- Eliminations -

As per usual, we must tragically start with the eliminations. It was very difficult to choose, all entries were wonderfully done. We could definitely tell that everyone had put their hearts into their entries. But unfortunately, a tournament wouldn’t be a tournament without eliminations. And thus, here are our eliminations.

Team Grimoire Heart

Forelsket: Rewriting the Stars

- Theme -

For the second round, you’ll have to put on your music cap! Our theme is:

Music

The exact prompt is that you and your team are to pick 6 to 9 anime songs and switch them for NON-ANIME songs. For example, I can take Attack on Titan’s ‘Shinzo wo Sasageyo!’ and switch it with Duckwrth’s ‘Start a Riot’ because they’re both very energetic songs.

Special Rule

The special rule is that the non-anime songs that you pick have to be from other medias. This includes video games, cartoons, movies, etc. Anything that is NOT anime!

What we’re looking for specifically:

We want to see strong reasonings for why that song would fit perfectly for the anime, whether it be for the anime’s opening, ending, specific scenes, or episodes OST! Your reasoning can be anything, ranging from the lyrics fitting the anime theme to the instruments in the background suiting the scenes energy.

And of course, the most important, it must all relate and connect heavily to anime!!
