Gekidoll", which also won first place in the OP theme poll, also won first place in the ED theme poll.

Kizuna " is a character song for one of the main characters, Airi Kakami, and is an emo song about overcoming past traumas and moving forward based on the bond with her precious friends. The melancholy voice of Chihirai Mochida, who plays the role of Airi, is also a part of the song, and those who have seen the full-length anime will find the song touching and moving. This season has been a fierce battle season for idol-related anime, and "Gekidoll" may have stood out above the rest in terms of its sharp storyline and the strength of the music that accompanies the storyline.

Second place went to "Puppet Coup" by Mai Fuchigami.

This song, the ED theme for "Mage Orphen: Kimuraku Hen" was a digital rock number that took a 180° turn from Fuchigami's previous work, "Crossing Road. The song has a hard sound that matches the seriousness and hardness of the main story of the anime.
In the music video, Ms. Fuchigami shows various expressions such as playing a "puppet" and a masked lady, which is also worth watching! It is a song that stimulates both the eyes and ears.

The third place winner, "Compass Song," the ED theme of "Armored Musume Senki," is a pop and cute song by Shikano, a complete change from the top two songs.

It was composed and arranged by Hidekazu Tanaka of MONACA, who is also known for his work on the "THE iDOLM@STER" series. The work has a rather hard worldview, depicting the mortal struggle of armored girls fighting for the survival of the human race, but this ED theme must have soothed the hearts of the viewers.

In fourth place was "JUMP" by Sogo Nakamura, who is becoming more and more active as a voice actor and artist.

This song, the ED theme for "Skate Reading Stars," is a rock-pop tune with an impressive piano melody and a message that strongly reflects the main story of the anime, as the title suggests. Personally, I think that Ms. Nakamura's singing is great, of course, but I would also like to focus on the performance that supports it. In particular, the bass line that swells as if it were singing gives me goosebumps!
It is often said that God is in the details, and this is one of those songs that you can learn more about by listening to it carefully.

In terms of a "gourmet song," the No. 5 song, "Believe in you," may be another.

Sung by nonoc, this song is the ED theme of "Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 2nd season 2nd half cool" and is a ballad with a warm voice and a melody that touches the heart. The lyrics of the song seem to express Emilia's feelings toward Subaru, and the ED video depicts Emilia as if the lyrics reflect this, and many viewers may have been moved to tears by the ED theme each time.

Let's take a quick look at the rankings below 6th place.

The No. 6 song , "Colorful Everyday" by the 501st JWAC (World Witches is Launching!), was performed by a rotating cast . was sung by the cast members in rotation. The song, "My Name is Blue," the ED theme for "Invasion of the Sky" on Netflix, is sung by the rock band Have a Nice Day! The cool, new-wave-influenced sound design perfectly matches the visual image of the work. The band is one to watch for in the future.

Hatsukoi" from"Gotoku no Bride" came in at No. 8, and "Spider, desu wa nanika? of " Ganbare, Spider Girl-san" ranked at No. 9 !Spider Girl" ranked in at No. 9. Both songs are sung by female voice actors from the main cast. Both songs are sung by female voice actresses in the main cast. The fact that such a strong cast sings these songs gives us a sense of security.

At No. 10 is "Haru no tonari" from"Yuru Can△ SEASON 2. The song was sung by Eri Sasaki, who sang the ED for every episode of "SEASON 1" as well. It is a quiet and gentle song that brings to mind a scene of spending long winter nights around a campfire.

The top 10 songs in this year's list were all songs that were closely related to the works, although they differed in musicality and the singer's style of expression. We are reminded that anime songs are a comprehensive art form that can be enjoyed not only for the songs themselves, but also for the images and the degree of synchronization with the works.
