It's so hard to choose just one...

I think I'd have to nominate the Monogatari series. Each arc centers around a character, and that character's VA sings the op, not to mention most of them are incredibly catchy.

Macross Plus also has a phenomenal sound track, with some of Yoko Kanno's best work, IMO. It also ties in heavily with plot involving an AI pop superstar. It's really still pretty prescient today.

Some of the Yuki Kaijura soundtracks have been pretty outstanding as well. Both .hack//sign and Noir, for example.

As a Monogatari fan (🤮), I really adore the soundtrack. Not just the OP's and ED's but the background music too.

Sutekimeppou Kenka and Jinchiku playfully help carry long dialogue and deliver their "punchlines" (there's a lot more, I just can't find them on YouTube). Nisemono adds to Kaiki's mysterious and deceptive aura.

I also like the leitmotifs like Senjougahara Tore, Shideno Tori, Youkoso Koyomioniichan Kawaigatteagerune (really love this one) and a lot more I've forgotten the titles of.

And of course, Kairaku. If you know, you know.

There's so much variety.
