I think I’m gonna go with the entire Hellsing 2001 soundtrack
Hellsing Ultimate is the better adaption of the manga, but Yasushi Ishii made something that transcends even that with these songs
I don’t know about “best,” but my favorite is Gekkou Revenge by Franchouchou from Zombieland Saga Revenge.
And definitely not “best” but one I just like - Sanki Tousen by Manias from Akiba’s Trip: The Animation.
And potentially actually the best - the one to which so many others have aspired in later years God Knows by ENOZ from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.
OPs and EDs? It’s hard to choose, there are so many good ones.
Live songs? Yuru Yuri live events are peak seiyuu aidoru especially the first season OP and ED 😤
Insert songs? I really don’t know off the top of my head!
Songs sung by characters? THAT one from ARIA (not spoiling it). And the songs from K-ON! (also written by them). I also liked the graduation song from Non Non Biyori.
BGM? ARIA and Hidamiri Sketch have some OST that have vocals and are thus songs technically. Most of them don’t have lyrics but if we count it then I pick those.
Character songs? Probably more Yuru Yuri songs especially the live versions. Lucky Star has great ones especially those where they sing karaoke together.
Intro to Cowboy Bebop
Love this, but I personally have The Real Folk Blues as my favorite Cowboy Bebop song.
I like too much of Cowboy Bebop’s soundtrack to pick a favorite. It’s all incredible.
I’m feeling Space Lion right now.
That is a beautiful song.
