One of them is the Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan ED. Evan Call’s composition there is magical.
In/Spectre Season 2’s OP, Yotogibanashi, doesn’t get nearly enough attention, much like the show itself.
Ao-chan Can’t Study. Weirdly really good OP for a short comedy ecchi anime.
Oh I know one. The ED from Stella no Mahou. Stella no mahou is a fairly mediocre show that you may or may not decide to watch at all, and even if you did, you probably forgot all about it once the season ends. The ED is great though, it’s electronic house(might be wrong) music, rather than a standard anisong. If you’re after some EDM anisong, it won’t disappoint.
I saw that one. I found it a pretty cozy watch.
One I never see mentioned anywhere is the ED for Asterisk War. Mediocre show but you get to hear Maaya Sakamoto sing in English.
Paranoia Agent’s OP and ED are creepy and really good. Probably not underrated but I don’t know anyone else IRL who’s seen it.
I also really like Haibane Renmei’s ED.
Synchronicity! Months later, I’m listening to a video essay about Paranoia Agent, as I search Lemmy for any actual discussions about Haibane Renmei!
I hope anime discussions (in general) become more popular in Lemmy. It’s hard to start topics as someone who mostly watches old stuff but it’s nice to know there are people interested in these around here!
I’ve been tempted to post an Old Anime Discussion thread. I don’t keep up with what’s new, because I like to watch an entire series at once before starting another one, so I mainly stick to older shows. I super don’t watch new episodes weekly unlike most anime fans.
I miss the other website, where I could read through years of discussions about shows like Shinsekai Yori and Mushishi. The more time passes, the more I feel like breaking the strike and posting there again.
The ending of Asobi Asobase. Actually, scratch that, the whole anime is underrated as hell!
The ending of Konosuba S1, both OPs and EDs of Kumodesu, specially the EDs. And that Naruto ending retelling Obito’s life too.
Just off the top of my head.
Oh, and I linked the anime version of all those songs, but you REALLY have to hear all of Kumodesu’s ED1 for the full experience.
Asobi Asobase OP: What the girls think they are Asobi Asobase ED: What they really are
Anyway, I agree with you. The KonoSuba EDs in general are too underrated. Like hell, everyone remembers the iconic Kimi to mita sekai from the first OP (“fantastic dreamer”) and the opening beat from the second OP (“Tomorrow”), but they seem to forget the calm EDs.
Yeah, the second ED is very good too, and even the ED of the Megumin anime was that kind of ED that really grew on me, but, for me at least, the first ED was that kind of ED that just couldn’t be surpassed, like Clannad’s dango ending!
I love how Asobi Asobase flips the “hype OP/calm ED” trope around, and it fits like a glove. Every episode starts calm and normal like the OP, but then it slowly slips further into pure insanity and by the time the episode ends, the ED fits the mood perfectly haha.
Blame Hanako for that slip into insanity 😂
I don’t believe I’ve seen much discussion of the ED for Tonari no Seki Kun (https://youtu.be/oIKB7i6fcmk), and it is amazing.

Big brassy 1950s style jazz. Love it.
