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

It's taken a very hot minute but I am glad to finally say here are the results for Tourney 2, Best Naruto OP! My final takeaways from this is that Naruto fans have very good music taste - I feel it was a fight between nostalgia (GO!!!) and taste (AKFG) and taste won out! Both would have been great options - however it is still unforgivable that Stance Punks is last place...

Feel free to comment your own rankings and thoughts here and thanks to everyone who voted and thanks for sticking around when I get incredibly slow at updates dattebayo 🧡

It comes with no surprises to me to crown Ikimonogakari's Blue Bird as the best Naruto Shippuden OP! So many bangers in the Naruto Shippuden discog and in my mind there were a lot of brutal match ups - however the voting did show some clear faves over others so maybe my nostalgia blurred my judgements. But for example, I do think Closer would have ranked higher if it hadn't been surrounded by such tough competition? Same with distance - that song had to tap out too early (╥_╥) My big takeaway from this is I should have ranked all OPs. At the time I thought it was too much work but after doing One Piece, it actually helps a lot either rank all of them, or only the winners. With that said, F-Tier tourney when; are there any tracks that deserve redemption; and most importantly, Naruto vs Naruto Shippuden OP tourney when?

Thanks so much for voting and following again, love you all 🫶

ps - this gif is crazy to me but also me giving you flowers for participating
