"Howling" remains a staple in anime music playlists because it captures the "Shonen spirit" without feeling cliché. It’s a sophisticated piece of rock that balances melody with raw power. For fans, hearing the opening notes of "Howling" immediately evokes the image of Meliodas drawing his sword against the darkness, ready to face an impossible foe.
The TV-size version of the song is elevated by the opening animation. The beat drops often sync perfectly with the introduction of the Ten Commandments, specifically the menacing reveal of Estarossa and Zeldris. The fast-paced editing during the chorus—showing the Sins in mid-combat—complements the driving percussion of the track, making it one of the most "skippable-resistant" openings of its era.
This wasn't the first time these two bands joined forces. Following the success of "7 -seven-" (the ending theme for the first season), the return of FLOW × GRANRODEO felt like a "hero’s homecoming."
The interplay between the three vocalists (Kohshi, Keigo, and KISHOW) creates a sense of scale. When they harmonize during the chorus, it creates a "wall of sound" effect that feels heroic.
