Anime Chorus

special category descriptions:

Any week we get 10+ icons you will be asked to vote for a special category. Axel, Kei, or Yami designate the category based on the most fair choice for all the icons submitted (so if it's a mostly textless turnout it won't be best typography!) Here is a glossary of what each category is looking for:

Best Color: Choose the icon that has the best coloring to you.
Best Crop: Choose the icon that has the most innovative and/or appropriate crop.
Best Typography: Choose the icon in which the text looks the best with the entire composition; has nothing to do with what the text actually says.
Best Adaptation: Choose the icon that best represents either the lyrical or word/challenge theme.
Best Composition: Choose the icon that has the best overall look, taking color, text (if applicable), and crop into account.
Most Emotional: Choose the icon in which the character shows the most emotion (can be any emotion).
Most Creative: Choose the icon in which the maker was most imaginative and did something that was unexpected, but still works.
Best Caption: Not to be confused with best typography, choose the icon in which the words in the caption work best with the image.

THEME 20→ Song

Hi kiddies... I just got off work, so sorry this is a little late. The song for this theme is...

The Geeks Get The Girls by American Hi-Fi
( Even losers can get lucky sometimes )

I really love this song. Won't say it is the one I'm most into right now, but that song is inappropriate so... lol. But this is a really fun song and I'm sure everyone can find a line that relates to one of their fandoms in some way.

Have fun guys! I hope to see another great outcome!

Ah, my turn at the wheel. Gotta admit, this is a hard theme for you guys! The theme this week is...

The band Ludo is my choice for artist week. To put it simply, from hearing only three songs they made it to near the top of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are very unique and fun to use when iconing.

You can lyrics from any of their songs (found here). And don't let the titles fool you!!

THEME 14 → Mute

This mute theme, I've decided to let you all take a crack at one of my favorite songs.

Theme 10, guys...this is a big one for us. Back on GJ, we were near Theme 100...but 10, I like 10. ♥ :3 This week is a song and this has been playing on repeat for the past, oh, half an hour and it seems to sum up a lot so...

( BAD DAY → DANIEL POWTER )

Anyway, for Theme 10, I kind of wanted to do something special. So, I was toying with the notion of perhaps...ICON PAIRS! That's right, this theme, your submissions must be a pair! An example;
