Question : Is this opening made by you guys?

Are these intros belong to the forum?
If not, 1 and 4 seems very nice for the anime you guys are working.

Those are parodies of existing openings and no, we didn't make them.

But could'nt you guys use those openings? That could save your work for the opening theme. Its quite neat.

I'm afraid not.
The art style doesn't resemble that of the series and there are too many arcs represented within them. We're only interested in the first arc with Red, Green, and Blue.

Plus, they're based on existing openings of existing anime. We might get in trouble for it

Not that we couldn't get in trouble for making an anime version of the manga right? xD Just kidding

Anyway, regarding this post:
I like Guest's explanation. Although it would seem easier to use them, we have many reasons why we won't use them:

1. The anime we are making is set to be in English, having a random Japanese opening seems a bit out of place when this is being made originally in English, not translated like a dubbed anime.
a. Using another song from a professional singer threatens us further for copyright issues regarding uploading to youtube, certain songs(even japanese) will have copyright laws and could prevent some users from viewing our videos if they're from restricted countries.
b. Using art made by users without their permission is also a little impeding and rude, we could try to contact these artists, but the majority of these anime openings were created by users on NicoNicoDouga which consists mostly of Japanese artists making communication a problem since most of the staff speak English only.

2. As Guest said, we are separating story arcs by season. This would make it a little awkward to include every character from manga into one intro. We are basing the anime off the books, not making a simple fanimation with everyone at oncE, so characters will be introduced as they were in the book.

3. For some of these songs, we are not even sure what the lyrics could mean, they could be talking about death and destruction or simplicity of life or even the anime itself. If that's true, using the song for the anime makes it more so flashy than fitting and we're looking to make an opening that fits the anime.

4. The art style is too far off and close to other animes and again wouldn't fit the simple vibe of the manga.

5. The vibes from the songs seem epic and like there's some lingering darkness in the first opening you showed us. Our anime is leaning more towards inspirational characters who have a lot of heart. We need an opening that represents this lighter feeling.

Since it's hard to find something like nothing above, it is better to make our own.

Thanks for explanation guys.

So you guys will actually find a singer for the OP and ED?

Yeah, our music team composes it and writes the lyrics while people audition to sing it. I think for the opening theme song, this is the audition that made it into the anime.

The ending theme is being recomposed and sang by one person, Right now it's still in the process of being made and we are already animating the opening scenes.
