Anime openings and endings that have their own entries/music videos

Since 2020, I have been on a journey to complete every single Music type anime on MAL. As of 2025, there are nearly 4000 Music type anime on MAL with ~90% being possible to watch (excluding lost media, inaccessible media (live viewings, paywalls, etc.), or videos being struck down by copyright holders). And after 5 years of on and off progress, I can finally say that I've caught up to the most recent MVs as of making these interest stacks.

I present to you what I thought was the very best that MVs had to offer, including some meme entries that you may enjoy.
