I'm curious to see what other people think is the best music in anime. 
1. say your favourite opening 
2. say your favourite ost, soundtrack, theme whatever
3. say your favourite ending

 if you don't have like favourite in some spot, you can leave it blank. You may also list more if it's hard to choose one.

here's my list
1. No Game No Life | this game opening
2. Bleach - Clavar La Espada
3. Dragonball Super ending 10

For overall soundtrack
Violet Evergarden
Devilman crybaby
Yosuga no Sora

Domestic Girlfriend has the best opening, and I don't even care to pick a second place.

Best ending is Hell Girl season 1

I'm pretty sure the second track is Nanami's theme, or at least I associate it with her.

I decided go with the ones I've listened to the most, but there are many more I'd consider good (mind you I've gotten into anime only about a year ago):



1.OP


Chainsaw Man




Cautious Hero





2.OST


Paripi Koumei (favorite track as example)




Bocchi The Rock! (it's a cover I really like)





3.ED


Cautious Hero




Isekai One Turn Kill Neesan





I just considered the music in these, not the quality of op/ed.

1. Favorite opening: Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete from Zeta Gundam

2. Favorite OST: Pretty much every OST by Yoko Kanno. Some of my favorites are the Turn A Gundam OST, Cowboy Bebop (a classic) and Zankyou no Terror (I did not like this anime that much but the OST is incredible)

3. Favorite ending: Don't know if it counts as an ending but Beyond the Time from Char's Counterattack. For a TV series ending I would say Tsuki no Mayu from Turn a Gundam

4. Favorite insert song: Brave Heart from Digimon Adventure
"Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!" - Bill & Ted´s Excellent Adventure

Check my introduction to Char´s Counterattack interest stack if you´re interested in watching UC Gundam. Also check my Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA Chronological Watch Order for LoGH info!

Jikoku Shoujo has good OST.

Yuki Kajiura and Nakagawa Koutarou made several good OSTs

Fate/Zero
Madoka Magica
El Cazador de la Bruja

Mawaru Penguindrum less so but mostly good.
Utena has some good songs.


and Code Geass of course 



Finally OST of Umineko no Naku Koro ni is one of the best.

Higurashi aslo decent.

Favorite Opening(s): Breakthrough (Fairy Tail / OP 13) / Venus Line (Birdie Wing) / Natsuyume Noisy (Summertime Render / OP 2) / Only my Railgun (Toaru Railgun / OP 1) / Odd Future (My Hero Academia / OP 4)

Favorite OST: Pretty much the entire OST of Fairy Tail's first season. If I had to choose one, probably Natsu's Theme for Action and Seigi no Chikara for an emotional one.

Favorite Ending(s): Hana no Tou (Lycoris Recoil) / Nai Nai (Shadows House) / Ichigo Sunset (Sasaki to Miyano) / Dear Teardrop (Citrus) / Kimi Kira (Kami Kuzu Idol) / Yappari Economy (Roukin)

As much as for ending and opening I have already a winners it is very difficult to choose the favority ost tbh:

Opening 13 of Bleach





Within Struggles I will choose Here to Stay from Bleach




Bleach Ending 24



Also Additionally There are 2 new versions of Here to Stay which are not in Anime but are available because of Shiro Sagisu Song book and these are Here to Stay Orchestra version and Here to Stay Vocal version
Fun Fact - During Flame of Rebirth live stream in which on live viewers + him we were making first impressions of this whole song book Here to Stay or either 999 orchestra version [I don't remember which one was it] caused me to tear up because of the music itself and the best part that few other people had the same reaction 999 orchestra -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbI9WCc0eOU.

angela seriously kicks ass.


Can't go wrong with everybody involved in JAM project either. Especially guys like Hironobu Kageyama, Yoshiki Fukuyama and Masaaki Endoh.





And of course, no good OPs would ever exist without the late, great Ichiro "Aniki" Mizuki, may he rest in peace:



Speaking of OST composers, there are a ton of good folks around there, but Yoko Kanno, Kenji Kawai, Toshiyuki Sahashi, Shigeaki Saegusa are some of the first that come to mind.

I enjoy the Shakugan no Shana first OP, Bunny Girl Senpai's, Baka and Test S1's OP, Toradora's first OP and a few others. PhotoKano's OP. I think some others but I can't think right now.

Don't have a favourite OST many are pretty ok for OPs/EDs/in scene songs/themes very few interest me because most don't do much for me. They suit the scenes/show but most times I'm eh about them.

Can't remember for ED. There is some but most are forgettable more so then OPs and even then it's because I usually want to skip to the next episode or end watching the episode.

"say your favourite opening " - usually I skip those.

"say your favourite ending" - usually I skip those.

And I hate insert songs. Yes, really.


About favorite BGM...too many to choose from, so some random examples: One Piece is mostly epic, Little Witch Academia kills it, Azumanga Daiou and Odd Taxi are beautifully weird, Uchuu Senkan Yamato is classic plus surprisingly disco and the music of RWBY: Hyousetsu Teikoku has no right to be that good, but it is.
