I dunno how they pick these nominees but I've never heard a opening more addictive than this let alone the insane creativity of the reverse part. This is the only opening i listen regularly other than Unravel
Because sadly Donghua are excluded from the anime awards. I hope one day this show gets the widespread recognition it deserves, but so long as anime needs to come from the anime region of Japan to not be considered sparkling animation, that recognition won't come from there.
This really fits the storyline because at the end of season 1 probably second to last episode when the perpetrator was arrested they thought it was finished but when we were left on a cliff hanger because lu guang was supposedly killed they are now the victims
@@ilsrzz135the lyrics even change ever so slightly if you play the reverse part the right way, from "the ones who aren't in control" to "the ones in control"
Thank you for being a link click and VNC fan, if you haven’t read Pandora Hearts (same author as VNC ) then you should go read it, it’s been my favorite series for years.
For those wondering, Bai Sha JAWS is a band consisting of 3 members, the lead vocalist's name is Michael Yü (鱼麦扣), so that's the voice you're hearing in this op
I don't think it's even hyperbolic to say this is one of the best animated openings ever. This, along with the Heavenly Delusions OP by Weilen Zhang, Magical Destroyers OP by Kenichi Kutsuna, and the JJK S2 OP by Yuki Kamiya are the best OPs in terms of sheer production quality (not talking about the actual songs).
Link Click is so criminally underrated, it hurts. This show changed something within me so deeply, on so many levels. Gave me excitement, curiosity and hype, gave me trauma, made me love the characters so carefully, and then broke my heart into the tiniest pieces with just one simple line. And the intro's just foreshadow it all, and you realize it too late, always. I appreciate it so much for every single detail. Also, this show makes me scared for every new season, yet here I am, just addicted to how well-done it is and to my new life-goal of just seeing the MC's be happy.
It's a crime that this masterpiece doesn't have millions of views already. It's such an incredible opening, especially in the context of the series (which also deserves so much more attention).
Bai Sha JAWS the band for this Song (and S1 OP for that matter) needed 6 months to create this chorus!! They were struggling with creating a chorus that would work and sound good in reverse, but in the end they figured it out and the results are fantastic. Honestly such a unique approach to a song
I'm blown away by the fact that this OP only starts to make sense when, ironically, the reverse chorus starts and the lyrics become incomprehensible. The timeline itself is becoming twisted and incomprehensible with all the dives. And at the center of it all is Cheng Xiaoshi trying to keep his head above the water. Really amazing, The animation has never looked better! So much looking forward to this season 2!
realising this now, but watching lu guang being unable to catch cheng xiaoshi and watching him continuously fall makes so much sense after ep 12… also the vending machine toy falling from the claw references how lu guang cannot change fate
the way the lyrics go "time is like music, play it till the end and reset" AND EVERYTHING REVERSES ASKJHGAF. EVERY DAMN SECOND OF THIS DONGHUA IS GENIUS IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT'S NOT WAY MORE POPULAR 😭
Lyrics: Let it unfold Will howling tides give me something to hold On to my life when I've sunken so low Over the end of the vortex we took every breath to follow Where do we go Where do we end up when we save the world Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold Place our fate into the ones aren't in control STOP A couple things undue Drop the fight and let it follow through Freeze just for a sec or 2 Breathe again in the world anew I guess that there was never such a thing Like everything's meant to be But imma win this silly game Until then I will never leave Take back all my regrets And camouflage it like your silhouette Time is like music Play it 'til the end and then reset Knowing it all am I destined to fall? Like once you did for me (Reverse)
This opening contains the whole plot of this season the former part is reverse of the later part. At 0:18 the red liquid means the Xiaoshi Chen died in original time line( be attacked in the tunnel by a gun aside by the doll ). The former part means Guang Lu came back to the time point of season1 to save Chen (we could see Emma did not drop down at that time). The later part is the changed world.
I really love how prominent Emma is in the OP too. She looked like an insignificant background character at first, but she had such a big impact on the MC that he can’t forget her ;-; the shot of her starting to fall is hauntingly beautiful
I love the JJK opening. I love the My Happy Marriage opening. And I'm hyped to see Zom 100s opening. But this...? This right here is a god damn masterpiece of an opening. And if you play the reverse part in reverse, some of the lyrics change and it's insanely creepy. Somei (OP director) is a wizard. Only explanation for this OP being this incredible. If you haven't seen Link Click, let this be the reason. This has so many hidden parts and symbolism that are crucial from S1.
