⏩ Video Question: So has Chainsaw Man made you want to play the electric bass yet??? 👀
For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
Less goo was waiting for this video
YES!! i'm literally gonna go look for a bass next week. i'm excited
The drop you were asking what Genre is was: The thing it sounds most like to me is Breakcore. Definitely a VERY chaotic Genre. Cured my ADHD (joke but also not really you can research breakcore for yourself, too much to go into)
no
Yeah, the band Maximum Hormone hasn't released al album or single in quite a while, so most of their more recent songs being used for either commercials or anime themes are only that, they don't have a full version yet.
If we were to wait for an album release to get the full version, then we really might be waiting for quite a long time.
I am Japanese, and when I first heard this song, I laughed. It is a very hormone song. The lyrics in the middle of the song made me laugh out loud at the Japanese onomatopoeia that describes the blood and flesh splattering into a mess. Of course, coolness is the underlying laughter.
👀 woah that is extreme
it does make me grin because it fits Painsaw Man so well
Haha what a BASED comment
Yeah it's just incredibly Hormone
Yeah! I've been a fan of the band since they started. The moment I saw the end like the first 5 seconds I was like "ooop Hormone". This is totally them. Especially the shift at the end!
The first time I couldn't even understand what I was listening to. Now, after hearing it again and again so much it sounds two-hundred-million times better. :)
it really is one of these songs where you're not entirely convinced the first time you hear it, but after 2 or 3 times you're a huge fan lmao
i like the reference to the song name
@@Gab22. it's definitely one of the songs, maybe ever
@@Gab22. and here I am loving it from the first time I listened
There's so many hidden messages in chainsaw man
This is my favorite Japanese band they are called Maximum the Hormone. They did the 2nd Death Note opening which you should check out at some point. They are commonly described as the Japanese System of a Down which is an appropriate title but they have influences from multiple other bands such as Tool, RHCP and Pantera. They like to cycle through multiple genres of music within their songs and they do a good job of it. The bassist is a huge Flea fan so their bass work on songs are really well done
they did the 2nd Ending for Death Note too
@@daverboy IIRC, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure they also did the second death note op
@@pokejeenios yup, that's what was said in the comment I was replying to
I had the honour to organize a live concert with MTH, I worked as a promoter and I have some of the best memories with them I ever had with any other musicians working as a music manager and promoter.
They were 2 days in my city, we had lunch out and so much fun, REALLY. They were superb and super funny. I became an instant fan from then, that was A LONG time ago, I'm talking maybe... 8 years ago?
It was in Barcelona - Spain.
What’s Up, People?!
It's good.
I've found enjoyment in analyzing these songs with you. I've never been one to truly sit there and digest what I've heard, picking apart the small details of songs. I've only liked the sounds of some songs and disliked others on a general level. Thanks for these videos, love them.
Same, since i started watching tony i have been listening to music differently
because i have no background in music alot of the times i have no idea what he is talking about but either way its really fun
Same here
Same for me, I have always tried to pick out what I like about music but I don’t know enough to accurately do so. Tony really breaks it down so well and I love seeing his reactions to this stuff I like also. His is probably my favorite channel I’ve found this year!
Yeah, It helps to be more open minded to music you don't necessarily like and recognize that It can still be interesting to study or take a closer look into the details.
I'm glad you are liking them
He captured the Makima moment perfectly, he's really the MUSIC DIRECTOR!
Yeah i love this dude's review so much, unlike other youtubers that doesn't give any value other than generic "reaction"
@@galaxiaplayz425 It doesn't even have to be from the musicians' perspective. Literally, just give me some interesting commentary instead of a fake laugh and smile.
@GalaxiaPLAYZ It is a known fact that most reactors are either hella lazy or just making loud noises to keep the kids glued. It’s both entertaining and refreshing to see someone give more, like Tony gives the viewer to watch both the original AND his video which is very nice
I thought the saaaame
She is Control Devil Afterall
of Course this show is her Soap Opera
as an anime only viewer this is my interpretation of this Ending:
1st Part: what the main protagonist had gone through
2nd Part: his transformation
3rd Part: met the one that changed his life
4th Part: how he is currently
I agree with everything you put here, with just one small addition.
The outro brings us back to the driving bass riff of the first part, with a guttural scream that suggests a build up back to the second part. Taking the themes you used, it's like a foreshadowing that his life is going to follow these four emotional states that the song described up to this point.
