Rules

  • This countdown is only for openings and endings of anime. Other songs featured within the anime do not count.
  • The number of items on your countdown list must be a multiple of 10, with the maximum being 100.
  • You will be posting your countdowns in fifths over the course of five days. For example, if you have 10 items on your countdown, you will post two on each day.
  • You are only allowed one post per round. Use breaks to spread your post out onto several pages.
  • Please title your post, "[Your full username]'s Top [number] Countdown".
  • Posting YouTube videos are highly encouraged! You can post the opening sequence, the full song or both.
  • Only one opening and one ending maximum per series, please. A short-running series with two or more seasons count as one series. A long-running series with a short-running sequel counts as one series. Due to the large number of openings and endings, a long-running series with a long-running sequel counts as two series. A reboot also counts as a separate series.
  • You don't have to have finished-- or even seen the anime to include the opening/ending in your countdown. You just have to like the song/animation.
  • If you like an opening from a series, but not an ending (or vice versa) you can include one without the other.
  • In each entry, you must include the anime's title.
  • Include one or more of the following: what number opening or ending it is (example: OP #3), the song name, and/or the artist. Please be consistent with this, so if you include, say, the artist's name for one entry, you must include it for them all.
  • The openings/endings must be the original openings/endings for each anime-- no dub openings/endings. Sorry, you can't "be the very best like no one ever was."
  • Give a description of why you like the opening/ending. It can be as short or as long as you like.
  • Do your best to write it well. I'm not asking for a perfect paragraph, but please don't use chatspeak, and be careful about your apostrophes and periods. If English is not your first language, don't be discouraged. You're probably better at it than you think. You're certainly better at writing in English than I am at writing in your first language!
  • Keep spoilers to a minimum! Don't forget to use spoiler tags.
  • For returning posters, please indicate that this is your second countdown in the title. Example: "[Your full username]'s Top [number] Countdown 2"

If you have questions, or if something isn't clear to you, let me know.
