Hello, all! Near the end of my previous Best Anime Opening Tournament, I promised that I would eventually run a Best Anime Ending (or ED) Tournament as well. That time has now come. This tourney will follow a similar format to the previous one (as well as many of the other tournaments on this site). This particular thread is for nominations, with two main actions you can do:
- Nominate an opening. At the very least we need to know the series and some sort of identifier, preferably the name of the song. A YouTube link specifically for the ED (and not just the song itself) would also be appreciated, as it would make it easier for me when putting together the main rounds of the tournament.
- Upvote nominations. You can upvote as many nominations as you like (even your own). The number of upvotes at the end of the nominating period will determine which openings make it through to the tournament proper as well as the seeding.
As with the OP tournament, the judging criteria should be a mix of the music and the visuals. However, I do realize that EDs are more likely than OPs to be lacking in significant animation, which could result in more complicated decision-making. Use your own judgment in determining with EDs you prefer.
The number of EDs in the starting round of the tournament (likely 64 or 128, but possibly a different number if necessary) will be dependent on the number of nominations received.
Nominations will be open until Saturday, May 4th, at 5:00 PM ET/4:00 PM CT/2:00 PM PT. If you have any questions, be sure to ask!
I will likely be upvoting nominations during this stage, but once we get to the elimination rounds I will only vote in the case of a tie.