Granted, I'm an anime only as well, so no idea if this is where the story will actually go, but it's definitely a very emotive shape described through the style of the song.
Good interpretation, but as a manga reader..... that's not exactly accurate...
That doesn't count as a spoiler right?
I think it could also just be how insane and demonic he is when he fights someone but then Makima calms him down you know
@@LibeliumDragonfly i think its fairly accurate to the manga tbh, with a little more specificity.
-1st Part: the the frustration of living in uncertainty
-2nd Part: excitement and chaos of transformation and a new begining
-3rd Part: being rescued, finding clarity and a new purpose
-4th Part: excitement of living a new life with clarity and pursuing said new purpose
and the last one is a spoiler
...
...
...
-5th Part: slow breakdown and build up to the return of the 1st Part and everything it symbolizes
As a person who read the manga, yeah seems like it and I think this applies to the whole story itself. Which now I’m realizing the first episode really is like the entire story holy(obviously not the entire thing but 98% of it)
Love the breakcore elements in this song. It was a treat to see that this song affects Tony as much as it does the non-musically inclined listener.
YEP I listen to breakcore often and I instantly listened back to that 11 second section many times
yeah I instantly recognized that breakcore, awesome
pretty sure my heartbeat spiked when i heard the amen break
I love breakcore so when I had that part I got that much more hype than I already was.
Is this really breakcore
I love that these OPs and EDs are often "chopped up" to fit the chainsaw theme, this song is no exception with so many drastic shifts in style and tempo change.
More about capturing the manga feeling than the general idea of a fights with chainsaws lol the manga itself has a very deliberately rough and chaotic nature
The cahinsaw man ones wherre specifically commisioned for the series. In fact this one does not have any sort of full version, that was the whole song.
Nah, this is maximum's style, their songs are like this
@@yimlife7195 you know that mappa was picking these types of artists for this reason right
@@Nihlm2 duh, of course. But still, its not just about chainsaw, its still maximum's style
As someone who read the manga, it definitely feels like the course of the track is reflective of the course of the story. Without getting too specific, it has a lot of tonal shifts that are very sudden. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to channel the various different tonal feelings of the story and put it into musical form.
I completely agree.
Spoilers from here I guess (minor, just discussing the general progression)
The beginning perfectly represents the ominous feeling of denji pretty much growing up with a devil, and then the transition to denji’s life at the first part of the manga, just senseless, angry violence. Then there’s a brief moment of semi-peace, or at least happiness in his personal life, and then that last verse is so reminiscent of common anime openings during a revenge/war arc, which applies well to the end of part one.
Lol i can guess how the plot twists feel cuz i read fire punch
6:46 I love how he stop perfectly before the theme change
Well he is a musician, he knows his timings & structure😅
for me this is not first time he listen it
As a fan of the original manga I really enjoyed how much the different parts of this song represent the overarcing story of Chainsaw Man, as it goes from chaos to a short devine feeling and ends with a very energetic part and some great lyrics that really describe the 3 main characters of the series.
It is definitely a merge of metal, breakcore and jpop and It's masterfully composed I'd say
Maximum the Hormone is absolutely amazing. Fun fact: the drummer is the female vocalist. Watching them play live is stunning.
At this point I'm hoping that we'll at least get full version this year.
they did the Record of Ragnarok opening and that shit still got no full version lmao
@@captainrayman1815 lol
@@captainrayman1815 why’d you have to remind we never got a full version
@@captainrayman1815 my copium is they're saving the full song for an album.
Damn ... Okay its still perfect with 89seconds
The ed is a good portrayal of the progression of the show. The story at multiple points simply doesn't care about normal plot progression, so sudden tonal shifts is very much appropriate. It's fantastic.
I really liked the transition from chaos to the nice harmonic part when the main character sees her as a goddess and savior. It represents how in the midst of his awful and terrible life she saved him and gave him a purpose to live
i honestly love the fact that your reviewing with the actual opening playing on screen. it is nice to see how they animate scenes in correlation to songs like these. But it is even better to see an analysis of the song and animation together for your viewers to see as well. Please keep doing so for every chainsaw man reaction !! that would be gold! ^_^
I didn't get a blocked restriction on this one so I took the chance. Navigation of copyrighted ©️ material is hard
😮
The band Maximum the Hormone LOVES to transition from hard metal to J-Pop. It's kind of their thing. "Koi No Mega Lover" is an excellent example of them doing this
Koino Mega Lover goes SO HARD
I’d also say Yoshu Fukushu and Louisiana Bob are good examples of it as well
I'd say A-L-I-E-N is by far the best example and the most similar to this one, very "messy" heavier sounds and then it just compleetely plateaus and changes completely, even harder than this one lol
This has to be one of the most different and original ending out there, never heard something similar lol I love it
Maximum the Hormone is one of the best metal bands in Japan. That's their trademark style.
