15 Anime Soundtracks That Are Worth Listening To On Repeat
Not all anime are renown for their scores, but these 15 series knocked it out of the park when it came to their soundtracks.
Soundtracks are the soul behind an anime . Take One Piece and its Thriller Bark arc, for example. Once the anime gets comfortably knee-deep into the plot, "Bings Sake" cheers the audience on with intense passion. An anime wouldn't work without its soundtrack , which can unlock elements behind the action and visuals that were previously never even considered. Sometimes even the characters in an anime series feel incomplete without the proper music to accompany their actions.
RELATED: 5 Saddest Musical Themes In Neon Genesis Evangelion (& 5 Happiest)
It's undeniable that music in an anime is just as important as the illustrations , plot, direction, and any other creative element. The soundtrack in any given anime is as varied as the depth of the plot and range of its characters, but it can frequently come across as more surprising.
Updated December 2nd, 2021 by Brittanie Maldonado: Sometimes an anime truly doesn't come alive until music is added to the package. It's such a significant element that it's not uncommon for an anime's soundtrack to be viewed as its own character. Music can often go under-appreciated in anime series, but when it properly connects with the right material, it's an absolutely transcendent experience.
15 FLCL Uses Music To Reflect The Chaotic Nature Of Adolescence
FLCL is a burst of magic that tells a coming-of-age story in a wildly unique way, where practically every frame subverts expectations. FLCL's follow-up series, FLCL Progressive and Alternative , explore the same themes, but through different ciphers.
FLCL slightly changes and tackles different fears and vulnerabilities, but the aggressive and passionate music by the popular Japanese group The Pillows perfectly establishes FLCL 's unpredictable and brash sensibility. FLCL is a truly chaotic journey, but its impact would be much less effective without its energetic music, easily making it one of the best anime OSTs.
14 Dragon Ball GT's Music Is The Sequel Anime's Secret Weapon
It's easy to criticize Dragon Ball GT as an odd misfire in the larger Dragon Ball franchise. Dragon Ball GT may contain questionable plotting, but the anime's score by Akihito Tokunaga is absolutely phenomenal. Tokunaga's music for Dragon Ball GT conjures the playful nature of the original series, but still displays an evolution of themes that mesh with Dragon Ball Z 's more action-packed battles.
Dragon Ball GT 's main opening theme song, "Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku," is some of the best anime music out there, and makes it that much harder to accept Mark Menza's hip-hop, nu-metal approach to Dragon Ball GT 's American score.
13 Hiroyuki Sawano's Score In Attack On Titan Is As Crucial As The Deadly Giants
Attack on Titan is one of the biggest anime of this generation. It's an impressive accomplishment when it comes to storytelling, characterization, and animation, but the series' epic and inspirational music really helps establish Titan's grandiose tone .
RELATED: Top 10 Games Where The Soundtrack Was Distracting
Attack on Titan 's music is a vital component of why the series is just so exciting, but the fact that there are massive concerts full of passionate fans that perform alongside Hiroyuki Sawano's compositions is proof of the power and sense of community that Attack on Titan 's soundtrack generates. All of the theme songs pump up the audience in a sublime fashion.
12 Neon Genesis Evangelion's Music Helps The Anime's Crippling Subject Matter Resonate
Neon Genesis Evangelion should be mandatory viewing for anyone that's a fan of psychological and mentally draining narratives . On the surface level, Evangelion is a mecha series, but it's so much deeper and examines the human condition and depression with startling clarity.
Shirō Sagisu is responsible for Evangelion 's haunting music, which emphasizes the moody, melancholy, and spiritual nature of the series. On top of everything else, Evangelion 's iconic opening theme, "A Cruel Angel's Thesis," performed by Yoko Takahashi, is still widely considered as one of the best anime music pieces of all time.
11 Music Is Essential To The Conversation In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a masterpiece that's tremendously creative with the way in which it evolves its narrative into a sprawling generational story. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is distinctly itself , but it also has a deep passion for music, right down to character names.
Yugo Kanno is responsible for the majority of JoJo's music since Stardust Crusaders and it creates an elegant and exciting environment for the series to exist in. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure also treats its opening and closing songs very seriously, and they often pull from famous American or Western music that fits the themes of the season.
