The diversity of musical genres found in more recent anime intros and outros is more or less nonexistent with each new show seemingly embracing the latest J-pop or J-rock artist without bringing much musical variety. Though it’s not the ideal state of affairs, there are a few that are worth trying out, like the first outro theme to Durarara!!, an anime that premiered last January, which features Yuya Matsushita’s “Trust Me” and feels almost like a breath of fresh air. I say “almost” because the J-pop isn’t entirely removed from the song. Rather, it morphs into a slightly different form from the usual intro/outro fare.
How different you ask? Check it out after the jump! (more…)
