Went through all the OPs EDs for this season (and tried not to be too biased against the shows I didn't end up liking, lol). Here are my favorites:

OPs

Bureaucrat to Villainess has a lot of energy and expresses its emotions very well
Fruitsmaster goes way harder than it has any right to, considering the quality of the show itself. This is one of those OPs that can trick someone into wasting time watching a show that doesn't deserve it
Apothecary Diaries delivers yet another amazing OP, which my light novel reading friend says is full of interesting visual references we'll understand later. It also has wet Jinshi
Medalist conveys the motion of skating really well and makes me wish I enjoyed the show, lol
Sorairo Utility uses colors and cuts to match the bounciness of the melody really well and the whole thing has a fun vibe

EDs

Bureaucrat to Villainess does a really fun after-work karaoke
Honey Lemon Soda does a good job giving the vibe of hanging out with friends taking dumb pictures
Medalist reflects the more childish side of the main character with a cute little dream
Solo Leveling constructs a very sinister vibe that gives the impression of a much more psychological/thriller type thing than the impression I have of the show itself (I only watched a few episodes). Not sure how well it matches, but the ED in isolation is great
Red Ranger gives a view into a little what-if that has a very comfy vibe

Notable Non-Favorites

Anyway I'm Falling in Love with You and Honey Lemon Soda have strikingly similar OPs?
You and Idol Precure's ED has some pretty impressive CGI animation
Apothecary Diaries' ED feels like exactly the kind of AMV that Jinshi himself would make, lol
Yami Shibai's ED confuses me greatly
