Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro Opening

Dirty (Nightmare)

English Translation:
Painful light, turning into a darkness blotting out the dazzling morning sun
Hiding and blending with the ugliness
There's no need for a bible

the DIRTY butterfly which influences all.
It has spread its wings

I believe this world is a lie, 
everything has been deceived
Its too late to go back now
And dreams too are being trampled on

And so...

Showing the future's cinema of despair
The faded reel still turns even now
Without laughter and without tears
Projecting a withered and finished me
The heart's sky that had already closed
Can't even shout out loud any more
In the vast darkness nothing can be heard, but what's scary is being alone

I can't reach it, the prayers of yesterday

I believe weakness is bad, 
everything has been damaged
By hiding the smiles, 
everything has been deceived
Its too late to go back now
And dreams too are being trampled on

And so...

Showing the future's cinema of despair
The faded reel still turns even now
Without laughter and without tears
Projecting a withered and finished me
The heart's sky that had already closed
Can't even shout out loud anymore
In the vast darkness nothing can be heard, but whats scary is being alone

Showing the future's cinema of despair
The faded reel still turns even now
Just like a broken toy

I would just like to warn you that the part 'There's no need for a bible' will not be discussed in this article. I would just rant on and on about religious things that might take up the entire post. This song is very poetic and very symbolic. It's funny that it has absolutely nothing to do with the anime. The song it'self is pretty dark and negative despite it's fast beat and rockin' music. I couldn't find out why they chose this song or why they even decided to put it in an anime that doesn't even have a dark twist. The openings from Black Butler always have something to say about the main character. I can't completely agree or like the song because of the lyrics. Mainly the part where they say that there's no need for a bible disturbs me. Maybe it's correlating to Neuro being a demon and all.

This song would actually go well if it was a Kuroshitsuji opening. Unlike Black Butler, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro's plot isn't as dark as it seems to be. In fact, Katsuragi and Neuro act very close to each other as if they're family. Neuro has a liking to tease and taunt Katsuragi, on the other hand Katsuragi lets him do whatever he wants seeing as Neuro is a powerful demon. Katsuragi trusts Neuro enough to the point where they act like siblings. Neuro may not be able to feel compassion and such but he too has grown close to Yako in the following episodes. In Ciel and Sebastian's case, they're stuck in a master-servant relationship that has very little trust but confidence in each other's ability.
