It’s time for the seasonal OP/ED roundup! I want to hear about your favorite OPs and EDs for the season (alternatively, your least favorites!). If you are looking for a collection of them all for this season, you can find almost all of them at the link below:

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
OPs
Fate/strange Fake OP: “PROVANT” by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny & TAKUMA - looks and sounds vibrant, grand, and fitting to the series. I need more Jean-Ken Johnny in my anime themes.
You and I Are Polar Opposites OP: “Megane wo Hazushite” by noa - a wonderful mix of different visual techniques. Looking forward to see what magic Kyouhei Ishiguro creates next.
Tamon’s B-Side OP: “Sweet Magic” by F/ACE - the song is as cringe as most idol songs are, ngl, but it’s still fun and goes well with the visuals. I like how Utage wakes up at the end and thanks her God for sending her a sweet, sweet, sweet dream or something.
Medalist S2 OP: “Cold Night” by HANA - it has an upbeat, feel-good vibe about it. The dance routine is my favourite part.
Oshi No Ko S3 OP2: “Test Me” by CHANMINA - didn’t expect to ever like an Oshi no Ko theme, but here I am. It’s perfectly sensual and ominous. I haven’t read the source material, but it gives me “Hyakka Ryouran”'s levels of foreshadowing.
Frieren S2 OP: “lulu.” by Mrs. GREEN APPLE - I like the song more than “Yuusha” or “Haru”, but I prefer Haru’s crispier feel. New OP’s filter is bothering me, I’m not particularly fond of this hazy look.
In the Clear Moonlit Dusk OP: “Uruwashi” by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN - it’s not fancy, but both the song and the colour palette make it work.
EDs
Frieren S2 ED: “The Story of Us” by milet - it’s not “Anytime Anywhere”, but still a good song to accompany those majestic pencil drawings.
Trigun Stargaze ED: “Stardust” by FOMARE - baby, the stars shine bright. It’s beautiful. I like it a lot.
Shiboyugi ED: “Inori” by Chiai Fujikawa - I am not watching the show, but this ED is hauntingly beautiful. It’s gorgeous. Immaculate vibes.
I didn’t care for the theme overall but I liked the song: “Make Me Wonder” by Official HIGE DANdism from Darwin Jihen OP and “Yoake no Uta” by jo0ji from JJK The Culling Game ED.
