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:
Just a note that you can absolutely use this thread like you would any other general discussion thread. So, feel free to post questions/comments/recommendations like any other week.
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).
I only rarely even note OPs or EDs. I always watch them the first time through, and for a lot of series, that means the first two episodes, since they often don’t formalize them until the second episode. But from there on out, more often than not, they just become a minute and a half that I skip.
So the first measure for me is if it’s something that I actually keep watching all the way through. And this season, the only things that I habitually watch are both the OP and ED for Ikoku Nikki (the OP in particular is beautiful), the OP and ED for You and I Are Polar Opposites (honestly more for the graphics than the songs) and, for what it’s worth, the OP and ED of Yuusha no Kuzu (the OP is pretty decent musically - reminiscent of Mr. Bungle - but mostly it’s just that they fit the series especially well).
It’s likely noteworthy that I’m not watching Frieren or Oshi no Ko at all - I’m going to binge them later instead. I did watch the OPs and EDs just for the sake of this thread, but without the context of the shows themselves, I feel like I can’t really judge them. The rest - there’s some other good stuff out there, but nothing so impressive that I don’t generally skip it.
