Good evening, Generalbros! I, the miraculous Tiddy, am here to begin the moderately anticipated 'Music Tournament 3.5: Anime Endings (Cut Versions)'!

And with a new tournament comes a new bracket! If you have a keen eye, you may just notice that the finals round looks like it was dropped on its head as a baby a bit different than last time!

Over the years, I've made quite a few connections with prevalent figures in various walks of life. That's how I managed to secure this tournament's sponsor. A big name in the industryTM, our guest has flown out from his home country to be with us today! His name starts with an 'M', and he's got quite the lucsious locks. Already have an idea of who it is? Click below to see if you got it right!​

That's correct, it's Monke!
The floor is yours, Monke. Please give the people a warm welcome.

Ojamashigatou, Monke-san! You're a true class act!

As many of you already know, the submission method for this tournament is a first, in that all songs were submitted anonymously. Not even I know who submitted what, due to the fact that I share this account with my stepdad, and he's the one that handled the submissions thread.

Anyways, the list of songs, contestants, format, rules, and results (which will be updated periodically) are all below, so this post can be used as a souls-like hub at any time.

Now for the format and rules. Best read this shit boi, else I'll have to get my slipper.​
Format
Code:
Tl;dr:
Code:
Vote on the current match-ups by posting in this thread. The easiest way to vote is just to copy-paste the most recently listed match-ups and [b]bold[/b] the songs you vote for.
And jk about the slipper.
[ul]1. There are 64 entries in this tournament. All songs in the running are the cut versions of anime endings, i.e. the ending themes you see at the end of most anime episodes. Since visuals differentiate these endings, factoring each ending's visuals into your vote is encouraged.

2. Each voting phase will last approximately two days. After a voting phase ends, the next one begins immediately. Voting phases will begin and end between ~10 p.m. and ~1 a.m. Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If you want to check where your time zone is, I brought this map with me, so take a look.

3. Any ties are broken by our residential Haikubro, @EOTFOFYL. He will vote in each round, but a vote of his will only be counted when a respective match-up results in a tie, thus breaking said tie.

4. Each round consists of a maximum of eight match-ups. The semifinals will consist of four match-ups, and the finals will consist of six (where each song faces all others once).

[ul]a. The finals will consist of the winning songs from each quadrant matching up against all other winners. Once the finals voting phase is over, the rankings are decided by the total votes of the match-ups. Haikubro's votes will count for these match-ups. In the event of a tie in total votes, the two tied songs will be ranked based on the winner of their respective finals match-up.[/ul]
5. Whenever a new voting phase starts, everyone on the 'ping list' will be @'ed in the post that begins the phase. This list is used to encourage participation in the tournament as well as make manually checking for a new voting phase unnecessary. Without notifications and/or actual songs of yours in the running, it can be easy to forget a tournament is going on, especially if you don't have some sort of reminder. By default, the only ones on this ping list are the actual contestants. If you're not already added to the elite notification squad and wish to be added, just let me know. Alternatively, if you're on the list and wish to be removed for whatever reason, just come to my house and tell me.

[ol]a. Additionally, the three staff members (@Lymus, @Plykiya, and @Zephyrus) will not be on the ping list by default, as they're staff, and staff actually does stuff, and staff is kowai. If any of you three do want to be on the list though, just let me lmk.[/ol]
6. Each contestant with four songs has one song in each bracket to avoid same-user match-ups. There are also a few contestants that only have two submitted songs (due to a lack of space near the end of the submissions thread). The two-song-user submissions are also spread as evenly as possible among the quadrant in order to prevent a higher amount of two-song-users in a single quadrant. The actual match-up order of each quadrant, as well as which quadrant each user's songs are placed in, are completely random.[/ul]​

Rules
[ul]1. Votes from users whose accounts are created during or after November 2020 will not be counted. This is because I don't like new people done to prevent any alt accounts from artificially increasing vote counts.

[ul]a. If a user does vote on an alt in the same voting phase as their main/other alt, their votes will be disqualified for that voting phase. Repeated offenses may result in death, or even disqualification from voting altogether.[/ul]
2. You are only allowed to vote for one song in each match-up (obviously I guess). However, you are still allowed to spread your votes out through multiple comments for a single voting phase, if desired. For example, if you only vote for 5 out of the 8 match-ups one day, and then vote for the remaining 3 the next day, your votes will be counted (given that the voting phase for those match-ups is still ongoing).

