    So I'm currently watching the Enies Lobby arc and my question is, why is there so many different openings?
    Like the first opening of his arc made sense. It showed CP9 fighting the Straw Hats and then both sides confronting each other on the rooftops.
    But then the 2nd opening shows the Straw Hat Pirates running away while wearing military gear and that made no sense with what was going on currently.
    And not too long after that, another opening appeared which is way too long. About 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, sheesh, I'm used to 1:30 long anime openings. And this opening makes no sense either to what is currently happening in the arc. Especially since it shows the Going Merry even though that ship was long gone by now in the arc, and will soon be replaced by Franky's new ship after the arc is over.

    They should have kept the first opening for the full arc.

    Anyways enough rambling, what are your thoughts on animes that constantly change opening in a single arc?

    I didn't know making a comment meant moaning. :P
    I love the Enies Lobby arc so far, I'm just wondering why the openings switch so often.
     
    They switch because of music company contracts. Artists use anime series as added advertising for their latest tracks. We're lucky they don't change as often as they do in other sort of shows really, every season in a lot of cases.
     
    Don't really mind animes that do that, I could just look them up on youtube if I really want to see it again. It's always a nice change to see the new openings. Especially One Piece openings, most of them were pretty good.

    Why are openings 3 and 4 such best One Piece openings?





    Back when One Piece was super fun.

    This so much. One Piece is still super fun, just can't wait till it finishes animating Dressrosa arc. Even if the manga is not quite done with it yet.
     
    Oh my god those bring back some memories. Time for a rewatch, I guess. :'DDD

    I like new OPs and am not bothered by them. You could always skip them if you like. :p

    I do skip them after the 1st watch. Inconsistency is just a pet peeve for me lol.
     
    I wish they hadn't extended the openings, personally :/ combined with the series and arc summaries they also do, it just pads out every episode exponentially. Every time I watch One Piece I end up skipping the first few minutes as a result.

    That said, Fight Together was definitely the best opening in a while. We Go was good but overstayed its welcome, and Hands Up wasn't around for long enough.
     
    Yeah, they try to pad out as much as they can to not catch up to the manga :p I skip the first 5 minutes too generally.

    I personally like it when they have new openings for new arcs and stuff. Bit Hands Up came out really late and was replaced too soon.
