    I picked out my top three OP/EDs of the season for shows I am watching as well as shows I am not watching. I then threw in a couple rapid fire honorable mentions that I liked, but didn’t make the top three cut. I should mention that I tend to pay more attention to the audio than the visuals for OP/EDs, so keep that in mind as you go through my list. Without further ado, in no particular order…

    From shows I am watching

    • Konosuba OP - Growing Up - I had a hard time picking the OP or the ED for this show as they are both great. However, I really like the animation and storytelling of the OP. It is essentially a whole story arc of Konosuba in 90 seconds.
    • Spice and Wolf ED - Andante - I love this ED. It is a lot of fun and a bit cheeky, just like Holo herself. I always listen to this one after each episode.
    • Delicious in Dungeon ED2 - Kirakira no Hai - Another cour of my liking the ED for this show more than the OP. While last cour’s ED was super fun and upbeat (literally titled Party!!), this cour’s ED tones it down a little to reflect a change in tone of the show, while still retaining some of the fun that is never completely gone in this series.

    Honorable Mentions

    From shows I am not watching

    • The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases ED - Meritocracy - Some killer bass guitar playing in this song. The song literally slaps (the bass)!
    • Kaiju No. 8 OP - Abyss - There are some wild 3DCG visuals in this one. Pair that with a song that does an excellent job building up over 90 seconds and it is a winning combination. Though, I could imagine the visuals might be quite polarizing to some.
    • Yuru Camp ED - Asaka - I have not watched Yuru Camp, but from what I know of it, this song fits the vibe perfectly. It is such a laid back, but still fun song. I am a big fan.

    Honorable Mentions

    Finally, I just wanted to shout out the team over at animethemes.moe that have been making improvements to their site. The latest feature I have been enjoying is their shuffle feature. I have been having a lot of fun setting it to play random OPs/EDs with no limits. Just one thing to keep in mind that it can and will play NSFW things occasionally (it played this NSFW OP for me randomly, that is how I learned). As far as I can tell, there isn’t a way to toggle that off.
