In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of anime tracks that we highly recommend for reflecting on graduation.

Alongside staple songs that every anime fan will think of, we’re also featuring tracks that aren’t originally “graduation songs” but evoke the feeling of graduation.

We hope you find a new favorite!
