It's that time again!

The tournament is simple. 64 OP songs and 64 ED songs are nominated and seconded among us all, then pitted against one another bracket-style until we have only one Best OP and one Best ED of 2011. Rally votes for your favorites, watch perennial selections get crushed to newer fare in the first round, and enjoy listening to some songs you may have never heard before. But before any of that, let's get our nominees.

Here's how it works.

1. Everyone gets to nominate 5 OPs and 5 EDs. Less if they wish, but not more.

2. Anyone can second any song nominated. YOU CANNOT SECOND YOUR OWN NOMINATION. Once 64 OPs and 64 EDs have been nominated, the tournament will begin.

3. NEW FOR 2012 - You can nominate 3 more OPs and 3 more EDs for every week until all OP and ED slots are filled.

3. No alts whatsoever.

4. No songs from shows currently licensed to air on AS or have aired on AS in previous years.

5. The following songs have already won, and therefore are not eligible for the tournament.

- "Rewrite" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation (Fullmetal Alchemist OP4)

- "Houkiboshi" by Younha (Bleach ED3)

- "Rolling Star" by Yui (Bleach OP5)

- "Ride On Shooting Star" by the pillows (FLCL ED)

- "Duvet" by Boa (Serial Experiments Lain OP)

- "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead (Ergo Proxy ED)

- "Ash Like Snow" by the brilliant green (Gundam 00 OP2)

- "Gravity" by Maaya Sakamoto (Wolf's Rain ED1)

- "Guns and Roses" by Paradise Lunch (Baccano! OP)

- "Shiki no Uta" by Minmi (Samurai Champloo ED1)

- "Allegro Cantabile" by SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH (Nodame Cantabile OP)

- "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" by supercell (Bakemonogatari ED)

Finally, for reference, please label your nominees as such, and as a courtesy, please include links to where people can listen to the songs you nominate.

I'm going to go with stuff I've never nominated before, just because it's boring doing the same ones over and over. Plus that add 3 more means I can always nominate them later if spots are still open.
