Top 5 Anime Endings of Winter 2024, Ranked

Top 5 Anime Endings of Winter 2024, Ranked

This season has a surprising amount of bangers.

Anime ending themes are usually less memorable than the openings. Most of the time, they are calm and relaxing, which is not the type of music anime fans would normally listen to, especially for series full of hype and action.

That said, very often, they are actually really great, provided you don’t actually skip them; and here are some of the best EDs of the Winter 2024 season.

5. Delicious in Dungeon

The ending for Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) isn’t the most well-animated thing on the earth — it’s mostly a compilation of art for the series — but it doesn’t need to be anything else.

The song evokes a feeling of adventure with friends — it is even named “Party!!” — which is what the anime is all about, and the simplistic visuals support it.

4. Bucchigiri?!

Yes, Bucchigiri’s ending might not be as creative as its opening, but it is certainly memorable in its own way. It is basically a catchy tune, even more so than the OP.

Perfectly showing the bizarre yet fun nature of the series, the ending contrasts the high-tension opening song very well. Oh, and it also features a funny dance, which, undoubtedly, will become a source of memes at some point.

3. Metallic Rouge

Metallic Rouge has an ending that perfectly fits the Blade Runner-like atmosphere of the series. The stylized drawings with gorgeous futuristic backgrounds are accompanied by a cool and somewhat unusual song, which serves as an excellent way to finish an episode of the anime.

2. Sengoku Youko

Sengoku Youko’s ending is, for lack of a better word, epic. Yuki Kajiura is known for composing soundtracks to series like Fate/Zero and Sword Art Online, and here, her song encapsulates the grand feeling of a long adventure that the anime is going to be.

It is also a perfect pair to the opening, which hypes you up and, in some way, reminds us of older battle shounen series.

1. Solo Leveling

One thing Solo Leveling is hard to criticize for is its music choices. While the soundtrack — as well as the opening — is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, known for his work on Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) and many other series, the ending isn’t. That doesn’t make it worse, though.

The ED is a collaboration between TK from Ling Tosite Sigure (openings for Tokyo Ghoul and 91 Days, among others) and a relatively new singer named krage. They work together surprisingly well, creating a perfect song for the anime’s mood, and the visuals for the ED are great as well.