Reminded me of that death note op
I think i've seen this video like 10 times. I LOVE the analysis of it, it's perfect, perfect, perfect. Idk how to say it, it helps you understand perfectly and since it's stopped many times it gives you the chance to understand a bit more each time. Thank you so much for all your work, I'm a huge fan of you from years.
Thank you for the nice comment. A lot of people don't like me stopping so much but I feel it's necessary
@@DrumRollTonyReacts totally! if they dont like the rewinds they should just go listen to the song by itself lol. your detailed and frequent breakdowns are what I love most
I love this ending not only because it’s super cool, the goddess thing transition made me shiver but also because, as a manga reader it just fits perfectly, like the whole manga feel is in there.
Woof woof
Exactly!
I love that song because MTH is just so creative with everything they do. Every layer of their songs feel so full and nice. I remember when I started to first listen to them when I was around 16 - everything I liked before started to sound so dull and "boring" after that. They just top themself with each new song imo. Zetsubou Billy and this song are probably my all-time favourites of them tho. Especially Zetsubou Billy shows us how they love to play with genres and styles - even visually.
zetsubou billy is SUCH a good song coming back to it after a good few years
The reason this song was so good for me was the roller coaster of extremes in this song from the head banging intro into metal digital middle which made my ears go crazy and then the instant shift to calm singing was so sudden it felt good and the jpop ending into the intro. It had it all
the section after the drop seems to be heavily inspired by "breakcore" at least in percussion with its digital, high bpm, chopped up loops. You can hear similar influences across the ost too. one of my absolute favourite lesser-known genres and I am glad to see it's influence becoming more mainstream.
I loved this because it’s something different and it fits this show so insanely perfectly
I just realized all of the chaos part is all of the dark part of the story (The demons and everything), the "holy" part represents how Makima saved Denji so he sees her as a deity and the pop part is Denji living his mormal life with Aki and Power :),
You really have to checkout Maximum The Hormone, they are one of the popular heavy metal bands in Japan and are very known for their crazy tempo and mood changes in their songs sometime done in a serious way and other times done in an ironic way depending on whatever the song is about, at first you think it's weird but then you get used to them and just love it
They are some of my favourites bands out there. I became an instant fan since I worked with them 8 years ago.
Will be checking out that band the second im done commenting, really wasnt expecting the breakcore elements in this, abosuletly love it! The only similar band that ive heard to this would be Igorrr (worth checking out if your into this sorta stuff) ;)
Maximum the Hormone are pretty well known for those sudden tone shifts and transitions, especially ones that hit out of nowhere and a first glance seem like they shouldn't work, but somehow just do.
I love this song because it fits the tone of the manga really well. The manga is this rollercoaster that does not let up. Chainsaw Man makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and you get to appreciate this little family that denji (the main characters) gets. I feel like all of that comes across really well through the song
This opening is almost like three songs wrapped into one, and it's awesome
i wish the full version was out
unfortunately it doesn't exist, they made it in ending length only afaik
@@MitternachtHeizer The version up on UA-cam right now is labeled "TV edit" which implies there's a full edit
@@MinniMaster careful there, TV edits sometimes are just barely different. Either way, I'd welcome a full version, let's just see.
@@MitternachtHeizer Maximum the Hormone are not preciselly known for being quick making their music so... Yeah 😅
@@laiofurious6433 All good bro, thanks for letting me know but I've been a listener of them ever since I heard a song in a Monster Hunter speedrun over a decade ago
I'm not too informed on the situation with ending 3 but as I said, I'll be glad if I'm wrong on this.
I really like this ending not just for the visuals or how good the music sounds to me, but because watching this feels the way reading Chainsaw Man felt for me. It's insane and chaotic but also has it's moments of peace and quiet. I think out of all the endings and the opening song, this one encapsulates what Chainsaw Man is the most
I love this song because as a fan of System of a Down and Maximum the Hormone (this band!), tempo/tone shifts are some of my favourite things in music. I've also read the manga and know that this fits perfectly on the actual insanity of the writer, where we can be celebrating a victory or doing a joke in one page and follow it up with a literal character death in the next page.
