Reflection
This opening got a little boring for me personally as there was not much visuals and there was only titles and characters names. There is nothing much I can really do to comment on the opening as there was nothing much to see but saying that I do think having the last 20 seconds of the opening was really good as it created enigma and made the audience want to watch more.
