Rules

Every single eligible anime of the season with at least 3000 members on MAL has been included in the contest, roughly doubling the number of participants compared to before
The contest will no longer have multiple rounds in a bracket format. Instead it will just be one big free-for-all round to decide everything. There will still be two entries posted per day, however every entry is competing against every other in the whole lineup. It is not just a direct head-to-head competition between the two themes in the same post, that is only for scheduling purposes. Don't try to simply compare the two of them against each other; judge every entry individually
When judging the entries, you should no longer simply vote for one or the other. Instead you should give a rating to both contestants
This is done by giving each entry a score on a 1-10 scale for both the audio and the video separately. Decimals are not allowed. For clarification, see the example post in the following section
At the end of the tournament, there will be three winners crowned. One for best average audio score, one for best average video score, and one for best average total score, where the latter can be considered the "true" bracket winner
Don't try to abuse the system. We will be keeping close tabs on everyone's votes in the tournament spreadsheet so we will easily notice if someone tries to forcibly give out 10/10s to one entry and 1/10s to everything else just to boost the chances of their favourite entry. The admins have the right to disqualify any such votes from the competition altogether
A new pair of entries will be showcased every day throughout the tournament's running and every group will remain open for voting for approximately 72 hours. We've increased the time every round remains open by 50% since with just one big round, you only have one opportunity per entry to speak your mind about it. However, it will not really affect the overall tournament schedule as the full competition will last about a month in total regardless
There will be a big data spreadsheet linked further down which anyone can open at any time to check on the current standings of the contestants and the tournament schedule

Example Post

Entry 1:
Audio - x/10
Video - y/10

Entry 2:
Audio - z/10
Video - t/10

Entry 3:
Audio - a/10
Video - b/10

Simply replace "Entry 1, 2, 3" with the titles of the anime you're judging and then input whatever numeric scores you feel like they deserve below instead of the symbols. Please make sure it is obvious who you are voting for.

Try to vote for the best opening/ending, not the best show.
Every round will run for roughly 72 hours-ish and new one gets posted every day.
If you notice any mistakes, please comment below. Some songs may be pitched/nightcored due copyright issues.

Seeds are shuffled.

Since some shows can have multiple openings/endings, we have decided to allow only the first one into the competition. It seems the best and the most fair solution. We want many different contestants rather than one show taking whole bracket.

Also, since there are many much more obscure shows included with the new tournament format, there is a chance that some themes might simply be impossible to find on the internet. If it turns out that we are unable to track down a copy of the entry for the purposes of the tournament then the contestant may have to be disqualified.

If you have questions, ask them below.

Okay, I'm sorry for saying this song was completely unmemorable, but I never listened to it properly. It's not that bad tbh. The video is as simple as it gets but manages to encompass a plethora of emotions such as hope, yearning and loneliness. And ends on a subtly satisfying note.

GIMME ALL THE LSD!!! (Is that a viable comment for this). Also, being the first time I've actually watched the OP, now I realize that Magmel is in the Pacific Ocean lol.

I had to cover my screen for half the OP but as far as I can tell, the OP is simple yes, but unlike Fruits Basket there nothing particularly special about it. Nice art though.

Audio - 6/10 (Seemed kinda boring to me at first, but such a calm and melancholic song actually has it's own charm)
Video - 4/10 (Well this is as simple as it gets but at least it fits the song)

The song is soothing and the video fits the song, but there are way too many stills to give the video a good score.

Gunjou no Magmel | OP:

The song and video are weirdly upbeat and blinding. Not at all to my tastes.

Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine | OP:

Are those...CGI sunflowers at the beginning? Why do they look so weird? And I get that it's a tall task to introduce nine girls in a minute-thirty spot, but this was pretty unsuccessful at that endeavor. The song is some average pop number.
