I picked out a handful of my favorite OPs and EDs and grouped them by shows that I am watching vs. shows that I am not watching. I also threw in a couple random mentions at the end for fun. These are in no particular order.

From shows I am watching

Bureaucrat to Villainess ED - Matsuken Samba II - A cover of a pretty well-known song in Japan that is just a whole bunch of fun.
Ameku M.D. ED - will be fine - A really well-sung duet that gets stuck in my head super easily.
Guild Receptionist OP - Perfect Day - Cloverworks delivered some gorgeous visuals in this OP. They even made it a cinematic aspect ratio to accompany their cinematic visuals. Absolutely worth a watch. The song isn't bad either, but that's not why it made this list for me.
Apothecary Diaries OP - Hyakka Ryouran - A great song and even more beautiful visuals. Now that we are a couple episodes into this season, the number of clues that are hidden in this OP upon rewatching it is really impressive.

From shows I am not watching

Honey Lemon Soda ED - Wonderful World - A lot of fun. An upbeat song to match its silly visuals.
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun - These lists I do each season seem to always have at least one song from Masayoshi Ooishi. The other song he did this season is pretty good, and he has a song from last season that has carried through to this season as well.
Solo Leveling OP - ReawakeR - Inject Felix straight into my veins. Stray Kids have become the go-to manhwa action adaptation music artist between their work on Tower of God and now Solo Leveling.
Shangri-La Frontier OP2 - Frontiers - I really enjoyed this one. A good mix of hip hop and some choral backing.

Honorable Mentions

Moe as Heck - Guild Receptionist ED - Ashita no Watashi ni Sachi Are - Just crank the chibi and moe to the max and this is what you get.
Most Stacked VA List - Precure Mirai Days ED - Kisekira Link - Rie Takahashi, Saori Hayami, and Yui Horie play the three leads and sing the ED. The Precure series makes serious bank in Japan and they decided to use some of that for their VA budget.
I Like Animation...But Not Like That... - Momentary Lily OP - Oishii Survivor - We get it GoHands, you animate. Now, can you tone it down just a bit? I feel like that hair is coming out of the screen to strangle me.
Horniest Powerpoint - Aquarion: Myth of Emotions ED - Kokuhaku - This ED feels like you are browsing an artist's past commissions rather than an animated ED.

This ED feels like you are browsing an artist’s past commissions rather than an animated ED.

I had to know what you meant by that and wow. As promised. Do the characters actually walk around like that in the show?

No, and it doesn't even resemble the character designs used in the show proper—which is kind of a shame, because the artwork in the show proper is seriously ugly. (The ED visuals seem to be harking back to some flashback material from the earlier Aquarion franchise shows, but those showed the characters fully dressed, for Graeco-Roman-ish values of "fully dressed", if I recall correctly. And not quite in that style.)
