Bleach in their newest episode have a new opening and ending. The opening is Tonight, Tonight, Tonight by Beat Crusaders. The ending is Hanabi by Ikimono-gakari. I think they are both good. I was wondering what all of you think?

Seems pretty cool that Beat Crusaders is doing a theme for Bleach. I'll have to check em' out. They did a really good job on Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad and I really like their other songs.


And this should be in the music section by the way.

I also love the OP from Beat Crusaders. Think it was actually the OP track where I recoginized the artist right away since I heard so much of them in BECK Smile

Not really all that thrilled by either of them, but I do like the animation in them. They'll probabally grow on me like the others.

I think that both of them are good and the animation for Tonight, Tonight, Tonight is similar to the unique drawings you would see at the beginning of each chapter in the manga. But in my opinion, I think that Ichrin no hana by High and mighty color is the best opening theme in the series Very Happy. I really don't have a favorite ending theme though.

Big improvement on the last theme songs. I like how Tonightx3 is noisy but melodic (as opposed to Ichirin no Hana which is just noisy), and the ending is a much welcome relief from My Pace by Sunset Swish. Heck, Koda Kumi belching the alphabet would have been a relief from Sunset Swish.

Plus, the opening animation is probably the best yet, it really captures that pop-art style that makes Bleach unique.

Yeah I just found out about this yesterday, I'm actually a big Beat Crusaders fan. 2 theme songs for 2 major shows in the first quarter of a year not bad.

Same as Kruszer, I'm not really into either one. All of the other themes (minus "happy people") are amazing in my opinion, but I guess I have to wait. This is kind of like what happened recently to Naruto, meaning I haven't been too impressed with "Nami Kaze Satellite" and "Soba ni Iru Kara," but I'm looking forward to the new themes by FLOW and Akeboshi (once again!).

I'm not a big fan of Beat Crusaders, but I really like "HIT IN THE USA."

@Patachu:

What was soo bad about My Pace? I love that song.

Also on the new opening and closings. I love them both though I actually heard Tonight, Tonight, Tonight by the Beat Crusaders before I watched BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad so I actually recognized the aritist in BECK. Though I do like them both the new ending song still has some growing to go before I can find myself listening to it over and over. Still good though.

For my money, the best Bleach songs have been "Ichirin no Hana" and "Life." "My Pace" initially bugged the crap outta me, but found its place among the others. Really, the only one I haven't liked is "Asterisk." It's a bit too wonky for me.

I like Asterisk, when I saw the music video for it I loved the song even more. For me the song thats taken me the most time to like would be "Life Is Like A Boat". I don't know why I didn't like it but I guess it was because of the english at the beginning.......yes no engrish.........english. I guess the english was a put off for me of the song. Still it had good vocals. My favourite songs from the seres are Ichirin No Hana for favourite opening and Houki Boshi as my favourite ending song.

Why would actual english lyrics be a put off? I've heard of people not liking an english song in an anime if it wasn't the original song, but this time it is the original song. What possible beef could you have with it other than it's in english?

"Life is Like a Boat" was at first my least favorite of Bleach's theme songs, back when "Ichirin no Hana" was the new OP. Right now, it's my second favorite theme song (out of everything I've heard). I really don't understand why I wasn't into it right away, it really is a great song. As for the English, I really like it--Rie fu's accent is flawless. My least favorite is "happy people," not because it's placement is awkward, but because it's just not appealing to me in any way.

To reply to Aromatic Grass and Outlawwolf to me even though the english was very good it just didn't sound natural to me. I mean to hear an accentless English and then hear fluent japanese just didn't sound right to me at first...........again at first but then it grew on me. Though I still find it awkard at times.
