| "IRIS OUT" by Kenshi Yonezu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux3QETpLcPs Does this count? The movie is listed as part of the Summer season, and I don't see any exclusion on movies. |
| Hmm, I don't think I've watched any 2025 animes besides Shield Hero and Rezero which used 2024 op/ed. Too lacking exp points to contribute honestly on this topic. I appreciate the tag tho. |

| Oh I was wondering when this tournament would be! I'll nominate the beautiful bossa nova OP from Ame to Kimi to "Ame to (ι¨γ¨)" by Mamiko Suzuki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmuZxXI4lU |
| @Roixesae I replaced the music video with the TV version because, in this context, the animation matters just as the audio. Now it's all good. |

| @UberBat Cat’s♥Eye OP is somewhat debatable, but I added it since the time span isn't convenient. |

| @Cielord Yeah, it counts. I was hoping someone would nominate the Chainsaw Man Movie OP because I wanted to see it included here. |

UberBat said: IMO, I think that should be fine-- it's different music anyway. There might be a case for it complimenting the video better, or fitting the Anime itself. I think I remember Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny series also using the same video for 2nd cour but with different music.So tempted to nominate the second ed for The Summer Hikaru died instead but feels like cheating as it's essentially the same visuals but different song.

| I was kind of surprised neither the Chainsaw Man movie OP nor ED was nominated yet, so I thought it had something to do with the rules, hence why I asked. Hopefully someone nominates the ED next. |

| @Jellybeanx Sorry, but only one OP or ED is allowed per ppl for this event. |
|
| What's the format like this time around? I remember in Spring 2025 there was a weird format where the brackets combined at the end and it was kind of awkward. |

| @pgroove The previous one was our first attempt, so the entire process served as an experiment for future improvements, and we can make decisions based on the overall response. Additionally, if you recall or check the Spring 2025 podium, you’ll notice there was an extra combined round, though its results did not actually affect the final winners |

Both openings are visually great and feel unique in many ways. That's why the song won me over, and I liked more Shield Hero S4 OP's song. It's a shame that one of them will have to be eliminated. :( |

| Round of 32 (OP) 1. Dr. Stone S4 P2 OP (That was fun to watch and the visuals were striking. The song was fitting) 2. Food Court de, Mata Ashita. OP (These two OPs are almost equals. They both have great animation and a catchy peppy song. Food Court wins though because I just realized that I miss this show more than I thought I did.) 3. Dandadan S2 OP (I like how it is tradition now to use the words dan da dan as a catchy lyric for the OP. And it was by far it more interesting one of the two to watch. Shield Hero reminded me of Sunday morning cartoons) 4. Zutaboro Reijou wa Ane no Moto Konyakusha ni Dekiai sareru OP (While I think the Silent Witch visuals are more impressive, the song in Zutaboro is strong enough to carry it ahead here. I like how the vibe of the exotic lands that Kyros is from is woven into the music. It sounds like it would fit right in with Aladdin or something. It's a nice touch that helps set the mood well.) |

| Round of 32 (OP) 1. Karaoke Iko!. Why was this song such a bop lol 2. Abstained. This was hard to pick; both OPs did what they needed to. Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai's OP was impressively well-animated, but Food Court's OP made me really want to like the show even though I haven't watched it. 3. Dandadan S2. It's just a good opening. 4. Silent Witch. Hitsujibungaku is always great, and of course the visuals are fantastic too. |
