YOASOBI is incredible! I've been hooked on them since hearing this theme song for Sousou no Frieren. This is "Yuusha" or "Brave" in English. And what a way to start an episode.
YOASOBI is a duo made up of Ayase, who composes and produces the music, and Ikura, who does the vocals. They have a unique sound that is difficult to classify into a genre. Very poppy, but also electronic. They have a band for live performances, as well. This song is amazing. I absolutely love hearing it, and look forward to hearing it at the beginning of each episode. It's the opening theme for episodes 1 to 16. This catchy song is replaced by another one in episode 17.
The animation is colourful, though with an interesting filter over top making it look like pastel colours in many cases. Great introduction to the main characters, as well as Frieren's old company and one of the main villains early on. It's an attractive opening both visually and musically. I love it!
