Top Five Anime OP/ED of the Spring 2025 Anime Season : Part II
Part 1 ⬇️
Okay so here we go with the final three vids in my Top Five. 😁
#3
Inertia by Sawano Hiroyuki from Tu Bian Ying Xiong X
People are probably surprised this is not my number one but as much as I like it, there are ones that just got me more excited as you will see. Still this is pretty fire so it gets the middle of the road spot.🤭

Shake Don't Shake by seiyū cast from Ballpark de Tsukamaete!
This one is just a fun time and I love the little dances and really hope that in Japan they have a live event for the anime and they perform it cause I want to see the vid!😘
#1
Neo-Luddite by 9Lana from Your Forma
My mouth dropped open when I heard the chorus for Neo-Luddite! I was so bummed out that there is no official vid cause I wanted to see the one behind the voice but it turned out that this artist is one that chooses animated vids, which I can respect, so I didn't really miss anything, but man does she have some good songs! Check her out!😎
Top Five Anime OP/ED of the Spring 2025 Anime Season : Part I
Winter 2025 Parts 1 & 2 at the end of the post.
A little later than I usually post but its been a crazy two weeks between wifi problems and just life.😞
Anyway, let's get to the list of music shall we?😎
Honorable Mentions
Sayanora Jinrui by Harumi Momo and Kozakura Etsuko-san from Uchuujin Muumuu
There is a full version of this, but it is pretty discordan and trust this is not in my playlist, but I never skip it when watching the anime. Its just a cute side to side head bop.🤭
Waltz by Ryugujo from Kuroshitsuji : Midori no Majo-hen
I love the ending of Kuroshitsuji this season so much so I end up listening to Waltz a lot and it kind of grew on me enough to check out the official and man is it a throw back to the 2000 emo phase. It was sentimental in so many ways but again I don't think I could vibe with it on my playlist.🤔
#5
Light Maker by Bokula from Yami Healer Toshite Tanoshiku Ikiru
This one takes me back to the late 90's to the early 2000 and all the amazing punk music that I would listen to in high school and afterwards. I really wish there was a real vid but at least this one is official.😞
#4
Senya Ichiya by Hilcrhyme ft. Izumi Nakasone from Kijin Gentoushou
This one caught me by surprise. I didn't expect this ED to have so much heart and such a good sound. I'm not sure if it really matches the vibe of the anime but I like diamonds in the rough like this too!😁
Okay so that's it for this half. You know the ten vid rules here. Below I have my Winter Top Five vids if you want to check them out and...yeah see you in Part II!😉
My Top Five OP/ED of the Winter 2025 Anime Season : Part II
Part I here ⬇️
Okay so before I get to my number one, I want to touch on the anime that I mentioned earlier. So if you know my Daily Anime(s) posts you know that I watch studio Go Hands masterpiece from this season Momentary Lily and one of the best things that I got from it was the band that performs the OP Hanabie. Everything this band touched is gold if you enjoy hardcore metal and screamo. The fact that they are a band unlike Baby Metal where they just sing and don't play instruments, I do love Baby Metal too, is just an even better reason to get into them.🤭
Oishi Survivor is the OP for Momentary Lily and it is a non stop ride along with the scenes playing during it. I am a fan of another band called Ice Nine Kills or IX and the vibe these girl's really give off really reminds me of them. I wish there was an official vid of this instead of a lyric one so instead i'm gonna put another song of their's that I love so please enjoy oh and yes this is the band we are going to see in March along with Kim Dracula!🤗
Alright and now my Number One choice from the Winter 2025 Anime Season...
#1
Casanova Posse by Ali ~ Dr. Stone Season 4: Science Future OP
Not since the Song of the Dead by Kana-Boom from Zom 100 have a had so much fun listening to an OP like Casanova Posse. I do also enjoy the ED Rolling Stone by Breimen but not enough to make my Top Five. Probably my Top Ten though.🤭
I discovered Ali when JJK S1 came out and the amazing ED Lost in Paradise...that cost me my IG, fuck you Sony, came out and took over the world. That was kind of when I started checking out the official vids and the artist's other music. It has not steered me wrong at all and I encourage you all to do the same. if you like the song, hit YT and see what else they have done outside of anime and of course check out live shows. I promise you that you won't be disappointed.🥰
Top Five Anime OP/ED of the Winter 2025 Anime Season
so each season I go through all the songs for all the animes that I watch during the season both OP and ED and see which ones will end up on my driving playlist. Some seasons I have the OP/ED all together cause I don't have enough for the Top Five and other seasons I need two separate lists.
One last thing, along with the anime cut song, I also like to spotlight the original artist/music video. I have discovered so much new music thanks to doing this and this season not only did I discover a new band, but I am going to see them in concert in march with my daughter and friend. I'll mention it when I get to that song, but now let's just get to the list(s)!😎
Honorable Mentions
So some anime OP/EDs don't have full versions sadly but I like it so much that it still makes the playlist so I have to give it it's own moment in the spotlight.
Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nanode Boss wo Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu ED
No name is given for the name of this one, but I never skip this ED cause it just has such a fun feel good vibe and I can't wait to drive to it!😁

Enter by L.E.I. ~ A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu OP
I honestly thought this was a J-Pop group but I;m kind of glad it is just this one amazing singer and his voice is so amazing! No official vid, but this live version is pretty sweet for sure!🤩
#4
Ne Chu Show by BotchiBoromaru ~ Babanbabanban Vampire ED
No this anime is not for everyone for sure I know, but they are missing out on a hilarious series and a banger hit! 😎
#3
L'oN by Masayoshi Oishi ~ Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2 OP
I have been a huge fan of Masayoshi-san since OxT who performed a lot of songs doe Daiya no Ace and when I saw him live and was shocked how much he looked like my number one seiyuu Sakurai-san that just made it even better! A lot of his songs are on my playlist from several season and no I have never watched Overlord but I love Clattanoia, I just discovered it on my own!😅
#2
Shiawase no Recipe by Hiraidai ~ Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season ED
I always have at least one slow song in a season and this year, Shiawase no Recipe took the silver for this year. Besides the fact that the vibe really matches Maomao and Jinshi's whole relationship it just hits right no matter when I watch an episode .😘
So since we can only put ten vids in one post I'll continue my Number one as well my conclusion in the next post. Catch you guys there!😉
