Credits Jukebox

The most common norm for live-action or animated series is a maximum of two or three opening and/or ending themes per season, and the ocassional special-event or Finale Credits tune. When a show has a large number of OP/ED songs in a relatively short period of time, we're witnessing a Credits Jukebox. Happens almost exclusively with anime endings.

Can overlap with Evolving Credits. Not related to Credits Medley.

Anime:

If variations count, Akikan! has a different arrangement of the ED every time, sometimes with guest singers. Last episode went to Miku Hatsune. In a case of Tropes Are Not Good, this might have been what made the studio skimp on the animation budget.
