Music makes the world go round New season, new anime - and also new RC Patreon commissions! That's right, we're back at it, this time for our amazing subscriber Nicc, and the topic of choice is our favourite anime OPs, EDs, and OSTs. Unlike our earlier top three anime Patreon post this one wound up be being hard for a few of us, because hey, nothing says challenging like picking music. Very challenging indeed. Also as a reminder, if you'd like to get us writing about something like this, consider becoming a Random Curiosity Patreon supporter!
