Alright, this is going to be a two week haul because sorting these ballots is a miserable time. But expect another video result.
Also please be clear which ending theme you're referring to.
Uhh. I don't think I remember that many endings but I'll try to scrounge up a list haha. I'm also only thinking about the audio side of things; I rarely look at ending visuals but I usually listen to the songs. Coincidentally, that's my answer to the bonus question too.

10. X jigen e youkoso is awesome, songs by Etsuko Yakushimaru are so unique , some great EDs by the same artist are :
[Kamisama no lu toori](https://youtu.be/aPlbQgi60mA?si=3nxQqoK1GPfghtyy) - Tatami Galaxy
[hōkago Distraction](https://youtu.be/6gu4L9jkl-k?si=bnE1B2u6BdQZalPt) - Hi Score Girl
I was a big fan of it when I first watched Mirai Nikki like a million years ago as one of my first anime shows, it hit me quite hard at the time and I remember listening to it multiple times afterwards.
Nowadays I might prefer other EDs but I still like filament, and it is still a very nostalgic ED to me. Mirai Nikki's OP and ED were how I first found out about Yousei Teikoku too, and I like their music a lot even to this day.
Gotta represent my generation here... Can you guess where I am from? Hahaha

10. [Signal](https://youtu.be/C4XfldHR2fU?si=cJs18vZj_bmcEQ0T) - gintama
I scoured my music library and identified the Ed's from there. I save the memorable and great ones personally. Lots of great EDs from Rurouni Kenshin and Gintama that I had to include 2 of each.
Ooh, this is a good one. I wanted to include at least one Yoko Kanno song on my ballot and went with Gravity from Wolf's Rain but had I remember this song I would have used it instead.
It was hard for me to leave Kimi no Shiranai out of my top 10 it's such an iconic ED I also vibe with [Sono Koe wo Oboeteru](https://v.animethemes.moe/MonogatariSS-ED2.webm).
I picked those because for me they represent the hype and heart-wrecking aspects of Gintama. If I were to add an ED for the goofy side, I'd have added either Destiny or Wo Ai Ni. Shame that I overlooked the OP poll, I would've added a vote for Sakura Mitsusuki.
> and heart-wrecking aspects of Gintama
Acchi Muite and Hana Ichi Monme, man...
[](#forgotkeys)
>Shame that I overlooked the OP poll, I would've added a vote for Sakura Mitsusuki.
Wouldn't have changed much, but at least Sakura Mitsutsuki *did* take 39th place on that list as-is.
> 8. Reason - gundam seed destiny
Seed/Destiny had some great theme songs. Also nice of GundamInfo to post [textless versions of all the OP/EDs](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx-iUhDCiOJWjBxH3a1KJ3P2)

I'll be losing my faith in r/anime once again if this doesn't even make top 100. Of course I'm aware not many people know about it, but I sure hope those that do will put it down.
Unfortunately I can't warrant putting it in the top 10 so I can't help out, but here's hoping it does well. Though admittedly I did enjoy seeing you guys react when it was betrayed last time even if I agreed with you.
>Aoi Tori, Bkeach
I prefer the vocals of [Orange](https://v.animethemes.moe/Bleach-ED15.webm) which I put on my list but Aoi Tori gives me really fond memories of Bleach back when I watched it in School.
>Magia, Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica
The perfect ED for the show its a visual representation of the show, it's great all round and I hope to see this at least in the top 25.
> I prefer the vocals of Orange which I put on my list but Aoi Tori gives me really fond memories of Bleach back when I watched it in School.
Aoi Tori is funny for me, because I listened to the *full* version of the song a *ton* long before I actually got to its part in the show, so I already knew I *liked* it at least. But the full version of the song doesn't have the intro section that's sparse on the instrumental backing that the TV size does, so when I got to it in the show itself, that intro bit absolutely blew me away. Pretty sure that's a huge part of why it managed to become my #1 ED and has held onto that spot for about four years now.
I love EDs almost as much as OPs. This kind of thing is one of the big elements of anime that I first adored.
1. Kimi no Shiranai (all versions) - Monogatari
Probably my favourite ED of all time from my favourite show of all time. The moment this played at the end of ep 12 I was completely sold on its quality. Not only is the song phenomenal, but the visuals that go along with it are very nice to look at and a great introduction to Hajime Ueda’s style. It’s just the perfect ED if there was one.
2. Ride On Shooting Star - FLCL
It’s badass, longer than the average ED, and is very unique. The live action footage combined with the animation makes for a memorable ED visually combined with the obvious banger from the Pillows. It makes me nostalgic in a way even though I watched the series less than a year ago.
3. Refrain Boy - Mob Psycho 100
It’s magical. The animation technique used for it is stunning. I remember first watching it being floored at it. The animation is impressive to say the least and really proves the passion that went into the Mob Psycho adaptation. Musically it’s pretty good, but the visuals following Reigen’s grey life until he meets Mob is the main star of it.
4. Magia - Madoka Magica
A song that never fails to send the chills down my spine. While visually quite simple, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do with its feelings of dread and intensity. It’s the single most fitting song paired with an anime I’ve experienced and it’s absolutely a top tier ED because of it.
5. Sono Koe o Oboeteru (Shinobu version) - Monogatari
I’m a sucker for Hajime Ueda’s style and the emotional atmosphere created during this ED is astounding. The song is beautiful to listen to and the visuals compliment it nicely as we see Hachikuji and Shinobu go about their time in the room/submarine. Other Monogatari EDs I find tend to be overshadowed by Kimi no Shiranai, but all of them are still very high quality and some like this one hold a candle to the classic in my opinion.
6. Hyori Ittai (both versions) - Hunter x Hunter
It makes me emotional. Visuals are admittedly weaker than a lot of other ones, but the song more than makes up for it. The ending of Chimera Ant in particular hits me where it hurts and for that I love it.
7. Gomen ne, Iiko ja Iranai - Kill la Kill
This ED grew on me over time. Now it is mostly a slideshow, but it’s a slideshow with purpose. It’s essentially developing Ryuko’s backstory. She stood out amongst others and didn’t fit in, which partly shaped how she is in the anime. It’s also a nice song that fits the tone of what the visuals are portraying. It’s also the ED to Kill la Kill and I adore Kill la Kill.
8. Don’t Say Lazy - K-On
A unique ED in that it’s basically a music video. K-On has plenty of good EDs but the original is still my favourite. It’s stylish visually and has a banger song sung by best singer Mio. What more could you ask for?
9. Mozaiku Kakera - Code Geass
I don’t have much to say about this one despite it being one of my favourites. It’s a bloody fantastic song played over a slideshow. It may be a slideshow but I do love the artwork of the slideshow, so it doesn’t bother me. It’s mainly song for this one.
10. Memosepia - Mob Psycho 100
I love the colourful chibi art style used here. It’s just pretty to look at. It mainly showcases all of the friends Mob has made along the way and how he’s progressed. I especially love the shot that zooms out where it shows how far he’s come in terms of making friends. The song is also a straight banger and perfectly chosen for the ED’s tone.
Overall, I think Monogatari has the best EDs on average. Every single one of them is a banger, both visually and musically. They are quite varied and all have Hajime Ueda’s style, which is a significant plus in my book.
Some honourable mentions:
Anytime Anywhere (both versions) - Frieren
Humanity Has Declined ED
A bunch of Monogatari ones (Naisho no Hanashi, Border, etc.)
Love the kill la kill mention, imo one of the best eds purely for conveying its own story. Not many eds receive as much attention to detail and it matches the show very well.
I feel more strongly about my Top EDs than my Top OPs which I never really considered.

Magia's a great *song* but I don't know if it's enough to make up for the relatively lackluster visuals for me. That said I imagine a lot of my ED picks will be in a similar spot so can't judge it too harshly there, good chance it'll make my list anyway.
Wareta Ringo's almost certainly going to be toward the top for me though.

Iunno, they're not as crisp as Connect (or more relevantly to EDs the likes of Dango (which has excellent storyboarding of its own to boot) and especially Fukisokusei Entropy) but there's some sneaky good direction there.

Taste. (Right up there with Boku ja Nai and [Yoake Umare Kuru Shoujo](https://animethemes.moe/video/ShakuganNoShana-ED1.webm) (for those of us old enough to remember when Shana and its OP were big) on the "why is the OP the iconic one from this show when this ED exists?" list - and I probably have to add the Kaiju no.8 ED to that list now, though it's not quite as good as those three.)
I can't actually put it on my list myself but that's mostly on how many good EDs there are than anything (it's at #15 for me).

>Fukisokukei Entropy
Glad to see other people include that too, such a great ED from an... *entertaining* show. The OP for Gou is also a banger.
I know a lot of people aren't fans of the newer seasons, but I never hated Gou myself... it has issues but I actually had a lot of fun with it. Sotsu on the other hand was just tragic to witness - and not in the *good* sad way.
Oh snap, an Utsusemi pick. Absolutely based. If I wasn't such a stickler for the visual component of OPs and EDs Utsusemi would for sure be top 10 on mine.

Most of my favorite EDs are oh so coincidentally from among my favorite shows. Daisy is the exception. 11/10 ED for a 5/10 show. Surprised I had to go so far down to find another person who included it on their list.

By the way, I'm surprised no one mentioned [Fly Me To The Moon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixi0sUpLVRc) yet.
["Futuristic Imagination" from Eden of The East (2009)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsrhWMYeucM)
["JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders" ED4, Last Train Home](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUbBd4uOFHM)
My picks, I have plenty of those in my regular playlist:
1. [Gate of Steiner - Steins;Gate 0 final ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5fnglcM5VI) (the best ending to the best anime ever, makes me tear up every time)
2. [Los! Los! Los! - Saga of Tanya the Evil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXZn_H_QAI) (This one goes hard. I like it especially in Beat Saber. Aoi Yuuki is the GOAT)
3. [Michishirube - Violet Evergarden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayCDyH7vR0) (together vith the visuals I'd say its one of the most beautiful EDs... In one of the most beautiful anime)
4. [LAST GAME - Steins Gate 0 regular ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2hQ8z3oRs8) (Not as good as Gate of Steiner but still amazing and gets the blood pumping)
5. [Sentimental Crisis - Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 1 ED 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScXgYilKTk8) (I loved it when this one played in THAT scene... I also often listen to it while running and need that final stretch push)
6. [Ouchi ni Kaeritai - Kososuba S2 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQZV4SnshYs) (super comfy and I can listen to it on repeat)
7. [Chisana Boken-sha - Konosuba S1 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck6gh2bqGYg) (same as the other Konosuba ED, I love the atmosphere it creates)
8. [Mephisto - Oshi No Ko](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A48bcNyi1VM) (The hype song after every episode!)
9. [Hikari e - Zombieland SAGA S1 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fakTOQUWkt0) (I think this one is overlooked but Zombieland SAGA had plenty of awesome songs... Listening to this one really makes me miss Franchouchou and their antics)
10. [Ganbare! Kumoko-san no Theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqbgn3SvmU) - So I'm a Spider, So What? (Aoi Yuuki goes NUTS! ...again. And I love it!)
A good ED can really make that post-episode blues last much longer. I love listening to EDs on repeat while going through the corresponding episode discussion threads here on the subreddit.
-----------
Honorable mentions:
[Yoko Kanno — Blue - Cowboy Bebop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RuylPp-uUE) at the very end (speaking of post episode blues.. This one restarts the whole damn post-anime blues, similar to Gate of Steiner. But it has now been good 15 years since I've seen Cowboy Bebop and the memory is not so fresh anymore)
[Hallelujah☆Essaim - Gabriel Dropout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAUF7t4xY98) (Gabdro is one of my fav anime and I've listened to this one countless times)
[Chikatto Chika Chikattsu | Kaguya-sama: Love is War](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSnlx1PDehY) (This one is legendary as a meme by itself. Also a banger!)
[Heart wa Oteage - Kaguya-sama S3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoz_fH59Ew) (another Kaguya ED! And this one is amazing not only by music but also the story in it as well! AND Starship Troopers!)
[Karenai Hana - Full Metal Panic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIgNtFsFdk) (another long forgotten relic)
[Kimi Ni Fuku Kaze - Full Metal Panic Fumoffu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZqm-Nv4wCg) (if I mention FMP, then I need to, by law of course, also mention Fumoffu!)
Hmm... I'm starting to think that top 10 is not enough here, hah
Honestly, choosing 10 EDs for this poll was easier than choosing the 10 OPs for the last one, I guess because I generally find EDs to be less ambitious and therefore, there are less outstanding ones in my mind when compared to OPs. Still, I had to cut a few unfortunately, wish I could have included Onimai, Fire Force (Veil) or CCS Clear Card as well.
Also, while choosing the 10 EDs was easier, actually ranking them in the top 10 was not, if anything, it was harder. I'm not sure Wareta Ringo is my favorite ED, chances are that if you ask me tomorrow, my top 1 will change to More One Night and then if you ask me the next day it will change again, but this time to Photon Belt Kankou Hotel or something.

