We all have an anime song that we can’t help but sing-along to or gets us so hyped it feels like we can conquer the world. This list is comprised of anime openings, endings and songs sung in the animes. I tried staying away from popular anime themes and tried to provide a variety of anime songs from different animes that just too good not to listen to. You can find most of these songs on Spotify. I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do.
