11eyes Opening Theme – Arrival of Tears

My only gripes about 11eyes: the skirt and sailor collar of the girls’ school uniform are badly designed. The collar looks like a mutated butterfly on both sides, and the tartan skirt looks really tacky. Update: After three weeks of staring at the uniform, the mutated butterfly is starting to look better. Can’t say the same for the tartan skirt though.

Otherwise I’m a sucker for any male lead voiced by the sultry Ono Daisuke.

Rating: 7/10. ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

If the red night wakes me up in a twisted awakening
The black darkness and eternal slumber are scared of the moonlight

Even if the flames burn away the world that they envelop
I only don’t cease prayer, for the sake of tomorrow I promised my friends

Overflowing tears echo in succession, toward the sword of oblivion
A soul is drowning in an instant, light is floating by
Let’s slash apart the sky, and hold hope close and pass away in this world

On a night when I wandered alone, I passed by the pulsation of rebirth
Your crest, to be composed, is CROSSOVERing

Even if your drying tears are dyed by the colors of sin, damnation, and atonement
It’s for the sake of tomorrow you promised your friends

If the sad past restrains you, then disobey your destiny
Let’s firmly thrust our fists up to the heavens and even offer up our lives
Because an engraving soul exists to change this world…

On a night when the black moon sleeps, red tears fall into ruin
Ahead of our respective lines of sight, there’s the tomorrow we promised our friends

Endless tears seep out of me and I was shut in by darkness
The world, enveloped by silence, vanished soundlessly

Overflowing tears echo in succession, toward the sword of oblivion
A soul is drowning in an instant, light is floating by
Let’s slash apart the sky, and hold hope close and pass away in this world

歪んだ覚醒の中で　赤き夜が目を醒ませば
黒き闇永遠の眠り　月影に怯えてる

炎が包み込んでく　世界を焼き尽くしても
祈りだけは絶やさずに　友と交わした明日のため

溢れる涙　連声に響け　忘却の剣へと
刹那さに溺れてゆく魂　浮遊して往く光
空を切り裂いて　此の世界　希望を抱いて逝こう

独りで彷徨った夜に　すれ違う輪廻の鼓動
綴られるその紋章　CROSSOVERしてる

涸れて往くその涙が　罪と罰と贖いの
色に染められていても　友と交わした明日のため

悲しい過去が　束縛するなら　運命まで逆らって
天へと強く拳掲げ　命まで捧げよう
刻む魂は　此の世界　変えるために在るから…

黒き月が眠る夜　赤い涙　毀れてく
それぞれの視線の先　友と交わした明日がある

終わることない　涙が滲んで　暗闇に閉ざされた
静寂が包み込んだ世界　音も立てずに消えた

溢れる涙　連声に響け　忘却の剣へと
刹那さに溺れてゆく魂　浮遊して往く光
空を切り裂いて　此の世界　希望を抱いて逝こう
