Music Tournament 3: Anime Opening Songs
Hello and welcome to our third music tournament! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ
This time, the theme will be Anime Opening Songs! ╰( ･ ᗜ ･ )╯
We have asked our fellow members at Mangadex to submit the 64 best opening songs that they have heard from their favorite anime. These 64 songs will now face off against each other for the number 1 spot, as the best opening song in anime chosen by Mangadex users. ╰(✧∇✧╰)
Of course, this title is purely subjective, so even if your favorite track doesn't win, uhm... Just try to not feel too bad! (￣▽￣)ノ
The rules are simple. You will listen to the songs and vote for the ones you like most. After 24 hours, the votes will be counted, and whichever tracks have more votes will advance to the next round. If two tracks have the same number of votes, a tie-breaker expert will be asked to step in to cast the decided vote. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
In order to avoid burnout, we will only do 4 match-ups each day. The result might be posted a bit late, but please don't wait until the last minute to vote. If you know you're going to be busy on a certain day, you are allowed to vote in advance. ヾ(o✪‿✪o)ｼ
Feel free to discuss about the songs and anime with each other, too. We love discussions here, and that will make the tournament even livelier! ⌒°(ᴖ◡ᴖ)°⌒
Now, some of you might be confused by the new World Cup-like format. But rest assured, we will proceed just like our previous tournaments. (๑￫‿ฺ￩๑)
Now, make sure you turn your volume up, sit in a comfortable position, relax yourself, and listen to the songs. Enjoy and have fun! ヾ(o✪‿✪o)ｼ