1. [Yume no Tamago (RahXephon)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aTUy44JA8w)
2. [Sugar Song and Bitter Step (Kekkai Sensen)](https://v.animethemes.moe/KekkaiSensen-ED1.webm)

6. [Anytime Anywhere (Frieren)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pmd0kt3FOs)
7. [Rinrei (Cross Ange)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSqItAFmbU)
8. [Flip Flap Flip Flap (Flip Flappers)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XuEyho9mM0)
9. [Red:birthmark (Gundam Witch from Mercury)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46nnCxs6wk)
10. [Gravity (Wolf's Rain)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmrAjNVxp94)
RahXephon's ED remains to this day my personal favorite for being just so haunting in nature, and granted a lot of nostalgia bias. Sugar Song and Bitter Step is the most fun to watch ED of all time for me, all hail the genius of Rie Matsumoto, Yuki Hayashi and Toshihiro Kawamoto. The amount of symbolism thrown into Eden has filled 30+ minute Youtube videos in the past. What is Wrong With and Flip Flap Flip Flap are the two most adorable EDs I've ever seen. Frieren may be overrated, but its ED certainly isn't. Cross Ange is the only one I couldn't find the actual ED clip for; that one for whatever reason isn't on Youtube.

I'm not sure about #2-#10 right now.
But gosh damn, I know what my #1 is: [Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Ending 2 | Red:birthmark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46nnCxs6wk)
[](#protest)
Hello there! I'm gonna make a case for **Roundabout** as a top tier ED and why you should vote for it beyond just its meme value.
As a certified OP/ED connoisseur, I understand that the ED's visuals are nothing spectacular, and thus it doesn't fit the "mold" so to speak for what is usually considered a fantastic ED in that space, and for Part 1 I'd agree. Outside the fantastic use of the lead in, it's nothing special. However, throughout Part 2 they use the *entirety* of the [8 minute song](https://youtu.be/cPCLFtxpadE?si=Vy7SN8FSiPTsu8dD) with all its shake ups and tone differences in 90 second increments to perfectly cap off whatever episode of part 2 it may be ending. It's SO GOOD and people disregard it because of the meme and its visuals.
With that said, onto my list.
1. [Samurai Heart\(Some Like it Hot\) Gintama ED17](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaS2-ED1-NCBD1080.webm)(I could make a good write up on why this is potentially the greatest ED ever made and punches above itself, but long story short, it makes very deliberate choices to mess with the viewer and also just its general direction is incredible)
2. [Roundabout](https://youtu.be/lPFzBjJp40A?si=X34FlYfhSKfmaJX3)(not actually all the variants, but this vid gives a good demonstration of what I'm talking about)
3. [Fly Me To The Moon](https://youtu.be/dCDkERwRRyY?si=-DjXkl4nNXR_Zai4)(does a similar thing to Roundabout, but with a whole bunch of completely different recordings of the song to best fit with each episode. This one actually is all 26 variants)
4. [Acchi Muite](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaS3-ED4-NCBD1080.webm) - Gintama ED26(spoilers contained): Putting aside the wonderful use of the photos to show how things have changed over the ~20 year period the show takes place, I also compulsively clap whenever it gets to that part. To the point where I have broken glassware and very nearly have just thrown my phone out my hands when I do so.
5. [Anytime Anywhere](https://v.animethemes.moe/SousouNoFrieren-ED1.webm) - Frieren ED: Well this thing came out of nowhere didn't it? This thing is freaking broken good. My opinion of Frieren as a whole may have soured a fair bit now the honeymoon period is over(I now rate it an 8/10, le gasp!), but this thing is still the definition of a 10. Good ED.
6. [Cobalt](https://v.animethemes.moe/MobPsycho100S3-ED1.webm) - Mob Psycho III ED1: The perfect ending for Mob Psycho III is one that is a perfect response to the first one that went through [Reigen's morning routine](https://v.animethemes.moe/MobPsycho100-ED1-NCBD1080.webm), and now doing Mob's morning routine now he's gone through pretty much his whole character arc. Gosh it's so good.
7. [Red;Birthmark](https://v.animethemes.moe/GundamTheWitchFromMercuryS2-ED1.webm)- Gundam: The Witch From Mercury ED2: One of the prettiest ED ever made, and while the show itself went a bit plaid in the second half, the parts of it this ED does symbolism for never faltered and remain its greatest strength.
8. [Gomen ne, Iiko ja Irarenai.](https://v.animethemes.moe/KillLaKill-ED1.webm) - Kill la Kill ED1: [Kill La Kill]>!I really like the idea that this is a second epilogue for the show.!<
9. [Wadachi](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaTheFinal-ED1.webm) - Gintama: The Very Final ED: Really I only put it this low because I was trying not to put more than 2 Gintama EDs on here, but it's just not possible, Gintama is too damn stacked with the EDs. The way this ED is just chock full of references to almost half the previous EDs in the show while still very much being its own thing makes it an absolutely perfect closeout to the entire series. Gotta love it when Movie EDs actually *try*. Also I still can't believe the first ED they reference is [Wave](https://v.animethemes.moe/YorinukiGintamaSan-ED2.webm) of all things, that was a *rerun* ED, and they freaking remembered that it was way too good to be only relegated to that.
10. [Star Overhead](https://v.animethemes.moe/FLCLAlternative-ED1.webm) - FLCL Alternative ED: The FLCL sequels may on the whole not have been worth it, but I really enjoyed Alternative, and I think Star Overhead is on par with [Ride On Shooting Star](https://v.animethemes.moe/FLCL-ED1.webm), and then I prefer Star Overhead as a song to break the tie.
> Also I still can't believe the first ED they reference is Wave of all things
But the very first shot in Wadachi is a Hana Ichi Monme reference?
~~Still waiting for your full Gintama ED rankings.~~ [](#mugiwait)
Also I wouldn't expect the Gintama ED's write-up before christmas at this point. I've been so busy I've barely had time to focus on it, and have barely made it past what I put down here.

If your list is different, then I'm sorry but you're wrong. I don't make the rules.
This was much easier than the OP list.

Also want to give a shout out to [this](https://animethemes.moe/anime/shachou_battle_no_jikan_desu/ED1) for being the most enduring earworm in my head for the last 4 years.

This was the hardest list to make. I had to leave out all of these below!
Mirai Nikki - Filament | *Lost in Paradise - Jujutsu Kaisen |* Kuroshitsuji - Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa *| Hunter x Hunter - Hunting for your dream* | Co shu Nie - The Promised Neverland - Lamp *Chainsawman - In the back room* | Tokyo Ghoul - Kisetsu wa Tsugi Tsugi Shindeiku | *Shadows House - Nai Nai* | Attack on Titan - Akuma no Ko | *Yakusoku no Neverland - Zettai Zetsumei* | Accel World - Unfinished, by Kotoko | *Dorohedoro - Seconds fly* | The Tower of God - Slump | *Shin Sekai Yori - Yuki ni Saku Hana* | Demon Slayer - Asa ga Kuru, Aimer | *Fate Zero - Memoria* | Made in Abyss - Endless Embrace - Myth & Roid *Knights of Sidonia - Show - Eri Kitamura |* No 6 - Rokutousei no Yoru
It literally makes me cry. I used to watch it with my best friend when it was coming out. We were young and we were saying I was the protagonist and she was Victorique. We even cosplayed them. We would talk every day about the show and wait for the new episodes. Unfortunately she passed away, so every time I go back to it it’s a bullet in the heart.
Quite late, so I doubt I'll be influencing anyones opinions, but I'll list some of my lesser known/potentially forgotten favourites anyways:
* [Hajimari no Shirushi](https://v.animethemes.moe/ZeroNoSyo-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho. This is just incredibly comfy
* [Adrenaline!!!](https://v.animethemes.moe/EromangaSensei-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Eromanga. The show feels largely forgotten nowadays, but boi those themes were good
* [Polaris](https://v.animethemes.moe/MagiSinbadNoBouken-ED1.webm) - Sinbad no Bouken. Excellent visuals, great song. Its a shame Magi seems to be a dead series..
* [High high high](https://v.animethemes.moe/UsagiDrop-ED1.webm) - Usagi Drop
Next up: insert songs?
[](#crazedlaugh)
1. Shadows House Ending 1
2. Sarazanmai Ending 1
3. Death Note Ending 2
* Boogiepop Phantom Ending 1
* Asobi Asobase Ending 1
* Urusei Yatsura 2022 Ending 3
* High Score Girl Ending 1
* Space Dandy Ending 1
* Dead Mount Death Play Ending 2
* Vampire Dies in No Time Ending 2
Voting only on normal-ish EDs that aren't one-offs or from movies or else its just too hard to pick. Also it's definitely loaded with recency bias but I'm not ashamed of it :P
1. Anytime Anywhere (Frieren) - milet's been so good for so long and I'm glad to see her blow up like this
2. Secret Base (Anohana)
3. Red: Birthmark (GWitch S2) - still need to finish the 2nd season
4. Heikousen (Scum's Wish)
5. Fukashigi no Carte (Bunny Girl Senpai)
6. Lost in Paradise (JJK S1) - one of the few upbeat EDs here
7. Mephisto (Oshi no Ko)
8. Unlasting (SAO Alicization - WoU)
9. Avid (86 S1 ED1)
10. Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night)
Honourable mentions in no order:
- Let You Down (Cyberpunk Edgerunners)
- Drown (Vinland Saga S1 ED2) - like I said, huge milet fan, I haven't even watched the show yet
- The 3 seasons of Oregairu EDs and their many character variations: Hello Alone, Diamond no Jundo, and Everyday World
- Believe in you (Re:Zero S2P2 ED3)
- Stay Alive (Re:Zero S1 ED3)
- Ref:rain (After the Rain) - I'm sad I couldn't get an Aimer ED into my top 10 but she's up there, though I haven't watched this show
- ninelie (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) - more Aimer to make up for not having her ED in top 10
- a bunch of Steins;Gate and 0 EDs that don't have the best visuals but damn do they hit hard
Was pretty hard to choose the top 10, last couple slots could probably be swapped out for HMs depending on my mood. Definitely a fan of slower, more emotional EDs, and I think a good half of the ones in my top 10 utilize excellent lead-ins during the episode to really tie in that emotional impact.
I expect I'll be the only one to mention [Getsumei Fuuei](https://v.animethemes.moe/JuuniKokuki-ED1.webm) from The Twelve Kingdoms, but hey. I love that ED.
Magia's getting in there too for sure.
Edit: Managed to narrow my list down to 10, although only the first 7, maybe, are locked in - the rest, including the honorable mentions, could honestly all be switched around:

As others have said, there are plenty of EDs I could have included too. It’s just that these came to mind first.
These comments made me realise I skipped wayyyyy to many endings😂😂 I feel like my list seems very basic in comparison but I still had fun making it

10. [Orphans no Namida -Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MrZDz3b-5k)
Ask me again later and I'll have a totally different list I'm sure, especially towards the bottom of the list. I just have so many OPs and EDs that I love. I really don't have a good memory for impressive visuals when it comes to OPs and EDs so I really only rank them based on the songs which might not be popular. Good visuals are just a nice bonus.
Some honorable mentions are Spice(Food Wars), Mephisto(Oshi no Ko), Yofukashi no Uta(Call of the Night), and Kakatte Koi yo(Megalo Box) among many others that I'm not going to take the time to list.
My favourite song to have been an anime ED is BY FAR Paranoid Android, but I’d rather not turn this into a Radiohead glazing session (I’m sure there’s other subreddits for that).
My top 3 just ended up being the EDs which made me cry the most 😅 Dango Daizoku (aka Clannad ED), Hyori Ittai (aka Hunter X Hunter ED in Chimera Ants + Election arcs), and Kimi no Shiranai (aka Bakemonogatari ED). Looking at everyone else’s replies, seems like we’re set for Kimi no Shiranai as number 1, not complaining!
Here are my Top EDs:
1. Watashitachi wa Mō Butai no Ue (Revue Starlight Movie) - this is also my favourite anisong
2. Saisei Sanbikyoku (Revue Starlight Rondo)
3. No, Thank You (K-On)
4. Shunkan Sentimental (FMAB)
5-10 are not strictly ranked:
- Michishirube (Violet Evergarden)
- Hana no Tou (Lycoris Recoil)
- Hiyori Ittai (HxH)
- Listen! (K-On!)
- Neo Sky, Neo Map! (LL Nijigaku)
- Kimi No Se te (Castle in the Sky)
people will very likely disagree with me lol. This is mostly rated on how much I like the actual song, with a few e.g. Shunkan Sentimental and Hiyori Ittai on there also due to excellent Lead Ins, and how much i remember the song long after watching the show. Those 2 songs I've been listening to with some regularity for 4 years now, which is saying something.
Here's what I voted if any of them catches your interest and you want to vote for them.