Now look. I'm no fan of music with screaming but my days this was a whole other experience I was not expecting that sort of a song, and the switch in pace midway through is unbelievable man..
Easily the best analysis and education you're gonna find. Explaining things as layers is such a great way to not just learn to play music but to understand it, to hear things you never heard before. These are amazing lessons in art and I learn from every single analysis. Appreciate and be grateful for this man y'all 👏
Thanks for the nice comment
@@DrumRollTonyReacts forget nice my man it's the truth. Percussion has been my passion for years and years and as I'm sure you know it never gets the respect it deserves. It's awesome to learn from someone who is from the same background and seeing you succeed makes me hopeful you can inspire many people. Best channel bro keep it up 🔥
back before they announced the anime i wished so bad that the op or ed would be done by them, when they eventually said every ed was unique and saw maximum the hormone in the listing i gotta say, it brighten my day up a lot lole
This song in particular in my opinion fits very well the theme of the show, especially this genre. Maximum the hormone did a very good job of incorporating foreshadowing lyrics within the song as well
The reason i liked the ending is how well it portrays both the nature of Chainsaw Man and Denji's journey(spoilers ahead)
The first part is obviously a nod to the first episode. I assume it picks up from the moment Pochita replaces his heart.
He wakes up and realizes his friend is gone and that, or perhaps every horror he's endured till now, is the fault of those in front of him. All his negative feelings well inside him and he pulls the string, releasing all of it. The chaotic mess, concentrated negativity sounds like barely comprehensive cacaphony until a somewhat coherent tune forms and he lashes out.
Then suddenly it's stopped by Makima, the very first ray of hope in his life and his first love. The melody sounds soothing and warm but even then there's sinister undertones to it, it's almost like the voice is lying to you.
Then with newfound hope he moves forward as if none of that happened, only to eventually loop back to the chaos he emerged from.
This is a perfect representation of the famed "chainsaw man pacing" and perfectly fits the series.
Great breakdown, I had the same thoughts when giving the song a careful listen.
I absolutely love the freaking double take everyone has at the halfway point when the song slows down XD Such a freaking 180 yet it somehow fits so well
That shake of the head and look to the camera at 2:55 says it all. Hearing that hit for the first time was immense.
YESSSSS THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!! Now you have entered the gate to MAXIMUM THE HORMONE bloody musics and songs!! I hope you will make a LOT reactions to their other songs as well! Cheers!!
And also, get ready to be amazed by their musics, you will never, EVER, success predicting what they gonna play in their other songs lol
this mv felt like u're in a death match with devils before being abruptly teleported to a convenience store where you were
having ice cream on a very hot summer day.
i made the goofiest noise when paused at 6:49 and just sat on my hands waiting for your reaction to the tone shift. and was not disappointed lolol.
i'm an audio post-production engineer and LOVE watching people geek out over cool music, as well as a massive csm fan, so i've been REALLY loving your content lately!
You sound like you have a cool job. We should do a video where I interview you and you talk about your audio engineer experience
Didn’t expect Christian Bale to be a anime watcher
LOL
The thing is, the song kinda represents all 3 of the characters and their multiple different relationships with Denji.
He is jumping from different emotions soo rapidly and the song literally shows them. Connecting with the visuals, it's actually sooo well done
Something that has not been mentioned about this song is how visually beautiful the lyrics are. I dont mean sonically, but quite literally they are structured beautifully in written text. The band posted a video on their youtube channel just showing the lyrics. I recommend checking that out to any who haven’t
Link it maybe?
It's gonna be an epic review from Tony
I really like how you actually stop frequently to analyze the video and actually give your genuine thoughts on the music rather than just let the whole song play through and only stop for 5-10 seconds every couple of minutes (which most creators do). I feel like I am able to feel your passion for the music a lot more this way! Even though you apologize for stopping a lot don’t stop doing it, it is what makes your channel awesome!!
it's so good that you repeated that one part like 15 times lmao
LMAO
I'm really late to this but the opening bit youre referring to is by far my favorite part of this song. I really don't like the schizophrenic mess it devolves into after the scream
That "digital metal" part is actually breakcore. Absolutely in love with breakcore
That section where it goes back and for of "kon." and the guy screaming nonsense. The lyrics are basically onomatopoeia of chainsaw and carnage craziness
This perfectly encompasses what MAXIMUM THE HORMONE is
You keep suggesting the songs must be similar to the show. The best word you've used to describe these songs that fits the show perfectly is unpredictable.
Also I just found this channel and I'm absolutely loving it, keep it up!
I love MTH so much. The way they totally shift genre in the middle of a song never gets old
This channel really is the best of the best when it comes to music reactions/breakdowns. Your insight is very interesting to hear and you’re just entertaining in general!
Never watched chainsaw man but this ending is incredible, is like perfectly ordinated chaos, love it
I absolutely love this ending. It illustrates the rollercoaster of a story that is Fujimoto's chainsaw man. The stories best quality is its monstrous diversity, with epic moments, sad moments, and happy moments. Tied together with an amazing ensemble of characters, and gripping story and world. These musicians for these ED's are showing this so well. I feel like I'm gonna cry with how well my favorite manga is getting adapted.
this is my favorite chainsaw man ending by far! even the newest one from episode 4 doesn't top this, and that's because of the combination of the visuals and the song. both are very amazing pieces of work, and putting them together is an incredible experience. one of my favorite things about it is just how consistent the mood shifts are and how it always feels like it's escalating to something bigger.
PLEASE give some of the other songs by this band a shot! Their name is "Maximum the Hormone" and I'd recommend "Yoshu Fukushu" or "A-L-I-E-N" as great pieces to try first!
And yes, they're all very chaotic.
The Band has me interested for sure
Finally another reaction from one of the best Yt Reacts out there,I really learned a lot about music because of you!
love seeing people discover maximum the hormone trough CSM, they're probably my favorite band
Happy to see one of my old favorite bands get a lot of attention. Maximum the Hormone is high energy, high fun.
That moment when he screams "DEMON IN THE NAME OF DEVIL" 😂
Saw Maximum live in Japan.... I'll never forget that show.
I loved this ending because if you have already read the story it is full of metaphors and references of events that happen throughout the story, besides that visually the op is one of the best so far :3
As a fan of the Manga, this song captured the chaotic nature of the series -- It felt like it threw a bunch of seemingly unrelated pieces together, and meshed them into one explosive bomb, all to implode back up and make sense in the end. You never knew what was going to happen next -- Yet it all made sense when listening to it.
That's why I like this one, not because it's good _music,_ not that I dislike it at all. But it's good _Chainsaw Man Music._
The song is very great and well fitting with the show indeed, with 2-3 tempo variations. But im not really a fan of screaming in songs 😅
Definitely was some screaming 😱 😅
What a pleb
@@DrumRollTonyReacts you really should check out the song “Yoshū Fukushū” by Maximum the Hormone. This song summarize what kind of band they are. I really want to watch you dissect the song like you usually do.
Nao Kawakita is the drummer of the band, and as a woman, she influenced many Japanese female drummers like Akane of BAND-MAID or Tamu of NEMOPHILA.
I saw MTH this summer in Paris and the live performance was phenomenal.
Thank you Tony
PS: Does anyone told you that you look a little bit like Gianluigi Buffon? 😄
Thank you so much. I love this Ed because of the metal aspect (both the music and the vocals) and being so crazy. From start to finish, every chunk of it and all the twists and turns that happened made an unforgettable experience for me while I was watching it for the first time, and it still is such a joy listening to it.
These videos have been awesome man. And one tidbit at the end that I think lends to the awesomeness of this band/song. Is that the woman you hear singing at the end is their drummer and she's doing both at once like a badass.
The "First time?" meme applies here.
Haha that'd funny 😁
The drummer for maximum the hormone was actually one of the inspirations for bandmaid's drummer to start playing.
Oh sweet
i just recently saw you here and i cant stop watching your anime reactions they kind of put a smile on my face when u get hyped, i think its because i enjoy anime music way more than anime itself and it feels like i found someone who enjoys the music and can explain a bit of whats going on and why i like it, everything here is fun and i love it ( also i think your audio is a little lower? but i could be wrong)
Glad you like it.
Which audio? Music level or speaking level?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts speaking lvl for sure felt a little down than the other videos, but if no one else mentioned it, then it could be just me
curious to see this guy react to older shows like One Piece, Bleach, etc.
The Bleach ones I did got 🚫. They will go on Patreon
Love to see people being introduced to maximum the hormone
Been waiting for this. Its my personal favourite end so far.
As a music lover and an anime junky you make me appreciate the music that accompanied this fine fine anime
There are so many new many anime fans that never heard Maximum the Hormones music. And this is the band that wrote second opening and ending to Death Note(Also you should react to them, they are amazing). This band is a classic.
