Two very similar sounding endings yet one is better than the other.  We'll know in a week which one it is.

I abstain my vote because I don't particularly like either of them and I don't want to help their overall ending standing!

It is kinda hard to vote, Thank you for everything is so-so, ZARD's music is quite good, but the clip... I'll have to wait for a proper decision. -.-

It's a good idea, but it won't work.  If you really don't care for either, then don't vote, but keep in mind that not voting won't help others endings do better.

How are you determinining the 2nd/3rd/etc places then (as I seem to remember you mentioning something about giving places other than first)?

I somehow doubt that this contest would be a single round.  It seems to me the plan is to use the popularity to determine seeds for the next round.  Whether it's traditional tournament type seeding or play-off type seeding, I'm not sure.

Well, first of all, the final decision will be up to Umandsf, as officially this is his contest.  I'm just running it for now.  But, if he choses to run it the same way that I'm running the opening contest, then GinRei is correct, the popularity of each ending will be used to seed the next round.  It will be done in a way, however, such that the total number of votes is not the primary criteria, so whether you vote or not, it will have little overall effect on the seedings of the other endings.

Oh yeah, this was when they had the retarded idea of getting rid of the scenes from the actual episode from the ED which caused the animation to be absurdly boring.

Anyway, I voted for Kanashii hodo Anata ga suki. A great Zard song.

To be honest I prefer the episode recap to be excluded from the endings. It always seemed unnecessary and distracting...

gotcha, wasn't aware we were doing this all more than once.
