Most are like generic jpop. I'm not sure what series you're watching. The only two that really come to mind that are jazz are Cowboy Bebop and the Gunsmith Cats OVA. I hope you're not implying Cruel Angel's Thesis is jazz in any way.
Hudson Diaz
I suppose my question is, why does jpop sound so much like jazz?
Jayden Cook
It doesn't though. I think you've fallen for the trap of thinking that watching Evangelion means you've seen all of anime.
Jace Campbell
You rarely hear saxophones in western music outside of jazz and blues though, and saxophones are very apparent in most jpop anime openings.
Lincoln Diaz
I assume OP is a redditor by their shitty caption meme so you are probably right
Gabriel Collins
Because you have no idea what jazz is.
Saxophones were really big in like 70s rock music, user. And having a saxophone doesn't make you jazz.
Justin Gomez
>saxophone=jazz
And here I was thinking my undestanding of jazz was pretty bad.
Jordan Clark
Jazz chords sound great and Japan has truly embraced this.
Jayden Roberts
You'll have to provide some examples OP
Oliver Carter
Saxophone doesn't appear in non-western music, what are you talking about?
Logan Powell
what are you even talking about?
I'd really like to see some examples from you, cause when you say "jazz" in anime openings I'm thinking about something like this:

Maybe “jazz influenced” is a better word.
There’s obviously jazz influence here for example

J pop likes to use different, more complex chord progression than american pop music. Jazz likes to play with music theory. The two are similar in that way.
Owen Robinson
I think you're confusing a song having a strong rhythm with it having anything to do with jazz. Or certain instrumentation. This is a pretty normal pop song. Not even jpop. If you go and listen to indie pop you'll hear millions of songs that sound really similar. This doesn't even sound much like older jazz like big band or swing let alone later jazz that doubled down on the experimental and adventuring aspect.
As some people have said maybe some chord's/chord progressions may be reminiscent of some in jazz but that doesn't mean that a song really has much of anything to do with jazz. Go listen to some Miles Davis and tell me that you hear even a small amount of anime openings that sound like that.

How come there aren't enough EDM anime OPs?
Joseph Walker
Because it's gay.
Nolan Smith
>hating on myth&roid
Henry Cooper
Isn't Evangelion pop
Adam Perez
Jazz, you say?
Leo Bennett
There is zero jazz influence in that unless you view anything containing trumpets as jazz.
Owen Campbell
I can barely recall any anime OP featuring saxophone while to the top of my head I can name last gaga and Katy Perry songs that feature full on bass solos
This has to be the dumbest thread of the day
Hudson Adams
Because the world needs more jazz, even if it's only used as a major influence.

Does PVs count

William Green
Because they sounds classy

I unironically love MYTH&ROID but I wish they could get more jobs than isekai ops.
Joshua Ortiz
sax ≠ jazz

Why is she so fuckable?

Hudson Anderson
This shit made me laugh, actually true. Fuck Japan.
David Adams
I wish there was more jazz
im sick of general jpop and jrock songs
jazz undertones reigns supreme
