“the WORLD” - Nightmare
Death Note

oh… YUH. i wonder if anyone thought we’d get here. y’all lemme know. this intro tells the story of Light, how he got to where he was, and what he will become

Ryuk takes God’s place in the Creation of Adam parody, handing Light the forbidden fruit (Death Note)

man oh man. this is the ultimate Surrealist, Dadaist, absurdist itch scratcher for me 🙂‍↕️ MP100 is already an anime that’s a lot deeper than the surface level and this intro is no different

there’s a lot of symbolism directly related to Mob, his mental state, and

first and foremost, RIP Nujabes. secondly, we getting into top tier shit! this intro gotta single-handledly be one of the best ways to establish the story/characters of a show with visuals alone

i need to take my talents elsewhere

dissecting things within 300 character limits is actually mental gymnastics

Light is walking atop skyscrapers; displaying moral superiority before he even takes a bite

while intentions appear noble, the red that accompanies him portrays his malice.

even when reaching out to Misa, his eyes are covered… further solidifying who he truly is

11/10 visual storytelling

the plot of the show.

there’s actually a video that may better explain this than i but i’ll speak on a symbol: the egg, it cracking, and a later scene of Mob in fetal

eggs = birth, the beginning. the crack? death. the fetal = birth but also fear

of what he has created and become

from the wild eyes and fierce colors, you know he’s eccentric in comparison to…

Jin: cool, calm, deadly. serious expression. sharp sword slashes. muted cool colors create visual contrast between him/Mugen

Fuu: cute curious colors along with ditziness… she’s the foil to them both

10/10. no notes

this my all time favorite anime so it had to get an honorable mention. there's no symbolism or nothing that i can break down within the visuals. i'm solely sharing because it's my fav. thank you for understanding!

"Snow fairy" - Funkist

i will NOT be explaining anything about this intro. i am actually not a fan of this anime even tho i watched a large portion of it during my youth.

nostalgia holds me captive tho so, in good faith, i will post as an honorable. plus... the shit is good 😌

top 3 anime and its not 3, argue w ya moms about it. the song alone boosted it above the others for me if we keeping it a bean.. they was in the STU cheffing. the visuals are pretty self-explanatory tho but the lyrics??? lets dissect
