The Anime Music Dilemma



After watching the Rozen Maiden Overture OAV, I noticed there was a commercial at the end of the last episode that promoted the new TV series Venus versus Virus. I was interested in the background music they used for the commercial and I said to my self that this is probably the opening theme for that show. I checked the first episode on YouTube and it really turned out to be the opening theme.

You know, it’s really a shame. I really like the opening song but the story of this how is definitely not my cup of tea. It’s interesting how many anime shows have some of my favourite openings and endings but I don’t give a damn about the stories in any of them. A good example is Bleach. I have no interest whatsoever in the story of Bleach but I love many of the openings and endings used in that show like "*~Asterisk" by Orange Range, "Rolling star" by YUI, "Life" by YUI and "My Pace" by SunSet Swish. Another example is Jigoku Shoujo. I love the opening for the first season and the ending songs for the first and second season but I have no interest in the show itself. Strange isn’t it?!

Speaking about Bleach, I think they should make a spinoff show based on it starring Orihime and Kon. They’re about the only characters in the show that I find inetersting (>_<).
