User blog comment:Jojo-a-gogo/Do you guys think that the 2011 anime will continue to use "Departure" as an opening theme throughout the whole series?/@comment-48285-20121007193349

Personally, I think that they've milked "Departure" of everything it has. Now, granted, I haven't seen the latest episode (and won't until tomorrow - just my way of doing things. I might watch it later today, but I might be busy with family [and Canadian Thanksgiving] as I usually am on Sundays), but I don't see how they can make it a "new opening" (like they did with the "Second Version") for the next episodes. They've used up pretty much the whole song.

So, in answer to the question, I'd prefer a new opening by somebody different.
