I have picked out a couple of my current favorite openings and endings for the season below. 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. I have split the list into a couple groups below.

From shows I am watching:

• Villainess Level 99 OP2 - LOVE or HATE? - I had originally written that this song reminds me of Myth & Roid, but then found out that this is sung by the former vocalist of the group. So, seems like my ear didn’t lead me astray.
• The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic OP - Cure - A decent punk anthem combined with some dramatically styled visuals makes a pretty fun OP. It helps that I have also really been enjoying the show.
• Delicious in Dungeon ED - Party!! - One large heap of big band instrumentation, a healthy portion of upbeat J-pop style and a sprinkling of Studio Trigger concept art mix together for the perfect digestif to each helping of this show.
• Metallic Rouge OP - Rouge - This song feels like a such a cool throwback and I love it. I just wish the whole show lived up to this OP.

From shows I am not watching:

• Bucchigiri?! ED - Love Je t’aime - I have no idea what this show is about, but I love this ED. It is a fun mishmash of music and playful visual styling. Just a great little jam.
• Mashle 2nd Season OP - Bling-Bang-Bang-Born - I don’t even know how to start describing this one. Some really impressive rapping combines with a catchy, eclectic mix of musical influences all paired with some really silly and creative animation make this an OP that I have really liked.
• Brave Bang Bravern! OP - Baban to Suisan! Bang Bravern - This song is an unapologetic throwback to shows of old - and it kicks total ass. I have no idea if the show lives up to this OP, but this OP is some S-tier stuff.

Some quick honorable mentions:

• 'Tis Time for Torture Princess OP - Massakasa Magic! - really fun and upbeat with a silly outro
• Kingdom 5th Season OP - Douka - A great J-rock song with dynamic animation. The ED is also pretty great.
• The Unwanted Undead Adventurer ED - Keep Your Fire Burning - A slow, soulful, acoustic ballad with some great vocals and stylized art.
• Tsukimichi 2nd Season ED1 - Aa Jinsei ni Namida Ari - Some rare, baritone male CV singing!

Just for fun, as I was going through a bunch of these to put the list together, I ran across a couple that I wanted to share, not because I liked them, but because I…well…didn’t know what to make of them for one reason or another.

WTF was that:

• Delusional Monthly Magazine OP - Overscientific! - I don’t even dislike how…experimental…the music here was, but the visuals just left me with way more questions than I want to spend time to find out answers to.
• Sasaki and Peeps ED - Aimai Girl - Again, I find the music inoffensive, but the animation is just…not to my taste. I at least give them credit for trying to experiment. I have been really enjoying this show so far otherwise.
• Snack Basue ED1 and ED2 - I know nothing about this show, but they seem to end their episodes with the CVs doing karaoke (you can even sing along with the words on the live-action video in the background!)…it is a bit weird without context.
• Brave Bang Bravern! ED - Souen no Shouzou - After highly recommending the OP earlier, the ED threw me for a total loop. I thought that this show was an action-oriented super robot story. Instead, the ED is like a fever dream in which the ship between Ice Man and Maverick set sail. I checked the AniList page for the series and got a chuckle at the tags Boy’s Love, Nudity, and Swordplay all listed for this show. I really like the ED, but was just surprised at how different an experience it was compared to the OP.
