When I was a boy, I dismissed the first OP of Overlord, Clattanoia.

>What is this autotuned gook wailing about? His "miselies" and "mystelies"? What is this pussy ass rainbow shit? What is this audiovisual diarrhea? What is this coombait yandere?
I looked at the surface, and saw that rainbow intro that reminded me of disco ball colors and ridiculously colorful candy wrap, followed by a bunch of powerpoints of characters with these graphic and visual design an indian would make, and these two RIDICULOUS children joyfully hopping around - but that is all noise, the shavings from someone's well-made wooden carving.
But now I am obsessed with the first ten seconds of the opening.
An uneducated man would be forgiven for assuming the creation of it went something like this:
>eeehh? nani? sugee... kira kira.... Tanaka-san, mite mite! Lainbow desu!
>*director comes in, retrieving the designated studio seppuku ceremonial tanto*
>Kenji-kun, you bling dishonor to our studi- Ehh? Nani? Kira-kira.. Ehh... Sugee...
>*throws the tanto aside, yelling YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU*
>PASSHON! Ora ora! Put all that in, Kenji-dono! You earned your koku of rice with this one

But in reality, these guys knew EXACTLY what they were doing. I can see it clear as day, now that I've matured, read everything from Sumerian mythology to Scandinavian, and absorbed the core philosophy of alchemy. I'm running out of space.

The first ten seconds of the opening, anons - watch them NOW.

That rainbow is a threshold. It's Ainz's gateway, RAINBOW BRIDGE into this new world, and representation and path of his power, arrogance and ambition. It's Bifröst, and the music is Heimdall's horn, and dirge for the world he's about to claim.
It is not a cheerful, colorful diarrhea - it's a spectrum. Every color in this world, all the beauty, and the world (the colors represent the world) he will absorb, and claim, and only leave the color black - the color that comes out from mixing all colors.
The contrast is sublime - this skeleton, death, and all this color - it's not tasteless, it's HIGH IQ SHIT.
There is no buildup other than the almost dischordant initial guitars, like rattling bones - it's an explosion, fortissimo without a crescendo, an audio attack that complements the visuals and represents them - the spectrum, colors of the entire world.
This next one might be (or might not be) a stretch, but I also feel like it's God's rainbow. Ainz is not a creator, he's an invader, usurper - the world was made by the "God" of this world, and the rainbow is God's promise - he's a blasphemer, twisting God's promise, and binding it to his will.

Now comes Albedo - she is no mere coombait - she is his flagbearer, his woman, his muse, a representation of perfect femininity, an almost maternal symbol. She is his High Priestess, and his goddess.
She is the Albedo to Ainz's Nigredo, his second step.The world, the rainbow is his Prima Materia. He needs wisdom, maturity, knowledge - his quest, his growth - Citrinitas, to achieve his Rubedo, his Magnum Opus.

He was bitching about it on twitter. The chinese got hold of it first and translated it, then it was translated from chinese to english. He wouldn't stop bitching about piracy for an entire month then just decided to he was going to end the series in a few volumes.
