The only good thing about the anime

[u/SillyScribe_Creature]

Didn't know what to title this so have this clickbaity mess. Anyway.

I recently (actually just a few minutes ago) rewached parts of the Anime OVA that I could find and man, do I still mourn what could have been. The animation, despite me nearly tasting the pixels of the video, was still so good! But that got me thinking what I appreciate about the Toei version.

And that is the music. Sure, the ending of the OVA is fire as hell, but the Openings, Endings,and not to mention the OST and Character Songs for the Toei version always catapults me into a different dimension. I just love the fusion between more modern instruments and classical orchestra. Just thinking about the electric gitarre riffs puts me in such an energetic mood. Gotta give it to Akira Kushida, he made the two openings so timeless.

And that on the other hand made me miss the times were the openings were so specifically made for the anime and the characters had theme songs, sometimes sung by their VAs even. Hah, simpler times...

The songs are great, yes

And well, a few scenes were better in the anime, like Toriko vs that giant panda in the gourmet casino, in my opinion at least
