Everyone, when watching animation, will you faithfully not miss the beginning and end of the animation? To be honest, even after I became an anime self-media and followed a considerable number of dramas (about 20) every quarter, I still skipped some of the animation titles and endings.

These are not lazy. They are done as painting instead of post-processing to achieve the best effect.

animated titles often follow the rhythm of the theme song. In this regard, I think the idea is the same as those of MAD players... except that MAD uses ready-made images, while animated titles create new images.
