I'm looking for anime with Godly Soundtrack. My favorite so far is from Sakamichi No Apollon so if you could give some closely related to this one please do.

The majority of openings and endings of Gintama are sooooo good, others like Fate Series and Kill la Kill have awesome soundtracks too. I don't know if you will like them considering the type of music of Sakamichi no Apollon.

If you like jazz, I suggest Bartender and Oh! Edo Rocket.

Baccano! has a mostly jazzy and classical soundtrack.
Ballroom e Youkoso has a really nice soundtrack relating to each type of dance.

Just my opinion, but I've thought that the score for Ballroom is distinctly out-of-joint with the dancing scenes. I see little coordination between the dances being portrayed and the music to which they are supposed to be dancing.

OP, since you liked Sakamichi no Apollon, I suggest you look into other shows where the score was composed by Kanno Yoko.

If its just about having a great opening or ending song you will find many shows with great songs. We could post here hundreds of examples I guess.

But if it is about Soundtrack as in the musical acompaniment during the story, it gets rarer.

First most Ghibli movies have great Soundtrack due to him:

Also Cowboy bebop and Blood + have Masterpiece Sountrack totally worth to purchase on their own.

Iwasaki Taku : Ben-To

The soundtrack is ... so ... errm ... WTF?
The show is mostly fine in ep01-06, and the music enhances it, much. From episode 7 onwards the show drops everything that made it enjoyable and replaces it with random bull****.

Nevertheless, the soundtrack really is sth. - embedding one of the main pieces would almost be of spoiler-ish quality, so I only embed the 15 seconds tune for the middle-of-the-show (commercial) break, that should still give an idea.



------------

Should someone like Abdullah Ibrahim on piano, I am pretty sure Muramatsu Ken also does - at least I think he took him as an inspiration for his soundtrack for Sketchbook: Full Color's. (slice of life, comedy)



------------------

Also, imo. the Azumanga Daioh is like perfect. The OST is exactly like the anime, is exactly like the OST, is exactly ... it should not be any different/ it could not be any better than it is.

My opinion of the score for Ballroom has improved a bit in the second half. Some of their choices have been war-horses like "Fernando's Hideaway" for the tangos, but overall the coordination between the dancing and the music has improved.

I'll also add the soundtracks for Made in Abyss, Princess Principal, and Girls' Last Tour to my earlier list.

If no one has already mentioned it, then Shinsekai Yori has a pretty sweet soundtrack. It has no OP but ED is catchy as heck. One of the few soundtracks where one song sticks out in my head.

A Silent Voice's soundtrack is pretty good on its own but like the use of it within the movie makes it amazing

The Kizumonogatari trilogy's OST is fantastic as well

I've only watched a few episodes of So Ra No Wo To but it's soundtrack is easily the best thing about it
