I picked out some of my favorite openings and endings for this season below. Honestly speaking, after doing this a couple seasons now for these posts, this season has been fairly disappointing on the OP/ED front for me. I think my favorite season in recent memory was Winter 2024, which was full of great stuff.

Alright, I promised more discussion of Shikatan's OP. I ran across a fan summary of an interview with the people that created the OP and it is full of interesting info. I think my favorite bit was how open the anime studio left things to the musical artists:
Other interesting bits are the importance they placed on four syllable words and phrases (the first verse is entirely this) to keep the rhythm and catchiness of the title. It was so catchy in fact, that the first draft was immediately approved and is what was used for the show:
There is lots of other interesting bits in that interview, and I encourage you to check it out (even if it means opening up reddit)!
