sanner This is a difficult thread for me. I'm autistic enough that 95% of the songs I have saved locally are Anime OPs and EDs, I fear I'll end up making a huge post flooding the thread. I thought I'd take a peek at my Music folder and only name my "absolute best" but that's already gone astray.
Howling - abigdon boys school
The first Darker than Black Opening, so good people forget DtB also has a great ED. More than that, this is a damn fun song to listen to, probably because it contains some English lyrics and some "interesting" lines as a result, that and the "DARKER THAN BLACK" sliding across the screen is goddamn iconic. NOW I'VE LOST IT
Hikari no Senritsu - Kalafina
The Sora no Woto Opening. Kalafina my beloved, I've never thought any of your songs were bad but this one takes the cake. This is easily one of my most listened songs ever since I found it and I'm starting to get scared of how I don't seem to get tired of it unlike other songs I've listened to dozens of times.
It fits the anime it was made for quite perfectly, although maybe it should have been swapped with the ED? The visuals are some of my favorite as well.
Database - Man With a Mission
Counteraction Rising. Yeah, we are ready for the punchline. There's no use with all your gimmicks. SO CHECK THIS OUT!
The first Log Horizon Opening. This is the pinnacle of a fun OP for me, just as iconic if not more iconic than Howling, the first guitar riff at the beginning, all the stupid English lines, how overkill it is - it's amusing as much as it is great.
Your Song - Yunchi
Log Horizon gets two mentions. The Ending this time, and also a reversal of the OP. It works really nicely as an ED, it's not my favorite ED song ever and probably not my favorite ED visually but it just works.
I couldn't find a video of it unfortunately.
And other OPs and EDs I absolutely have to mention but won't talk about or link to in order not to bloat my post:
Yake Ochinai Tsubasa - Tada Aoi Charlotte ED
Harvest Moon Night - Shino Shimoji & Aoi Yuuki Hakumei to Mikochi ED
The Light Before We Land - The Delgados Gunslinger Girl OP
More One Night - Minase Inori & Kubo Yurika Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou ED
Asayake no Starmine - Imai Asami Plastic Memories ED I cri every tiem
Lumeinshin I thought we'd already had a thread on this
SHOCKING that we didn't
You might be confusing it with the OSTs thread.
Also bumping Melissa.
