Brand New World
gravityWall

I like both songs, but Brand New World really does a lot to get you hyped about upcoming fights, promotes Gear Second which for an anime only viewer was cool as the first big transformation. You get a tease of a scary Chopper form and you get the Government/Strawhat staredown. Lot to look forward to. (Had this been Change, I probably would have gone for Bleach)

gravityWall was one of the reasons I checked out Re:Creators. I wasn't that familiar with Sawano at the time either. I liked the reverse isekai stuff with the cool character design. Looked like it could be a Fate style Battle Royal too.

Early days but even though we're getting a blowout and a closeish match per day, I have absolutely no idea what this means for next round.
For all I know the close encounter was just between two super top tier OP/EDs

For EDs I'll heavily favour a good dance, like say the one in Hare Hare Yukai, but I usually prefer lower key EDs after an action packed ep or something to match the hook on a cliffhanger. Roundabout used to fit Jojo episode endings so well.

OPs I'll factor in the animation pretty heavily as I want it to sell me on the show or make me look forward to the episode. I swear Crossing Field is half the reason why I stuck by SAO.

What are the supposed killer matches for Round 1?

Magia/Oddtaxi, Kuso Rumba/Shinzou wo Sasageyo, 99.9/Flyers

Stand out for me, but for others it could be completely different matchups.

I have no clue as to what will actually do well.
I guess I'm surprised at how many "classics" are missing or which picks for certain series got in.

Like, I'm never gonna say anything bad about Ranbu no Melody, but for me Change is the one since the OP starts playing in my head as soon as I see that still of Orihime.

No Melissa for FMA!

Unravel gets lucky

I can kick it too, but I'll randomise who I bring back to life.

Mobilezoid posted...

Looks like voltch didn't fix this one and it got knocked out by RNG. As the one responsible for 3/4 of its noms, I hope it can be adjusted to get back in! I don't expect it to do well, but it's my favorite anime so after someone else nominated it I felt obligated.

Also, thank you to you and voltch (and anyone else who tallied anything). I didn't have time to check stuff myself, but it looked difficult to keep track of.

It's now back in.

I'll work on the bracket, should be able to finalise after football is done.

Guren no Yumiya was nommed by Janus, he just got the title wrong.

I will always be on the side that thinks K-On EDs>K-On OPs

Assuming no eliminations from the 3s when I run the randomiser, I've seen at least 3 of these artists live.

Mildly surprised that Kara no Kokoro was the Shippuden OP to get love, I assumed Silhouette or even Hero's Come Back to get a bit of love.

Heck with Brotherhood I thought Golden Time Lover or Again would have a bit of traction.

In any case I'll create a discussion topic with the bracket, surprised my old bracketmaker account still existed.

I'm not actually that hung up about it, if anything I should have made a bigger effort to get a Lia or non-SAO LiSA song in

I think these are the ones that got 3 or more, will run RNG to knock out the 3s until the field is at 64.

Giving plenty of time for corrections as I've likely made many a mistake.

Oh no, think that knocks Blue Bird out.

How did I keep the Yoasobi mispelling go on for so long when I'm such a fan of their work.

Yep, though I'll update after the deadline as there's quite a bit of last min switching.

Whew, Reine's coin gathering, looks like Irys can take a rest.
Was worried at first as her feathers made me wonder if she'd be too similar to Mumei, but on the whole each character has felt unique enough.

WazzupGenius00 posted...

And its not like the characters are why anyone likes any of the other games in this genre so you dont really need that knowledge here. I cant tell you the name of a single VS character and I 100%ed the base game

True, though I guess this one gets a little more involved due to the streams where the Vtubers play their own characters.

In some aspects I do like it more than VS.
Though it's mostly due to all the references to the Vtubers that have been added.

For those who like the lore there's a lot going on, though I think even if I wasn't big on Hololive, the sprites still look pretty appealing.

yep working on it so will try to have it up today.

It's actually kinda wild just how much the game has improved since the first version.

Game is finally availabe on Steam

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420510/HoloCure__Save_the_Fans/

What is HoloCure?

HoloCure is a free fangame that plays like Vampire Survivors but features Hololive Virtual YouTubers as the playable characters.
The gameplay does have some notable differences to VS with each character having their own individual skills.

The latest update coming with the Steam release is Holohouse a new gameplay mode featuring additional minigames.

What's Hololive?

It's one of the biggest Virtual Youtuber groups in the world with talents based in Japan, NA, EU and Indonesia.
Their content is the usual streamer content only with an avatar replacing their IRL face. So a lot of gameplay stream, just chatting, singing karaoke, drawing art etc.
They saw a sharp uptick in popularity in 2020 and have gone from strength to strength since then

Various streams of the Vtubers playing the game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsnxd0_lcaE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FS_noi9Uq8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsneBgDq7RM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixMyHJmLHLI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kEVYZ307sY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eql5BfKU_s

The game was already available for free prior. If you've played the game before, downloading it on Steam will still let you continue using your old save file.

This new update sees the addition of the HoloID characters.
If you liked Vampire Survivors give this a shot. In any case it's free.

So is max 3 OPs + EDs combined from the same show? e.g. I can't nominate 6 videos with 3 OPs and 3 EDs

Correct, it's to encourage variety. Though I guess I should also have limited how many songs from the same artist, but won't enforce that restriction this go around.

Film OPs and EDs are allowed, but this is taking into account that in many cases a film ED is usually song on black screen with credits, or an insert image showing what the characters are up to, so there's usually not much going on there.

Most of them don't even have an OP, though some of course do.

No problem on edits as I've not started tallying.

You can specify the version if not, then it defaults to the first one.

Mobilezoid posted...

Can we trade nominations? Not sure if I even would, just curious.

Trades are ok.

The idea for this has been floated for some time on discord.
But we're now well between SMFAS periods so could be a good time.
This will be a single elimination tournament style bracket instead of a Save My.

Nominations:

You may nominate up to 15 different anime OPs or EDs.
You can apply Double Noms for up to 5 of those by bolding them.
You can nominate a maximum of 3 openings/endings from the same show.

This contest is for the anime openings and endings used during the airing of the show.
So the spirit of the contest is that we're combining the opening or ending's animation with the song. Not just the song on its own.
Songs used within the show that aren't used for the opening or ending won't count. Ex: God Knows

Please try to use the following format when nominating:

OP/ED # - Song Name - Artist - TV Series
Ex:
OP 1 Colors - Flow - Code Geass: Lelouche of the Rebellion

Bracket will be for 64 entrants.

Nominations close end Saturday 19th August 22:00 GMT

Some resources to help find a song name or link to the song (outside of youtube)