10 Takeshi Abo's Work On Steins;Gate Brings The Action To Life
The soundtrack to Steins;Gate displays a great level of variety, which has helped boost it as one of the best anime OSTs. Like any standard anime, it consists of openings, endings, and themes. Takeshi Abo is the main music contributor to the anime. Steins;Gate 's opening, "Hacking to the Gate," performed by Kanako Itō and composed by Chiyomaru Shikura, is an all-time favorite.
RELATED: 10 Talented Anime Musicians (Who Are Not From A Musical Anime)
However, the standout track in Steins;Gate is a symphony called "Gate of Steiner," composed by Abo. Likewise, "Cycle," "Explanation," and "Assailant" are other phenomenal tracks by Abo. There are really no misses in the mix and it features some of the best music from the larger Steins;Gate universe.
9 The Haunting Music In Death Note Gets To The Root Of The Characters
The Death Note original soundtrack is composed by Yoshihisa Hirano. While it's considered one of the best anime OSTs, it isn't as elaborate as other best anime music. The timing of "Death Note" by Hideaki Taniuchi couldn't have been more aptly placed, and the track restores faith in post-rock music.
"Requiem" is another cult favorite from the anime, which makes it easy to pine for L . "Domine Kira" is an ode to Lord Kira. "Alert" will always have the words, "Dad, no please" reverberate in the listener's ears. "Teleology of Death," "Dirge," and "Light Lights up Light" are a couple more fantastic tracks in the anime. Overall, Death Note proudly boasts a winning soundtrack when the anime's plot hits deeper on the loop.
8 Ghost In The Shell Embraces Experimental Sound To Unpack Its Complex Themes
The soundtrack to Ghost in the Shell is another masterpiece. Composed by Kenji Kawai, Ghost in the Shell 's orchestrations result in a globally acclaimed soundtrack. Those that value drums should have an extra level of appreciation for Kawai's work here. Kawai breaks from the norm and showcases some experimental ideas with his Ghost in the Shell compositions .
Kawai claims to have incorporated Indian drums to compose Ghost in the Shell 's sound at the request of the director, Mamoru Oshii, but Kawai reportedly struggled with the scaling of drums. Some of the more iconic tracks are "M02 Ghosthack" and "M08 Floating Museum." The soundtrack can be best described as tribal ambient with magnanimous female voices.
7 Tatsuya Kato's Music In Free! Iwatobi Swim Club Drives The Characters To Work Harder
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club wouldn't have the same impact if it wasn't for Tatsuya Kato's soundtrack. The soundtrack mainly consists of electronic music and makes for some of the best anime music. Fans should consider listening to this album as an equivalent of getting a shot of adrenaline.
Every soundtrack is curated perfectly to the plot in the anime. Tracks such as "LADDERLESS" and "Serious Game" never get redundant. Released by the label Lantis, the soundtrack to Free! is a great way to build up energy and a proactive atmosphere.
6 Pokémon 2.B.A. Master Features Uplifting Tracks To Inspire Its Audience
Twenty years ago, the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master album came out. Produced by John Loeffler, the album was the first soundtrack curated for global audiences. Pokémon 2.B.A. Master sold millions of copies worldwide and was nothing short of a mega-hit. Jason Paige's iconic performance during the opening theme, "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was..." reverberates loud and clear to this day.
RELATED: 10 Pokémon Based Around Music
It's still hard to deny the impact of the magic words, "Gotta catch 'em all." The song and soundtrack raised a generation of '90s kids who will never forget it. Other easy favorites in the list are "PokéRAP" by James D-Train Williams, "My Best Friends" by Ray Green, and "You Can Do It," by John Loeffler.
5 Bombastic Music Powers Up Gundam Build Fighters For Combat
Gundam Build Fighters comes from Yûki Hayashi, a Japanese composer who has gained an immense reputation with some of his latest work – most prominently My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. Hayashi's soundtrack for Gundam Build Fighters might possibly be the finest contribution of his career.
The soundtrack picks an exciting pace with a combination of synthesized sounds and traditional instruments. The soundtrack includes 55 tracks, all of which make for some of the best anime music. Right from the opening theme, "Nibun no Ichi" to "Imagination > Reality" to "Chase Me," Gundam Build Fighters' soundtrack steals the show.
4 Log Horizon Leans Into RPG Staples To Create An Incredible Soundtrack
Log Horizon is based upon Mamare Touno's novel series of the same name. Yasuharu Takanashi has composed music for the anime. The anime's opening theme is a delight and it quickly proves that Takanashi is a musical genius. Log Horizon's original soundtrack consists of 35 songs, mainly dominated by the sound of electric guitars in battles.
The frenetic music that's reminiscent of RPG battle music is easily the highlight of Log Horizon . The effect of traditional RPG music elevates the plot to a higher pedestal. Every single track in Log Horizon is perfectly crafted for its purpose.
3 Naruto's Soundtrack Crafts The Perfect Sound To This Exciting Adventure
The soundtrack to the original Naruto is an album composed by Musashi and Toshio Masuda. Released back in 2003, songs like "Rocks" and "Go GO Naruto" became instant favorites. Naruto's main theme and Sakura's theme are some of the best anime music in the compilation.
Other songs, such as "I said I'm Naruto," "Victory," and "Turn Over!" are also incredibly infectious and hard to ignore. Naruto is an iconic anime for many reasons, but Musashi and Masuda's music is a genuine factor for why Naruto has been able to break through as such a mainstream hit.
2 The Music In Cowboy Bebop Is Just As Much Of A Character As The Crew
Every anime fan owes it to themselves to listen to the genius of Yoko Kanno . Her soundtrack for the must-watch anime, Cowboy Bebop , is some of her strongest work and immediately establishes the sci-fi anime's voice. Cowboy Bebop 's album is put together by the Seatbelts, Kanno's acclaimed blues/jazz band.
It's impossible to deny the infectious quality of Cowboy Bebop 's opening number, "TANK," but the elegiac "Real Folk Blues" is just as powerful. These emotional songs represent the many extremes of Cowboy Bebop, but the soundtrack features lots of diverse musical genres that represent the versatility of this foundational anime series.
1 The Epic Journey In One Piece Is Not The Same Without Its Iconic Soundtrack
Plenty of anime have satisfying soundtracks, but it's hard to compare with the masterpiece of music that's been put together One Piece. One Piece 's soundtrack has received acclaim from critics and fans alike and its theme, "We Are," won anime theme song of the year back in 2000.
One Piece 's musical accomplishments have only grown more intense and its music often functions as fitting odes to pirates , the sea, and treasure. One Piece has even ambitiously included Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony" in its soundtrack, making it one of the best anime OSTs out there.

The Best Classic Anime Opening Songs
They have defined childhoods, made friendships and given karaoke sessions a major shot in the arm. Here’s our selection of the best anime opening songs (anisongs to aficionados), from 1970s classics such as Lupin III to 2000s shows including Samurai Champloo .
‘moonlight densetsu’ (‘sailor moon’ season 1).
Artist: DALI
An earworm so potent it should be quarantined, this iconic theme perfectly soundtracks Usagi Tsukino in her daily struggle to save the universe, woo Tuxedo Mask and get her homework done. Like many animes of the ’80s, the song has an equally era-defining English-language version. Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva delivered a show-stopping routine – complete with Moon Prism Power transformation – to the show’s soundtrack at the Tokyo World Team Trophy Exhibition in 2017, sending her skating into the hearts of otaku (anime fans) across the globe.
‘Ai o Torimodose!!’ (‘Hokuto no Ken’ season 1)

Crystal King vocalist Monsieur Yoshiaki gives his vocal cords a serious workout for the theme to the show we know in English as Fist of the North Star . It’s one of the best anime theme songs for sheer power, thanks to a memorable refrain (“You wa shock”) and inspired many impressionable youngsters, one of whom would grow up to become former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett, who used the tune as his entrance theme before doing battle.
‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ (‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’)
Artist: Yoko Takahashi
Evangelion mastermind Hideaki Anno had no intention of using a conventional theme for his ’90s masterpiece. His first choice was Alexander Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances from the opera Prince Igor . But the channel broadcasting the show, TV Tokyo, felt such a choice could risk confusing viewers, and asked him to come back with something a bit more catchy. The rest is history. A reasonable argument can be made for this being the greatest anime song of all time, somehow managing to perfectly fit the show’s dark themes (apocalypse, depression, incest, Oedipal complexes and massive robots) despite being, at heart, a disco banger.
