Best Anime Song Contest

If quality is your primary concern, shouldn't you be getting lossless? ;(

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nope, because lossless and VBR are pretty much undistinguishable. the difference is 128kbps enters territory when your ears can easily hear the compression on songs that have a ton of instruments.

Most amazing jew boots

Of course!!! Anime music is even wealthier and more interesting than VGM. Although... I think Yoko Kanno would dominate the entire contest... but there are others like Seisouhen or Gundam.

Basic thing is I just want to get to know the best anime music there is and a contest is the means to get it. Just like a world war is a good thing for getting new technology.

And another thing. I don't know much about anime music and maybe there are others who are similar to me. So you could see it as a recommendation contest for people like me.

Also, in my opinion people don't have to know the basics of anime music, they just have to nominate what they know. The idea of instrumental anime music together with sung music is better than only sung music because it's more flexible and will have a bigger spectrum in getting to know good music. Don't confine yourself in vocal music... this means also: don't confine yourself to the Op/End themes.

If the Op/End themes are really, really good, they will automatically appear in the contest, you don't need to make an Op/End contest. The basic thing is: all anime music should be accounted for, whether it's memorable or not, beautiful music is the most important factor.

I was speaking idiomatically.
