We near the end of the year. Post you favorite OP/ED's of 2025, and maybe say why you like them if theres a specific part. Maybe you just love the music, maybe there is a specific sequence of the animation in it that you watch it for every time, etc.Only restriction is that it has to have aired in 2025.
https://youtu.be/R1_vkAVfiXQ?si=26q-onJiy7FOv87uMy pick for OP. Science Saru has been nailing pretty much everything they touch. The visuals for this are outstanding and the opening really resonates with the show style. https://youtu.be/QRWSlFcisM4?si=qzUHJ1Ij2Dil7caNWithout a doubt the best anime song of the year. Clevatess was underrated for sure even with a low animation budget it was still one of the better 2025 shows, and this ending is absolutely perfect in every way. I have no idea why they went with Ellie Goulding, but it's been a long time since she's produced anything this good.
>>284578324https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHs-XfeUjIUApocalypse Hotel's OP is just really interesting to watch, it tells a complete story purely based on the styles of dance used in the beginning and the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_0qpJj97K4The show itself was a pleasant surprise, but there's something really satisfying about the ED for A Wild Last Boss Appeared.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyClqesP_RAIshura S2 OPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYeiRHfYz2cIshura S2 EDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ajKcm-WIY Also TBHX ED if you count that as anime
imo muri muri and CSM's OP, call me a normie but they were quite catchy and the CSM OP at the cinema hit just different, in the good way
>>284578324Medalist aired in 2025, right? So I'm adding Bow and Arrow (OP):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3SUAiwfyp0Ending too because it's cute (Atashi no dress)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8GebiQcds
>>284578583>Apocalypse Hotel's OP is just really interesting to watchand that's where the interest ends
Tasokare Hotel OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmNAuizS7uYI like the song. I think the beginning of the OP is the coolest part. However, the special ED for the climax which uses the song for the game OP has better visuals:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x83vgazoR8QOkitsura OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9u-Edb3QjAI like how they got an actual Okinawan band to make the song. And this is the one time when having the characters dance in the OP is justified.Ameku Takao OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCOCq2Gay84A lot of symbolism and references to the different cases seen in the show, especially during the chorus part. I think that approach works well because the novel covers are also kinda like that. I like this kind of OP more than ones that just try to introduce as many characters and spoilers as possible. I've seen people say the song doesn't fit the show but I think the lyrics fit very well. And the beginning of the song is pretty hype.Witch Watch OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_NB6QkfzAMProbably my favorite OP visually this year. I like this kind of OP where the credits are part of the animation. The creditless version feels much emptier.Kikaijikake no Marie EDv2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuHILmwcr_QI like duet songs and songs where the characters talk.Kuroiwa Medaka OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4VKa01PPnYBabanba Banban Vampire ED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGIR3N4zsWEUchuujin MuuMuu OP2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLH5iCkYcqoTowa no Yugure ED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSzBX2LXNjwRanma 1/2 S2 OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ94onekjWERanma 1/2 S2 ED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-SOSlnkXAcThe songs are catchy. In the case of MuuMuu, I also like how the colors and lines remind me of the volume covers of the manga.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvusi5PSzo0Not only my OP of the year and AOTY but a 3x3 contender. It's like a show specifically made for me. Beyond that, I really enjoyedRanma S2 OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ94onekjWEKowloon Generic Romance OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJqaW0qQgZw(I love Wednesday Campanella)The best animated this year imo was easily Witch Watch OP1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_NB6QkfzAMMegumi Ishitani is a god of animation and direction and the fact that she's mostly tied to Toei and not given the chance/ability to direct her own work is an actual crime against animation.As for EDs Ninkoro ED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbN_coeNJZk Easily the best ED of the year>>284578403>>284578583>>284582359Good taste in all of these posts. SANDA's is probably my favourite for Winter.
I know a lot of people talk about the insert songs which are also cool, both the OP and ED for Tojima Wants to be Kamen Rider are really goodOP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarx09QtsRMED:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hf7rOFqvoM
>>284582684>Easily the best ED of the yearNot so fast.
>>284583965sorry alcoholics but ninkoro dance was better
It's so good, I've been thinking about it the whole yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEb3rctB3dc
>>284582359>Towa no Yugure EDIs boring with cringe Engrish. The only thing going for it is Amuro boobs. Should have gone with Ruri no Houseki ED which is a better song and creative visuals.Though if you ask me I wouldn't pick anything by Hana Hope.
This year was amazing but the things I looped the most are Ninkoro Dance, the whole BAD GIRL album, aiaiaiaiai, Menhera, MigiHidari and 御御御付と牛酪. Oh, and mono.Surprise of the Year was definitely Black Flame (god it made me rage on ep1 but I've grown to love it).
>>284584134Her tits are massive
>>284584134Wait should have been yuri #68472716 aired in 2025? It feels older.
for me it'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi6I0ZZhSDYandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_lQGGtPt0
>>284584497it should have been about soloing dungeons to avoid overtime
>>284582885ONE MORE TIMEONE MORE TIMEONE MORE TIME
>>284584872Sorry but it's 2025 everything has to be a romcom first and a cool concept second.
>>284578583Apocalypse Hotel's OP feels 'off', which works for what they were probably going for before the series became a wacky alien show.
>>284579660I can't remember if Kick Back was in the movie but it was great hearing ED 3 again. Iris Out is a very fun new opening.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux3QETpLcPs
>>284578324I'm a faggot who keeps up with way too little stuff and mostly only consistently watches magical girl shows as far as currently airing stuff is concerned, so my opinion is worth very little, but my picks for this year would be Maebashi Witches for the ED solely because of what they do with it when that episode rolls around, and most likely Princession Orchestra's OP 2.5 which we're most likely getting this week if it's even half as much a step up from the already great OP 2 as ED 2.5 was from 2.
Mirage really stood out for me this year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZi847mBngE
Favourite OP just based on the OP itself would probably be either Witch Watch, Sanda or Kowloon Generic RomanceHowever, my overall favourite because I just like the series so much is Mikadono's OPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRJkSEKZ0SsFavourite ED would also be Niko's ED from Mikadonohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTsXmDzsBMUAlthough the other two were nice as wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIeLqPMjk6shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh7AAapWJ-A
>>284578583AH OP sucks man, the visuals are good I guess but can't stand the song.
>>284578324For those not aware, the best ED of the year and is not even fucking close.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIPWSCZeVtMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBUao8-I9LoYou are welcome.