So, am i the ONLY ONE who doesnt renember the old martial arts dude? Was it a special episode, or did i accidently miss a WHOLE episide in season 1??? (If so, what episide?)
@@riimmm_that was another timeline. In the original timeline cheng died and Lu guang went back and saved him, changing the timeline so he would not lose cheng again.
@@Asphodelys Just because its popular in china doesnt mean it is not underrated, or in better terms here, unrecognized. Japanese anime can be deemed unrecognized or underrated if it isnt seen by people outside its own region.
i dont even know anything about this anime, but when the reverse part came i actually got the chills and kept repeating it over and over again 😭 this opening truly deserves more recognition cause god damn
How can an op be so cool and have so many great details that dont spoil the season at all, YET COMPLETELY REVEAL EVERYTHING WITHOUT ANYONE REALIZING UNTIL THE EP 12
Up until 1:02, the footage of Chung being thrown through the world is in reverse. At 1:02 when the song is in reverse, the animation is going forward. I only noticed this change halfway through the season when there's a change in the animation. That little change btw is freakin AWESOME.
This show is so good. I've watched the first two episodes of the 2nd season and I can't wait to see more! I feel so bad for people who finished the 1st season two years. The wait must have been so hard!
And here I though shows like Vinland Saga, Jujitsu Kaisen, Heavenly Delusion, Kaisen, Zom 100 and several other ones this year had some insanely great openings, THIS is on a whole other level! Not even joking, this might be my favorite anime OP of the year for now!
The OP is INCREDIBLY! The ED too. The animation of the Ed is actually telling a pretty sad story about a guy who created a Time Machine to see his dead wife but people want it too so he hid it and got killed. Idk if anyone noticed the lyrics at 1:00 « knowing it all am I destined to fall, like once you did for me ». Too much info. These lyrics make me feel that Lu Guang (white hair) is actually from the future and that Chen Xiaoshi (black hair ) died in that future. If you heated the ED there’s a Chinese part where it said ”当你醒来我已不在” which means when I wake up, you are no longer there. Right now I’m just gonna pray that no one’s gonna die and listen to my friend and stop analyzing these songs like I’m analyzing some text for my final exams.
Woah u also figured it out congo? There was other comment too where tgey did breakdown of the op, the person said how the lyric says when lu guang is on screen meaning he is from future to save xiaoshi idk it was someone with musahi's pfp oh and agreed no one talked abt the ed i was wonderin wut it meant but maybe its not exactly time machine but it was to create those powers OR it was time machine but the man himself divided it into smth to 'destroy' the machine but actually transferring it's power? So to protect it?
Link click season 2 is some of the best plot in an anime I've seen this whole season. This show is so slept on just because it's not actual JAPANESE anime
This show made me realize the potential that animated content is able to reach. I really did think we were near the peak but the show really raised the bar
Can we appreciate that in the last episodes in the opening we can see brother with the pink hair istead of mysterious "someone in the hoodie" on 0:39 Now that's attention to details
I havent felt this hyped for a show since aot which I started and stayed on the ride from 2013 until its conclusion this year. But link click has me on a damn chokehold especially with these masterful intros
i think this is the best intro i've ever seen. Just wow. The animations, all these elements, the song(damn the part reversed it's so brilliant), the fact that this is so chaotic but you perfectly understand what's happening. Just wow. Link click never fails
Ok as an intro. Gigguk would nut to this. The way how it starts with this rising action with the audio playing forward and its not until half way through where the music starts playing backwards and you see in reverse that the roles were switched the whole time. The film was in reverse while the music plays forward only to turn and show that he was falling. The music going backwards to the truth of whats happening when he starts to plunge backwards.
Okay but like WOW?!? I am so hyped up for this donghua and that animation is absolutely immaculate!!! This will definitely make donghua history! I really love the way they reverse the ending of the opening, so it links to the start of the opening, it’s such a creative idea! 😭💕
Actually after ending the second season i can appreciate more the details as the reverse on animation and the detail that Cheng and Lu touching to be back, because oh yeah they're so back in time.
I have watched thousands of animes in my lifetime some more than once & link click is the only one so far that is actually made me cry. That earthquake episode hit me so hard ngl
This opening is simply a work of art. The reversed lyrics alongside the events playing in reverse, coupled with the objectively stunning animation quality, make a memorable piece of art. Easily 10/10 from me.
