Interesting. Listened to a couple of her sample songs before and it seems alright. If she can keep up the style of 'Hollow World', then it'll definitely be worth listening.

I don't think it can top Ideal white but let's hope it's addictive

I didn't even like Ideal White. It didn't sound anything special to me so I'm extreamly happy that Aimer is doing the second OP. I adore her voice.

I also didn't really care for the first OP song. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really feel like a Fate song; all of the three opening songs for the Vita version of stay night felt much more appropriate and what I would expect.

So it's nice to see Aimer this time around. I think her vocals on the new hollow ataraxia openings were very fitting, and I hope that this new OP has a similar style.

I'm glad Aimer is singing the 2th Opening. I love both of the Openings She did for the Vita port of Fate/Hollow ataraxia, especially Broken Night. I hope it's as good as them.

I don't really care who does it as long as the end product is good. Ideal White was great as an opening, so I hope we can get something just as good.

What was wrong with Ideal White? It was a very good opening in my opinion. Just because it might not have been the same style for the Fate series doesn't mean it deserves to be called a train wreck.

And I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that Ideal White doesn't deserve to be called a train wreck.

The most generic song and opening animation I ever saw. It lacked any substance and flavour by comparison to other fate openings. Considering how big the franchise is, it was laughable how uncreative it was

You think Ideal White's opening was bad? Have you seen the Second Season of Tokyo Ghoul? I'm not even gonna bother arguing with you. Everyone has different tastes in music I suppose. I don't know what your definition of creative is, but that opening was a great opening.
