I find that when the cast sing the opening or ending song, the series is more enjoyable and I get more attached to the characters. But I've only came across a couple and I'm trying to find more.

Examples: Assassination Classroom OP 1, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai ED 1

Offhand examples that haven't been listed:
Yuru Yuri (all seasons)
Hidamari Sketch
Hinako Note
Anne Happy
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (ED theme)
Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka
A-Channel
Mikakunin de Shinkoukei
Gugure Kokkuri-San
Monster Musume
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes
Ga-Rei: Zero (VA did the OP theme)
Fairy Tail

Basically what the first half implies is you could throw a dart at a list slice of life series and chances are at least one of the theme songs will be sung by the characters.

Actually all the EDs have the cast singing. It's just a different girl for each iteration.

Depends

Meta and self-aware OP? Tesagure! Bukatsu-mono is so meta it isn't even 1:30 long.

More and more characters joining the singing? Etotama has a new character join the ED each episode starting with Nyaa-tan.

Interested in idols? Love Live! features a group of girls that become an idol group to save their school from closing.

Kitakubu has 4 (technically 5 if you count the last episode) different EDs sung by different characters of the show.

Despite the type of show One Room is, the full version songs sung by each character's VA are pretty good.

There are so many good shows out there that will match your criteria. Do some searching, look at some recommendations, and watch stuff that interests you.

I recall songs being sung by cast members in:

Bakemonogatari and the other ~monogatari series sequels
Cat Planet Cuties
K-On
Macross Series
The Melanchily of Haruhi Suzumiya
Red Garden
White Album

Also probably any other music anime or those with idols or music scenes.

The OP for Cat Planet Cuties is by Sphere, a girl group all of whom are also anime voice actresses. All four have roles in that series, though I don't think any of them are main characters.

I wish there was more anime with non-diagetic musical numbers during the show proper, not just the OP/ED.

The episode with the ancient assisdroid has a musical number where the entire cast sings some "old song" about a lonely spaceman that was supposedly the theme song from some in-series anime.

i love the ending theme to Bunny Girl Senpai. it has which girl the arc is about singing it and then by the end of the series they are all singing it. on top of having the peggies do the OP, the music was one of the better parts of that show.

Well, it's rather conspicuously the characters singing it, so naturally, they had the characters' voice actors do the singing.

If you're talking about recognizing the voices, I suck at that so I can't say much on that point.

The 2 main heroines sing the ending as a duo in both season 1 and 2. What's better is that they also have alternate versions where they sing solo.
