2019 End of the Year Lists
The very top is a little weak with only 2 pairs below a 17.0, but a strong top 20, with the 20th ranked pair even higher than the extremely strong 2024. Rules: All songs must be paired together for at least 2 episodes. Songs can only be counted once for a pairing. The average rank (green number) is calculated by taking an average of the songs rank in my OP and ED lists. Ties are broken by whichever show had a song with the highest ranking. Songs can have started in a different year as long as the pairing started this year, in which case the previous year song is placed a decimal in it's respective list. Notes: (1/2) means it's a pairing between OP 1 and ED 2, (2) means OP and ED 2 and so on. The second song shown is the one that did better in it's respective list. https://ko-fi.com/daytona520 Links: http://anisonpreviews.com/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1His0V9KP8N52mgG-MRfFC5Step6fSNQTQAAqJT4603I/edit?usp=sharing https://animemusicquiz.com/ https://www.dailymotion.com/Daytona-520 https://utreon.com/c/AnimeSongLists https://discord.gg/D2sy4xE Songs Used: Boruto: Naruto Next Generations OP 5: "Golden Time" by Fujifabric Boruto: Naruto Next Generations ED 10: "Mikansei na Hikari-tachi" by Haruka Fukuhara Cardfight!!

Considering one of these songs literally won the year rank, maybe I was a bit too hasty in calling it underrated. https://ko-fi.com/daytona520 Links: http://anisonpreviews.com/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1His0V9KP8N52mgG-MRfFC5Step6fSNQTQAAqJT4603I/edit?usp=sharing https://animemusicquiz.com/ https://www.dailymotion.com/Daytona-520 https://utreon.com/c/AnimeSongLists https://discord.gg/D2sy4xE Songs Used: Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin - Zenya Akai Suisei ED 1: "Meguriai" by SUGIZO feat.

Moving on to the year end lists, we start with a look back at the overrated stuff from 2019. Surprisingly, I still stand by 9 of these picks. Number 8 looks a bit silly now though. https://ko-fi.com/daytona520 Links: http://anisonpreviews.com/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1His0V9KP8N52mgG-MRfFC5Step6fSNQTQAAqJT4603I/edit?usp=sharing https://animemusicquiz.com/ https://www.dailymotion.com/Daytona-520 https://utreon.com/c/AnimeSongLists https://discord.gg/D2sy4xE Songs Used: Black Clover OP 7: "JUSTadICE" by Seiko Oomori Domestic na Kanojo OP 1: "Kawaki wo Ameku" by Minami Dororo ED 1: "Sayonara Gokko" by amazarashi Dororo ED 2: "Yamiyo" by Eve Dr. Stone OP 2: "Sangenshoku" by PELICAN FANCLUB Enen no Shouboutai OP 1: "Inferno" by Mrs. GREEN APPLE Gunjou no Magmell OP 1: "Dash&Daaash!!" by Fudanjuku Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari OP 1: "RISE" by MADKID Vinland Saga ED 1: "Torches" by Aimer Vinland Saga ED 2: "Drown" by milet
