One Piece OST because I like orchestral music and there are so many iconic tracks.
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

It might be a basic pick but I’ll go ‘Town, Flow of Time, People’ from Clannad. Clannad’s soundtrack will always be my favourite ever.

Made in Abyss - VOH



This song is to blame for making me bawl my eyes out more than I have ever before or since for any piece of media. If you saw me when it happened, you would think someone close to me died or something along those lines.

But If I had to name a few more, excluding half of the tracks in made in abyss:





And these 3 aren't up there with the ones I already named, but I'll put them here cause they are really underrated:

Gundam has a lot, kinda unfortunate it's not very mainstream in the anime fanbase because it has a ton of good OSTs. Though yeah if I had to pick a favorite probably would be Made in Abyss. Kevin Penkin is probably the best composer in the industry right now.

You could honestly just throw in the entire SAC OST too. Yoko Kanno knew her stuff.

A few favorites:






Hopefully they can bring in someone equally as talented for the Science Saru adaption. Probably my most anticipated upcoming show at the moment.

Many, but if "OST" in this context can be used to refer to various songs/tracks present throughout a series - because for some series I have many - then my Top 5 still remain unchanged and are as follows:

1.) Inuyasha
2.) Koi Kaze
3.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Kai
4.) Shiki
5.) Mahoutsukai no Yome

"What's your favorite anime OST?"

Well, there are a lot, but the newest one is the BGM of Dungeon Meshi, especially the Senshi theme, which they play when some cooking is going on. And before that Frieren's BGM.

By the way for some reason I usually dislike OPs, EDs and insert songs (maybe because usually those are j-pop and I dislike pop).

Any Made in Abyss Ost especially these two; Belaf Lullaby, Hanezeve Caradhina.

These two in particular from The Promised Neverland; Isabella's Lullaby, Krone on GF String.

Also Lillium from Elfen Lied.

Gotta love Zoltraak from Frieren, reminds me so much of The Witcher OST.

He's pushed it even further for Season 2, hasn't he. I've only ever listened to Season 1, and this track sure is something else.

AERIAL REBUILD

I've only watched the first episode of The Witch From Mercury, but I had to look up the track that plays during Aerial's (?) first duel. Insanely high-quality, bombastic orchestral track.

Cowboy Bebop

I'd say .hack//ROOTS, but it's been so long since I've watched it, and the only thing I've listened to from it in recent years is 'Silly-Go-Round' by FictionJunction YUUKA.
Pretty much anything by Yoko Kanno or Yuki Kajiura is gonna be great.
Also, Wolf's Rain.

^For actual OSTs. There are quite a few that have good OPs/EDs/etc., but for overall OSTs, definitely those.
