Only themes that premiered during the winter 2025-fall 2025 season may be nominated. For example:
"Hebi" from Orb may be nominated, but not "Aporia."
"Unmei?" from 100 Kanojo may be nominated, but not "sweet sign."
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.)
You have a full week to nominate stuff this year. But don't wait until the end if you really want something nominated- there's always sad people who didn't get their favorite themes in in time. Don't be that sad person.
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.
I'll try to sift through everything quickly, but once again, I'm a little busy this year. So don't worry if your nominee doesn't show up right away, I will get to it!
