Really making me wrack my brain here, but that’s what I got for now, tried to pick a few that a lot of folks probably wouldn’t be all too familiar with. Of course there’s plenty more I like that have already been mentioned here like Sorairo Days and the like.
I didn't know or care about the sport at all going in, but the show presented it in such a way that you can't help get invested in the characters. On top of that it's just a excellently told story with a lot of good drama, and I think it says a lot about people and their relationship to sports/hobbies/art/etc. I hope other people will give it a try. :)
Cowboy Bebop is almost cheating. The whole OST is fantastic. “Space Lion” replaced “The Real Folk Blues” in one episode because they knew it was that fucking good.
edit: Hellsing’s original wonky half-finished adaptation deserves mention, even if its opening doesn’t belong in the same tier. They really did twelve episodes based on half a tankoban and then wrote two whole albums of jazzy rock music.
Cruel Angel Thesis - Evangelion
Kuusou Mesorogiwi - Mirai Nikki
Bacchikoi amd Heroes Come Back - Naruto Shippuden
Basically Everything from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. If I had to pick, sheet, I'd say Stone Ocean. Canzioni Preferite is the best non-opening song though!
