"Haru (Sunny)" - Sousou no Frieren 2nd Opening Theme

 On episode 17 of Sousou no Frieren, the opening theme changed. The new one is called "Haru" or "Sunny" by Yorushika. This song has a very different feel from the first opening, and definitely not like YOASOBI's style.

Musically, this song is a happy sounding one. It's a feel good song that gets you in the mood for the episode, and it really suits the series. This series is a fairly happy and positive story, and the song reflects it well. Yorushika has a great voice. "Yuusha" tends to stand out a lot more, though. While "Haru" is a good song and works well as an opening, I feel like it's in the shadow of "Yuusha".

The animation is done quite well, and we get to see a good number of characters that have not been introduced yet, and are definitely from the second half of the season (at the time of writing this, a second season has been announced). There are some action scenes, but it mostly focused on characters. It's as colourful as the first opening, so I guess it is sunny.

Here, you can watch the opening credits:
