#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.

I'm sorry, but I was honestly laughing my ass off the entire time I watched that.

Kind of reminds me of the Kaiju No. 8 opening, with how ill fitting it is with the manga.

I don't mean this disrespectfully but based solely on openings and trailers, the Kill Blue adaptation looks leagues better than Sakamoto Days which is... interesting to say the least lol. Idk if they thought this series would blow up more but yeah, good for Fujimaki I suppose

Also, I am a Kpop Stan and generally like Aespa so I'm a fan of the song. Not sure if fits the Kill Blue vibe but I think overall it's fun and fits the visuals. While Akane's OP fit the series better, I actually like this song lol

Imagine if it gets a better boost than Sakamoto Days. It could be meaningful.

I'm not a Kill Blue fan in the slightest so I'm obviously more negative but I doubt it. It's hard to predict imo what series generally just, blows up. But ultimately I don't know if a lot of people are going to turn out for a comedy/action series that's already over with no hype to the name versus a Sakamoto which was hyped before the first trailer dropped

Also, obviously this is a Western perspective, idk Japan lol

Japan liked Bocchi the Rock more than CSM. We can never know.

Could be wrong but that was always much more popular than Kill Blue lol. More popular than Chainsaw Man? I wouldn't go that far but it feels like comparing Ichi to Kagura versus Shinobi to Kagura.

Makes much more sense Ichi would do better than Kagura versus Shinobi. Makes much more sense Bocchi would do better than CSM than to expect Kill Blue to be anywhere close to either. Not saying it can't happen but I wouldn't personally put money on it

Aespa did the ED for Beyblade so it wouldn't be a first

Bocchi the Rock vs Chainsawman is a pretty good comparison here since Bocchi was a series with zero prior expectations that became a big hit due to fantastic directing that gave the show a ton of energy and highlighted its biggest strengths, while CSM was expected to become the next megahit but due to weak directing that sucked a lot of the energy out of the series and actively strayed away from its strongest aspects it ended up underperforming.

Obviously it's not quite the same since Kill Blue is by an author with a previous big hit rather than a total unknown, but it does show how a good adaptation by a director who actually knows what's good about the manga can have a huge impact.

That said, I haven't watched Kill Blue yet so I've no idea if it's actually done well (I can't imagine it being on the level of Bocchi at any rate).

Bocchi had cute girls doing cute things which is a big factor to its big success on top of its great directing. Cute girls are always an underrated factor to a show blowing up. Its why I'm still watching Oshi no Ko's final season even after how the manga ended

I'll say, song choice is debatable, but the quality of the visuals, for how fitting they may or may not be, is really damn good
