Anime Ost Database 〈No Ads〉

| Resource | Strengths | Weaknesses | | --- | --- | --- | | | Great for physical CDs, composer data, catalog numbers. | Primarily video game music; anime is secondary. Clunky UI. | | AniDB | Episode-level notes exist. | Not music-focused; clunky and outdated interface. | | YouTube / SoundCloud | Instant access to tracks. | Constant takedowns, poor metadata, no episode linking. | | Reddit (r/animemusic, r/anime) | Human recommendations, obscure finds. | Disorganized, threads disappear, no structured search. | | Spotify/Apple playlists | Legit streaming. | Region-locked, missing BGM-only tracks, no episode info. |
