Let’s be honest—anime openings today are on another level. We're talking vibes, visuals, vocals… and TikTok domination. From heart-wrenching ballads to high-octane bangers, the new gen anime OPs don’t just start the show—they steal it.
So if you’ve ever found yourself saying “okay, just one more rewatch of the opening,” you’re in the right place.
Here are 10 absolute masterpieces of new gen anime OPs that have taken over playlists and the internet:
1. 🎭 “Idol” – Oshi no Ko
Artist: YOASOBIVibe: Sparkly, sinister, and genius-level catchy.
This one? A cultural moment. With a glittery pop sound hiding deep lyrics about the idol industry, "Idol" broke YouTube records and took over TikTok dances. Iconic, unsettling, and addictive.
2. 🔥 “SPECIALZ” – Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
Artist: King GnuVibe: Chaotic cool + jazz-infused perfection.
Only King Gnu could give us an OP this funky AND intense. “SPECIALZ” is as unpredictable as Gojo himself. Add that slick animation? Chef’s kiss. 💀
3. 🌈 “Where Our Blue Is” – Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 (Hidden Inventory Arc)
Artist: Tatsuya KitaniVibe: Emotional pain in musical form.
This opening hits so hard it should come with a warning label. Melancholy visuals and haunting vocals made this a favorite among fans mourning... well, you know who.
4. 🌠 “Yuusha” – Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
Artist: YOASOBIVibe: Peaceful, reflective, magical.
YOASOBI proving once again they don’t miss. “Yuusha” beautifully captures Frieren’s quiet emotional journey. You don’t skip it—you let it wash over you like a spell.
5. 🧟♂️ “Song of the Dead” – Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead
Artist: KANA-BOONVibe: Zombie apocalypse, but make it a party.
Zom 100 flipped the undead genre with this upbeat, technicolor jam. It’s like a dopamine hit with brains. Literally.
6. 💥 “innocent arrogance” – Heavenly Delusion
Artist: BiSHVibe: Trippy and tense, like a dystopian rollercoaster.
This OP is weird in all the right ways. BiSH’s distorted vocals paired with abstract visuals create an opening that demands your full attention (and theories).
7. 🧝♂️ “River” – Vinland Saga Season 2
Artist: AnonymouzVibe: Melancholy Viking vibes.
This OP takes you from rage to reflection in under 2 minutes. Thorfinn’s growth arc perfectly matches the introspective tone. Sad, beautiful, and timeless.
8. 🎯 “Tombi” – Trigun Stampede
Artist: Kvi BabaVibe: Retro Western meets emotional modern energy.
A reinvention of a classic, “Tombi” feels like a sunset showdown with a philosophical twist. It’s moody, modern, and wildly underrated.
9. 🧠 “Crack-Crack-Crackle” – Undead Girl Murder Farce
Artist: Class:yVibe: Mysterious, jazzy, Sherlock-core.
A lesser-known gem with maximum flavor. This OP is spooky, stylish, and 100% unforgettable. Think gothic detective anime with a musical punch.
10. 🏹 “℃” – Tsurune: The Linking Shot
Artist: Luck LifeVibe: Calm, warm, precision archery aesthetics.
A soothing track with graceful animation that feels like a deep breath. “℃” brings wholesome vibes and emotional sincerity—perfect for a sports anime with heart.