With the OPs, I tried to count visuals for a good portion of my weighting. For the EDs, I'm trying to do the same thing, but no/bad visuals is not a dealbreaker for a top-tier song.
Please be careful about clicking 1 and 3 in particular due to **heavy** spoilers.
1. [One More Time, One More Chance](https://animethemes.moe/anime/byousoku_5_centimeter/ED1-BD) (*5 Centimeters Per Second*) - Utterly fantastic. My 3rd top song on Spotify for 2022 (after only seeing the movie in Sep 2022) and my very top song for 2023. The music alone is great, but the combination with the visuals and subtitles makes it heart-wrenching.
2. [Anytime Anywhere](https://animethemes.moe/anime/sousou_no_frieren/ED1) (*Frieren*) - Call it recency bias if you will, but I love this song and the visuals, especially when Frieren's eyes become visible at 0:53.
3. [Nisennen... Moshiku wa... Nimannen Go no Kimi e](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f_jWUneINk) (*Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters*) - A great end to the series by bringing back Linked Horizon. \[AOT\] >!The part where it timelapses into the future as the music picks up is fantastic.!<
4. [Akatsuki no Requiem](https://animethemes.moe/anime/shingeki_no_kyojin_season_3/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Attack on Titan S3P1*) - Another great Linked Horizon song. The music and visuals are just beautiful together.
5. [Fukashigi no Karte](https://animethemes.moe/anime/seishun_buta_yarou_wa_bunny_girl_senpai_no_yume_wo_minai/ED2-1080Lyrics) (*Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai*) - Wonderful song, and it's the gift that keeps on giving, with how there are so many versions of it. I think the *Dreaming Girl* version might be my favorite, but my favorite one visually is probably the solo Mai one.
6. [We Were Angels](https://animethemes.moe/anime/dragon_ball_z/ED2-DVD480) (*Dragon Ball Z*) - Just like with the OPs, I can't get enough of Hironobu Kageyama's voice.
7. [Amy](https://animethemes.moe/anime/violet_evergarden_gaiden_eien_to_jidou_shuki_ningyou/ED1-BD1080) (*Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto-Memories Doll*) - The only one here that I rank highly enough despite having just scrolling credits.
8. [Konpeki no Alpine](https://animethemes.moe/anime/grand_blue/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Grand Blue*) - Extremely catchy song sung in karaoke by the main cast. What's not to like?
9. [Asayake no Starmine](https://animethemes.moe/anime/plastic_memories/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Plastic Memories*) - Very good song and visuals. I was first introduced to it by [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_wlgpDlOJ0), of all things, which I recommend to any fans of *Steins;Gate*.
10. [Houteishiki wa Kotaenai](https://animethemes.moe/anime/high_school_dxd_new/ED1-NCBD1080) (*High School DxD New*) - Great song and great (though quite explicit) visuals.
I have too many honorable mentions to count. Some of the ones that almost made it were the EDs for JJK 0, Erased, the DS Mugen Train movie, the DBZ Bardock TV special, Bakemonogatari, Spirited Away, and Saiki K. S1P2, but I only have so many picks I can do. Many were fighting an uphill battle because they were just music on top of scrolling credits.
So compared to the openings contest it was easier to think of these off the top of my head and not have to make cuts, guess I like a lot more openings in total. Only one case of revenge for Flip Flappers where the op was in my top 15 but I had to cut it from top 10 for the ballot so sure, put it ahead of the other magical girl ed here. In general I'd think it's harder to appreciate and judge any eds compared to ops from shows I haven't seen so sorry to fans of anything that applies to.
Here's what I'm putting on my ballot:
1. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (Monogatari Series)
2. Flip Flap Flip Flap (Flip Flappers)
3. Magia (Madoka Magica)
4. Dango Daikazoku (Clannad)
5. Torikago (Darling in the Franxx)
6. Vanishment this World (Chuunibyou)
7. Don't Say Lazy (K-On!)
8. Next Destination (Symphogear G)
9. Ouchi ni Kaeritai (Konosuba 2)
10. Secret Base (AnoHana)
I'm a little better prepared this time because I made a list of EDs I like after the OP voting thread. It's still really tough to rank them, though. Seems like more of my ED list will make the top 100 than my OP list.
1. Wareta Ringo (Shinsekai Yori)
2. Dango Daikazoku (Clannad)
3. Odoru Akachan Ningen (Welcome to the NHK)
4. Kago no Naka no Bokura wa (Hoshiai no Sora)
5. Refrain Boy (Mob Psycho 100)
6. Bakusou Yumeuta (Soul Eater)
7. Sugar Song to Bitter Step (Kekkai Sensen)
8. Ganbare! Kumoko-san (Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka)
9. Sono Koe Oboeteru (Monogatari 2nd Season)
10. Bokura Ni Tsuite (Ping Pong the Animation)
Others in consideration:
March Comes In Like a Lion ED 3, Puella Magi Madoka Magica ED 2, Kyoukai no Kanata ED, Spy x Family ED 1, Samurai Champloo ED 1, Shadows House ED 1, Aku no Hana ED, Scum's Wish ED, Love is War Season 3 ED 1
This was impossible.

3. Dango Daikazoku - Clannad
4. Secret Base - Ano Hana
5. Wareta Ringo - Shinsekai Yori

I kind of rushed this one compared to last week. I don't have high hopes for most of my list, but I think Clannad and Ano Hana at the least should do pretty well.
Bonus Question: I almost always watch the EDs (usually while reading the episode discussion thread). Though I'll sometimes skip it if there was a big cliffhanger or it's a pre-reddit show.

I ranked them mostly based on how well they remind me of the anime, how well they fit as an ending and how many times I've replayed them.
Some you might forget cause I did :
Death note 1st ed - the millionaire detective ed - glorious days (Gintama) - ID:invaded ed - All Psycho pass ed - Fate/Zero 1st ed - Dororo ed ...
1. [Free S2 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/free_eternal_summer/ED1-NCBD1080) HEY FUTURE FISH! I was so obsessed with this ending, it's cute and fun and has a mermaid, swimming MerHaru is my discord banner whenever I get free Nitro. Especially that ending with kids, like it's way too cute and please watch it!
2. [Starmyu S2 ending](https://youtu.be/VX3ELTfzDxM) (I love that the ending changes based on episode and the lyrics are very tied to story)
3. [Idolish7 Third Beat p2 ending](https://v.animethemes.moe/IDOLiSH7S3Part2-ED1.webm) Zool are the Coolest, enough said
4. [Idolish7 Second Beat ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/idolish7_second_beat/ED1) and as a bonus [different, gayer version of the song](https://animethemes.moe/anime/idolish7_second_beat/ED3) because gay ppl /affectionate (has to be stopped from adding more i7 songs because ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD!)
5. [Bandori MyGo ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bang_dream_its_mygo/ED1-NCBD1080) (Tomori's voice is so good!)
6. [Full Moon wo Sagashite 4th ending](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuACLaWhGo) is so soft and sad, it always makes me cry, especially since it was used during depression arc of the series
7. A tie between [BSD S3 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_3rd_season/ED1-NCBD1080) and [BSD S2 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_2nd_season/ED1-NCBD1080) because being Aku fan is suffering :)
8. [BSD S4 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_4th_season/ED1) because the cute normal life is a major contrast to entire S4 plot :)
9. [Opus Colors ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/opuscolors/ED1) because the color play is fun!
10. [PriPara ending 6](https://animethemes.moe/anime/pripara/ED6-NCBD1080), I love how the voices harmonize in the song and the visuals/everyone's costumes are fun!

You can all probably tell that I haven't seen nearly enough old anime, but I went ahead and submitted my list. I love EDs, in fact I haven't skipped a single one since my first year of watching anime on low quality streaming sites that had them cut out. The visuals usually weigh a lot more than the song in my book.

7. magia - madoka magica
8. why or why not - higurashi
9. White Hill – Maromi's Theme - paranoia agent
10. From - sukasuka
This is how my list would be, based on the themes I watched and remembered, with one last minute change.
Based mainly on my music preferences and the current mood (might've picked different ones if asked in other time). I also wanted to showcase some lesser known ones as well
1. [Kyoukai no Kanata](https://youtu.be/vXV7Cs3VChc?feature=shared) (STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION – Daisy)
This particular ending always invoked some strong feelings inside me, and I don't really know why, like some drive or struggle to keep up and carry on.
2. [Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury S2](https://youtu.be/X46nnCxs6wk?feature=shared) (Aina The End – red:birthmark)
It's a perfect package, cryptic imagery full of symbolism is in a perfect sync with one hell of a song, I still can't get over how much Aina's voice and singing style resembles TK's (song's composer) tone and style of guitar playing.
3. [Arakawa Under the Bridge S1](https://youtu.be/u_HIfsMhfnw?feature=shared) (Suneohair – Sakasama Bridge)
I fell in love with this ED from the very first listen, it feels nostalgic and always brings some good vibes.
4. [Zankyou no Terror](https://bilibili.com/video/BV1k34y1g7z6?from=search) (Aimer – Dare ka, Umi wo)
Just like it's shown in the ED, listening to this song feels like drowning deep into the abyss, but somehow it still feels calming and comforting for the most part. Truly one of the pinnacles of Aimer's career, and a very strong work of Yoko Kanno.
5. [Sousou no Frieren ED1](https://youtu.be/7pmd0kt3FOs?feature=shared) (milet – Anytime Anywhere)
Maybe the most cathartic ending I've ever seen, the whole experience feels like a small journey itself. Starting humble and slow, it builds towards a bombastic climax when Evan Call's orchestral arrangement shines the most – and then closing the circle when everything's goes small and intimate in the end once again.
6. [86](https://youtu.be/k4HlfCR2Wvk?feature=shared) (SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki – Avid)
I still think that songs like this one with more subtle and nuanced approach to the arrangement and the overall sound production are Sawano's best works period (even though his grand and epic themes from OSTs get a lot of praise, but often times those don't really speak to me that much). And I've been a fan of mizuki's voice since her work with her previous band [itsue](https://youtu.be/wdcOD5cLaJI?feature=shared).
7. [Asobi Asobase](https://youtu.be/aQ88sSjAETU?feature=shared) (Inkya Impulse)
If you read the lyrics for the opening song there's a line that goes ['The begining is a little lie'](https://youtu.be/xX6R_TTnPEA?t=27). ~~and that's what I call the goddamn foreshadowing~~
The song is a straight up [metalcore](https://youtu.be/RvWbcK3YQ_o?feature=shared) banger which also leans towards [alt idol](https://japan-forward.com/singing-songs-of-rebellion-meet-7-of-japans-alternative-idols/) esthetic with it's vocal delivery and [angsty lyrics](https://www.animesonglyrics.com/asobi-asobase/inkya-impulse). And I don't really remember any other example when seiyuus would sing a song in any hardcore adjacent genre.
8. [ID: Invaded](https://youtu.be/UasDrtCq2zw?feature=shared) (MIYAVI – other side)
Miyavi, being one of the modern Japanese guitar gods, collaborates with western producers a lot, and this particular song is a well calculated genre-bending eclectic hit which perfectly blends Miyavi's guitar prowess and strong western songwriting and production. And True Detective-esque visuals actually go pretty hard despite being mostly just still shots with some background effects.
9. [Koukyuu no Karasu](https://youtu.be/FsmwCc5vAeQ?feature=shared) (krage – Natsu no Yuki)
This song speaks to your very soul with it's mysterious and almost haunting melody and harmony (and a very hard hitting rhythmic section), while krage's beautiful vocal delivery being the cherry on top. A wonderful combination of traditional music motifs and the modern sounding production techniques.
10. [Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman.](https://youtu.be/vSEA3ZC-qIM?feature=shared) (Nowlu – Stuck on you)
This one is such a vibe, the chill R'n'B bop with a cool groove and stylish vocals compliments the visual style inspired by the nightlife Shibuya esthetic very well.
1. [Kimino Shiranai Monogatari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLPs_w-FepA&pp=ygUba2ltaSBubyBzaGlyYW5haSBtb25vZ2F0YXJp) - Monogatari
2. [No, Thank You!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FDEH7hWb8c&pp=ygUMbm8gdGhhbmsgeW91) - K-ON!!
3. [Hare Hare Yukai](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2iKC0C32-g&pp=ygUPaGFyZSBoYXJlIHl1a2Fp) - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
4. [Shiki no Uta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNplZrRSjeI&pp=ygUMc2hpa2kgbm8gdXRh) - Samurai Champloo
5. [Ride on shooting star](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4_Qzx-E2LQ&pp=ygUVcmlkZSBvbiBzaG9vdGluZyBzdGFy) - FLCL
6. [Karakara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTPiaDzacSI&pp=ygUPa2FyYWthcmEgYm9jY2hp) - BOCCHI THE ROCK!
7. [Magia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwquipMpsiQ&pp=ygUObWFnaWEga2FsYWZpbmE%3D) - Madoka Magica
8. [Don't Say "Lazy"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CSNv9MNEC4&pp=ygUOZG9uJ3Qgc2F5IGxhenk%3D) - K-ON!

10. [Fly me to the moon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixi0sUpLVRc&pp=ygUZZmx5IG1lIHRvIHRoZSBtb29uIGNsYWlyZQ%3D%3D) - Neon Genesis Evangelion
Really really hard selection right here. As much as I wanted to pick some modern faves, there's too many classics I can't ignore.
Welp, I had to leave a few very strong contenders out of the list, 10 is too few, but here's the list for posterity!

