AI-generated Anime Opening Song Garners Criticisms

An anime opening song completely generated by AI has begun circulating, sparking intense debate among netizens. 

Recently, on a Japanese forum, an anime opening song completely generated by artificial intelligence (AI) has begun circulating, sparking intense debate among users. According to the creator, the entire process, from animation to lyrics and melody, was produced by AI.

The creator wrote, “This is the unrecognized opening of a fictional anime created by AI called ‘Fubuga no Ranze.’ The lyrics and music were entirely entrusted to AI.”

The video, which mimics the opening sequence of a non-existent anime, has captured the attention of thousands of users on discussion platforms. Its quality has created both fascination and concern for the future of the anime industry, as this kind of technology could potentially replace human creativity in various stages of audiovisual production.

Among the notable comments, one user emphasized the surprisingly good quality of the AI-generated melody, saying, “The song is quite nice.”

While there were positive comments, many criticized the simplicity of the melody and animation in the video. One of them stated, “Recent anime openings seem like soulless industrial products, and this reflects that exactly.”

Other users speculated about the future of the anime industry, sharing, “In two years, this will be quite acceptable; in five years, it will be on par with human work, and in ten years, animation studios will shut down.”

This fictional anime opening highlights both the challenges and opportunities AI presents to the entertainment industry. While some view this technological advancement with optimism, others believe that human creativity remains irreplaceable.
