Cura Cura by Otto, which is the introduction for spy family season two.

[00:34:42] All of the Spy Family intros are like super hype. Like the first one by Mix Nuts is really good.

[00:34:45] The one by Pumpa Chicken is also excellent.

[00:34:47] This one though, it just goes so hard.

[00:34:49] Like in the animation of the intro itself really

[00:34:53] is part of the reason why.

[00:34:54] Cause it just, it fits the wacky nature of the show so well.

[00:34:58] And I fucking love it.

[00:35:00] I can't wait for Alex to hear like the watch it.

[00:35:02] Cause she'll, she's, she's gonna get it.

[00:35:05] Yeah. I haven't listened to it already.

[00:35:07] And it is too because like I love the last intro to grandeur. Of course, it's not on Spotify There's a good pretty good cover by I think Nordics or Someone's come I don't know who's covered, but they have on my playlist and it's good like okay It's covering for now, but paint it black is just like it's that one where it's like I

[00:36:21] Like well, I always go back on the playlist and listen to it. It's so good

[00:37:25] It was tough. It was tough just even doing the honorable mentions like it was not fair. And some of my the five I picked honestly are probably gonna raise some eyebrows.

[00:37:30] I'm not gonna lie um but I don't really care because this is my list.

[00:37:36] I do what I fucking want. Yes um so my five honorable mentions we're not gonna go super

[00:37:44] deep into these we're gonna just kind of give maybe a brief explanation. Yeah.

[00:38:41] That's kind of nice to have. You've probably heard it a few times on my playlist.

[00:38:43] It rocks really hard.

[00:38:46] This one's a shout out to our buddy Slade.

[00:38:49] It's a specials by King Ganoo from Jiu Jitsu guys

[00:38:52] in season two.

[00:38:53] It's so cute.

[00:38:55] You are my spare shoe.

[00:38:57] Dee dee dee dee.

[00:38:58] I haven't watched it yet and I've already heard

[00:39:00] that intro so much.

[00:39:02] I just like the vibe it goes.

[00:39:04] Yeah.

[00:39:06] Yeah, Iang it. Like it hooks you right in. And it's funny because like I think it even starts they're all like in this dance pose which is not the show not The peak it just it fits so it's really the animation in this intro is so

[00:41:46] beautiful and it's after so it's like the intro for kind of disappointing, which sucks, but but the intro is bomb because Yeah, the the show it's a little disappointing just cuz uh it really didn't do the Monwa Justice, but hey the intro is a bomb. So at least we got that

[00:43:01] And then my last one completely different from all the other ones, but I adore this intro

[00:44:04] So this was hard for me because it was between Black Rover and Black Catcher. Yep. I assume when you didn't put a Black Clover one on there, I was like,

[00:44:09] oh, Black Clover gonna be his number one. Like I was, I was kind of waiting.

[00:44:14] So yeah. So I initially wanted to do Black Catcher and it was close, but Black Rover

[00:44:23] is just so much more high.

[00:44:24] So much height. They're so bad. include one of them and it was so hard to pick between those two. I'm glad that one of the shows I made you watch is in your top 10. Yeah, it's grown on. I listened to it unironically because it's just such a good bop. And it's just so fun to watching it because um there's like one scene where it's like a

[00:47:03] rumour and then all of the misfit class and his friends and they're all just doing this little No one wants to listen to them. It's not even that they all suck. Like, grip is okay, but grip is just kind of... It's fine. Like, in... Inuyasha has better outros. I will say that. Yeah, I can confirm the outros for Inuyasha are so much better in some of them iconic. I'll say, like, the best Inuyasha intro is the intro for the final act,

[00:48:23] which is the only intro that Duas Infinity did.

[00:48:27] Yep. outros are very different from intros in a lot of ways. Oh yeah. And this is really fun. I definitely love to kind of like when we talk the last time maybe do this with some other friends in the future too and maybe revisit this because as we know more shows come out and the music only gets better and better each year. Definitely. Yeah. So yeah. But anyways guys once again thanks for joining us on