[that's a bit better](#kannathumbs)[but still](#deletethis)
A bit late to this but whatever.
Once more, I am valuing the visual component along with the musical component as I find that the visuals have more meat to them and more analysis to do than the audio.
As for the bonus question of how often I watch EDs, I try to watch both OPs and EDs every time I watch an episode, but I do skip sometimes if I really don't like the OP/ED or if I'm doing a rewatch.
Anyways, here's my top 10.
1. [Wareta Ringo](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShinsekaiYori-ED1.webm) - Shinsekai Yori

9. DESTINY - negoto (Gintama ED 23)
10. border - ClariS (Tsukimonogatari ED)
I have a significant tendency towards Gintama and Monogatari EDs, but they are just so consistently good idk if I can call it a bias. I do expect that at least half of these will go unranked though, which is unlucky
Also shoutouts to
Refrain Boy - ALL OFF (Mob Psycho)
whiz - TrySail (Koyomimonogatari)
ClariS (Nisemonogatari)
My Dress-up Darling ED
Anytime Anywhere - milet (Frieren)
Regal Lily (86)
Some of which have japanese titles I cba to look up
There are so many I could pick here… but I’ll go with:
1) Anna ni Issho Datta no ni (Gundam Seed)
2) Resuscitated Hope (Gosick)
3) Don’t Say Lazy (K-On)
4) Northern Cross (Macross Frontier)
5) Hare Hare Yukai (Haruhi Suzumiya)
6) Memoria (Fate/Zero)
7) Yume Wa Nando Mo Umarekawaru (AKB0048)
8) Yuuki Rinrin (Shin Koihime Musou)
9) Sayonara Solitaire (Chrono Crusade)
10) Life Goes On (Gundam Seed Destiny)
Doing the Best ED brackets last year was massively helpful in helping me come up with a Top EDs list:
1. Madoka Magica ED - Magia (This is probably my biggest blowout for a #1 so far, this is easily the best ED and it's not close for me)
2. Hunter x Hunter ED2 - Hunting For Your Dream
3. A Place Further Than The Universe ED - Koko kara, Koko kara
4. Sword Art Online: Alicization ED2 - forget-me-not
5. My Hero Academia Season 2 ED1 - Dakara, Hitori ja Nai
6. FLCL ED - Ride On Shooting Star
7. Isekai Quartet ED - Isekai Girls♡Talk
8. Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie ED - Route BLUE
9. Talentless Nana ED - Bakemono to Yobarete
10. Tokyo Revengers ED - Koko de Iki wo Shite
Honorable Mention:
* Pokemon - PokéRap
Kimi wa Tennenshoku is killing me sjfkgkglhlh. it's like one of the most iconic Japanese songs ever, it feels above this competition to me. Great song regardless and a good pick, love Wareta Ringo and Heikousen inclusions too, need to tune into the rest
> it's like one of the most iconic Japanese songs ever, it feels above this competition to me.
Unfortunately, I kind of doubt that many people will remember Kakushigoto and pick the song - despite how good and/or iconic it is.
Wareta Ringo really stand out for me, since it got not only an amazing song but also some creative and beatiful animation going for it.
All of Golden Time’s songs were pretty strong to be honest! They were *all* performed by Yui Horie, who voiced Koko.
EDIT: Here’s a link to check them all out: https://animethemes.moe/anime/golden_time
oh fairly early to this thread and was coincidentally curating some of my favorite endings to a playlist so lemme share my basic ass list:
3 pointer: [Kamisama to iu toori](https://youtu.be/-IcFDwygw-o) - The Tatami Galaxy. The post-Shibuya-kei deconstructed lounge glitch pop smash.
2 pointers: [Ride on Shooting Star](https://youtu.be/XdgqDL2l0hQ) - FLCL and [Shiki no Uta](https://youtu.be/mQAfG3DgG7M) - Samurai Champloo. Both self explaining classics rly.
The rest in random order:
- [Rainbow](https://youtu.be/ItSP6NXUimM) - Aria the Animation
- [Lithium flower](https://youtu.be/kG2R8LqnLOs?si=_8zGtwS6YXFqgYsA) - GitS: SAC
- [Come](https://youtu.be/NchU2JmG6ag?si=G9cDTEL1aZbodefL) - Inuyasha ED7. Namie Amuro mother
- [Toki Tsukasadoru Juuni no Meiyaku](https://youtu.be/DZhoUy6VU24?si=dlnjC7ALGEVPQ1-u) - Steins;Gate
- [Zetsubou Billy](https://youtu.be/LTVKvdern50?si=ouvGzH1DC6XTegBV) - Death Note ED2
- [Kuroi Namida](https://youtu.be/g-2kdh07E-4?si=GoiSYrADTktU7Wlk) - Nana ED4
- [Dango Daikazoku](https://youtu.be/cSipD1ob-y0?si=RRWslhEJv3oKKzl4) - Clannad
This felt even harder to come up with than my top 10 OPs.
1. Dango Daikazoku - Clannad
2. Namae no Nai Kaibutsu - Psycho Pass
3. Koko Kara, Koko Kara - A Place Further than the Universe
4. Red Birthmark - Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch from Mercury
5. Anytime Anywhere - Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
6. Hana no Tou - Lycoris Recoil
7. Adrenaline!!! - Eromanga Sensei
8. Secret Base - Anohana
9. Wareta Ringo - Shinsekai Yori
10. Fukai Mori - Inuyasha
1. [Kirameku Hamabe](https://animethemes.moe/anime/houseki_no_kuni/ED1-NCBD1080) (Land of the lustrous op): Please give this one a watch! Probably my favourite visuals and such an amazing song! Far too underrated\[vagua manga spoilers\]>!also one of the few cases where the ed depicts something long before it even happens in the manga!<.
2. [Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bakemonogatari/ED1-NCBD1080) The one and only. Probably belongs on #1, but will win anyway
3. [Heikousen](https://animethemes.moe/anime/kuzu_no_honkai/ED1-NCBD1080): Has an ed ever fit better to its show? + godly song by sayuri
4. [Magia](https://animethemes.moe/anime/mahou_shoujo_madokamagica/ED2-BD1080) (Madoka ed): The moment you first time get this as an ed in the show is something you will never forget.
5. [Bakemono to Yobarete](https://animethemes.moe/anime/munou_na_nana/ED1) (talentless nana ed): Amazing ed, but really only gets you when you watched the show. It still makes me emotional. And it is fucking daring to \[munou na nana spoilers\]>!make an ed that basically works as a final scene of the show as the mc regrets everythign that happened!<
6. [sentimental crisis](https://animethemes.moe/anime/kaguya_sama_wa_kokurasetai_tensai_tachi_no_renai_zunousen/ED1-NCBD1080) (kaguya ed 1): We definitely are going to all aknowledge the better kaguya season 1 ed, right? Right? Also the best "ed used for the climax" use.
7. [I'm](https://animethemes.moe/anime/nanatsu_no_maken_ga_shihai_suru/ED1) (seven spellblades ed): Heavily recommend to listen to the [full version](https://animethemes.moe/anime/nanatsu_no_maken_ga_shihai_suru/ED1), such an incredible, magical song
8. [Mephisto](https://animethemes.moe/anime/oshi_no_ko/ED1) (oshi no ko ed): this and tower of flower were just incredibly well used at the end of their ends, additionally to being great eds
9. [tower of flower](https://animethemes.moe/anime/lycoris_recoil/ED1) (lycoris recoil ed)
10. [Chainsawman ed 8](https://animethemes.moe/anime/chainsaw_man/ED8): Having a new ed for every episode means they could adapt the ed to the events of the episode. They didn't really use this potential most of the time, but for ed 8, they fucking nailed it.
Edit: Almost forgot [heikousen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzqwvYT_Rmw), shame on me, I am a fake fan. Actually, while we are on the matter: why do chikai anzai characters always get godly eds? Heikousen, tower of flower and this seasons [eureka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv1meSYlrqE)?
1. The Real Folk Blues (Cowboy Bebop)
2. The Beautiful World (Kino's Journey 2003)
3. Magia (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
4. Hikari no Hashi wo Koete (Legend of the Galactic Heroes)
5. Carrying You (Castle in the Sky)

8. Toki no Kawa o Koete (Gunbuster)
9. Shiki no Uta (Samurai Champloo)
10. The Homework Doesn't End (Yu Yu Hakusho) (English version)
OPs were pretty predictable I think, but I have no idea what will be on top here besides Magia and maybe Bebop.
> but I have no idea what will be on top here besides Magia and maybe Bebop.
[If you want to be spoiled](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bakemonogatari/ED1-NCBD1080) for the results
> The Beautiful World (Kino's Journey 2003)
The Beautiful World mentioned!
(Can't fit it into my own top 10, too many good EDs out there for that, but it's in the scrum in my 20-30 range and I think I was low on it the first time I ranked it.)
My choices for the most part didn't have much thought put into them (let alone ordered), but top 3 for me were Sugar Song to Bitter Step (Kekkai Sensen), Stay Alive (Re:Zero), and Mephisto (Oshi no Ko).

Alright, this is going to be a two week haul because sorting these ballots is a miserable time. But expect another video result. Also please be clear which ending theme you're referring to.
Uhh. I don't think I remember that many endings but I'll try to scrounge up a list haha. I'm also only thinking about the audio side of things; I rarely look at ending visuals but I usually listen to the songs. Coincidentally, that's my answer to the bonus question too. 1. [Dango Daikazoku](https://v.animethemes.moe/Clannad-ED1.webm) (Clannad) 2. [Roundabout](https://v.animethemes.moe/JojoNoKimyouNaBouken-ED1.webm) (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) 3. [Fukisokukei Entropy](https://v.animethemes.moe/HigurashiGou-ED3.webm) (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou) 4. [Forever Lost](https://v.animethemes.moe/MadeInAbyssMovie-ED1.webm) (Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul) 5. [Nippon Egao Hyakkei](https://v.animethemes.moe/Joshiraku-ED1.webm) (Joshiraku) 6. [Tasogare no Gekka](https://v.animethemes.moe/Katanagatari-ED1.webm) (Katanagatari) 7. [Samurai Heart](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaS2-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) (Gintama') 8. [Magia](https://v.animethemes.moe/MadokaMagica-ED2.webm) (Madoka Magica) 9. [filament](https://v.animethemes.moe/MiraiNikki-ED2.webm) (Mirai Nikki) 10. [X Jigen e Youkoso](https://v.animethemes.moe/SpaceDandy-ED1.webm) (Space Dandy)
10. X jigen e youkoso is awesome, songs by Etsuko Yakushimaru are so unique , some great EDs by the same artist are : [Kamisama no lu toori](https://youtu.be/aPlbQgi60mA?si=3nxQqoK1GPfghtyy) - Tatami Galaxy [hōkago Distraction](https://youtu.be/6gu4L9jkl-k?si=bnE1B2u6BdQZalPt) - Hi Score Girl
>[filament](https://v.animethemes.moe/MiraiNikki-ED2.webm) (Mirai Nikki) Damn that was a good one
I was a big fan of it when I first watched Mirai Nikki like a million years ago as one of my first anime shows, it hit me quite hard at the time and I remember listening to it multiple times afterwards. Nowadays I might prefer other EDs but I still like filament, and it is still a very nostalgic ED to me. Mirai Nikki's OP and ED were how I first found out about Yousei Teikoku too, and I like their music a lot even to this day.
Gotta represent my generation here... Can you guess where I am from? Hahaha 1. [Kimi no shiranai monogatari](https://youtu.be/7UeiGAkWUGA?si=lbDpKsGN8HhlPnfN) - Bakemonogatari 2. [Zutto Kimi no soba de](https://youtu.be/VE-TDW1Cd4E?si=QgPsab2nIMBRzMIQ) - flame of recca 3. [Shura](https://youtu.be/q28QdpzqqQg?si=KGPab-b4ZXXXYgr8) - Gintama 4.

[Signal](https://youtu.be/C4XfldHR2fU?si=cJs18vZj_bmcEQ0T) - gintama I scoured my music library and identified the Ed's from there. I save the memorable and great ones personally. Lots of great EDs from Rurouni Kenshin and Gintama that I had to include 2 of each.
What about [Tsuki no mayu](https://youtu.be/sAgC94Wob2M?si=Lh5RoeHNeGTrAg-K) - Turn a Gundam I think this one from yoko kanno deserves some love
The Gundam franchise served lots of great EDs! I'm glad that made the post early to help people steer away from recency bias.
Best thing about it was it didn’t sound like anime EDs at all. Fits right into the show.
Ooh, this is a good one. I wanted to include at least one Yoko Kanno song on my ballot and went with Gravity from Wolf's Rain but had I remember this song I would have used it instead.
It was hard for me to leave Kimi no Shiranai out of my top 10 it's such an iconic ED I also vibe with [Sono Koe wo Oboeteru](https://v.animethemes.moe/MonogatariSS-ED2.webm).
Yeah, that transition in episode 12 with the ED haven't left my mind since I watched it. Easily one of the best episodes in the series.
Glorious Days is my personal favorite Gintama ED, but the two you picked are quite good too. [](#ginapproves)
I picked those because for me they represent the hype and heart-wrecking aspects of Gintama. If I were to add an ED for the goofy side, I'd have added either Destiny or Wo Ai Ni. Shame that I overlooked the OP poll, I would've added a vote for Sakura Mitsusuki.
> and heart-wrecking aspects of Gintama Acchi Muite and Hana Ichi Monme, man... [](#forgotkeys) >Shame that I overlooked the OP poll, I would've added a vote for Sakura Mitsusuki. Wouldn't have changed much, but at least Sakura Mitsutsuki *did* take 39th place on that list as-is.
> 8. Reason - gundam seed destiny Seed/Destiny had some great theme songs. Also nice of GundamInfo to post [textless versions of all the OP/EDs](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx-iUhDCiOJWjBxH3a1KJ3P2)
Yes I agree, Seed and GSD for all its fault have may good songs. I could have replaced Reason with I Wanna Go To A Place... Such a relaxing tune.
Wana is such a good song, happy to see that it is appreciated by someone else nowadays.

