Anime songs & albums releases - October 2023

Here we are, halfway or so through the autumnal anime season, and as the leaves drop around us, so does more new music from our favourite animes.

We have some big release news to share with you from the VAP record label. They have recently dropped a lot of original soundtracks and ending songs from Hunter x Hunter, the ending song from the original Berserk anime, and a smattering of tunes from other shows in their catalogue.

Notable highlights from this season include MYTH & ROID's "ACHE in PULSE" from Arknights: Perish in Frost, EverdreaM's "Jekyll & Hyde" from Berserk of Gluttony, and Mili's "Entertainment" from Goblin Slayer II.

For those seeking something calm, why not try JUNNA's "Nemurasareta Lineage" from The Ancient Magus' Bride Season 2 Part 2 and ELAIZA's "Scrap & Build" from Kamierabi.

For anyone seeking some high-energy vibes this month, check out "ROAR" by ulma sound junction from Ragna Crimson and MADKID's "SIN" from The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3.

Read on below for more of last month’s releases, including all the off-season releases and new artist drops.
