Rules:
- Listen to both songs in a given match, at least through the loop time provided (to make sure you don't skip before you've heard the whole thing!)
- Please consider the loop point listed when judging the song; if a video loops one minute 5 times, don't treat it as if it's a repetitive 5 minute song
- If it's a match between your favorite song ever and a song you despise, still LISTEN TO BOTH! Votes can and will be disqualified if there is suspicion songs are not being listened to, and you may be discounted for the rest of the contest for repeat offenses.
- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.
- Don't discuss vote tallies in this thread, or in other threads, as they may influence votes. Likewise, please refrain from looking at the running tally before voting.

match 1 is difficult and i could flip. Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA; has grown on me over the course of the contest. i think early on i was like "oh come on there are so many better ar tonelico series songs" (especially since i think the non-vocal ones aren't given enough spotlight these days) and i think although i still feel that way, unblinded by that frustration i can't deny that this is actually a pretty amazing standout. morrigan in particular consistently writes the vocal tracks that excite me the most i'm realizing, even songs i didn't realize were by morrigan until just now. this track is one of the best examples of that really uncanny artificial offkilter rhythmic monotone roboty vocals that pretty much define what pops into my head when i think "ar tonelico vocal tracks i think are cool"

New rankings, out of 16, with placements on the spreadsheet. The four songs that rate below a 7 will not have ratings or rankings listed.

1. Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure - Soaring Through Azure Sadness (10; #49)

vs.

8. Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star - Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA; (7.5; #1456)

*throws spreadsheet in the garbage*

Ive said multiple times that Azure Sadness is my favorite song remaining. But I really was not feeling it today. PROTECTA has consistently grown on me all contest. Easy match.

and

9. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Fogbeasts (7.5; #1471)

vs.

10. Cladun: This is an RPG - The Explosion (7; #1775)

Ahh, my poor spreadsheet, going up in flames! I even reranked some of these today! Ah well. I cant adjust this thing every single time my opinion of a song fluctuates. Well, I could, but that would be maddening.