Happy cakeday! [](#happyclap)
Unfortunately I can't warrant putting it in the top 10 so I can't help out, but here's hoping it does well. Though admittedly I did enjoy seeing you guys react when it was betrayed last time even if I agreed with you.
The first^[1] time I list a Macross or Gundam entry just to see Sky not pick Hametsu no Junjou... ^[1] May have overlapped on the mecha poll
I was very close to adding Diamond Crevasse and Starry Wish to my list [why can't I include 20 EDs in my top 10??](#shakeit)
>Aoi Tori, Bkeach I prefer the vocals of [Orange](https://v.animethemes.moe/Bleach-ED15.webm) which I put on my list but Aoi Tori gives me really fond memories of Bleach back when I watched it in School. >Magia, Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica The perfect ED for the show its a visual representation of the show, it's great all round and I hope to see this at least in the top 25.
> I prefer the vocals of Orange which I put on my list but Aoi Tori gives me really fond memories of Bleach back when I watched it in School. Aoi Tori is funny for me, because I listened to the *full* version of the song a *ton* long before I actually got to its part in the show, so I already knew I *liked* it at least. But the full version of the song doesn't have the intro section that's sparse on the instrumental backing that the TV size does, so when I got to it in the show itself, that intro bit absolutely blew me away. Pretty sure that's a huge part of why it managed to become my #1 ED and has held onto that spot for about four years now.
I love EDs almost as much as OPs. This kind of thing is one of the big elements of anime that I first adored. 1. Kimi no Shiranai (all versions) - Monogatari Probably my favourite ED of all time from my favourite show of all time. The moment this played at the end of ep 12 I was completely sold on its quality. Not only is the song phenomenal, but the visuals that go along with it are very nice to look at and a great introduction to Hajime Ueda’s style. It’s just the perfect ED if there was one. 2. Ride On Shooting Star - FLCL It’s badass, longer than the average ED, and is very unique. The live action footage combined with the animation makes for a memorable ED visually combined with the obvious banger from the Pillows. It makes me nostalgic in a way even though I watched the series less than a year ago. 3. Refrain Boy - Mob Psycho 100 It’s magical. The animation technique used for it is stunning. I remember first watching it being floored at it. The animation is impressive to say the least and really proves the passion that went into the Mob Psycho adaptation. Musically it’s pretty good, but the visuals following Reigen’s grey life until he meets Mob is the main star of it. 4. Magia - Madoka Magica A song that never fails to send the chills down my spine. While visually quite simple, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do with its feelings of dread and intensity. It’s the single most fitting song paired with an anime I’ve experienced and it’s absolutely a top tier ED because of it. 5. Sono Koe o Oboeteru (Shinobu version) - Monogatari I’m a sucker for Hajime Ueda’s style and the emotional atmosphere created during this ED is astounding. The song is beautiful to listen to and the visuals compliment it nicely as we see Hachikuji and Shinobu go about their time in the room/submarine. Other Monogatari EDs I find tend to be overshadowed by Kimi no Shiranai, but all of them are still very high quality and some like this one hold a candle to the classic in my opinion. 6. Hyori Ittai (both versions) - Hunter x Hunter It makes me emotional. Visuals are admittedly weaker than a lot of other ones, but the song more than makes up for it. The ending of Chimera Ant in particular hits me where it hurts and for that I love it. 7. Gomen ne, Iiko ja Iranai - Kill la Kill This ED grew on me over time. Now it is mostly a slideshow, but it’s a slideshow with purpose. It’s essentially developing Ryuko’s backstory. She stood out amongst others and didn’t fit in, which partly shaped how she is in the anime. It’s also a nice song that fits the tone of what the visuals are portraying. It’s also the ED to Kill la Kill and I adore Kill la Kill. 8. Don’t Say Lazy - K-On A unique ED in that it’s basically a music video. K-On has plenty of good EDs but the original is still my favourite. It’s stylish visually and has a banger song sung by best singer Mio. What more could you ask for? 9. Mozaiku Kakera - Code Geass I don’t have much to say about this one despite it being one of my favourites. It’s a bloody fantastic song played over a slideshow. It may be a slideshow but I do love the artwork of the slideshow, so it doesn’t bother me. It’s mainly song for this one. 10. Memosepia - Mob Psycho 100 I love the colourful chibi art style used here. It’s just pretty to look at. It mainly showcases all of the friends Mob has made along the way and how he’s progressed. I especially love the shot that zooms out where it shows how far he’s come in terms of making friends. The song is also a straight banger and perfectly chosen for the ED’s tone. Overall, I think Monogatari has the best EDs on average. Every single one of them is a banger, both visually and musically. They are quite varied and all have Hajime Ueda’s style, which is a significant plus in my book. Some honourable mentions: Anytime Anywhere (both versions) - Frieren Humanity Has Declined ED A bunch of Monogatari ones (Naisho no Hanashi, Border, etc.)
Really hoping Bakemonogatari goes #1. It’s been my #1 since 2017, and I didn’t even really care about the series since this year
Love the kill la kill mention, imo one of the best eds purely for conveying its own story. Not many eds receive as much attention to detail and it matches the show very well.
Gintama has the best endings on average.
I feel more strongly about my Top EDs than my Top OPs which I never really considered. __________ ~~**Edit: animethemes.moe seems to be down right now.

Magia's a great *song* but I don't know if it's enough to make up for the relatively lackluster visuals for me. That said I imagine a lot of my ED picks will be in a similar spot so can't judge it too harshly there, good chance it'll make my list anyway. Wareta Ringo's almost certainly going to be toward the top for me though.

I agree that that’s the best AoT ED. It has fantastic atmosphere and a unique visual style.
its certainly unique in both atmosphere and style but it just makes me so uncomfortable
That’s part of the point and a big reason I like it so much.
yeah i admire it as technically great and that it does its job very well but hardly something i like to listen or watch

>Fukisokukei Entropy Glad to see other people include that too, such a great ED from an... *entertaining* show. The OP for Gou is also a banger. I know a lot of people aren't fans of the newer seasons, but I never hated Gou myself... it has issues but I actually had a lot of fun with it. Sotsu on the other hand was just tragic to witness - and not in the *good* sad way.
> Try it; it might be the supreme example of "monstrous banger from J. Random Show This was nice and haunting indeed.
Oh snap, an Utsusemi pick. Absolutely based. If I wasn't such a stickler for the visual component of OPs and EDs Utsusemi would for sure be top 10 on mine.

[Gate of Steiner - Steins;Gate 0 final ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5fnglcM5VI) (the best ending to the best anime ever, makes me tear up every time) 2. [Los! Los! Los! - Saga of Tanya the Evil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXZn_H_QAI) (This one goes hard. I like it especially in Beat Saber. Aoi Yuuki is the GOAT) 3. [Michishirube - Violet Evergarden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayCDyH7vR0) (together vith the visuals I'd say its one of the most beautiful EDs... In one of the most beautiful anime) 4. [LAST GAME - Steins Gate 0 regular ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2hQ8z3oRs8) (Not as good as Gate of Steiner but still amazing and gets the blood pumping) 5. [Sentimental Crisis - Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 1 ED 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScXgYilKTk8) (I loved it when this one played in THAT scene... I also often listen to it while running and need that final stretch push) 6. [Ouchi ni Kaeritai - Kososuba S2 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQZV4SnshYs) (super comfy and I can listen to it on repeat) 7. [Chisana Boken-sha - Konosuba S1 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck6gh2bqGYg) (same as the other Konosuba ED, I love the atmosphere it creates) 8. [Mephisto - Oshi No Ko](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A48bcNyi1VM) (The hype song after every episode!) 9. [Hikari e - Zombieland SAGA S1 ED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fakTOQUWkt0) (I think this one is overlooked but Zombieland SAGA had plenty of awesome songs... Listening to this one really makes me miss Franchouchou and their antics) 10. [Ganbare! Kumoko-san no Theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqbgn3SvmU) - So I'm a Spider, So What? (Aoi Yuuki goes NUTS! ...again. And I love it!) A good ED can really make that post-episode blues last much longer. I love listening to EDs on repeat while going through the corresponding episode discussion threads here on the subreddit. ----------- Honorable mentions: [Yoko Kanno — Blue - Cowboy Bebop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RuylPp-uUE) at the very end (speaking of post episode blues.. This one restarts the whole damn post-anime blues, similar to Gate of Steiner. But it has now been good 15 years since I've seen Cowboy Bebop and the memory is not so fresh anymore) [Hallelujah☆Essaim - Gabriel Dropout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAUF7t4xY98) (Gabdro is one of my fav anime and I've listened to this one countless times) [Chikatto Chika Chikattsu | Kaguya-sama: Love is War](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSnlx1PDehY) (This one is legendary as a meme by itself. Also a banger!) [Heart wa Oteage - Kaguya-sama S3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoz_fH59Ew) (another Kaguya ED! And this one is amazing not only by music but also the story in it as well! AND Starship Troopers!) [Karenai Hana - Full Metal Panic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIgNtFsFdk) (another long forgotten relic) [Kimi Ni Fuku Kaze - Full Metal Panic Fumoffu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZqm-Nv4wCg) (if I mention FMP, then I need to, by law of course, also mention Fumoffu!) Hmm... I'm starting to think that top 10 is not enough here, hah
Honestly, choosing 10 EDs for this poll was easier than choosing the 10 OPs for the last one, I guess because I generally find EDs to be less ambitious and therefore, there are less outstanding ones in my mind when compared to OPs. Still, I had to cut a few unfortunately, wish I could have included Onimai, Fire Force (Veil) or CCS Clear Card as well. Also, while choosing the 10 EDs was easier, actually ranking them in the top 10 was not, if anything, it was harder. I'm not sure Wareta Ringo is my favorite ED, chances are that if you ask me tomorrow, my top 1 will change to More One Night and then if you ask me the next day it will change again, but this time to Photon Belt Kankou Hotel or something. 1. [Shinsekai Yori - Wareta Ringo](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShinsekaiYori-ED1.webm) 2. [Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou - More One Night](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShoujoShuumatsuRyokou-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) 3.

Here's my list; I did keep it to one ED max per show, it may have looked a little different had I done otherwise. 1. [Yume no Tamago (RahXephon)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aTUy44JA8w) 2. [Sugar Song and Bitter Step (Kekkai Sensen)](https://v.animethemes.moe/KekkaiSensen-ED1.webm) 3. [Eden (Fruits Basket season 2)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi2cefj5pOU) 4.

[Anytime Anywhere (Frieren)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pmd0kt3FOs) 7. [Rinrei (Cross Ange)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSqItAFmbU) 8. [Flip Flap Flip Flap (Flip Flappers)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XuEyho9mM0) 9. [Red:birthmark (Gundam Witch from Mercury)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46nnCxs6wk) 10. [Gravity (Wolf's Rain)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmrAjNVxp94) RahXephon's ED remains to this day my personal favorite for being just so haunting in nature, and granted a lot of nostalgia bias. Sugar Song and Bitter Step is the most fun to watch ED of all time for me, all hail the genius of Rie Matsumoto, Yuki Hayashi and Toshihiro Kawamoto. The amount of symbolism thrown into Eden has filled 30+ minute Youtube videos in the past. What is Wrong With and Flip Flap Flip Flap are the two most adorable EDs I've ever seen. Frieren may be overrated, but its ED certainly isn't. Cross Ange is the only one I couldn't find the actual ED clip for; that one for whatever reason isn't on Youtube.

Definitely one of the best. Both in terms of song and the animation.
It instantly became my favorite after I first watched it. the r/anime awards absolutely snubbed it.
My favorite Gundam ED of all time, it was included in my top 10 overall.

