My fave OP/EDs this season:
Highspeed Etoile OP - “ADRENALIZED” by Mizuki Nana the ED, Fanfare by SCANDAL is good too.
TP Bon ED - “Tears In The Sky” Sounds like something for LotGH:DNT
Girls Band Cry OP - TOGENASHI TOGEARI “Wrong World” Rockin!
The Fable ED - Odd Numbers by Umeda Cypher Nice rap!
Viral Hit OP - Wild Boy by MA55IVE THE RAMPAGE Another nice rap!
Rinkai ED - Override! Completely rockin’ girls harmonizing
Tonari No Yokai OP - Obake Himawari by Pii Super chill, positive song supporting the show’s vibe
The OP for Wind Breaker is good too. As it turns out, the actual music video for the song, Absolute Zero by natori, is also animated, and very cool https://skipvids.com/?v=LFoyXEFaz2Q
I tend to judge OP/EDs by the music moreso than the animation, or the actual quality of the show itself.
TP Bon wasn’t on the list I was looking at, so thanks for bringing them to my attention. The ED is pretty good and I like it a lot. One thing that surprised me is that it is ~2 minutes long as opposed to the ~90 seconds that is standard.
I do really like the ED for The Fable, but the visuals are such a letdown by comparison. It’s the opposite for me with the Tonari no Yokai OP where I really like the comfy visuals, but the song just didn’t really do it for me.
Like most OP/EDs these days, there’s an actual music video for the Odd Numbers song. That’s the version that I actually have bookmarked on my list.

If you watch long enough, you can see R-Shitei from Creepy Nuts, of Maschle S2 OP, Call Of The Night OP+ED fame, dropping some bars.
After some reflection, Tonari No Yokai’s OP is definitely a case of positive association with the show on my part, but it is a perfect song to put the audience in the mood for this show.
