A good opening and ending influences my scores heavily. An anime could go up by 5 stars in rating if only it has a great op and ed. For example i rated AIR a 10, i found it's story to be a bit mediocre but back when i started watching this anime the Opening did some kind of spell on me which made the entire episode so pleasing to watch. Openings are like an appetizer which improve the taste of the main course and the Ending Songs are like desserts.

The music doesn't affect my rating much. However, I will discuss the music in reviews. I find that the single most important pair of things for my enjoyment of an anime is the story and characters. If those aren't good, music can't save it. There are series I love that I find the music to be mediocre, yet I'll still give them a full 5. There are series with great music that have mediocre story, but I won't increase the rating because of the music.

it does not affect my rating at all
it adds to the nostalgia though and makes the show memorable if the openning song of the anime is good

In some case, yes... In some case, no.

But I always put that in my fav list if like it and listening it on loop 😊

OP, ED no, but background yes. It depends on quality. Some anime i can't imagine without background like "madoka", "shiki", "mushishi" Have few soundtracks on my phone.

It is of no importance to me. I have never rated an anime higher or lower based on the soundtrack. But I suppose it is always possible, if the music is absolutely atrocious, or good enough for me to actually pay attention to it.

Usually a great anime is followed by great music. Still I'm not too judging if music isn't a top-notch but all the rest is great.

I think music is very powerful tool than can bring a 7 to a 10. SAO and .hack sign are big examples of how good music can enhance series. Even bleach has some amazing music that resonates very well to make some masterful scenes. In terms of videogames I can not imagine Sonic or Kirby doing so well without its amazing music direction.

I think it can ad or subtract a point unconsciously.

I almost was going to make a thread on this thing I noticed. You know in a lot of shows they play same music over and over and over? Often a short loop of a few seconds. I hate that alot. It has a tendency to make scenes meant to be fun and playful feel painfully dragged out and a little annoying just because you hear the same music on almost every episode so it gets annoying. I would prefer silence over that.

On other hand some stuff with very cinematic or very cool music can just feel a lot more lively.

Music has zero impact for me unless the genre is something music-related
