Favorite Anime EDs

Recommended Posts

So, to be honest, I am not at all a fan of endings, I usually just go onto the next episode when it finishes, or simply check to see if there is anything at the end of the video if it looks like there is more than a minute and a half left. However, there are a few endings I do like:

Oh I thought you meant as in the conclusion of a season or series lol.

 

Anyways, I love the second ending for the Madoka Magica series. This one is in very sharp contrast the the ending for the first several episodes (for a good reason), and it makes it work out really well, especially the first time.

Was looking for one with English subtitles, and ended up finding a good English cover, so here's this instead:

lol OH. You mean "EDs". I thought you meant the ending to an anime series, as in the last episode. Haha...

 

My favorite ED theme... there aren't a lot of them. I'm on the same boat as you, I don't have a lot of favorite EDs. They are slow, boring, and sentimental, albeit understandably so. It's just my personal taste though. I know there are plenty of EDs out there that are pretty good, but I've never really found many EDs that I liked. That said...

 

WataMote ED 1

I love WataMote's EDs. Musou Renka and Natsu Matsuri are pretty cool, but I find this ED 1, "Dou Kangaete mo Watashi ga Waruku Nai" (No Matter How I Look at It, It's not My Fault!), very adorable. It helps that it's catchy too.

 

Mirai Nikki ED 1

Mirai Nikki had many problems, none of which involved its OP and ED themes. The amazing presentation of the ED just impressed me through and through. It's hard to describe my feelings when I first saw this ED with the right words (without sounding cliche), but in a word, "Epic".

 

Welcome to the N.H.K.! ED 2

Despite my earlier complaint about sentimentality, there are rare exceptions like this. This song is beautiful, especially given the bittersweet mood of the show.

 

Gintama' ED 1

The entire Gintama franchise has a lot of sentimental EDs that just didn't win me over. This ED, however, has a chorus that's just catchy enough for me to like it, though only just.

 

And finally, you can't talk about EDs without mentioning the ED of all EDs:

Damn. I wanna do that dance someday.

Sorry for the confusion >_< I changed the title now to better reflect what I meant.

I have yet to watch this show, but seeing that ED, I'm putting the show on top priority now. ;)

Absolutely fantastic.

 

Although if this counts, I'd say this is even better:

It was featured as the ED in episode 23 of Steins;Gate's anime adaptation. When I heard it, I was blown away, because I had heard the lyrics sampled somewhere else, and didn't know their source for a very long time.

Watamote and Gintama, you Sir or Madame get a cookie for good taste in anime. :)
