Whatever happened to anime EDs changing every episode? Some shows like HOTD and, perhaps most famously Oreimo, used to do it, but the practice has all but died out now. In fact, I can't even think of any show from the last two years that changed EDs every episode. What happened?

Costs too much. Not enough resources.

Why did Oreimo do it then?

Doesn't Monogatari also change its OP frequently? It's the only show I can think of that does that, though.

Big production. Guaranteed payoff.

Yeah, every new story arc.

How come no other show does that then?

Nothing happened, it was never a frequent occurrence to begin with.

I don't think this was ever at all common. It was kinda a thing in 2009-2010 (HOTD, the two seasons of Sora no Otoshimono, Oreimo), but then it died out. The last shows I can think of that did this were Oreimo and Hayate no Gotoku Cuties in Spring 2013.

Youjo Senki.

No, Youjo Senki only had one ED: Los Los Los.

So it was just a fad?

Cost, mostly.
Besides, Bakemonogatari (the first series, at least) was based on a series of short stories, and they used a different OP for each story. Most other shows use one big chunk of source material.

What's funny is that Eromanga Sensei didn't do it when Oreimo "popularized" it.

I assume because of budget and scheduling reasons. You'd have to bring more people on to the production. SHAFT can do it because Shinbo is really close to the studios responsible for the Monogatari EDs.

It's not a fad, it's literally just done whenever they feel like doing it and have the budget to do so. Are you being retarded on purpose? It was never a fad, it was never common.

Akiba's Trip

Touken Ranbu

>No, Youjo Senki only had one ED: Los Los Los.

That's incorrect.

Penguindrum did it in the second half but 2012 was already 5 years ago. Oh and how could I forget Mushishi. S2 was 2015 iirc.

Closest I can remember is Relife.

Akiba's Trip did it last season.

Exception, not the rule.

How was it as an anime?

ReLife did it the best. All good songs from when the MC was originally a teenager.

i like the one in sasami san where its the same ED but different VA singing the song every episode

Retarded, you can't read.

Wasn't an adaption if game story.

Tokyo ghoul garbage was pure shit but it had great changing EDs, the art was top tier.

Handa-San ED added characters every episode

GJ-bu, Kitakubu and Sore ga Seiyuu

First ED of LWA did that

>perhaps most famously Oreimo

I'm pretty sure Oreimo itself covered why having changing EDs is a hassle. If its not a huge production then its not worth the effort, commissioning songwriting and animation is a pain in the ass and puts a strain on the production.