This is one of the best openings I've ever seen. I keep telling my friends to watch this show. I love how in Crunchyroll's comment section people say stuff like "Ladies and gentlemen this is art, this is cinema"
SPOILER ALERT about the meaning of the opening and why it's masterpiece (theory). The best thing is that after the plot twist we got at the end this whole opening makes sense in a completely different way. They planned this opening with the twist that Lu Guang is able in some way go to the past same as Cheng Xiaoshi. So we can assume that Lu Guang that is here now or was from the whole time is Lu Guang from future who's trying to save Xiaoshi from something in the future. That's why the opening is called Vortex. He's meeting another characters like Li Tianchen in 0:39. They spin as if it was rewinding and also look at the calm expression of Lu Guang. He's the center in which the whole story in opening revolves right now, and Xiaoshi is just being rewinded from the things that already had happened. And at 1:01 he touches Lu Guang's hand but as we know Lu Guang is also able to go into photos by clapping hands. So this touch when we thought Xioashi was using it was Lu Guang which at this point tries to save Cheng Xiaoshi and he goes by all events one more time and everything goes same way as it already did because for now future is unchangable.
This is such a masterpiece, I just played the last part backwards & its the same as the first part of the song, this is so DAMN UNDERRATED!!! Good lord someone stop me I can't stop listening to it on loop!!
How come this masterpiece is not as popular as the first op, both are masterpieces but this one is wayyy too good and my favourite compared to the other one
I love how everything gets reversed in the second half of the song and how it happens when he hits Lu Guang's hand like hitting the rewind button on a recorder which also juxtaposes how his powers work. I know this is prolly a lame thing to geek out about but the details are just so goddamn sick 😆😆🥹
i really like how well the visuals and music go along with each other in this opening. baishajaws (the band that did the opening song) talked about how they spent a long time trying to come up with a melody under the idea of it being able to be reversed. i especially love how the beginning of the mv is reversed, while the second half is going forward. however, the chorus in the beginning goes forward, whilst the second half is reversed. it really shows how much time and dedication the two parties put into this in order for it to be able to look and sound good both ways.
This is beautiful, idk what else to say about it, everything was just stunning. I like the point how we've gotten to the point where were no longer just falling down but also falling upwards, there's something incredible about it when it's done just right.
Everyone and anyone listen up. Let it unfold, we all live our lives with regrets and mistakes, own yourself and move on no matter the pain. There are people with you... even if they arent there...
Link Click may be my favorite show, even above AOT, Death Note, etc, etc. Its everything i wanted and expected steins gate to be. It's a shame more people dont know about it.
China is hated on by western media, but in the end they are humans just like us. Humans that have feelings, and also the motivation to create and produce beautiful works such as link click. Best donghua ever, might be one of the best shows ever to be honest.
"Time is like music Play it till the end and then reset" These lyrics and the fact that the second half is played in reverse 🤯 Why is the op so good sksksk!!!
The 1st op was good and catchy, I really enjoy it, but this one... That's straight a masterpiece. Really hope it gets it hype, because this op defenetly deserve it
I'm genuinely shocked to see this opening. Some animes nail the animation while most nail the music. But both? That's quite rare. I don't know anything about this anime and it filled me with a strong desire to watch the anime. Good job. Amazing.

Let it unfold
Will howling tides give me something to hold
On to my life when I've sunken so low
Over the end of the vortex we took every breath to follow
Where do we go
Where do we end up when we save the world
Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold
Place our fate into the ones aren't in control
STOP
A couple things undue
Drop the fight and let it follow through
Freeze just for a sec or 2
Breathe again in the world anew
I guess that there was never such a thing
Like everything's meant to be
But imma win this silly game
Until then I will never leave
Take back all my regrets
And camouflage it like your silhouette
Time is like music
Play it 'til the end and then reset
Knowing it all am I destined to fall?
Like once you did for me

Can we appreciate that in the last episodes in the opening we can see brother with the pink hair istead of mysterious "someone in the hoodie" on 0:39
Now that's attention to details
I havent felt this hyped for a show since aot which I started and stayed on the ride from 2013 until its conclusion this year. But link click has me on a damn chokehold especially with these masterful intros
i think this is the best intro i've ever seen. Just wow. The animations, all these elements, the song(damn the part reversed it's so brilliant), the fact that this is so chaotic but you perfectly understand what's happening. Just wow. Link click never fails
Ok as an intro. Gigguk would nut to this. The way how it starts with this rising action with the audio playing forward and its not until half way through where the music starts playing backwards and you see in reverse that the roles were switched the whole time. The film was in reverse while the music plays forward only to turn and show that he was falling. The music going backwards to the truth of whats happening when he starts to plunge backwards.
truer words couldnt have been said 👌
this is easily my favorite opening of all time, im never skipping it
Link click is simply the best, Its a mix of death note, twists of its own, depths.. The animation, mystery and arc itself... awesome
Okay but like WOW?!?
