While the ongoing pandemic has drastically reduced the amount of anime this season, that doesn’t mean we’re short of awesome anime tunes. Here are the 10 I’ve been enjoying most.
*Note: Songs are presented in alphabetical order by series.

Anime: Fire Force (Season 2)
Song: “SPARK-AGAIN”
Artist: Aimer
Why I Love It: The contrast of the fast-paced song with Aimer’s often-wispy voice makes this song far more interesting to listen to than if it had been sung by a different singer.

Anime: Fruits Basket (Season 2)
Song: “Eden”
Artist: MONKEY MAJIK
Why I Love It: This laid back song not only shows both the extreme highs and silky deep lows that the singers can hit but also has some fun syncopation in the chorus.

Anime: God of High School
Song: “Contradiction”
Artist: KSUKE feat. Tyler Carter
Why I Love It: While the dubstep instrumental sections in this one do seem a bit over the top to me, the vocals and how they mesh with the dubstep in the rest of the song is simply awesome.

Anime: The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Song: “Seikai Fuseikai”
Artist: CIVILIAN
Why I Love It: The contrast in the song is what does it for me. The pre-chorus is soft with minimal instruments while the chorus is about as far opposite as you can go.

Anime: Monster Girl Doctor
Song: “Yasashisa no Namae”
Artist: Aina Suzuki
Why I Love It: Honestly, this one hits me right in the nostalgia because it reminds me of 80s/90s anime ending ballads.

Anime: Mr Love: Queen’s Choice
Song: “Maiorite Kita Yuki”
Artist: Koi to Producer featuring Konomi Suzuki

Anime: Muhyo & Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation (Season 2)
Song: “Inochi no Akashi”
Artist: ZAQ
Why I Love It: From start to finish this song is nothing but a play on syncopation that has a ton of fun playing with the range of ZAQ’s voice.

Anime: No Guns Life (Season 2)
Song: “Chaos Drifter”
Artist: SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny
Why I Love It: I love how the background music is lowkey and basic in the verses and pre-chorus so you can focus on listening to the male harmonies spread throughout.

Anime: Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World (Season 2)
Song: “Realize”
Artist: Konomi Suzuki
Why I Love It: This one has an awesome, fast-paced build throughout the verse that explodes in a rocking chorus.

Anime: Sword Art Online Alicization: War of Underworld (Season 2)
Song: “ANIMA”
Artist: ReoNa
Why I Love It: The verses of this song have a rather dark structure–one that is completely blown away by the hopeful (and stupidly catchy) chorus.
