| Well, only three anime have ever had soundtracks so great that I had to buy them... Clannad Angel Beats Ghost In The Shell:Stand Alone Complex There are some anime I acknowledge have great soundtracks, but not really enough for me to go out of my way to buy the albums. I think the most recent example of this that comes to mind for me is Violet Evergarden. The soundtrack was absolutely stunning, but I feel as though if I bought it and listened to it all the time, I’d feel really melancholic. Shinsekai Yori (From The New World) is another that comes to mind that had a phenomenal soundtrack, but I fear my state of mind if I listened to it in my free time. |
| There are a lot of animes which have great soundtrack, but One Piece ones are the best for me <3 |
 |
| Some of my favourites: Cowboy Bebop. Ergo Proxy. Eureka Seven. Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (anything with Yoko Kanno is going to be good) Hunter X Hunter. Initial D (EuRoBeAt InTeNsIfIeS! Makes me want to hop into my car and go for a drive). K. Kill la Kill. Made in Abyss (liked it so much I bought the CD from Japan). Shinsekai yori (the adapted Symphony No. 9 is a real highlight, its what I best remember this anime for). |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| Cowboy Bebop, a very unique original genre that fit the anime just great! Hunter x Hunter, an average RPG-ish soundtrack but really memorable and fun Noragami, contemporary techno with traditional japanese feeling quite cool One Punch Man, just badass. |
| I guess these are most memorable for me. Death Note Saraiya Goyou Ghost in the Shell:SAC Paprika Noragami |
| Oooh. I shall watch this topic. In my opinion, the best types of soundtracks are those that can paint a picture to someone's life. These soundtracks convey that image for me very well! Things I've enjoyed in no particular order: Samurai Champloo - jazz/hiphop vibes throughout; highly influential from nujabes Kimi to Boku - Chill/calming; nice driving music Natsume Yuujinchou - Calming/Relax Time Akagami no Shirayukihime - Calming, Subtle fantasy moments, reconciliation: the beginning of two people seriously nails on the head for conveying what love is like Nagi no Asu Kara - Calming/Relax Time Ao Haru Ride - Excellent for emotional days Naruto - Original OST makes you really feel things other than nostalgia Bleach - Loved the rock feel, amazing use of the guitar xxxHolic - Chilling/Relaxing; Deja View and Shizuka na Hibi are my absolute favorites; great for telling a story Mushishi - Calming, definite homework music, really incorporates the feeling of time passing Orange - Calming, love the guitar work in this OST I'm a big sucker for piano in soundtracks if it's not obvious :D |
 Lost in Translation |
| Oy, too many good ones to choose just one. Favorites: Cowboy Bebop Samurai Champloo Guilty Crown Made in Abyss Wolf's Rain Nagi no Asukara Spice and Wolf Zankyou no Terror Honorable Mentions: Noragami Psycho Pass Suisei no Gargantia |
| my favorite OST of all time is from Made in Abyss ♡ but hm... Attack on Titan, Ao no Exorcist, Mahotsukai no Yome and Madoka Magica, I think they have great soundtracks too!! |
  |
| Madoka Magika and Monogatari come to mind. |

| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| In general, Kajiura Yuki is a good bet. My favourite of hers is probably Madoka Magica, but that's not to say that Kara no Kyoukai and Fate/Zero don't also have incredible scores - it's just that Madoka Magica's OST is consistently fantastic (I don't think there's a single track on all three albums I don't love). Kajiura Yuki understands theme and leitmotif to a degree you rarely find. (However, I didn't much rate her work on SAO - to me, it seemed phoned in, and much of what was great about it was just a retread of themes she'd already done in earlier work. For real, the main theme sounds exactly like 'Rule the Battlefield' from Fate/Zero.) Sawano Hiroyuki is also a consistent contender - obviously Attack on Titan is great, as is Kill la Kill. Aldnoah.Zero deserves a mention for 'MKAliez' being the example of the 'Sawano Drop'. Iwasaki Taku...I can't say I exactly follow his work, but I love the soundtracks for Katanagatari and especially Gurren Lagann. Stepping outside individual composers: Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works was a bit of a letdown after Fate/Zero, but it has some OK tracks. And the Monogatari series will always deserve a mention, if only for 'Suteki Meppou' - because where else would you find a piece of background music in 5/4? |
| Shingeki no kyojin, Kill la kill , mahou shoujo madoka magica |
Nyah_Chan said: As a soundtrack collector of all mediums... I have to say these are some of the best: (No order) Naruto Shippuden Shingeki no Kyojin Made in Abyss Kekkai Sensen Devilman Crybaby Noragami Tokyo Ghoul Boku no Hero Academia Monogatari Series Boku Dake ga Inai Machi Girls' Last Tour Hell Girl Iron Blooded Orphans Mushishi Psycho Pass Shiki Sword Art Online Fate Unlimited Blade Works Violet Evergarden Zankyou no Terror (I can name some more if yah want) Got a bunch of my favorites in there (specifically Made in Abyss, Shiki, and Violet Evergarden). I'd also add Parasyte and Re:Creators. Both have godly inserts. |
 |
| A Silent Voice has the best soundtrack I've heard. It's very unique too. |
 |
| Re:CREATORS Sword Art Online Violet Evergarden Fuuka Guilty Crown Shingeki no Kyojin NANA Kimi no Na Wa |
 |
| - Anything with Sawano Hiroyuki works - Anything with Kajiura Yuki works My other favorites that i can think of: - Kizumonogatari trilogies - Megalo Box - Diamond no Ace - Kekkai Sensen - Ping Pong The Animation and many more. |
 |
| Attack on titan is my favorite, the entire soundtrack is best i've heard from something!! It has beatiful, sad and epic OST's! My others favorites include: Made in Abyss Death Note Shokugeki no Souma Owari no Seraph Re:Creators Fate Stay Night and Zero (UBW ost is good but nothing compared to the others I mentioned) Hunter X Hunter Koe no Katachi I will stop by here or I will mention thousand shows xD. Also, I'm fanboy of Sawano |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Im still absolutely in love with Zankyou no Terror's soundtrack |
| Are we really gonna make it..? |
| violet evergarden and made abyss are great if you're looking for beautiful stuff Florence ost is beautiful as well but it's not an anime. however it's made by Kevin Penkin (Guy who made Made In Abyss OST and is also making the music for Rising of the Shield Hero), so defo worth checking out Hiroyuki Sawano is a great composer for epic pieces. You hear his music all over the place as well-- he made music for attack on titan, re:creators, a bunch of mecha stuff, kill la kill, and other big names |
| Movie: Spirited Away Series: Berserk 1997 |
| Literally anything composed by Kujiura Yuki or Yoko Kanno! |
| Nanatsu no Taizai Princess Tutu .hack//SIGN Yosuga no Sora Fantastic Children Air Gear Also some random songs from different series like: A Song of Storm and Fire from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles Mezane from Mai-HiME Bird of Death from Nisemonogatari Cosmos Dream from Queen Millenia |

| In No Particular Order: Mobile Suit Gundam: Unicorn RE:Creators Guilty Crown Attack on Titan Aldnoah Zero Fate/Zero Portrait of Petite Cossette Ergo Proxy Needless Alderamin on the Sky |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| Kekkai Sensen Your Lie in April Made in Abyss Those are pretty easily my favorite soundtracks. |
 |
| Definitely a tie between Aria and Mushishi. Both have flawless soundtracks. |
 |
| No question Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. Can't go without at least mentioning Rurouni Kenshin - Tsuioku-hen, though. Those being movies/OVA's, for a series I'll have to go for any one of these: Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 So Ra No Wo To Girls und Panzer Strike Witches |
| Avatar: Anzu Kadotani from Girls und Panzer. Sig by MissIntrovert.  |
| Girls und Panzer has to take the cake for me. I like how they take the main theme and make variations on it throughout the series. They also pull inspiration from the countries in which the different teams are based on when making the music (although they just straight up used Katyusha for Russia, you won't find it on the Crunchyroll episodes). I thought it matched the show well. |

Those were the first three I thought of as well. I'm also glad to find someone else who appreciates the Kimi to Boku OST, I especially like the Aoi Shouta insert songs. If you're a piano/jazz fan you should definitely move Kids on the Slope up your short-list though. |
Clannad and Kimi no na wa hands down. |
 |
| Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Megalo Box, Tokyo Ghoul. These are the ones that pop up in my head when I think of great soundtracks. |
| Bubblegum Crisis for me. No contest. They even released two specials focusing entirely on the songs with music videos featuring live performances and scenes from the OVA. |
 |
| Naruto: Hell it has the hypest OSTs Toradora!: "Lost My Pieces" and "Startup" are masterpieces, especially the second one. Nisekoi: Very gracious osts and pretty cheerful And the anime that I think has the best soundtracks: Sword Art Online, with "Swordland" and "Everyday Life" |
 ❅Aoishi❅ ✿My Profile ✿MyAnimeList ✿MyMangaList |
| Cowboy Bebop Samurai Champloo Panty & Stocking All these shows use music which ties into the main theme of the show to great effect. |
 |
| I love the soundtrack of Your Lie in April, Kuroshitsuji, Death Note and Death Parade, but the most favorite soundtrack of mine is Radwimps music for Kimi No Na Wa. It makes my heart sing and I have goosebumps every time I'm listening to it. |
| Naruto has the best osts and Death Parade has pretty good osts aswell. |
