It's time for the seasonal OP/ED roundup! I want to hear about your favorite OPs and EDs for the season (alternatively, your least favorites!). If you are looking for a collection of them all for this season, you can find almost all of them at the link below:

Went through them all again and here are my favorites this time:

OPs

Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc - I love the storybook aesthetic and the overwhelming use of green. I have my issues with this series, but this OP hits a dark and oppressive tone that I think works very well.
Hero Aca: Vigilantes - this show is a love letter to american superhero comics and the OP exemplifies that very well (and is also a bop)
Shoushimin S2 - on the surface it's got tons of impressive art style shifts, a fun song, and interesting visuals, but I'm sure that deeper in there are clues to the mysteries that i don't have the context to decipher, lol.
To Be Hero X - this shows off the show's mix of animation styles and also its mix of superhero action with hints of darker mysteries
Witch Watch - I love this OP so much and it makes me wish I liked the show more, lol. The characters are so expressive and them having fun is infectious

EDs

Classic Stars - I really like the song they put together for this, and I think the boys' singing goes well with the instrumentation.
Gundam GQuuuuuuX - they made the interesting choice to have a bunch of shots with one camera angle and I think it worked really well. The backdrop is so detailed and we get to see a lot of really cute little scenes of their daily life (I like it when the cube falls down)
Ninja and Assassin Under One Roof - fun and colorful, and gets extra points for heartlessly deleting characters from the ED after they die
Rock is a Lady's Modesty - while it's mostly just pans across static images, the stylization and coloring really give a strong vibe
To Be Hero X - very moody and emphasizes the way that becoming a hero often becomes a tragedy rather than a dream come true.

Mentions (honorable or otherwise)

Normally I really like EDs with a rougher style like Ann Shirley's, but the color flashes made this really hard for me to watch
I wanted to like Fire Force S3's ED, since the animation and rap parts are really good, but the autotune on the singing is just too much, it hurts to listen to.
Himitsu no AiPri's ED has some extremely scary live action versions of the main characters. No thank you.
Miru's ED features the robot character doing what looks like a tiktok dance ??
Princession Orchestra's OP's melody strongly reminded me of D.N.Angel's
I think it's funny that almost none of the characters in To Be Hero X's OP or ED are in the first three episodes (I'm a bit behind) of the anime basically at all, lol. Nice gets some screen time in the OP, but I have no idea who anyone else is.
