The Black Cat anime is beautiful in general. It makes use of as many angles, shadows, and highlights as possible without destrying the effect. If you’ve seen Black Cat, then you understand when I mean. And this is a beautiful song.
So Black Cat… It’s one my favorite animes of all time. I loved the characters (especially Charden and Creed (in that order) and the music was no exception. My favorite tracks? Well…

Lovely soundtrack, isn’t it? It practically saves the anime. Any other soundtrack would kill it. There are of course, many more osts that I would like to add, but I’m going to leave that up to you. Send your favorites in the comments.
What I also like is the visual appeal of the opening. It’s constantly moving and is visually stunning. Look at the angles, how it coordinates with the music, the effects (such as how the rose is illuminating, the lighting, and the foreground vs. the background). Very pretty. Not only that, a lot of the said effects used in the opening are used in the actual anime, too! It’s not a rip-off!
And the English version isn’t half-hearted, either. I know how people get bent out of shape over Japanese vs. English dubs and I do some griping about it myself (Todd Haberkorn as Allen Walker? He instantly destroyed his character… T-T). But I like the voice cast in Black Cat. I like Jason Liebecht, Chris Patton, and others in the voice cast.
I can’t think of much to say about the music artist, Yoriko. She is most known for her songs featuring is television shows. If you have any infromation about her that is interesting, please say so in the comments.
Now don’t lose your cool. I’m not saying that this is my favorite opening. It’s a REBORN! opening (no duh). Most likely “Funny Sunny Days” when I think about it. I’ll do an Intro log about that one eventually, I’m still waiting on someone to catch up with manga (YES, Skippy, I’m talking about YOU). It’s so spoilerific. It’s the opening with most spoilers. If you are not caught up the manga, do not watch it. If aren’t, but you watched it anyways, then you’ve been spoiled and I hope it was worth it, because now you basically everything that happens after Merone base.
YEAH. Well, I’d say I actually put heart into this entry… Tegami bachi reference ftw. But really, I need post more. I’d like a happy blog, not a starving, sad one. If you have any intros that you’d like to recommend for my blog, be my guest. Comment them and I will find them and evaluate them.
My next entry will be a surprise.
AREN’T YOU EXCITED?! *excitementplz*