3. Voting for your own submission is allowed.

4. Discussion of the endings is heavily encouraged. Even saying things along the lines of "this ED is shit" is allowed. I'll probably be calling a few ED's shit here and there, so look out.

5. We're all just here to have a nice time rating some animoo endings. Just as in every other thread in General, not only is shitposting allowed, it's actively encouraged. Have fun. If you don't, I might have to get my slipper for real.

@YumGumYum I like your idea of striking through the "knockout options" so much that I'm gonna copy it.

Anyway, let's get on with my Super Early Edition Votes:

Mahou Sensou ED - Born to be vs. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED1 - ninelie
I was gonna vote Kabanari, but nano = instant vote from me.

Kämpfer ED - One Way Ryouomoi vs. Gosick ED1 - Resuscitated Hope
A bit biased against Kämpfer cuz screw GB, but also "Resuscitated Hope" is a better song. I also just enjoyed the ED more in general.

Trouble Chocolate ED1 - Nee Nani de... vs. Flip Flappers ED - FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP
This one's just better, "nostalgia factor" be damned.

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The New Thesis - Stellar War Part 2 ED2 - Tranquility vs. ERASED ED - Sore wa Chiisana Hikari no Youna
This one is close, but "Tranquility" inches out as just a better song. for me

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai ED1 - Fukashigi no Carte vs. Handa-kun ED - HIDE-AND-SEEK
Stylistically and in sound I just prefer "HIDE-AND-SEEK" in this match-up.

Sgt. Frog ED1 - AFRO Gunsou vs. Kaguya-sama: Love is War ED2 - Chikatto Chika Chika
It's Kaguya, you can't got wrong. Actually, it's Chika. Still can't go wrong though.

Umineko: When They Cry ED - la divina tragedia ~Makyoku~ vs. Kaguya-sama: Love is War ED1 - Sentimental Crisis
I already picked a Kaguya ED, let's stay consistent.

BNA ED - NIGHT RUNNING vs. The Saga of Tanya the Evil ED1 - Los! Los! Los!
This one sucked to pick between. only reason "NIGHT RUNNING" takes it is cuz it's easier to listen to. I like "Los! Los! Los!" so much that I actually won't strike it through.

That's it for my votes, see you guys in Phase 2!
Have a good morning/day/afternoon/evening/night!

Mahou Sensou ED - Born to be vs. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ED1 - ninelie
Mahou Sensou felt more like an OP to me (not that that's a negative or anything). I'm just not a huge fan of the whole talk-singing thing tbqh. And everything Sawano creates is magical, so it's hard to beat ninelie.

Kämpfer ED - One Way Ryouomoi vs. Gosick ED1 - Resuscitated Hope
Booba, sure. But can booba carry an ED? (Hint: no.)

Trouble Chocolate ED1 - Nee Nani de... vs. Flip Flappers ED - FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP
This one is actually a pretty tough decision. FLIP FLAP's visuals can stand on their own tho, and they definitely beat Nee's nonexistent visuals. Nee is a great song tho. If I knew what a guitar, was I'd love to learn it.

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The New Thesis - Stellar War Part 2 ED2 - Tranquility vs. ERASED ED - Sore wa Chiisana Hikari no Youna
More Sawabro is gud. Also, the MC in the other ED skips like a little bitch.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai ED1 - Fukashigi no Carte vs. Handa-kun ED - HIDE-AND-SEEK
Sick of this gosh darn bunny senpai song. Everytime I listen to a youtube mix of anime songs this shit comes on and I have to tab out of whatever so I can skip it. Smh my head.

Sgt. Frog ED1 - AFRO Gunsou vs. Kaguya-sama: Love is War ED2 - Chikatto Chika Chika
Doki doki.

Umineko: When They Cry ED - la divina tragedia ~Makyoku~ vs. Kaguya-sama: Love is War ED1 - Sentimental Crisis
Umineko's reminds me of the first JoJo OP. I like how the Kaguya one tells a story that shows the relationships of the main characters tho. And it's just a funner song.

BNA ED - NIGHT RUNNING vs. The Saga of Tanya the Evil ED1 - Los! Los! Los!
Ez.

Kinda surprised no one submitted the Jujutsu Kaisen ED tbh.
