Thanks for making it to the end of Tourney 1! I am sooooo happy that ~Asterisk~ won, it has such a special place in my heart and it appears for so many of you as well. For everyone who voted (and this is such a whopping number 230?! holy heck) I adore you. For those of you who stuck it out throughout the 1.5 months this tourney has run, the biggest of respect. And for those of you who followed and shared these polls across all this time...like literally...take my hand in marriage? Or maybe just tell me with you agree/disagree with rankings, your thoughts, your personal rankings, idk just whatever. Other important things I'll mention (or re-mention) now are Bleach TYBW Tourney will be held upon the release of Cour 4. Bleach ED Tourney will happen but undecided on starting date. Aside, I am also terrified of a 30+ ED tourney (...though One Piece is in that realm so maybe it's not as scary as I'm making out to be). Okay, rambling over. I'll probably never end a tourney with this much gratitude again so please accept one last big thank you (─‿‿─)♡
Bonus: This OP has so many great moments but this is definitely my favourite part. I think it's changed over time - it used to be when Tatsuki and Orihime spray paint the screen raaah just so much good stuff, tell me urs maybe
