OP:
Awich × ALI「Ougon no Kanata」(Golden Horizon)

ED:
Ken Yokoyama「The Ballad」

OP is good, but the ED is really fun. They definitely filmed someone doing the whole dance.

Quite a few references. 0:30 has him making chitatap chitatap. 0:50 has that silly teasing dance from the harakiri circus show.

I'm going to miss this energy when the series ends...

i believe noda storyboarded the entire OP, all the gold throughout it feels like such a perfect final OP for this series. love to see some well animated rotoscoping as well, it's by far my favorite ED of this seasons shows

It's suuuch a good ending, no Golden Kamuy ending has caught my eye as much as this one. Funny to see Sugimoto 50% serious guy, 50% goofball doing an interpretive dance. I listen to the song all the time as well. Favorite ending by far. Hinna hinna.

I am weird on the opening. It’s not bad but not great either. Personally, this ranks lowest of all the openings.

The ending on the other hand is pretty good, I’ll admit.

If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece

Golden Kamuy EDs never disappoint. The new one is very similar in tone to ED 2 and the visuals are just so old school, it reminds me of OG Naruto.

I love both the OP and the ED, but the ED hits harder. As usual, Golden Kamuy never disappoints.

The visuals in this ED are insanely cool. I love how the dance references all those moments from across the seasons.
Red linework instead of black gives everything this raw intensity that fits Golden Kamuy so well.

And the song just elevates the whole thing. For sure one of my favorite EDs ever!

Yup, the ED is especially great. As for the OP, it’s grown on me over time so I like it more now, but I think I can still say it’s my least favorite OP song-wise, I do still like it tho, especially the chorus
