Let's talk about music in Anime!

Hey Guys, Let's talk about music in Anime! Talk about Openings, Endings and Soundtracks etc. basically everything which is related to music and Anime. Which Openings and Endings are your favourites or what band do you often listen to which produces Anime music?

What Anime handled music, soundtrack, opening and ending best in your opinion that you would consider them 'Masterpiece' because of Music?

For me it's 'Your Name' and 'Chainsaw Man Reze Arc'. Both of these movies handled music so perfectly.

Anything from hiroyuki sawano is a masterpiece, no ost has come close to me imo

gud_fellow2026-01-01 22:03

Don't forget the GOAT, Kensuke Ushio.

MarvinTraveler2026-01-02 00:28

Ushio is the one responsible for The Dangers in my Heart soundtrack, which is freaking amazing, subtle music perfectly aligned with the mood on every scene.

To me the best composer to actually made music for anime has been Yoko Kanno, with Joe Hisaishi and Hiroyuki Sawano right up there.

sloBrodanChillosevic2026-01-02 03:48

Came in here to say 86 so agreed on that one

Erik_v22026-01-01 22:03

Naruto and Haikyu have some of the best music in anime if you ask me.

rockqc2026-01-02 06:35

Say what you will about Naruto as a show, but damn that show had some bangers.

mmihaly2026-01-01 22:11

Soundtracks are often (keyword-not all the time) better than openings or endings. Kaguya-sama has good openings and endings, but its soundtracks are masterpieces.

On the other hand, Toradora has good soundtracks, but its openings and endings are better imk

gud_fellow2026-01-01 22:29

Got it. But do you know any Anime which has Perfect music. Opening + soundtrack + ending. For me it is 'Your Name' and 'Chainsaw Man'. Radwips absolutely cooked with Music in 'Your Name' which made the movie phenomenal. Kenshi Yonezu made opening and ending which suits so well to Chainsaw Man and Kensuke Ushio cooked with the soundtracks.

mmihaly2026-01-01 22:32

>Opening + soundtrack + ending.

Maybe Rurouni Kenshin, but Kaguya-sama also fits this. I said its soundtracks are vastly better than the op's+ed's, but those are very good too. I'd also Karekano and maybe Grand Blue too

Embarrassed-Change242026-01-01 22:12

Neon Genesis Evangelion a cruel angel’s thesis!

Ziyaadjam2026-01-02 01:00

And the many renditions of Fly Me to the Moon like Claire’s version

HalcyonDrift2026-01-01 22:13

Off the top of my head recently I really liked the music that helped accentuate Dandadan's tone and atmosphere. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NImgJgvQww8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NImgJgvQww8)

Generally a big fan of synth/techno to help highlight intensity.

HobnobsTheRed2026-01-01 22:14

Girls' Last Tour is perfection for music. The special ED for ep 5 (and the scene leading up to it) is probably my favourite ever ED and Kenichiro Suehiro created a modern classical masterpiece with his work on the OST as a whole.

I imported the official release on CD and it has become not just my favourite OST in anime but top of the pile across any medium.

GooseinaGaggle2026-01-01 23:24

I'm always drawn to 瞳二映景色, the song at the very beginning of episode 1. Somehow it elicits a whole range of emotions. From the anxiety of the initial piano to the hopefullness of the indecipherable lyrics

HobnobsTheRed2026-01-02 01:51

(I take it you mean 瞳ニ映ル景色, which is how it's spelled on the OST cover.)
That's a lovely piece, and definitely sets the tone well as the opening track. As well as that one, Ep 1 has two of my other favourites. Hazumu Kokoro (the piano-driven piece when Yuu and Chi emerge above ground) is beautifully elegant, and Seijaku no Tabiji (the outro music right at the end of the ep) really encapsulates the feel of the show.

Beautiful music all through the show though, and worth anyone listening to.

ChamberHP2026-01-01 22:22

Openings: Ambivalent by uru(The apothecary diaries s1, part 2), Shayou by yorushika( The dangers in my heart), Sunny by Yorushika(Frieren s1 part 2), Summer time ghost by Wednesday campanella (Kowloon generic romance), Feel by Hitsujibungaku (Secrets of the silent witch), Telepath by Yorushika (Kaina, the great snow smth), Sign by aimer (Spice and wolf remake), Platform by Uru (Dusk beyond the end of the world) and kusushiki by Mrs Green apple (The apothecary diaries s2, part 2)

Endings: Sister by WON( the too perfect saint), Re:frain by aimer (After the rain), Hebi by Yorushika (Orb on the movements of the earth), no man's world by Otoha( Dr Stone S4 part 2), Lily by Reina ueda( This monster wants to eat me) ,Color by Yama (SpyXfamily s1 part 2) and Oz by Yama (Ranking of Kings)

Favorite Band: Yorushika
Artist: suis from Yorushika and Uru

The dangers in my heart s1 and s2 handled everything so perfectly like violet evergarden, both the soundtracks brought tears even though the situations were complete polar opposites

Whendfield1232026-01-01 22:22

The Soundtrack in frieren and witch from mercury really stood out to me.

ChickMcNuggie2026-01-01 23:35

The Frieren soundtrack somehow ended up being my most listened to album of 2024. I hadn’t listened to it before the last week of the year.

Cornpop_mcgoo2026-01-01 22:29

I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite but the OP to Apocalypse Hotel deserves some attention. It’s delightful.

brundylop2026-01-01 22:31

Favorite OPs off the top of my head:

- Flyers by Bradio (Death Parade)
- Like a Flower by Japanese Shakira (Apothecary Diaries)
- Hey Kids by Oral Cigarettes (Noragami)
- Ao No Kirameki by Spica (Dress up Darling)

Favorite ED:
- Shiko No Uta by Nujabes (Samurai Champloo)
- Zaki by Zutomayo (Chainsaw Man)
- Call of the Night by Creepy Nuts (Call of the Night)

Gintama and Sailor Moon have a ton of “within the show” music pieces that accentuate the funny and sad and exciting moments

gud_fellow2026-01-01 22:37

I like Call of The Night's Music too. I often listen to Openings and Endings. Season 1's op and ed were good. Season 2's op was better. The Soundtracks were good too.

I also listen to The Apothecary Diaries Opening 1 and 3.

Molecularsequel2026-01-02 00:56

You have amazing taste!

unoriginalasshat2026-01-02 04:56

Great selection in ops!

Frieren, Re:Zero, 86, Made in Abyss, AOT & Tokyo Ghoul

anonchan4042026-01-01 22:39

Listen to original Bleach OST and OP/ED songs. Studio Pierrot anime in general has a good amount of OST.

Aokiji_Arara2026-01-01 22:40

My favourite composer is Kevin Penkin. My favourite OSTs are "Gravity" from Made in Abyss and "VOH" (also from Made in Abyss). I also love "Le chant de Roma" from Akame Ga Kill!, "Dark Aria" from Solo Leveling and "Onika Hitoki" from Gintama.

Favourite openings are: Golden Kamuy OP 2 and OP 4, D.Gray-Man OP 3, Gintama: Yorinuki OP 5, Made in Abyss OP 2, Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte OP, Tales of Symphonia the Animation OP 3, Pet OP, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni OP, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 OP 2, Darker than Black OP 3 and some other openings I've probably forgotten.

Favourite Endings are: Gintama ED 8, Hunter x Hunter (2011) ED 2, The Fable ED 2, Bakuman ED 3, Naruto Shippuden ED 27, Fate/Zero special ED (eps. 18-19) "Manten", Wolf's Rain ED, Claymore ED and some other songs. If we are counting movie endings, then I love all of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel movie endings by Aimer ("Hana no Uta", "I beg you", "Haru wa Yuku"), "Wadachi" by Spyair from the final Gintama movie, and a lot of Kara no Kyoukai movie endings by Kalafina ("Aria" from movie 4, "Sprinter" from movie 5, "Fairytale" from movie 6, "Oblivious" from movie 1).

Lyradni2026-01-01 22:41

I love Haikyuu’s music all around. Love the openings. Feels inspirational. I like a lot of the soundtrack as well, with its country vibes (no, not like american country music), and even more inspirational music that motivates me.

Inevitable-Branch7132026-01-01 22:43

I have a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet dedicated to this, 😅. For me, tops are the OP for I Left my A Rank Party and Spy x Family S02. Also the OP for A Sign Of Affection, and the Ending of Pseudo Harem. I have a lot of others, but those are the ones that pop into my head immediately.

bagman_2026-01-02 02:02

You’re not the only one my friend

SliderGamer552026-01-01 22:45

If I'm being honest, I rarely think about the actual background OST for an anime. Not because they're bad or unmemorable, but it takes something special or specific to remember it unless I'm currently watching it or are actively reminded of it.

To me its often the anime I was into as a teenager more than any of them that I think of, and that's because that's also when I was the most listening to game soundtracks so anime soundtracks fit right in. Like Naruto even has the fight version of Orochimaru's theme, which to me is one of the most JRPG things to happen in anime despite how many modern anime blatantly have in-universe game mechanics. That, One Piece and Detective Conan, especially because of the length of the latter two, define anime OSTs to me, because I've heard those songs countless times.

Though shout out to The World God Only Knows, that made the most grand song to describe one girl's love of books, wonderfully over the top song use that made that scene so memorable and always made the song itself memorable.

gh0stfac3killah0072026-01-01 22:48

CALL OF THE NIGHT

Hard dope and amazing atmosphere and soundtracks. so good.

puchirus2026-01-01 22:54

I've been a huge fan of Creepy Nuts since before they broke into the anime sphere, so hearing the call of the night OST was an absolute treat. Mirage is a song I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I do?!

gh0stfac3killah0072026-01-01 23:02

dude!!!

thank you for the band and song name.

this is one of those posts and comments that make me really enjoy Reddit / subreddit comments sections.

dope and thanks again!!

puchirus2026-01-01 23:29

Hell yeah!!!! It makes me glad to find fans of my favorite band in the wild. What a way to start the year out right, with some amazing music! Enjoy the venture into the rabbit hole bro 🙏

Animatrix_Mak2026-01-02 20:59

Btw they also did Dandadan S1 opening and Mashle opening as well

gh0stfac3killah0072026-01-02 22:24

amazing I can totally see and hear it now for Dandadan. thanks homie!

Animatrix_Mak2026-01-02 20:58

I really really really love their Dandadan OP and later found out they also did Mashle's OP as well which was in trend at that time and found out they did call of the night as well.

Truly goated tbh

danmalek4662026-01-01 23:23

Yofukashino Uta by Creepy Nuts if on Apple Music. FYI.

HTG_112026-01-01 22:48

Bungo Stray Dogs, every single Opening and Ending is a masterpiece, including the opening for the movie, AND an opening for a fucking live action movie AND 12 character specific tracks WHICH YOU NEVER ACTUALLY HEAR

SwingyWingyShoes2026-01-01 22:58

Dandadan op1 and one piece op 26 come to mind for me. I really loved both the aesthetics and music for both. I dont really bother listening to endings much but i enjoyed one piece ending 22 a lot as well. I have them all on my spotify which i dont tend to do since im lazy.

For my favourite ost it has to be Number One in Bleach, it always makes a scene way better.

MetroMonk2026-01-01 23:00

In/Spectre - season one ending theme

Kill La kill - Blumenkrantz

Elfen Lied - Opening theme

Samurai Champloo - the entire soundtrack, but especially Obokuri-eeumi.

Ginsan-AK2026-01-01 23:14

The one that I've been thinking about a lot lately is God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, such a banger song.

only my railgun is a blast from the past too, I remember this was my friend's favorite anime song for a long time. I love the Toaru series and wish it was more popular so we can get a full adaptation of the novel.

Bios from Guilty Crown, every time I listen to Guilty Crown music, it makes me want to go back and finish up the series. I didn't finish the anime back then, but now I really want to. This show have amazing music.

Joseph_01122026-01-01 23:17

The sound track from the ending scene of Made in Abyss s1 is a masterpiece, manages to convey such emotion. Link [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/s/hCmZYXz3R7) if anyone wishes to watch/ listen.

icchann2026-01-01 23:18

I accidentally deleted all my anime music from my phone. I don't use streaming, I'm assuming that's what you kidd use. Anyway I'm too lazy to get it all back. I wish there was a YouTube channel that had seasonally anime ops and eds to try and remember what's worth listening to.

jesusrodriguezm2026-01-01 23:23

Greats OSTs (in no particular order): AOT, MHA, Chainsaw man, Dark Gathering; Fate Stay (all of them), Hells Paradise, JJK, Demon Slayer, Solo leveling, 86, Nier: automata

It is impossible to be sad while Misato’s theme is playing

PPGN_DM_Exia2026-01-02 00:06

My favorite anime OST is definitely Gundam Unicorn. As good as Sawano's work is in stuff like Kill la Kill and AOT, I still think Unicorn is his best work since it shows more emotional range than a lot of others he's worked on.

As for OP/EDs, I think as whole I think Golden Kamuy has my favorite collection of them.

regibegi2026-01-02 00:19

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is superior to the first series in almost every sense, but damn, not the music 😭
The song Bratja? It gives me goosebumps, it truly elevated the scenes. The banger openings snd endings by Asian Kung Fu Generation? Never skipped those!

Just a random thought, slightly relevant to the thread.

