Unique and One of a Kind Openings
Anime
This opening-sequence collection invites comparison of music, movement and visual ideas. An opening can establish an atmosphere without giving a literal account of the plot. Try watching one sequence without its song, then with it, to see how the editing and musical structure work together.

Does moving to a new place solve the problem or expose another one? Compare what the character knows before and after the journey.
Start with a specific scene, then separate what happens from how you interpret it.
Compare the character's goal at that point with the choice they actually make.