I am so hyped up for this donghua and that animation is absolutely immaculate!!!
This will definitely make donghua history! I really love the way they reverse the ending of the opening, so it links to the start of the opening, it’s such a creative idea! 😭💕
If you reverse the opening it will play the same and cooler
@@adareq523 FR!!! Very smart of them to do that
This opening has reached something beyond the realm of perfection. Absolute masterpiece. ❤
Actually after ending the second season i can appreciate more the details as the reverse on animation and the detail that Cheng and Lu touching to be back, because oh yeah they're so back in time.
This opening, the animation, everything is too underrated I'm SUFFERING. It's too perfect
Just binge watched S2, this one of best shows of 2023
Link click is sooo underrated in the rest of the world, but the animation and music of both of the ops were so good, it needs more recognition
Just realized that Lu Guang was CUT from the rewinded part, probably symbolizing he isn't from the original timeline.
I CAN'T GET OVER THIS AMAZING OPENING EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!! AAAAAA
I have watched thousands of animes in my lifetime some more than once & link click is the only one so far that is actually made me cry.
That earthquake episode hit me so hard ngl
Same.
spoilers
The abuse the family went through in Season 2 and Chen Bin's death hit especially hard
@@mr.reverse7399 I know man I feel for them such a tear jerker
Link Click was top tier in drama, untill probably they get too much confidence with it
God this opening is so gorgeous and it hits me in a way that I almost cried. I'm very excited to watch the season 2.
This opening is simply a work of art. The reversed lyrics alongside the events playing in reverse, coupled with the objectively stunning animation quality, make a memorable piece of art. Easily 10/10 from me.
This is one of the best openings I've ever seen. I keep telling my friends to watch this show. I love how in Crunchyroll's comment section people say stuff like "Ladies and gentlemen this is art, this is cinema"
this is a fking masterpiece idk why mainstream animefans didn't talk about Shiguang Dailiren
one of the best openings in history. amazing music and videoclip
SPOILER ALERT about the meaning of the opening and why it's masterpiece (theory).
The best thing is that after the plot twist we got at the end this whole opening makes sense in a completely different way. They planned this opening with the twist that Lu Guang is able in some way go to the past same as Cheng Xiaoshi. So we can assume that Lu Guang that is here now or was from the whole time is Lu Guang from future who's trying to save Xiaoshi from something in the future. That's why the opening is called Vortex. He's meeting another characters like Li Tianchen in 0:39. They spin as if it was rewinding and also look at the calm expression of Lu Guang. He's the center in which the whole story in opening revolves right now, and Xiaoshi is just being rewinded from the things that already had happened. And at 1:01 he touches Lu Guang's hand but as we know Lu Guang is also able to go into photos by clapping hands. So this touch when we thought Xioashi was using it was Lu Guang which at this point tries to save Cheng Xiaoshi and he goes by all events one more time and everything goes same way as it already did because for now future is unchangable.
This is such a masterpiece, I just played the last part backwards & its the same as the first part of the song, this is so DAMN UNDERRATED!!! Good lord someone stop me I can't stop listening to it on loop!!
Been a while since I've been so hooked on an opening of an anime I haven't even watched
After watching the anime I can safely say it is a gem. And I'm still stuck on this OP
@@udlakshayaraina6524 Me too, this is my most fav animation in this world and every song of lc is masterpiece, I'm obsessed
This OP is now...IMPOSSIBLE to skip! I would never this skip masterpiece.😍🥵
Having the theme played in reverse is genius for anime about time travel
Yeah and I think the singer literally sang it in reverse as you can see from a live of vortex 😂
I swear when an anime has a good OP/ED it makes 100 times better to watch
there is nothing to rival this opp this year. He can be a candidate for the best of all time and easily enters the first places.
