Anime Intro vs. Anime Outro refers to a series of memes humorously comparing stereotypical intro and outro sequences in anime. The format gained a moderate spread on Reddit in late June 2019.
However, there are some outro themes that are just too good to skip. Far from throwaway, anime themes don't get enough credit for all that they bring to a series. The best anime outros help to underscore especially intense ending sequences, as a familiar medley can provide viewers with a cathartic release of tension.
In the following days, the format saw a moderate spread on Reddit, with notable examples appearing in /r/animemes [7] and /r/memes. [8] In most examples, anime intro was represented as an active, aggressive sequence in contrast to a calm, melancholic outro.
The anime outro has a life of its own, as countless memes have been created that feature the alluring song and the instantly recongizable "To Be Continued" sign. The whole phenomenon highlights how insanely memorable (and exploitable) the first ending theme for JoJo is.
The best anime outros help to underscore especially intense ending sequences, as a familiar medley can provide viewers with a cathartic release of tension. While a good anime outro can't fix a bad show, it can serve to set the general tone of a series, and may even stay engrained in viewers' heads for years to come.

I've started to notice lately that the vast majority of anime (that I can find, anyway) seems to have opening (OP) and ending (ED) sequences which are 1 minute and 30 seconds long.
ED is not an acronym, but an abbreviation of "EnDing song" usually used to refer to the ending theme songs of anime. If an anime has multiple endings over time the order number is usually suffixed, so ED2 = Ending song #2.

You can tell animes that have trouble filling runtime by having longer and longer title sequences. Also for consistency. Metrics show that people are quick to latch on to what they know, so if they're familiar with an opening when it comes on, it minimizes the risk of them changing the channel.
The director usually just picks a song from that pile and uses it. They might tweak the lyrics a little bit to fit the show better. The record label will then go back and finish the song with the artist of their choosing, who may or may not be a voice actor featured in the show.
The opening of 1974's Majokko Meg-chan television series is 150 seconds. The One Piece television series has always had long opening credits, but its 8th through current 13th openings have been 2:30.
Original SoundtrackThe music used in a show. This includes background music, mood music, incidental music and opening and ending theme music. For longer TV series, there is often too much music to release on a single CD, so several OSTs will be released (often called OST1, OST2, etc.)

"Alumina" by Nightmare is the first ending of the classic anime, Death Note. The song's lyrics parallel the ideals of Light Yagami to create a new world. They reflect that he will stop at nothing to achieve such an ideal.
"Hunting For Your Dream" by Galynerus is the second ending of Hunter X Hunter. Many fans remember hearing the anime's narrator speak at the end of the anime as this song begins to fade in. This song builds excitement for what is to come.
The first ending song of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the 1970's hit "Roundabout" by Yes. Though every Jojo's intro song is iconic in their own right, "Roundabout" by Yes is a notable outro because the sound of the guitar fading into the end of an episode became synonymous with a cliffhanger on the horizon.
This Vampire Knight ending is creepy, to say the least. The haunting voice of singer Kanon Wakeshima over the overwhelming instrumental gives listeners goosebumps. The song itself is chilling on its' own- but when paired with the ending animation of Vampire Knight, the horror levels skyrocket.
FictionJunction and LiSA teamed up for the first ending of Demon Slayer, "From The Edge." This song is haunting on its' own — but when paired with the beautiful animation, viewers getting the chills is inevitable.
Assassination Classroom's first ending is a calm, acoustic track by Moumoon. It features messy drawings of the characters and the events throughout the story on a blackboard. The ending is simple, yet it displays so much about the anime and the characters.
The second ending of Haikyuu!! is "LEO" by Tacica. This ending is relatively simple, but it displays much about Kageyama. This ending only shows Kageyama. He is shown practicing volleyball in Karasuno's gymnasium, going through volleyball after volleyball. It shows him running in the gym after going through all of them.
