What are some of your favorite EDs? Why do you like them? (reddthat.com)

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.

I love EDs that tell a story!

My favorite one of those is the original Babel II ED from 1973

Along with a classic song by the late great Ichiro Mizuki, it also portrays the henchmen as dangerous, even though our hero manages to defeat them anyway.

A more recent one is Paripi Koumei/Ya Boy Kongming's ED

Another fantastic song from this series by 96NEKO. The story in the ED is an idealized version of the story with SD versions of the characters

Again, going back to the 70s, 1974's Majokko Megu-chan ED

The song by the great Yoko Maekawa isn't the greatest, but the care in the animation and background art is far greater than typical TV anime art for that era. The little dog is very cute, but I don't think it appears in the actual story in the show.
