UlasanAnime.com – Among the notable opening and ending sequences from the past season, the Oreshura OP stands out as a personal favorite. While the voice actor ensemble music might be a hit or miss, the show’s color design and sequence of cuts are exceptionally well-leveraged by it. This is remarkably similar to another OP from not too long ago, which also featured solid color design and matching direction.

The production quality can often be inferred from the coloring and post-processing techniques employed. It bears a resemblance to the shiny, and often distinctly Korean, aesthetic seen in Shingeki no Kyoujin.
In Oreshura, the characters are the driving force of the series. They are presented in a way that suggests division into quadrants, seasons, or a spectrum, naturally lending itself to a diverse palette. By “characters,” I am including the protagonist, whose chuunibyou tendencies imbue him with a peculiar yet fitting idealism. In a peculiar twist, the club they form to explore how to become a proper lady mirrors the exploration of how to become a man.
