Rules:
- Listen to ALL of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Special rules for the wildcard matches:
- Yes, there are 9 songs.
- You may vote 6 times.
- You may vote a maximum of 3 times for the same song
- The intent is that you will select a +3, a +2, and a +1. This is not mandatory
- DO NOT read the other votes before making (or adjusting) your selection.
- I reserve the right to not count vote changes if I deem them suspicious. If you do change your vote, please be 100% clear in your choice.
- Request: vote in the order the songs are listed (not descending order) to make counting easier

+3 Seto Kaiba

+3 Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)

+3 Onboro

I will take a hundred+ dumb anime songs if I can get just one Onboro again. What a fucking powerful song.

Rankings: (Actually finally got done with this. Only top 100 though. Any more would kill me as that means listening to a bunch of 5/10 or worse stuff multiple times eventually.)

Onboro - 5th
Apex of the World (Rain) - 9th
Arcade Menu - 78th
Main Theme - NR*
The Best is Yet to Come - NR
Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf - NR
Seto Kaiba - NR
Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix) - NR
The Least 333 sec - NR

*NR denotes worse than 100th.

+1 The Best Is Yet To Come
+1 Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf
+1 Seto Kaiba
+1 Arcade Menu
+1 The Least 333sec
+1 The Apex of the World (Rain)

Didn't have terribly strong preferences for this one so here's a rare 6-way split

Despite this, I actually do feel strongly against two of the ones I'm not voting for so I'm not looking forward to one of them winning probably

+3 Metal Gear Solid - The Best Is Yet To Come
+3 Fire Emblem: Three Houses - The Apex of the World (Rain)
---

+2 Main Theme
+1 Onboro
+2 The Least 333sec
+1 The Apex of the World (Rain)

Everything I voted for has given me chills. This group is OP please just let one of these win

---

+3 The Best is Yet to Come

...yeah, that's basically all I got. This was not a strong wild card.

---

+3 The Caligula Effect: Overdose - Onboro

---

+3 Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf
+2 Onboro
+1 Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)

+3 Least
+2 Celestial
+1 Onboro
---

+3 Main Theme
+3 Seto Kaiba

tempted to only +3 kaiba because I'm so enthused by its status as my favorite pseudo-new-discovery of the contest, and would just rather see it be the winner; even if Main Theme I actually like more and ranked higher. Hopefully I don't regret my choice to +3 both!

these two are like my favorite two things to be in a wildcard so far so really hoping at least one of the two makes it through somehow!!!

+3 Main Theme
+3 The Least 333sec

this day is hecked. 6 songs I want to support, which has me particularly afraid that it'll be one of the 3 I don't want that wins, due to LFF or whatever. Giving each of them +1 does not seem all that productive in this case, no instead I feel like I need to max out my support to the ones I think would make the strongest wildcard. Least 333sec was an easy choice at that, but deciding between Tong Nou Main Theme & Seto Kaiba was trickier. sorry mr kaiba sir

+3 Seto Kaiba
+2 Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf
+1 Arcade Menu

---

+2 Main Theme
+1 Seto Kaiba
+3 Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)

Ughhh, really want to boost all of these, but splitting 2s does not seem productive... Gotta sacrifice one to give another one a better chance, unfortunately.

---

+3 Main Theme
+3 Seto Kaiba

If I had seven points to spend, The Apex of the World (Rain) would get one.

+3 Battle! Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf
+1 Seto Kaiba
+1 Onboro
+1 Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)
