Speaking on the theme songs, I really like both "Blaze", and "Loop". These are the only ones I've heard, so forgive me for missing any, I haven't seen the series.
However, there is something I could say for the work Yuki Kajiura did on the OST. It's simply great! I love all of the FictionJunction collaborations in particular.

I like both EDs (by Maaya Sakamoto) - Loop (season 1) and Kazemachi Jet. I think that both songs are different from the anime themes in anime these days. Both songs aren't cutesy and fast, but instead soothing and gentle. Maaya Sakamoto's voice is just perfect for both songs.
I also like one of the insert songs, Aikoi. It has a really nice beat and it's a good dance track.