How come this masterpiece is not as popular as the first op, both are masterpieces but this one is wayyy too good and my favourite compared to the other one
I love how everything gets reversed in the second half of the song and how it happens when he hits Lu Guang's hand like hitting the rewind button on a recorder which also juxtaposes how his powers work. I know this is prolly a lame thing to geek out about but the details are just so goddamn sick 😆😆🥹
i really like how well the visuals and music go along with each other in this opening. baishajaws (the band that did the opening song) talked about how they spent a long time trying to come up with a melody under the idea of it being able to be reversed. i especially love how the beginning of the mv is reversed, while the second half is going forward. however, the chorus in the beginning goes forward, whilst the second half is reversed. it really shows how much time and dedication the two parties put into this in order for it to be able to look and sound good both ways.
This is beautiful, idk what else to say about it, everything was just stunning. I like the point how we've gotten to the point where were no longer just falling down but also falling upwards, there's something incredible about it when it's done just right.
Everyone and anyone listen up. Let it unfold, we all live our lives with regrets and mistakes, own yourself and move on no matter the pain. There are people with you... even if they arent there...
Link Click may be my favorite show, even above AOT, Death Note, etc, etc.
Its everything i wanted and expected steins gate to be.
It's a shame more people dont know about it.
true i wish Link Click had a bit more attention... then again, the fandom would grow to be toxic if more people found out about it😔
I love how this op get more meaning as the show goes on
1:02 goosebumps when characters starts randomly swapped. My favourite part
China is hated on by western media, but in the end they are humans just like us. Humans that have feelings, and also the motivation to create and produce beautiful works such as link click. Best donghua ever, might be one of the best shows ever to be honest.
"Time is like music
Play it till the end and then reset"
These lyrics and the fact that the second half is played in reverse 🤯
Why is the op so good sksksk!!!
the lyrics are absolutely genius 😭
I LOVED THE FIRST OPENING BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER
The 1st op was good and catchy, I really enjoy it, but this one... That's straight a masterpiece. Really hope it gets it hype, because this op defenetly deserve it
The song flows so well, but sounds as much like a broken tape.
The animation is on point with how it feels kind of euphoric with that fall
I love the way link click does it’s ending like the song will start playing before the episode ends and the aots are always great
These visuals and animation looks insane. One of the best opening visuals i've ever seen
I literally never tire of rewatching this, it's like scrumptious meal
An actual masterpiece of an OP, I literally cannot stop watching it again and again
I'm genuinely shocked to see this opening. Some animes nail the animation while most nail the music. But both? That's quite rare. I don't know anything about this anime and it filled me with a strong desire to watch the anime. Good job. Amazing.
Its a donghua
@@affren3148ro shut up and recommend him this wonderful chinese anime instead
The show is really good. Great story, characters, and animation. If this OP has you hooked, give the show itself a try!
@@Tumensialanime is japanese animation, donghua is chinese animation
Лучший опенинг года. Для меня так вообще за всё время. Это слишком гениально. Первый опенинг, если и можно превзойти, то этот точно нет. Шедевр!!!
Самое главное какой видеоряд, прямо со смыслом
So glad we got a second season of Chinese Quantum-Leap. I love both shows dearly.
The attention to detail in both the OP and ED is stunning, and love that they keep the same dedication throughout both seasons-- so underrated
This my favorite opening without any hesitation. And we don’t need to talk about the animation. It’s pure eye candy
Whoever made this they need a raise
Some of these visuals start to make more sense with each new episode.
Watching this after finishing the series and everything in the op makes so much sense. This op deserves an award much less a nomination.
god i love when they reverse parts of music like this. It always pulls me back to the Kingdom Hearts songs from when I was growing up
Literally best op i have ever seen.i wish they make season 3 op a masterpiece like s1 op and s2 op
One of the most unique opening for one of the best shows ever. Truly a work of art.
This is possibly the best anime opening ever...
And ending is overthink
We can call it "the opening of the year"
Fr JJK tards be saying that Jjk’s op is op of the year but this def is a better, don’t get me wrong the JJK op
Is a 8/10 but this is a solid 9.5/10 for mr
@@Z0D1ACC I love link click and it's defo my Anime of the season, but I do like other openings like Vinland S2 and Oshi No Ko's more.
This opening for me is currently tied in 3rd place with Heavenly Delusion's for me.
@@AStixMatism Yeah I like VS’s first opening of season 2 and Oshi no Ko’s op too! but Link Click’s op just gives this indecribable feeling ;-; also the concept of using reverse part of the first half of the song was pretty interesting to me
@@AStixMatism No
@@nicoalexander3422 No u
the world is not ready for this masterpiece.
I have literally no words how beautiful this op is