‘Rupan Sansei no Tēmu’ (‘Lupin III’)
Artist: Yuji Ohno
Yuji Ohno’s music for the long-running show, which debuted in 1971, is unique among anime soundtracks in that it works even if you have no interest in the source material (or, for that matter, anime in general). The soundtrack was recently rereleased on vinyl in Japan and its lush cinematic mix of funk, disco and jazz is the sort of thing you could stick on at a cocktail party and instantly make the evening more glamorous.
‘Guren no Yumiya’ (‘Attack on Titan’ season 1)
Artist: Linked Horizon
Epic, delirious and overwhelming, Linked Horizon’s prog metal assault evokes the kind of emotions you would expect from a show about skyscraper-sized giants devouring people. The mood is one of frantic, survive-at-all-costs action, accompanied by one of the all-time great opening sequences, as the brave souls of the Scout Regiment zoom over rooftops while struggling to bring down the nightmarish colossi. A fan favourite, it has numerous cover versions on YouTube, from a capella renditions to an impressive effort using bagpipes.
‘Uchuu Senkan Yamato’ (‘Space Battleship Yamato’)
Artist: Isao Sasaki
Distinguished voice actor and singer Isao Sasaki is a legend in anime. Not only has he performed the themes to a number of classic shows, he also performed voice work and is held in such high esteem that he was chosen to be the voice of Superman in the Japanese dub of the Christopher Reeve-era movies. His warm, venerable baritone is put to unforgettable use in the opening to the iconic space opera – this is one of the most iconic anime songs, and one so stirring that even the Japanese navy has paid tribute to it.
‘Kiss You’ (‘Silver Spoon’ season 1)
Artist: Miwa
This one’s every bit as life-affirming and feel-good as its source material. Japanese singer/actress Miwa’s upbeat vocals are the ideal fit for this slice-of-life anime, which deserves special mention for the quality of all its opening and closing songs, particularly the ending theme to season 2, which will keep your spirits up as you pray for that elusive third season.
‘Tank!’ (‘Cowboy Bebop’)
Artist: The Seatbelts
Among the best anime openings of all time, this one sits alongside A Cruel Angel’s Thesis for the coveted No 1 spot. Composer Yoko Kanno concocted a superb mix of blues, jazz, swing and pop, topped with a contemporary twist; it was an instant classic on release. In the early 2000s, the music got the remix treatment from a number of EDM musicians, including Luke Vibert.
‘Cha-La Head-Cha-La’ (‘Dragon Ball Z’)
Artist: Hironobu Kageyama
If you’re going to punch a baddie so hard you puncture an entire mountain with the force of the blow, you’re going to need the right kind of song. Enter Hironobu Kageyama, former member of rock band Lazy, and his enjoyably overwrought slice of anthemic gusto. Another fan favourite that’s been subjected to a host of cover versions, it appears regularly on TV and radio, even popping up in talent shows in Southeast Asia.
‘We Are!’ (‘One Piece’ episodes 1 to 47)
Artist: Hiroshi Kitadani
A planet-conquering phenomenon with more than 800 episodes aired, One Piece has a whopping 19 different opening themes across its many seasons. Of these, it’s the original that is still the best, and it’s every bit as swashbuckling and uplifting as protagonist Monkey D Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates. The song is also a showcase for the JAM Project, an anime theme songs supergroup that records regularly and performs spectacular concerts.
‘Battlecry’ (‘Samurai Champloo’)
Artist: Nujabes and Shing02
The legendary Japanese producer Nujabes was one of the most distinctive voices in Asian hip-hop until his tragic death in 2010. He left behind a game-changing body of work, including the theme to Shinichirō Watanabe’s acclaimed samurai epic, with beats that Flying Lotus would kill for. As with Lupin III , the soundtrack works as a fantastic listen in its own right.
‘Pokémon Theme’ (‘Pokémon’ season 1)
Artist: Jason Paige
This one may be breaking the rules a little bit as it’s for the English dub of the show, but it would be impossible not to include it on this list – it’s a song that defined an era. In the late ’90s, millions of kids emptied their pockets (or those of their parents) for the cultural juggernaut, and so beloved is the theme that mass singalongs in public still happen to this day. South Park memorably, and brilliantly, satirised both the franchise and its song during its third season.

Anime is a great way to fill in the blanks between periods of boredom and interest, just as music may become background white noise or be in an environment where others are working creates an artificial social pressure to keep churning out numbers. These are the top picks if you need anime to watch while you work or study.