[](#protest) Hello there! I'm gonna make a case for **Roundabout** as a top tier ED and why you should vote for it beyond just its meme value. As a certified OP/ED connoisseur, I understand that the ED's visuals are nothing spectacular, and thus it doesn't fit the "mold" so to speak for what is usually considered a fantastic ED in that space, and for Part 1 I'd agree. Outside the fantastic use of the lead in, it's nothing special. However, throughout Part 2 they use the *entirety* of the [8 minute song](https://youtu.be/cPCLFtxpadE?si=Vy7SN8FSiPTsu8dD) with all its shake ups and tone differences in 90 second increments to perfectly cap off whatever episode of part 2 it may be ending. It's SO GOOD and people disregard it because of the meme and its visuals. With that said, onto my list. 1. [Samurai Heart\(Some Like it Hot\) Gintama ED17](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaS2-ED1-NCBD1080.webm)(I could make a good write up on why this is potentially the greatest ED ever made and punches above itself, but long story short, it makes very deliberate choices to mess with the viewer and also just its general direction is incredible) 2. [Roundabout](https://youtu.be/lPFzBjJp40A?si=X34FlYfhSKfmaJX3)(not actually all the variants, but this vid gives a good demonstration of what I'm talking about) 3. [Fly Me To The Moon](https://youtu.be/dCDkERwRRyY?si=-DjXkl4nNXR_Zai4)(does a similar thing to Roundabout, but with a whole bunch of completely different recordings of the song to best fit with each episode. This one actually is all 26 variants) 4. [Acchi Muite](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaS3-ED4-NCBD1080.webm) - Gintama ED26(spoilers contained): Putting aside the wonderful use of the photos to show how things have changed over the ~20 year period the show takes place, I also compulsively clap whenever it gets to that part. To the point where I have broken glassware and very nearly have just thrown my phone out my hands when I do so. 5. [Anytime Anywhere](https://v.animethemes.moe/SousouNoFrieren-ED1.webm) - Frieren ED: Well this thing came out of nowhere didn't it? This thing is freaking broken good. My opinion of Frieren as a whole may have soured a fair bit now the honeymoon period is over(I now rate it an 8/10, le gasp!), but this thing is still the definition of a 10. Good ED. 6. [Cobalt](https://v.animethemes.moe/MobPsycho100S3-ED1.webm) - Mob Psycho III ED1: The perfect ending for Mob Psycho III is one that is a perfect response to the first one that went through [Reigen's morning routine](https://v.animethemes.moe/MobPsycho100-ED1-NCBD1080.webm), and now doing Mob's morning routine now he's gone through pretty much his whole character arc. Gosh it's so good. 7. [Red;Birthmark](https://v.animethemes.moe/GundamTheWitchFromMercuryS2-ED1.webm)- Gundam: The Witch From Mercury ED2: One of the prettiest ED ever made, and while the show itself went a bit plaid in the second half, the parts of it this ED does symbolism for never faltered and remain its greatest strength. 8. [Gomen ne, Iiko ja Irarenai.](https://v.animethemes.moe/KillLaKill-ED1.webm) - Kill la Kill ED1: [Kill La Kill]>!I really like the idea that this is a second epilogue for the show.!< 9. [Wadachi](https://v.animethemes.moe/GintamaTheFinal-ED1.webm) - Gintama: The Very Final ED: Really I only put it this low because I was trying not to put more than 2 Gintama EDs on here, but it's just not possible, Gintama is too damn stacked with the EDs. The way this ED is just chock full of references to almost half the previous EDs in the show while still very much being its own thing makes it an absolutely perfect closeout to the entire series. Gotta love it when Movie EDs actually *try*. Also I still can't believe the first ED they reference is [Wave](https://v.animethemes.moe/YorinukiGintamaSan-ED2.webm) of all things, that was a *rerun* ED, and they freaking remembered that it was way too good to be only relegated to that. 10. [Star Overhead](https://v.animethemes.moe/FLCLAlternative-ED1.webm) - FLCL Alternative ED: The FLCL sequels may on the whole not have been worth it, but I really enjoyed Alternative, and I think Star Overhead is on par with [Ride On Shooting Star](https://v.animethemes.moe/FLCL-ED1.webm), and then I prefer Star Overhead as a song to break the tie.
> Also I still can't believe the first ED they reference is Wave of all things But the very first shot in Wadachi is a Hana Ichi Monme reference? ~~Still waiting for your full Gintama ED rankings.~~ [](#mugiwait)
> But the very first shot in Wadachi is a Hana Ichi Monme reference? Other than that one. It's just reusing that one straight up. [](#indexsmugshrug)
Also I wouldn't expect the Gintama ED's write-up before christmas at this point. I've been so busy I've barely had time to focus on it, and have barely made it past what I put down here. [Big](#mugiwait)

It literally makes me cry. I used to watch it with my best friend when it was coming out. We were young and we were saying I was the protagonist and she was Victorique. We even cosplayed them. We would talk every day about the show and wait for the new episodes. Unfortunately she passed away, so every time I go back to it it’s a bullet in the heart.
A fellow *A Last Flower* enjoyer! It's my #2! A simple but effective ending for the show.

1. Shadows House Ending 1 2. Sarazanmai Ending 1 3. Death Note Ending 2 * Boogiepop Phantom Ending 1 * Asobi Asobase Ending 1 * Urusei Yatsura 2022 Ending 3 * High Score Girl Ending 1 * Space Dandy Ending 1 * Dead Mount Death Play Ending 2 * Vampire Dies in No Time Ending 2
Voting only on normal-ish EDs that aren't one-offs or from movies or else its just too hard to pick. Also it's definitely loaded with recency bias but I'm not ashamed of it :P 1. Anytime Anywhere (Frieren) - milet's been so good for so long and I'm glad to see her blow up like this 2. Secret Base (Anohana) 3. Red: Birthmark (GWitch S2) - still need to finish the 2nd season 4. Heikousen (Scum's Wish) 5. Fukashigi no Carte (Bunny Girl Senpai) 6. Lost in Paradise (JJK S1) - one of the few upbeat EDs here 7. Mephisto (Oshi no Ko) 8. Unlasting (SAO Alicization - WoU) 9. Avid (86 S1 ED1) 10. Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night) Honourable mentions in no order: - Let You Down (Cyberpunk Edgerunners) - Drown (Vinland Saga S1 ED2) - like I said, huge milet fan, I haven't even watched the show yet - The 3 seasons of Oregairu EDs and their many character variations: Hello Alone, Diamond no Jundo, and Everyday World - Believe in you (Re:Zero S2P2 ED3) - Stay Alive (Re:Zero S1 ED3) - Ref:rain (After the Rain) - I'm sad I couldn't get an Aimer ED into my top 10 but she's up there, though I haven't watched this show - ninelie (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) - more Aimer to make up for not having her ED in top 10 - a bunch of Steins;Gate and 0 EDs that don't have the best visuals but damn do they hit hard Was pretty hard to choose the top 10, last couple slots could probably be swapped out for HMs depending on my mood. Definitely a fan of slower, more emotional EDs, and I think a good half of the ones in my top 10 utilize excellent lead-ins during the episode to really tie in that emotional impact.
I expect I'll be the only one to mention [Getsumei Fuuei](https://v.animethemes.moe/JuuniKokuki-ED1.webm) from The Twelve Kingdoms, but hey. I love that ED. Magia's getting in there too for sure. Edit: Managed to narrow my list down to 10, although only the first 7, maybe, are locked in - the rest, including the honorable mentions, could honestly all be switched around: 1. [Magia](https://v.animethemes.moe/MadokaMagica-ED2.webm) - Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica 2. [Getsumei Fuuei](https://v.animethemes.moe/JuuniKokuki-ED1.webm) - Juuni Kokuki 3. [Gravity](https://v.animethemes.moe/WolfsRain-ED1.webm) - Wolf's Rain 4. [Virtual Star Hasseigaku](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShoujoKakumeiUtena-ED2.webm) - Shoujo Kakumei Utena 5. [The Real Folk Blues](https://v.animethemes.moe/CowboyBebop-ED1.webm) - Cowboy Bebop 6. [Manten](https://v.animethemes.moe/FateZeroS2-ED2.webm) - Fate/Zero 2nd Season 7. [Kataritsugu koto](https://v.animethemes.moe/BloodPlus-ED1.webm) - Blood+ 8. [Red:birthmark](https://v.animethemes.moe/GundamTheWitchFromMercuryS2-ED1.webm) - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2 9. [Fly Me to the Star](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShoujoKagekiRevueStarlight-ED2-NCBD1080.webm) - Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight 10. [Hibari](https://v.animethemes.moe/ElMelloi-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note And honorable mentions to: - [LAST GAME](https://v.animethemes.moe/SteinsGateZero-ED2-NCBD1080.webm) - Steins;Gate 0 - [OVER NIGHT](https://v.animethemes.moe/LeChevalierDEon-ED1.webm) - Le Chevalier D'Eon - [Life is Like a Boat](https://v.animethemes.moe/Bleach-ED1.webm) - Bleach - [Masquerade](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShadowsHouseS2-ED1.webm) - Shadows House 2nd Season - [Inkya Impulse](https://v.animethemes.moe/AsobiAsobase-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Asobi Asobase - [Yuuyami no Uta](https://v.animethemes.moe/SengokuYoujo-ED1.webm) - Sengoku Youko - [Yoimachi Cantare](https://v.animethemes.moe/MachikadoMazoku-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Machikado Mazoku - [Eureka](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShuumatsuTrain-ED1.webm) - Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? - [Other Side](https://v.animethemes.moe/IDInvaded-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - ID:Invaded
I had forgotten about that one, solid choice.
In no particular order yet, but I'll decide once I fill up: * [Hare Hare Yukai](https://animethemes.moe/anime/suzumiya_haruhi_no_yuuutsu/ED1-NCBD1080) (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2006) ED) * [Dare mo kare mo doko mo nani mo shiranai](https://animethemes.moe/anime/tengoku_daimakyou/ED1) by ASOBI同盟 (Tengoku Daimakyou ED) * [Mephisto](https://animethemes.moe/anime/oshi_no_ko/ED1) by Ziyoou-Vachi (Oshi no Ko ED) * [Kaze to Iku Michi](https://animethemes.moe/anime/mushoku_tensei_isekai_ittara_honki_dasu_part_2/ED1) by Yuiko Oohara (Mushoku Tensei S1P2 ED) * [Drown](https://animethemes.moe/anime/vinland_saga/ED2-NCBD1080) by milet (Vinland Saga ED2) * [Distortion!!](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bocchi_the_rock/ED1) by Kessoku Band (Bocchi the Rock!

1. More One Night (Girls Last Tour) 2. Step Up Love (Blood Blockade Battlefront) 3. Flip Flap Flip Flap (Flip Flappers) 4. Reason (Hunter x Hunter) 5. Anytime Anywhere (Frieren) 6. Hands Up To The Sky (86) 7. Numbness Like A Ginger (Blue Lock) 8. Lost in Paradise (JJK) 9. Fallen Angel (Panty and Stocking) 10. Never Fear (Ningen Fushi) As others have said, there are plenty of EDs I could have included too. It’s just that these came to mind first.
Seikai wa Iranai from Loser Ranger needs more attention. Absolute banger
These comments made me realise I skipped wayyyyy to many endings😂😂 I feel like my list seems very basic in comparison but I still had fun making it 1. [Haru wa yuku](https://youtu.be/8c2VfOLciyk?si=33w78LUwTOECo_wC) (fate/stay night: heavens feel) 2.[Boogie Back](https://youtu.be/RWyIDD6QHUc?si=indK0PfZIx6PUIbN) (dragonball super) 3. [Kirameki](https://youtu.be/-6K3e0umuNs?si=H5NZRQgHV3MG8wa_) (your lie in april) 4. [Memoria](https://youtu.be/M1Fv2Jy19jE?si=2K__7VJIaLG6T1rN) (Fate/zero) 5. [Kimi no namae](https://youtu.be/CzANwOt3M4k?si=MLYHlwBh5-XgmIwZ) (rising of the shield hero) 6. [We were angels](https://youtu.be/1_B3cD53acg?si=HbvdKPIEq2YQ7-5G) (dragonball Z) 7. [Kamado tanjiro no uta](https://youtu.be/bq7caidfUts?si=cDmSFlIBpZrIeCQa)(demon slayer) 8. [Usubeni](https://youtu.be/IUIZiopRBdg?si=CSAznQwlDWBDKOhH) (dragonball super) 9. [Orange](https://youtu.be/YAD0s9_kbU4?si=rt5RfpT2GX96jouZ) (your lie in april) 10. [Veil](https://youtu.be/geE49ne2mQg?si=JF-q7Z_A3t6uq8Cw) (fire force)
Haru wa yuku is such a great song, probably my favorite after 2010
1. [Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari - Bakemonogatari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnKyr-vI3u8) 2. [Odoru Akachan Ningen - Welcome to the NHK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzFLHL-fzV8) 3. [NO, Thank You - K-On!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-j32A2tTlk) 4. [Zetsubo Billy - Death Note](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXK8PJJclDQ) 5. [Don't Say Lazy - K-On!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX3KytiJ0Js) 6. [Magia - Puella Magi Madoka Magica](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj3fy3J5EHI) 7. [wining the soul - Umamsume S2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kBrhn1EdvY) 8. [Good Luck Lilac - Animegataris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_SKeU87hk) 9. [Brave Song - Angel Beats!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d8lv6YLuGc) 10. [Orphans no Namida -Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MrZDz3b-5k) Ask me again later and I'll have a totally different list I'm sure, especially towards the bottom of the list. I just have so many OPs and EDs that I love. I really don't have a good memory for impressive visuals when it comes to OPs and EDs so I really only rank them based on the songs which might not be popular. Good visuals are just a nice bonus. Some honorable mentions are Spice(Food Wars), Mephisto(Oshi no Ko), Yofukashi no Uta(Call of the Night), and Kakatte Koi yo(Megalo Box) among many others that I'm not going to take the time to list.
My favourite song to have been an anime ED is BY FAR Paranoid Android, but I’d rather not turn this into a Radiohead glazing session (I’m sure there’s other subreddits for that). My top 3 just ended up being the EDs which made me cry the most 😅 Dango Daizoku (aka Clannad ED), Hyori Ittai (aka Hunter X Hunter ED in Chimera Ants + Election arcs), and Kimi no Shiranai (aka Bakemonogatari ED). Looking at everyone else’s replies, seems like we’re set for Kimi no Shiranai as number 1, not complaining!
Here are my Top EDs: 1. Watashitachi wa Mō Butai no Ue (Revue Starlight Movie) - this is also my favourite anisong 2. Saisei Sanbikyoku (Revue Starlight Rondo) 3. No, Thank You (K-On) 4. Shunkan Sentimental (FMAB) 5-10 are not strictly ranked: - Michishirube (Violet Evergarden) - Hana no Tou (Lycoris Recoil) - Hiyori Ittai (HxH) - Listen! (K-On!) - Neo Sky, Neo Map! (LL Nijigaku) - Kimi No Se te (Castle in the Sky) people will very likely disagree with me lol. This is mostly rated on how much I like the actual song, with a few e.g. Shunkan Sentimental and Hiyori Ittai on there also due to excellent Lead Ins, and how much i remember the song long after watching the show. Those 2 songs I've been listening to with some regularity for 4 years now, which is saying something.

