Girls’ Last Tour Song of Raindrops ED
What’s common on those four? They’re all works of art with very emotional music.
My top favorite is that of A Place Further Than The Universe for personal reasons. I had a fulfilling trip shortly after watching this show for the first time. Hearing the song again/watching the show again made me very, very happy each time.
In the context of anime, an ED is the song/visuals that play at the end of the episode. Similarly, the opening song/visuals are referred to as an OP.
Thanks! I’ve read of OP more often, not ED as much, didn’t think it’d warrant shortening! 😅
Your question actually got me curious, so I tried to search for where it came from and it is literally just short for EnDing. Seems a bit silly really. It does provide a nice symmetry with OP though.
Could have something to do with Japanese phonology
