OPs

Fate/strange Fake OP: "PROVANT" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny & TAKUMA - looks and sounds vibrant, grand, and fitting to the series. I need more Jean-Ken Johnny in my anime themes.

You and I Are Polar Opposites OP: "Megane wo Hazushite" by noa - a wonderful mix of different visual techniques. Looking forward to see what magic Kyouhei Ishiguro creates next.

Tamon's B-Side OP: "Sweet Magic" by F/ACE - the song is as cringe as most idol songs are, ngl, but it's still fun and goes well with the visuals. I like how Utage wakes up at the end and thanks her God for sending her a sweet, sweet, sweet dream or something.

Medalist S2 OP: "Cold Night" by HANA - it has an upbeat, feel-good vibe about it. The dance routine is my favourite part.

Oshi No Ko S3 OP2: "Test Me" by CHANMINA - didn't expect to ever like an Oshi no Ko theme, but here I am. It's perfectly sensual and ominous. I haven't read the source material, but it gives me "Hyakka Ryouran"'s levels of foreshadowing.

Frieren S2 OP: "lulu." by Mrs. GREEN APPLE - I like the song more than "Yuusha" or "Haru", but I prefer Haru's crispier feel. New OP's filter is bothering me, I'm not particularly fond of this hazy look.

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk OP: "Uruwashi" by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN - it's not fancy, but both the song and the colour palette make it work.

EDs

Frieren S2 ED: "The Story of Us" by milet - it's not "Anytime Anywhere", but still a good song to accompany those majestic pencil drawings.

Trigun Stargaze ED: "Stardust" by FOMARE - baby, the stars shine bright. It's beautiful. I like it a lot.

Shiboyugi ED: "Inori" by Chiai Fujikawa - I am not watching the show, but this ED is hauntingly beautiful. It's gorgeous. Immaculate vibes.

I didn't care for the theme overall but I liked the song: "Make Me Wonder" by Official HIGE DANdism from Darwin Jihen OP and "Yoake no Uta" by jo0ji from JJK The Culling Game ED.
