Mine:

Fruits Basket (2019) S1 ED2

Chihayafuru ED1

Girls' Last Tour Song of Raindrops ED

Frieren ED1 and ED2

What's common on those four? They're all works of art with very emotional music.

My top favorite is that of A Place Further Than The Universe for personal reasons. I had a fulfilling trip shortly after watching this show for the first time. Hearing the song again/watching the show again made me very, very happy each time.

In the context of anime, an ED is the song/visuals that play at the end of the episode. Similarly, the opening song/visuals are referred to as an OP.

Thanks! I've read of OP more often, not ED as much, didn't think it'd warrant shortening! 😅

Your question actually got me curious, so I tried to search for where it came from and it is literally just short for EnDing. Seems a bit silly really. It does provide a nice symmetry with OP though.

Could have something to do with Japanese phonology
