My top five from this season (that I'm watching (and that I could vote on)):
1. "MOTOR CITY" - No Guns Life
2. "Thought I Knew" - Stand My Hero
3. "Q-Vism" - Psycho-Pass 3
4. "Take On Fever" - Special 7
5. "Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy" - Outburst Dreamer Boys
But yeah, if "Dark Crow" - Vinland Saga was an option it would have absolutely taken second place. That song rocks hard.

I have to disagree here. The mood of Beastar's story is dark and light at the same time; it's fun, and the OP conveys the mood perfectly.

I'm gonna be a wet blanket with my unpopular opinion: I don't care for the opening of Beastars, in terms of both the music and the visuals. I remember it trending on tumblr when the second episode came out and thought it would be something to look forward to. But after watching it, I didn't really have anything positive to say about it. Sure, it's original, but that's about it. I generally skip it.
If Vinland Saga's "Dark Crow" or Fire Force's "Mayday" were on the list, I definitely would have voted for them. Like a lot of people have already said, if the animation for Mayday had been on par with Inferno's, it would probably be better received. Shout-out to Black Clover for their consistently catchy openings too. Sky and Blue was great, and I'm loving the current opening. The animation for Noelle is fantastic.
My underrated faves of the season are Granblue Fantasy's "Stay with Me" and Stars Align's "Suisou". While MHA's Polaris is good, it's not my favorite out of MHA (that might change since I haven't listened to the full version yet).
Honestly though, when we get a poll for best ending of Fall 2019, I'll have a much harder time choosing a Top 5, especially if Vinland Saga's "drown" and Fire Force's "Nounai" are added to a list that includes SAO's "Unlasting", MHA's "Koukai no Uta", and more.

Based on how they handled Ingress, it's likely to show up around April. Ingress premiered in October in Japan and April 30th on Netflix.

Actually, I'd say Beastars' OP sums up the mood and themes of the series pretty well even though the only characters featured are Legosi, Haru and Louis. There's a clear contrast with the dark, unsettling scenes in the forest and the lighthearted scenes at the fountain; while the story is largely on the darker side, there are some lighthearted slice-of-life chapters and scenes to balance that out.
The themes are also pretty well conveyed throughout; there's the ongoing conflict between carnivores and herbivores (as shown with Legosi chasing Haru through the forest), Legosi and Haru's developing relationship (with Legosi and Haru's dance at the fountain), and Legosi's struggles with his own inherent carnivore nature (his romantic and very cute scenes with Haru turn out to be just a fantasy since in the end it's revealed that he killed and ate her, which shows his fear of succumbing to his instincts). I'm not too sure what Louis' appearance is meant to represent, but it could be to highlight his relationships with both Legosi and Haru.

This list but since im not watching the 2nd or last show it would likely be Dark Crow, Magical Babyrinth or MAYDAY.
Just speaking about the songs not the quality of the OP's (animation included)

SAO's Ending this season? YES! SAO's opening this season? Definitely not. Its the worst SAO opening and it isn't even close. Give me LiSA or ReoNa any day!

It wasn't excluded. It's on the list as "'Magical Babyrinth' by DA PUMP (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun)" Not too late to change your vote!
I like it too - it's sure one hell of an ear worm.

To my knowledge it has not been available to view in the US where I am unless you know different. BTW, the presenter for this article said the same thing. I have been interested in seeing it actually in case you somehow think I have some ax to grind, I just wanted others who commented to know where I am coming from, that what the producers want interested potential viewers to know about the show the OP doesn't fit at all.

Nobody mentions it, but Assassins Pride has a really cool OP. The chorus that is repeated at the beginning and at the end is very pleasant to listen to and watch.
