Quality series A Certain Magical Index has just received its new 2nd ED in episode 20, shown below in high-def quality.
Toradora! also began using a new ED a couple of episodes ago, which is also presented below to keep continuity with our previous Index & Toradora! OPs post.
A Certain Magical Index 2nd ED
[誓い言 〜スコシだけもう一度〜] (Oath~Just a little bit once more~), by IKU
IKU is the same singer from the 1st ED, Rimless ~Fuchinashi no Sekai~ (she apparently loves using ‘~’ in her song titles), so it should sound somewhat familiar.
Toradora! 2nd ED
[オレンジ] (Orange), by Rie Kugiyama, Yui Horie, Eri Kitamura (Taiga, Minori, Ami)
The seiyuu for Taiga, Minori and Ami perform this song, just as with the 1st OP, Pre-Parade.
Both EDs show symptoms of being 2nd ED sequences (which usually receive less attention to quality than the original), although this is perhaps more noticeable in the Toradora! ED.
Personally, I prefer both the animation and music to the series’ 1st EDs, even though I do enjoy both of the new songs also.
The Index ED does still possess high animation quality as the 1st ED did (although not up to the level of Index‘s praying / running scenes), showing again that this is one of those newer shows whose Blu-ray releases are decidedly a must for the hardened fan.
anyone knows whats the full name for IKU ?i’ve been trying to download her songs but her name is too general and cant get much results on it ..
umm Can anyone tell me whens the Single Coming out?…
A few of those shots in there feel very VN-ish to me.
IKU seems promising. Especially after hearing “Ko no me Kaze” from Hayate no Gotoku. =3
Squiggly is good ~~~~~~
You sure do publish alot of updates on this series, even for a meager thing such as a new ending theme. Are they paying Sankaku complex money for this publicity or something?
It was entirely 2ch’s attention to this (and the earlier Toradora! one) that prompted my making this. Otherwise, the thought wouldnt’ve come to mind.
