Series: #Compass 2.0: Sentou Setsuri Kaiseki System (Spring 2025)
Title: "Heartache"
Artist: Uchida Yuuma
After watching the opening, I wasn't sure what this was about. Looking at the visuals of the ending, there are scenes in Tokyo, the train, performance on stage, and then a computer with a character going into an online game. I'm assuming, without looking at the anime's description, that this is about some kind of game. Anyway, the visuals are very bright and colourful, and we see a variety of hero-like characters.
As for the music, Uchida Yuuma has a very good voice. He sounds very good in this song. It's very upbeat, fairly quick, and has a very good pop sound to it. You often don't get very energetic ending themes in anime, but this one is. There's enough going on with the music that makes it sound unique and recognisable, which is an added bonus. This was a surprise. Watch and listen in the video here:
The verdict? Good song, good singer, very upbeat and listenable. Would I listen to it more? Absolutely! I could easily listen to this several times.
Overall: 4.5
Do I want to see this based on what I saw? It actually made more sense than the opening, so it does look interesting. I could possibly see this as a maybe watch if I have time.
