Top 10 Most Popular Anime Songs

these are the top 10 most popular

anime songs of all time

that's right for this list we're going

to be looking at tracks from across the

anime scene that have become ingrained

in the minds of fans everywhere if these

aren't in your playlist please return

your otaku card think we missed out on

an anime banger let us know in those

comments

number 10 : we are one piece

there have

been no shortage of straw hat shanties

over the years then yet somehow we

always find ourselves coming back to its

glorious first intro

before the likes of haki the world

governments kaido and ace made their

debut there was this adventurous

uplifting song that introduced luffy and

the crew to the world there's such a

sense of optimism in the chorus

perfectly mirroring the pirate antics of

the cast as they set sail it's no wonder

the anime kept bringing it back for an

encore again and again

number 9 : odd future my hero academia

while there were a few detractors who

didn't know how to feel when this song

came out it's since become a highlight

of the series

not only does it serve to build up hype

for the battle against all for one but

uberworld's signature electronic edge

did wonders for setting it apart from

its contemporaries in all the right ways

the eclectic instrumentation combined

with those high-pitched vocals

complement each other so well that you

can't help but view it as anything other

than anime's very own superhero anthem

number 8 : sharla hedgehog dragon ball

z

before there was rock the dragon there

was this belter of a song that has

become a synonymous with the dragon ball

name as super saiyans kamehamehas and

yamcha's continual failures

even after all these years it still

manages to hit that sweet spot between

kick-ass and karaoke while we got more

instrumentally intense follow-ups as the

franchise evolved no db fan with their

salts is gonna deny the staying power

and impact of hironobu kaguyama's

lyrical prowess

number 7 :

demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba

the pedigree of demon slayer's openings

is a lot like its animation flashy

expensive then hits it out the park

every time and the genesis of that stems

back to this powerhouse performance

while the vocals retain a grace and

elegance to it this is still a rock

track thrown through with a chorus that

hits harder than nezuko and guitar riffs

fierier than the hinokami it's just

another reason as to why this series

blew up as much as it did lisa does not

miss the last

number 6 : a cruel angels thesis neon

genesis evangelion

maybe if shinji had just gotten the

robot and blasted out this song his life

wouldn't be a turbulent void of pain

isolation and self-loathing on that note

this song is crazy good mix together an

operatic backdrop along some good

old-fashioned j-pop and you have an

unholy recipe for success it may not

give any hints as to the psychological

devastation to come but it still reaches

glorious heights keeping the illusion

going that we're in for some kind of

shonen mecca filled fun time

damn you anno

number 5 : renai circulation monogatari

if you're sleeping on this franchise

stop it because there's so much crazy

treasure to be found amongst its

catalogue of battles relationships and

visual wonderments it also spits out the

occasional modern classic

bubbly bouncy and drenched in

superfluous innocence that betrays the

inner turmoil of nadako's character this

song isn't so much catchy as it is

addictive it's no wonder that it's

become a staple over in the east one

capable of filling out arenas by name

alone

number 4 : sparkle your name

  of course 

one of the best anime movies ever

made would have a sublime soundtrack and

among its roster of gems none hit harder

than this

bad enough that its delicate melody and

soulful atmosphere will already have you

welling up but the fact this beautiful

track crops up moments after taking

mitsuha have a traumatic moment which is

undoubtedly the most heartbreaking scene

in the whole film

you'll weep no question twice over and

you'll be happy to listen to every note

along the way

Number 3 : attack on titan

the rumbling may be dominating rock

charts and sasuke may still rattle in

our heads but before all that there was

this opening track and to say it

exploded across the mainstream would be

an understatement

leaning into the more shonen side of

things though not skipping out on the

darkness linked horizon's killer song is

the definition of hype building and

building before delivering on a

monster-filled crescendo maybe this is

how the scout regiment recruited people

they just had this on repeat

number 2 : silhouette naruto shippuden

as expected of a former member of the

big three naruto had a serious amount of

opening songs under his ninja belts but

the one that seemed to resonate with

long-term fans the most would be this

a j-rock gateway into the climax of the

fourth great ninja war the song has a

copious amount of energy to it the

softer lyrics meshing seamlessly with

the harsh guitar wick to create what

just might be the most colorful and

ambient soundtrack to stem from an

animated battlefield

number 1 : unravel tokyo ghoul

a perfect example of an opening song

outliving its own anime everything about

this track is just so on points

vocally it's magnificent switching

between a haunting loki whisper before

exploding into a series of melodic

screams that capture the anguish of

kaneki and the grace in general splash

in some stellar animation to really

drive home the themes of reflections and

identity and you've got yourself

something truly special that appears on

just about a million tik toks if not

more.