JaJuPhi2026-01-02 00:45

Fly High OP in Haikyuu
Hikari Are OP in Haikyuu

Blue Bird OP in Naruto

Rising Hope OP in The Irregular at Magic High School

Ziyaadjam2026-01-02 01:01

Tank by The Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop and The Real Folk Blues, also from Cowboy Bebop

Iloveahrisears2026-01-02 01:18

The entire soundtrack of Monogatari is a masterpiece, across all the seasons. It also has upwards of 20 unique openings that are all bangers and sung by the voice actors in character. I don't think anything can match it.

PanamanCreel2026-01-02 01:44

My favorite openings are:

"Inner Universe" from Ghost in the shell

"What's up people" from Death Note.

Tobenaikedo2026-01-02 01:51

EUREKA SEVEN

There is not a single bad or average opening in it (DAYS is a musical masterpiece, not other way to describe it) every track is fitting and memorable plus STORYWRITER is simply the greatest background song of all time

Mr_Rock-haley2026-01-02 02:33

The best songs of all time are:
●Daten - Yofukashi no Uta
●Seishun Complex - Bocchi the Rock
●hana ni natte - Kusuriya no hitorigoto
●Idol - Oshi no Ko
●zankyou sanka - Kimetsu no Yaiba

gud_fellow2026-01-02 12:38

Bad_Doto_Playa2026-01-02 03:55

Gundam Unicorn, Madoka Magica, Reze Arc and Re Zero.

Vaadwaur2026-01-02 04:30

My favorite OST is a tie between OG Hellsing and Bleach, focusing on the Hueco Mundo arc.

cHinzoo2026-01-02 04:35

My favorite anime OST belongs to Clannad, but I want to use this moment to give a shoutout to the original Fate/Stay Night anime, which most people tend to skip and thus miss out on the soundtrack. Yes, the Ufotable ones got amazing animation, better pacing and honestly are a much better product, but the OG trumps it with its OST. I can’t remember a single OST apart from the opening and ending songs from the other Fate routes, but I still remember the ones from FSN after all those years. Definitely worth a listen if u haven’t seen the anime. Kenji Kawai and Jun Maeda the GOATs!

Some really memorable ones were:
&nbsp;

[Unmei no Yoru](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJXw0lL5-vA)

[Kodoku na Junrei](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLFg30ACkY0)

[Roar of the Heaven & Earth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIEk0U782rM)

[Fuyu no Yousei](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLhSEH6nK_w)

[Emiya](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xig98aL6M3c) Of course. :P

And those OP and Ending songs, mygod:

[Disillusion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy7Q77ZD_ME)

[Anata ga Ita Mori](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj3Oq3llOaQ)

[Hikari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXO6moMabnQ)

[Kimi to no Ashita](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOHxtgqgnM)

unoriginalasshat2026-01-02 04:53

There are many good ops and eds but I want to focus on the soundtracksotherwise I'd be here all day. When I think of anime soundtracks these are some of my favourites:

- Frieren
Its one of my recent favorites, with Zoltraak being my most listened one. My love of that show definitely got amplified by the soundtrack.

- Parasyte
I have a hard time choosing my favourite track. It's between I AM and NEXT TO YOU. The former sticking into my mind as one of the most memorable battle themes of all time for me and the latter just being memorable because if the association with the scenes where it plays.

- Angel Beats!
Not only one of my favourite anime and ops of all time but has a good soundtrack as well. My precious treasure, Thousand enemies and Play Ball being my faves. I'd almost say that the anime is too short for how good the soundtrack is.

- Madoka Magica
Also one of the most memorable soundtracks for me, Decretum being one of my favourites and Credens Justitiam is iconic in its own right.

- Higurashi
The main theme in particular is one that comes to my mind when I think about the anime soundtrack specifically. It's got the perfect mood setter for that anime.

- Mushishi
Speaking of soundtracks that are good moodsetters I think Mushishi is one of my favourites among those. While I couldn't tell you specific track names, the soundtrack sets the mood for the show very well in my opinion.

- Fairy Tail
While I have lots of things to say about the anime itself... music has never been one of my complaints. I like the battle themes in particular. The Three Dragonslayers and Against Magic being my favourites among those.

Just like in games, to me a good soundtrack is something that compliments the anime well and fades in the background or one that stands out in a good way

Animesiac2026-01-02 05:59

> What Anime handled music, soundtrack, opening and ending best in your opinion that you would consider them 'Masterpiece' because of Music?

When **Cowboy Bebop** came out, it changed everything for me. The music was so good, and I was really blown away by how well it integrated into the show. I had never seen an anime before that that made such good use of music.

I realize that there are a lot of people here who weren't even born then, but it really was an pivotal moment in the history of anime in my opinion.

lobsterwine2026-01-02 06:37

I've found I really enjoy the anime music created by Kroi. This includes [Sakamoto Days 2nd cour opening](https://youtu.be/PjksZ-iUdb8?si=6elMwh7SwkhWXQQx), [Under Ninja's opening](https://youtu.be/3KuI3gAtDIE?si=3usFw18hDNY9i1aJ), and [Bucchigiri's opening](https://youtu.be/r11ZrK-5Tzc?si=_0wyx-eBmjN_sB6S). (Although I didn't like Bucchigiri itself)

I've found their actual music is very hit or miss for me. There's funky undertones in everything, which I do love, but a lot of it is R&B heavy on top of that and sounds far too sparkly/clean for my preference. *But* their fully funky music is *so good* and it seems like that's the kind of music they mostly make for anime. I really hope they get chosen to make more openings in the future. I'm not sure I want them for endings, because most ending songs are calmer and that would probably be their more R&B style.

mercury_pointer2026-01-02 07:04

TeddyLoid's work on "Tojima Tonsuboro Wants to be a Kamen Rider" is outstanding and matches the shows wackiness perfectly.

Historical_Pie_60412026-01-02 07:23

My absolute favorite soundtrack of all time in an anime, has to be the soundtrack for the second season of attack on titan! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!

liforrevenge2026-01-02 08:29

Can we talk about how Eureka Seven had an insanely good soundtrack and even integrated it diagetically. The opening and ending songs are good, the score is good, and the electronic and rock tracks that feature throughout are incredible. It's easily my most listened to anime soundtrack bar none.

DoktorZaius2026-01-02 12:27

Lot of great picks here, I'd throw in Clevatess from last summer for a banger of an ED.

Captain_Britainland2026-01-02 12:37

People mentioning a lot of action but the osts of yuru camp and aria are perfect imo.

BusinessBaby1472026-01-02 13:04

Most of the music from Macross started it for me.. from late 80s to 2000… wanted to start a nostalgia thread but I don’t qualify to post a new one yet.. my list:
- Macross
- Kimagure Orange Road
- Patlabor
- Record of Lodass war
- Maison Ikoku
- Evangelion
- 3x3 Eyes
- Most Studio Ghibli movies
… will list more if I can recall more

I've enjoyed everything from Wednesday Campanella. Recently watched Eightysix and Sawano hooked me. Now I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and just running through the world is awesome since he did the music. Although I'm not a fan of the generic hip-hop NLA music.

I really enjoy all of the OPs from Konosuba and DanDaDan. I'm my younger years, I listened to a lot of Seatbelts and Pillows from Cowboy Bebop and FLCL fame.

Monogatari series has great OPs and EDs, but I believe those are the VAs, so it's not like you can go find more outside of the show. Bocchi the Rock however, even being the VAs, does have more outside of the show (Kessoku Band)

Then there's Ghibli movies. The Princess Mononoke soundtrack is perfect. Howls Moving Castle also has an incredible soundtrack. Hisaishi knows how to get the tears flowing.

My fav for jamming is Dandadan.

But the one I just can't skip and love to listen and watch is Ao to Kirameki from my dressup darling. I've made an entire post about how much I love it. It's funny wholesome and lovely

Recently the Kingdom S6 ending visuals are top notch. It looks more like painting than an animation and is so beautiful

Edit: honorable mention to Death Note, it's OP, ED, soundtrack makes the anime goated as well

Makoto Shinkai's movies (including his OVAs *She and Her Cat* and *Voices of a Distant Star*) prior to *The Garden of Words* had REALLY outstanding music composed by this guy who goes by the name Tenmon. *The Garden of Words* had a different composer, wasn't quite as good imo but still good. I didn't really enjoy most of the Radwimps ones all that much; Your Name was the best of the Shinkai-Radwimps stuff, but it just went downhill from there imo.

A lot of the Ghibli ones: Joe Hisashi, Yuji Nomi, Shigeru Nagata, Michio Mamiya, etc.

And of course Kenji Kawai, Shiro Sagisu, Akira Senju, Yōko Kanno, etc.

I loved *May I Ask For One Final Thing*'s ending song. *Frieren*'s first ending song (Anytime, Anywhere) is also great.

For openings, my first thoughts go toward *All Saints Street* and the third opening of *Apothecary Diaries* (the one with mirrors and frogs)

There are many more, but I can't think about them off the top of my head.

Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny have the best OST of any anime series I have ever seen.