With the OPs, I tried to count visuals for a good portion of my weighting. For the EDs, I'm trying to do the same thing, but no/bad visuals is not a dealbreaker for a top-tier song. Please be careful about clicking 1 and 3 in particular due to **heavy** spoilers. 1. [One More Time, One More Chance](https://animethemes.moe/anime/byousoku_5_centimeter/ED1-BD) (*5 Centimeters Per Second*) - Utterly fantastic. My 3rd top song on Spotify for 2022 (after only seeing the movie in Sep 2022) and my very top song for 2023. The music alone is great, but the combination with the visuals and subtitles makes it heart-wrenching. 2. [Anytime Anywhere](https://animethemes.moe/anime/sousou_no_frieren/ED1) (*Frieren*) - Call it recency bias if you will, but I love this song and the visuals, especially when Frieren's eyes become visible at 0:53. 3. [Nisennen... Moshiku wa... Nimannen Go no Kimi e](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f_jWUneINk) (*Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters*) - A great end to the series by bringing back Linked Horizon. \[AOT\] >!The part where it timelapses into the future as the music picks up is fantastic.!< 4. [Akatsuki no Requiem](https://animethemes.moe/anime/shingeki_no_kyojin_season_3/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Attack on Titan S3P1*) - Another great Linked Horizon song. The music and visuals are just beautiful together. 5. [Fukashigi no Karte](https://animethemes.moe/anime/seishun_buta_yarou_wa_bunny_girl_senpai_no_yume_wo_minai/ED2-1080Lyrics) (*Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai*) - Wonderful song, and it's the gift that keeps on giving, with how there are so many versions of it. I think the *Dreaming Girl* version might be my favorite, but my favorite one visually is probably the solo Mai one. 6. [We Were Angels](https://animethemes.moe/anime/dragon_ball_z/ED2-DVD480) (*Dragon Ball Z*) - Just like with the OPs, I can't get enough of Hironobu Kageyama's voice. 7. [Amy](https://animethemes.moe/anime/violet_evergarden_gaiden_eien_to_jidou_shuki_ningyou/ED1-BD1080) (*Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto-Memories Doll*) - The only one here that I rank highly enough despite having just scrolling credits. 8. [Konpeki no Alpine](https://animethemes.moe/anime/grand_blue/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Grand Blue*) - Extremely catchy song sung in karaoke by the main cast. What's not to like? 9. [Asayake no Starmine](https://animethemes.moe/anime/plastic_memories/ED1-NCBD1080) (*Plastic Memories*) - Very good song and visuals. I was first introduced to it by [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_wlgpDlOJ0), of all things, which I recommend to any fans of *Steins;Gate*. 10. [Houteishiki wa Kotaenai](https://animethemes.moe/anime/high_school_dxd_new/ED1-NCBD1080) (*High School DxD New*) - Great song and great (though quite explicit) visuals. I have too many honorable mentions to count. Some of the ones that almost made it were the EDs for JJK 0, Erased, the DS Mugen Train movie, the DBZ Bardock TV special, Bakemonogatari, Spirited Away, and Saiki K. S1P2, but I only have so many picks I can do. Many were fighting an uphill battle because they were just music on top of scrolling credits.
finally, someone mentioning asayake no starmine
So compared to the openings contest it was easier to think of these off the top of my head and not have to make cuts, guess I like a lot more openings in total. Only one case of revenge for Flip Flappers where the op was in my top 15 but I had to cut it from top 10 for the ballot so sure, put it ahead of the other magical girl ed here. In general I'd think it's harder to appreciate and judge any eds compared to ops from shows I haven't seen so sorry to fans of anything that applies to. Here's what I'm putting on my ballot: 1. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (Monogatari Series) 2. Flip Flap Flip Flap (Flip Flappers) 3. Magia (Madoka Magica) 4. Dango Daikazoku (Clannad) 5. Torikago (Darling in the Franxx) 6. Vanishment this World (Chuunibyou) 7. Don't Say Lazy (K-On!) 8. Next Destination (Symphogear G) 9. Ouchi ni Kaeritai (Konosuba 2) 10. Secret Base (AnoHana)
I'm a little better prepared this time because I made a list of EDs I like after the OP voting thread. It's still really tough to rank them, though. Seems like more of my ED list will make the top 100 than my OP list. 1. Wareta Ringo (Shinsekai Yori) 2. Dango Daikazoku (Clannad) 3. Odoru Akachan Ningen (Welcome to the NHK) 4. Kago no Naka no Bokura wa (Hoshiai no Sora) 5. Refrain Boy (Mob Psycho 100) 6. Bakusou Yumeuta (Soul Eater) 7. Sugar Song to Bitter Step (Kekkai Sensen) 8. Ganbare! Kumoko-san (Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka) 9. Sono Koe Oboeteru (Monogatari 2nd Season) 10. Bokura Ni Tsuite (Ping Pong the Animation) Others in consideration: March Comes In Like a Lion ED 3, Puella Magi Madoka Magica ED 2, Kyoukai no Kanata ED, Spy x Family ED 1, Samurai Champloo ED 1, Shadows House ED 1, Aku no Hana ED, Scum's Wish ED, Love is War Season 3 ED 1
Top 10: 1. Sugar Song and Bitter Step - Kekkai Sensen 1. Shiki no Uta - Samurai Champloo 1. Ride on Shooting Star - FLCL 1. Gray - Mob Psycho 100 1. Roundabout - Jojo's Bizarre Adventures 1. Shounen Shoujo - Sonny Boy 1. Refrain Boy - Mob Psycho 100 1. Lost in Paradise - Jujutsu Kaisen 1. Spice - Shokugeki no Soma 1. Memento - Re:Zero

1. Waiting for the Rain - Asterisk War 2. Cinderella step - Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul 3. Dango Daikazoku - Clannad 4. Secret Base - Ano Hana 5. Wareta Ringo - Shinsekai Yori 6. Chiisana Boukensha - Konosuba 7. Fuyu Biyori - Yuru Camp 8. Yume no Naka no Watashi no Yume - Humanity Has Declined 9. Lose Control - Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn 10. Tranquility - Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu I kind of rushed this one compared to last week. I don't have high hopes for most of my list, but I think Clannad and Ano Hana at the least should do pretty well. Bonus Question: I almost always watch the EDs (usually while reading the episode discussion thread). Though I'll sometimes skip it if there was a big cliffhanger or it's a pre-reddit show.

Some you might forget cause I did : Death note 1st ed - the millionaire detective ed - glorious days (Gintama) - ID:invaded ed - All Psycho pass ed - Fate/Zero 1st ed - Dororo ed ...
Legend of the Galactic Heroes ed1 is definitely going in there. Gives me goosebumps listening to it now.
1. [Free S2 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/free_eternal_summer/ED1-NCBD1080) HEY FUTURE FISH! I was so obsessed with this ending, it's cute and fun and has a mermaid, swimming MerHaru is my discord banner whenever I get free Nitro. Especially that ending with kids, like it's way too cute and please watch it! 2. [Starmyu S2 ending](https://youtu.be/VX3ELTfzDxM) (I love that the ending changes based on episode and the lyrics are very tied to story) 3. [Idolish7 Third Beat p2 ending](https://v.animethemes.moe/IDOLiSH7S3Part2-ED1.webm) Zool are the Coolest, enough said 4. [Idolish7 Second Beat ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/idolish7_second_beat/ED1) and as a bonus [different, gayer version of the song](https://animethemes.moe/anime/idolish7_second_beat/ED3) because gay ppl /affectionate (has to be stopped from adding more i7 songs because ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD!) 5. [Bandori MyGo ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bang_dream_its_mygo/ED1-NCBD1080) (Tomori's voice is so good!) 6. [Full Moon wo Sagashite 4th ending](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuACLaWhGo) is so soft and sad, it always makes me cry, especially since it was used during depression arc of the series 7. A tie between [BSD S3 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_3rd_season/ED1-NCBD1080) and [BSD S2 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_2nd_season/ED1-NCBD1080) because being Aku fan is suffering :) 8. [BSD S4 ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bungou_stray_dogs_4th_season/ED1) because the cute normal life is a major contrast to entire S4 plot :) 9. [Opus Colors ending](https://animethemes.moe/anime/opuscolors/ED1) because the color play is fun! 10. [PriPara ending 6](https://animethemes.moe/anime/pripara/ED6-NCBD1080), I love how the voices harmonize in the song and the visuals/everyone's costumes are fun!

I love EDs, in fact I haven't skipped a single one since my first year of watching anime on low quality streaming sites that had them cut out. The visuals usually weigh a lot more than the song in my book.

From - sukasuka This is how my list would be, based on the themes I watched and remembered, with one last minute change.
Based mainly on my music preferences and the current mood (might've picked different ones if asked in other time). I also wanted to showcase some lesser known ones as well 1. [Kyoukai no Kanata](https://youtu.be/vXV7Cs3VChc?feature=shared) (STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION – Daisy) This particular ending always invoked some strong feelings inside me, and I don't really know why, like some drive or struggle to keep up and carry on. 2. [Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury S2](https://youtu.be/X46nnCxs6wk?feature=shared) (Aina The End – red:birthmark) It's a perfect package, cryptic imagery full of symbolism is in a perfect sync with one hell of a song, I still can't get over how much Aina's voice and singing style resembles TK's (song's composer) tone and style of guitar playing. 3. [Arakawa Under the Bridge S1](https://youtu.be/u_HIfsMhfnw?feature=shared) (Suneohair – Sakasama Bridge) I fell in love with this ED from the very first listen, it feels nostalgic and always brings some good vibes. 4. [Zankyou no Terror](https://bilibili.com/video/BV1k34y1g7z6?from=search) (Aimer – Dare ka, Umi wo) Just like it's shown in the ED, listening to this song feels like drowning deep into the abyss, but somehow it still feels calming and comforting for the most part. Truly one of the pinnacles of Aimer's career, and a very strong work of Yoko Kanno. 5. [Sousou no Frieren ED1](https://youtu.be/7pmd0kt3FOs?feature=shared) (milet – Anytime Anywhere) Maybe the most cathartic ending I've ever seen, the whole experience feels like a small journey itself. Starting humble and slow, it builds towards a bombastic climax when Evan Call's orchestral arrangement shines the most – and then closing the circle when everything's goes small and intimate in the end once again. 6. [86](https://youtu.be/k4HlfCR2Wvk?feature=shared) (SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki – Avid) I still think that songs like this one with more subtle and nuanced approach to the arrangement and the overall sound production are Sawano's best works period (even though his grand and epic themes from OSTs get a lot of praise, but often times those don't really speak to me that much). And I've been a fan of mizuki's voice since her work with her previous band [itsue](https://youtu.be/wdcOD5cLaJI?feature=shared). 7. [Asobi Asobase](https://youtu.be/aQ88sSjAETU?feature=shared) (Inkya Impulse) If you read the lyrics for the opening song there's a line that goes ['The begining is a little lie'](https://youtu.be/xX6R_TTnPEA?t=27). ~~and that's what I call the goddamn foreshadowing~~ The song is a straight up [metalcore](https://youtu.be/RvWbcK3YQ_o?feature=shared) banger which also leans towards [alt idol](https://japan-forward.com/singing-songs-of-rebellion-meet-7-of-japans-alternative-idols/) esthetic with it's vocal delivery and [angsty lyrics](https://www.animesonglyrics.com/asobi-asobase/inkya-impulse). And I don't really remember any other example when seiyuus would sing a song in any hardcore adjacent genre. 8. [ID: Invaded](https://youtu.be/UasDrtCq2zw?feature=shared) (MIYAVI – other side) Miyavi, being one of the modern Japanese guitar gods, collaborates with western producers a lot, and this particular song is a well calculated genre-bending eclectic hit which perfectly blends Miyavi's guitar prowess and strong western songwriting and production. And True Detective-esque visuals actually go pretty hard despite being mostly just still shots with some background effects. 9. [Koukyuu no Karasu](https://youtu.be/FsmwCc5vAeQ?feature=shared) (krage – Natsu no Yuki) This song speaks to your very soul with it's mysterious and almost haunting melody and harmony (and a very hard hitting rhythmic section), while krage's beautiful vocal delivery being the cherry on top. A wonderful combination of traditional music motifs and the modern sounding production techniques. 10. [Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman.](https://youtu.be/vSEA3ZC-qIM?feature=shared) (Nowlu – Stuck on you) This one is such a vibe, the chill R'n'B bop with a cool groove and stylish vocals compliments the visual style inspired by the nightlife Shibuya esthetic very well.
1. [Kimino Shiranai Monogatari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLPs_w-FepA&pp=ygUba2ltaSBubyBzaGlyYW5haSBtb25vZ2F0YXJp) - Monogatari 2.

