Only themes that premiered during the winter 2024-fall 2024 season may be nominated. For example:
"Aporia" from Orb may be nominated, but not "Hebi."
"Reweave" from Re:Zero may be nominated, but not "Realize."
"Shayou;" even though "Shayou" played this year it did not premiere this year, making it ineligible.
(The exception is if the animation for a theme is completely different, such as with "Anytime Anywhere" from Sousou no Frieren.)
Insert songs are not allowed.
Either add a screenshot from the theme for the picture or leave it blank, unless it's a theme with no visuals, in which case just put whatever. (To add an image, you have to have an image url. Right click on an image and hit "copy URL". Upload the image to imgur or some other image sharing website if you screenshotted it. That is a pain, so it's okay to just leave it blank.)
There's a full week for nominations this year.
Each round will last approximately 24 hours and each update will be at about 12pm EST (that's 9am PST).
Please do not share the bracket in anime-specific communities to get more votes, to keep things fair. I may have to disqualify them if you do.
And remember, we're voting for the quality of the theme itself, not the anime it comes from. Great themes can come from not-so-great anime, and vice-versa.