Maximum The Hormone has been a part of me since I was 17. I was really happy when I found out this was Denji's defacto leitmotif by a band I've always loved :')
The first complete tonal shift when it went super soft felt like it was trying to be soothing but had this haunting undertone to it and (Im not a manga reader so no spoilers) thats kinda also the vibe i get from Makima (the character shown on screen during that) so far which is pretty cool
heard it, immediately loved it. i am not well versed enough in music to even start on what about it makes it tick and click and fit for me, but i am someone who loves Jrock, Jpop and sweet voices. to hear all three mesh together so well in a 1 min 30 s ed blew my mind and swept me off my feet is all i can say. hype from start to finish, cannot stop replaying. many thanks for your explanation!
It's funny that you mention Bossanova. I listened to a lot of Bossanova growing up, and I never would have made that connection until you mentioned it. That section was actually my least favorite part in the song, but I appreciate it much more now.
That said, love that deep bass, and the tempo change towards the end gets my blood pumping. This is a really cool and chaotic song
the whole production of these 12 episode blow everything that came before out of the water. absolutely glorious !!
you should cover more Maximum the Hormone song. i'm not a musical expert but their song is batshit insane.
Of cource I like it cause this is the maximam hormons. you can always get punked when they wanna to
For the 4 endings so far this is BY FAR the best one for me, i am a old fan of some songs of Maximum the Hormone and i was hype for this one. And they no play ugly.
The visuals on this ending too are by Far the best.
Wanna know a cool fact?
The girl singing on this song is The DRUMMER of the Band.
I would say the ability to stay in a way cohesive and yet very chaotic is what gets me with this song. I also love how it perfectly blends with the animation of the credits.
I think if anything this ending is just a really great representation of the kind of show CSM is, I think you'll definitely agree once you get around to watching it too. Each of the (three?) styles this song swaps between sort of represents the different aspects of the show itself really well.
I'm a big fan of a lot of metal but generally not too into 'screamo' vocals, yet for some reason this ED just really works for me - the first part might even be my favourite. Think it's something to do with the lead singer's voice and how insane the instrumental is, it's almost so 'in your face' that it wraps back around to being really enjoyable to listen to for me somehow.
I'm so glad you went over this one! This was my favorite one and blew my mind how crazy good it was. I liked it because I dont usually watch anime and this was the first time ive heard a heavy metal band in a different language. Love the reviews!
This band is so good it's ridiculous. You should react to other songs by them, they are amazing.
This is my favorite ending song so far. Personally I love when songs are very diverse and this one doesn't disappoint, this is true about most MTH songs, you have the hardcore screams and heavy metal instrumentation, then you can get math rock or disco out of nothing or just a psychodelic slap bass bit and, after hellish screams, it can end as the sweetest ballad ever lmao.
Also, very specific to the song, this is the one that feels the most like it was made for the show. It's chaotic and it's just reference after reference, specially everyone's favorite reference: KON.
Great video (as usual), Tony! Really looking forward to the next one, it was pretty good too imo, maybe my favorite visually because reasons... Reasons: 😈🚽
Correct me if I wrong but that woman vocal is the drummer of the band.
While I'm not a fan of screaming in music most of the time, as my roommate is a metal head and plays it rather often; there are some exceptions, and this is definitely one of them. Similar to the Mayday opening from Fire Force, it just fits together so well that it's hard to imagine without it. My musical preferences aside, there's no denying that screaming is an instrument of raw emotion, and paired with all the other aggressive instrumental around it, you can't help getting pulled into that feeling. I find that in the same way the opening reflects the show itself as a whole quite well, ED 3 and 4 reflect their respective characters perfectly, which, for me, is what sets them apart and ahead from ED 1 and 2.
Maximum the Hormone. Their drummer Nao is one Akane's inspiration to pick up drumming. Also their song "F" was what inspired Akira Toriyama to continue Dragon Ball with the return of Frieza.
Can't wait to see your reaction to ending 4, I love it
Queen Nao hitting the drums like there's no tomorrow then singing sweetly, I love her~
Maximum the hormone is just the shot man, you should react to as much of their stuff as you can, they're record company is apparently quite tight on UA-cam but God damn these guys are just one of the most all over the place bands around and yet never fail to just rock hard
Their drummer is a woman, which alone makes some first time listeners raise their eyebrows. She's the guitarist's (Ryo's) older sister :"D
