Certainly not as impressive season for EDs as it is for OPs, but there are some good ones.
While this season doesn’t have as many good endings as it has openings, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any. There are still some pretty cool theme songs and visual sequences, and here are the 5 best EDs of Spring 2024.
All of these can be watched on Crunchyroll.
5. Kaiju No. 8
The opening for Kaiju No. 8 (Kaijuu 8-gou) is not the only song done by a Western artist. The ending is actually done by OneRepublic, a band that has been very popular in the 00s and early 10s.
While they lost some relevance lately, it’s interesting that they were chosen to perform for an anime ending. It seems that the viral promotion behind Kaiju No. 8 is certainly working.
The song itself isn’t the best part of the ending, though. The visuals are really cool, showing characters in different situations, and framing these like photos from some sort of data files — really emphasizing the modern setting of the series.
4. Laid-Back Camp S3
The ending for this season of Laid-Back Camp (Yuru Camp△) was done by Asaka, who did the openings for the previous seasons and the movie. But, unlike those, this isn’t a fun and high-tempo song.
Just like the anime itself, it’s calming, perfect for the mood the episode puts you in. The visuals are simple, but they serve the same purpose.
And, just like with the aforementioned Laid-Back Camp, Black Butler has SID, the band that performed the openings for the original series and Book of Circus, doing the ED theme this time.
Fans don’t mind, though: the OP is also pretty good, and the ED very much feels like a Black Butler song — and the switch makes sense, because this arc is somewhat different from the previous ones. The visuals don’t feature much animation, but the artwork is absolutely gorgeous.
2. Yatagarasu
It seems that because of a one-week delay in subs for an already late start, Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master (Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai) went under the radar.
Still, even if you aren’t a fan of historical anime, it’s easy to appreciate the ending. It’s stylized to sound like old Japanese music, with the traditional instruments and everything.
1. Oblivion Battery
For Oblivion Battery (Boukyaku Battery), the ending is so great because of multiple factors. The song is pretty fast and hype-inducing, which isn’t that common for anime series. It makes sense, though, for a sports anime.
After all, these are supposed to get you all hyped up throughout their entire run. The visuals, drawn in simplified style, create a cool contrast with the anime itself, which has completely different art.
