It’s been almost a month since the fall 2024 anime started.

The appeal of the TV anime is not only the main story, but also the theme song, which condenses the world of the work into 1 minute and 30 seconds. This season has a wide variety of songs, but which one is the theme song that captured the hearts of fans?

■A collection of theme songs that make anime more appealing!

No. 1

1st place is “Danda Dan”. The approval rating was approximately 19%.

The opening theme for this work is Creepy Nuts’ “Otonoke”. Readers have commented, “The rhythmic and haunting lyrics are addictive!”, “The opening animation has the same speed as the main story! It matches the frightening and scary nature of a work with an occult theme,” and “It’s been in my head forever.” Many people commented that they were hooked, saying, “It’s so loud that I can’t concentrate in class!” One fan said, “There are a number of phrases in the second verse that are reminiscent of past Jump works, and I can’t help but read too much into it.”

No. 2

2nd place was tied for “Ao no Hako” and “Majirmie Co., Ltd.”. The approval rating was approximately 13%.

The opening theme of “Ao no Hako” is Official Hige Dandism “Same Blue”. “I love Official Hige Dandism’s new song! I love the fast-paced melody with the odd time signature, and the beautiful lyrics that could only be written by vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara, who is a fan of the original work.” and “Hige Dandism’s songs never fail. I’ve worked on anime songs, but this time too, it’s the best way to express the worldview of the work!” The opening animation was also well-received, with one commenting, “It’s wonderful to see the high school students working so hard on their club activities.It’s also nice to see the scene from the original work’s cover art.”

The opening theme of “Magil Mie Co., Ltd.” is Mafumafu “Order Made”. “From the beginning of the song, you’ll be taken away in an instant. The guitar’s cool phrases, the wonderful singing voice, and the excitement of the beginning of ‘Magilmier’ are amazing!” and “The main story is interesting, but I like the anime even more. We’ve received comments such as, “I thought it was the theme song for a new movie,” and “The action of the magical girls running through the city on hokis feels great!” that it’s a song that enlivens the work.

■Introducing other comments!

“Natsume’s Book of Friends Urushi” Hinata Kashiwagi “Alca”“The refreshing song goes well with Natsume, who is dashing down the mountain on his bicycle. He used to have a sad expression on his face, but this time he smiles more, and the production makes you feel that he is interacting with humans and monsters. I’m also very impressed.”
“blood. ―About the movement of the earth―” Sakanaction “Monster”“Sakanaction is in charge of the theme song for an anime for the first time.This work, which depicts people pursuing the truth of the heliocentric theory, is colored with a mysterious and beautiful melody.In particular, the chorus phrase “Chi.” symbolizes the work. It’s as if you’re doing it.”

“I started teaching at a monster school! ”Four Eight 48 “Shrimp turn!”“It’s a song with a good tempo that gets you excited and makes you want to start dancing.The lyrics are inspired by the work, too!”
“Ranma 1/2” ano “Fusion”“I felt a lot of respect for the way the song begins with the sound of a gong, which reminds me of the OP of the previous work, “Don’t Let Me Be a Shrew.” Her memorable singing voice is also charming.” There were also votes for popular works that had new anime produced.

In the OP anime edition, artists who have sung theme songs for many titles are ranked high. Votes were received for songs from a wide range of genres, including hip-hop, rock, and ballads.