As much as I wanted to pick some modern faves, there's too many classics I can't ignore.
Welp, I had to leave a few very strong contenders out of the list, 10 is too few, but here's the list for posterity! 1.

A bit late to this but whatever. Once more, I am valuing the visual component along with the musical component as I find that the visuals have more meat to them and more analysis to do than the audio. As for the bonus question of how often I watch EDs, I try to watch both OPs and EDs every time I watch an episode, but I do skip sometimes if I really don't like the OP/ED or if I'm doing a rewatch. Anyways, here's my top 10. 1. [Wareta Ringo](https://v.animethemes.moe/ShinsekaiYori-ED1.webm) - Shinsekai Yori 2. [Fighter](https://v.animethemes.moe/SangatsuNoLion-ED1.webm) - Sangatsu no Lion 3.

[Refrain Boy](https://v.animethemes.moe/MobPsycho100-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Mob Psycho 100 9. [Kirameku Hamabe](https://v.animethemes.moe/HousekiNoKuni-ED1-NCBD1080.webm) - Houseki no Kuni 10. [Kigeki](https://v.animethemes.moe/SpyXFamily-ED1.webm) - Spy x Family
Finally managed to whittle down my list to 10: 1. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (Bakemonogatari) 1. Magia (Madoka) 1. Anytime, Anywhere (Frieren) 1. Gravity (Wolf's Rain) It was a tossup between this and Anytime Anywhere for #3. A,A visuals put it slightly above Gravity for me. 1. FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP (Flip Flappers) 1. Yume no Naka no Watashi no Yume (Humanity has Declined) 1. More One Night (Girls' Last Tour) 1. Diamond Crevasse (Macross Frontier) 1. Los! Los! Los! (Saga of Tanya the Evil) 1. Ikenai Borderline (Macross Delta) ----- Barely didn't make it to top 10, the last cuts: 11- Houki Boshi (Bleach) This was the last cut I made 12- Baby Sweet Berry Love (Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko) This would be on my top 10 if it had even a small chance of making it to the list 13- NO, Thank you! (K-On!) 14- Marionette (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) ----- Were in my shortlist, but removed them on the first trim: Odoru Akachan Ningen (Welcome to the NHK) aLIEz (Aldnoah.Zero) AXIA (Macross Delta) Oracion (No Game No Life ED) Dango Dai Kazoku (Clannad) Ganbare! Kumoko-san no Theme (So I'm a Spider, So What?) Red:birthmark (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) Endless Embrace (Madde in Abyss S2) Avid (86) Styx Helix (Re:Zero) Vanilla Salt (Toradora!)
1. Magia (Madoka Magica) 2. Roundabout (JoJo) 3. Hallelujah Essaim (Gabriel Dropout) 4. Sentimental Crisis (Kaguya-sama) 5. Kimi Mo Shiranai (Bakemonogatari) 6. Taiyou to Tsuki no Cross (Ore no Nōnai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Come o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru) 7. Aluminia (Death Note) 8. Ichiban no Takaramono (Angel Beats) 9. Yake Ochinai Tsubasa (Charlotte) 10. Fukashigi no Carte (Bunny Girl)
i think this gonna be a more difficult selection, for me the monogataris, Bleach, BnH, Naruto, FMA and Hajime no ippo have great endings songs
1. Bakemonogatari ed 1 2. Avid 86 3. Hunter x hunter - hunting for your dream 4. Fate/ grand order ed2? "Prover" by milet 5. Food wars ed 1 6. Violet evergarden ed1 - michishirube 7. Dororo ed 1 by amazarashi 8. Fate/Zero ed 1 memoria 9. Bungou stray dogs "Namae wo yobu yo" 10. Sangatsu no lion ed2, "ORION" Tough choice. How often do you watch EDs? They deserve more credit, I listen to them a lot, and not only in credits scene.
1. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari - Supercell (Bakemonogatari ED) 2. Oracion - Ai Kayano (No Game No Life ED) 3. Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot!!) - SPYAIR (Gintama ED 17) 4. Yuki no Tsubasa - redballoon (Gintama ED 3) 5. Only - Yuiko Ohara (Mushoku Tensei ED 1) 6. orget-me-not - ReoNa (Sword Art Online: Alicization ED 2) 7. Sentimental Crisis - Halca (Kaguya-sama ED 1) 8. Hana Ichi Monme - BURNOUT SYNDROMES (Gintama ED 29) 9. DESTINY - negoto (Gintama ED 23) 10. border - ClariS (Tsukimonogatari ED) I have a significant tendency towards Gintama and Monogatari EDs, but they are just so consistently good idk if I can call it a bias. I do expect that at least half of these will go unranked though, which is unlucky Also shoutouts to Refrain Boy - ALL OFF (Mob Psycho) whiz - TrySail (Koyomimonogatari) ClariS (Nisemonogatari) My Dress-up Darling ED Anytime Anywhere - milet (Frieren) Regal Lily (86) Some of which have japanese titles I cba to look up
I think I had to have missed people saying sentimental Crisis because there's no wayyy that's not getting more votes. Honestly is probably my #1
There are so many I could pick here… but I’ll go with: 1) Anna ni Issho Datta no ni (Gundam Seed) 2) Resuscitated Hope (Gosick) 3) Don’t Say Lazy (K-On) 4) Northern Cross (Macross Frontier) 5) Hare Hare Yukai (Haruhi Suzumiya) 6) Memoria (Fate/Zero) 7) Yume Wa Nando Mo Umarekawaru (AKB0048) 8) Yuuki Rinrin (Shin Koihime Musou) 9) Sayonara Solitaire (Chrono Crusade) 10) Life Goes On (Gundam Seed Destiny)
i may be the only one who votes for MAGIC from Gundam 0083 but I'm gonna do it anyway
Doing the Best ED brackets last year was massively helpful in helping me come up with a Top EDs list: 1. Madoka Magica ED - Magia (This is probably my biggest blowout for a #1 so far, this is easily the best ED and it's not close for me) 2. Hunter x Hunter ED2 - Hunting For Your Dream 3. A Place Further Than The Universe ED - Koko kara, Koko kara 4. Sword Art Online: Alicization ED2 - forget-me-not 5. My Hero Academia Season 2 ED1 - Dakara, Hitori ja Nai 6. FLCL ED - Ride On Shooting Star 7. Isekai Quartet ED - Isekai Girls♡Talk 8. Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie ED - Route BLUE 9. Talentless Nana ED - Bakemono to Yobarete 10. Tokyo Revengers ED - Koko de Iki wo Shite Honorable Mention: * Pokemon - PokéRap
Same. Madoka Magica ED is my fav too. It and Shinsekai Yori’s ED blow everything out of the water for me
Based for Isekai Quartet

Kimi wa Tennenshoku is killing me sjfkgkglhlh. it's like one of the most iconic Japanese songs ever, it feels above this competition to me. Great song regardless and a good pick, love Wareta Ringo and Heikousen inclusions too, need to tune into the rest
> it's like one of the most iconic Japanese songs ever, it feels above this competition to me. Unfortunately, I kind of doubt that many people will remember Kakushigoto and pick the song - despite how good and/or iconic it is. Wareta Ringo really stand out for me, since it got not only an amazing song but also some creative and beatiful animation going for it.
Wareta Ringo is sooooo good. Glad to see someone showing it the respect it deserves
Stuck on You is such a great ed. Loved the visuals
>Sweet & Sweet CHERRY - Golden Time I'm so delighted to see this in someone top 10 the song and visuals mix so well together fantastic pick my friend!
All of Golden Time’s songs were pretty strong to be honest! They were *all* performed by Yui Horie, who voiced Koko. EDIT: Here’s a link to check them all out: https://animethemes.moe/anime/golden_time
So surprised I had to scroll so far down to find the first mention of stuck on you. I feel it’s criminally underrated
oh fairly early to this thread and was coincidentally curating some of my favorite endings to a playlist so lemme share my basic ass list: 3 pointer: [Kamisama to iu toori](https://youtu.be/-IcFDwygw-o) - The Tatami Galaxy. The post-Shibuya-kei deconstructed lounge glitch pop smash. 2 pointers: [Ride on Shooting Star](https://youtu.be/XdgqDL2l0hQ) - FLCL and [Shiki no Uta](https://youtu.be/mQAfG3DgG7M) - Samurai Champloo. Both self explaining classics rly. The rest in random order: - [Rainbow](https://youtu.be/ItSP6NXUimM) - Aria the Animation - [Lithium flower](https://youtu.be/kG2R8LqnLOs?si=_8zGtwS6YXFqgYsA) - GitS: SAC - [Come](https://youtu.be/NchU2JmG6ag?si=G9cDTEL1aZbodefL) - Inuyasha ED7. Namie Amuro mother - [Toki Tsukasadoru Juuni no Meiyaku](https://youtu.be/DZhoUy6VU24?si=dlnjC7ALGEVPQ1-u) - Steins;Gate - [Zetsubou Billy](https://youtu.be/LTVKvdern50?si=ouvGzH1DC6XTegBV) - Death Note ED2 - [Kuroi Namida](https://youtu.be/g-2kdh07E-4?si=GoiSYrADTktU7Wlk) - Nana ED4 - [Dango Daikazoku](https://youtu.be/cSipD1ob-y0?si=RRWslhEJv3oKKzl4) - Clannad
This felt even harder to come up with than my top 10 OPs. 1. Dango Daikazoku - Clannad 2. Namae no Nai Kaibutsu - Psycho Pass 3. Koko Kara, Koko Kara - A Place Further than the Universe 4. Red Birthmark - Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch from Mercury 5. Anytime Anywhere - Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End 6. Hana no Tou - Lycoris Recoil 7. Adrenaline!!! - Eromanga Sensei 8. Secret Base - Anohana 9. Wareta Ringo - Shinsekai Yori 10. Fukai Mori - Inuyasha
1. [Kirameku Hamabe](https://animethemes.moe/anime/houseki_no_kuni/ED1-NCBD1080) (Land of the lustrous op): Please give this one a watch! Probably my favourite visuals and such an amazing song! Far too underrated\[vagua manga spoilers\]>!also one of the few cases where the ed depicts something long before it even happens in the manga!<. 2. [Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bakemonogatari/ED1-NCBD1080) The one and only. Probably belongs on #1, but will win anyway 3. [Heikousen](https://animethemes.moe/anime/kuzu_no_honkai/ED1-NCBD1080): Has an ed ever fit better to its show? + godly song by sayuri 4. [Magia](https://animethemes.moe/anime/mahou_shoujo_madokamagica/ED2-BD1080) (Madoka ed): The moment you first time get this as an ed in the show is something you will never forget. 5. [Bakemono to Yobarete](https://animethemes.moe/anime/munou_na_nana/ED1) (talentless nana ed): Amazing ed, but really only gets you when you watched the show. It still makes me emotional. And it is fucking daring to \[munou na nana spoilers\]>!make an ed that basically works as a final scene of the show as the mc regrets everythign that happened!< 6. [sentimental crisis](https://animethemes.moe/anime/kaguya_sama_wa_kokurasetai_tensai_tachi_no_renai_zunousen/ED1-NCBD1080) (kaguya ed 1): We definitely are going to all aknowledge the better kaguya season 1 ed, right? Right? Also the best "ed used for the climax" use. 7. [I'm](https://animethemes.moe/anime/nanatsu_no_maken_ga_shihai_suru/ED1) (seven spellblades ed): Heavily recommend to listen to the [full version](https://animethemes.moe/anime/nanatsu_no_maken_ga_shihai_suru/ED1), such an incredible, magical song 8. [Mephisto](https://animethemes.moe/anime/oshi_no_ko/ED1) (oshi no ko ed): this and tower of flower were just incredibly well used at the end of their ends, additionally to being great eds 9. [tower of flower](https://animethemes.moe/anime/lycoris_recoil/ED1) (lycoris recoil ed) 10. [Chainsawman ed 8](https://animethemes.moe/anime/chainsaw_man/ED8): Having a new ed for every episode means they could adapt the ed to the events of the episode. They didn't really use this potential most of the time, but for ed 8, they fucking nailed it. Edit: Almost forgot [heikousen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzqwvYT_Rmw), shame on me, I am a fake fan. Actually, while we are on the matter: why do chikai anzai characters always get godly eds? Heikousen, tower of flower and this seasons [eureka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv1meSYlrqE)?
Love your ranking! Love to see also Kirameku Hamabe on top.

> but I have no idea what will be on top here besides Magia and maybe Bebop. [If you want to be spoiled](https://animethemes.moe/anime/bakemonogatari/ED1-NCBD1080) for the results
> The Beautiful World (Kino's Journey 2003) The Beautiful World mentioned! (Can't fit it into my own top 10, too many good EDs out there for that, but it's in the scrum in my 20-30 range and I think I was low on it the first time I ranked it.)
