Sorry Anime Era but Roundabout is the best credit song in all of anime
- Thread starter Cantaim
- Start date
Haha. I love it because it's a song I grew up with and it was also the last song I expected to hear as an anime ending which made it's debut one of the most wtf moments I've had ever. I'm pretty sure the only reason they used it is because one of the members of the group is named Jo Jo. I can't help but love that.
Start the ED song during the episode's final scene and you have me. You just do. It's the hypest shit on Earth.
This right here is the absolute winner.
This ED blew me absolutely away back then when I saw it and I basically constantly listened to it for years.
Absolutely bitter sweet and such a perfect fit for the show back then.
But that's not Return. HxH is a perfect counterpoint, but Return would be the ideal answer.
Also no one in hear defending the amazing TTGL Ending #2 as the perfect outro is a crime.
That moment when the song started playing while Ed was refusing to leave his brother's body behind, and then when he pointed him, telling him he would come back for him... Pure hype. No matter how many years pass, it is stille one of the best moments in anime.
As for me, I will go with Houkiboshi from Bleach.
The song is fine, but what makes this ending awesome for me is that each episode focused in a different squad. and of course, captain, lieutenant and other members of the squad. Man, Soul Society was really Bleach's best arc.
shit the mob psycho posts on the previous pages reminded me...how could i forget the king!?!? top 10 greatest EDs of all time
Return? you mean Reason?
also great pick. Minna no Peace is a fantastic song.

I was just thinking about this last night and came of with a top 3.
1. Modern Crusaders by Enigma (JoJo Part 5)
2. Paranoid Android by Radiohead (Ergo Proxy)
3. I Wanna Be by Stance Punks (Soul Eater)
Roundabout is used well in JJBA, but as an outro it's kind of weak. It's timed perfectly at the end scenes of episodes, but the lamest part of that song makes up the actual credits theme.

I'd definitely go with Kekkai Sensen being the pound for pound best ED.
yeah if people are just posting good songs i was gonna start too and i was gonna post this. although the ending itself was also freaking great. someone once remade it using one piece characters and i used part of it as my avatar in another forum and still do.
Also I'm going to drop a massive hot take: the best thing Roundabout has going for it are the memes and the one Zeppeli scene.
Both Walk Like an Egyptian and I Want You are better EDs.

You right Cantaim.
However since this thread is basically an excuse to post great endings, let me present you this one
I don't think it's a popular choice, and I don't really know myself why I love it that much but I do.
It's just so good, it's full of energy. The song, the (goofy) poses the characters are in, everything, I love it so much
Bless the Haikyu anime (and manga)

I would argue Inuyasha has the best collection of ED songs
I love that too
Gundam Seed had some AMAZING use of that for their endings. Especially the first and second
Its good song (that wasn't made for the anime) but the actual credits animation isn't great.
Using a classic song to end episodes doesn't really say much, but it does work weirdly well to end episodes.

So many good ones here already. Real Folk Blues, Shiki no Uta, and Ergo Proxy are probably my favorites. I really like the Beck ending too.
My contribution for something subdued but perfectly unsettling.

HxH2011 is DAMN close to that claim as well if it wasn't for the Dragonforce as fuck ED1. Or does that make it the best string of EDs?
Yoko Kanno and the animation are perfectly fitting. That anime was depressing af tho...
Sure, everyone loves "Roundabout", but if we're talking 1970s rock songs being repurposed as anime end themes then my vote goes for the two episodes of Maison Ikkoku that used Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Get Down":
Admittedly, their using O'Sullivan's "Alone Again" for the opening theme is even better, but sadly that'll have to wait until the next time we're specifically discussing 1970s rock songs being repurposed as anime openings.

I've always like the Initial D stage 1 ending song.
I can't find the anime version, so here's the whole thing

OP is right. There's no point for this thread to be open when none of the replies live up to Roundabout. lol
Thank fuck someone linked Lithium Flower. Sooooo good.
Code Geass also had baller EDs:
Valvrave the Liberator also had a sick one that they'd fade in before the ending like Roundabout:
