The opening sequence is also excellent. It’s packed with references to various cultural works (Spiderman, LotR, Nirvana, and a bunch of others), and I probably didn’t even catch half of them.

the ones I recognized:

Footlose


Dumb&Dumber


Trainspotting


Nirvana Nevermind


The Usual Suspects


I think this is Breakfast Club but that it isn't in a hallways throws me off


The Evil Dead


Lord of the Rings


Fight Club


Spiderman 3


Pulp Fiction


Saturday Night Feaver


I feel like I've seen this scene but I can't place it. It's like on the tip of my tongue.


Either way, anime YouTuber will have a field day with this one. I can't wait to see a side by side of the entire opening with the original shots.
